A 20~\mu F20 μF capacitor has previously charged up to contain a total charge of Q = 100~\mu CQ=100 μC on it. The capacitor is t

hen discharged by connecting it directly across a 100-k\Omega100−kΩ resistor. At what point in time after the resistor is connected will the capacitor have 13.5~\mu C13.5 μC of charge remaining on it?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

C = $20 \times 10^{-6} F$

R = $100 \times 10^{3}$ ohm

$Q_{o} = 100 \times 10^{-6}$ C

Q = $13.5 \times 10^{-6} C$

Formula to calculate the time is as follows.

$Q_{t} = Q_{o} [e^{\frac{-t}{\tau}]$

$13.5 \times 10^{-6} = 100 \times 10^{-6} [e^{\frac{-t}{2}}]$

0.135 = $e^{\frac{-t}{2}}$

$e^{\frac{t}{2}} = \frac{1}{0.135}$

= 7.407

$\frac{t}{2} = ln (7.407)$

t = 4.00 s

Therefore, we can conclude that time after the resistor is connected will the capacitor is 4.0 sec.

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the earth (0.50×10−4t) at a distance of 12 cm

Studentka2010 [4]

The magnetic field generated by a wire carrying a current I is:
$B(r) = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$
where r is the distance at which the magnetic field is measured, and $\mu_0 = 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2}$ is the magnetic permeability in vacuum.

The problem says that the magnetic field at a distance r=12 cm=0.12 m from the wire must be no larger than $B=0.5 \cdot 10^{-4}T$ . Substituting these values, we can find the maximum value of the current I that the wire can carry:
$I= \frac{2 \pi r B}{\mu _0} = \frac{2 \pi (0.12 m)(0.5 \cdot 10^{-4}T)}{ 4 \pi \cdot 10^{-7} NA^{-2}}= 30 A$

A 60 kg boy and 40 kg girl stand on skateboards on a frictionless horizontal surface. The boy pushes the girl away from him. The

bezimeni [28]

Here in the above situation when boy pushes the girl there will be equal and opposite force on boy as per Newton's III law.

Due to this action reaction law boy will also go back with some speed.

Since there is no external force on this girl + boy system so we can use momentum conservation principle here.

As per momentum conservation

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$60*0 + 40*0 = 60*v_{1f} + 40*0.3$

$0 = 60*v_{1f}+ 12$

$v_{1f} = -0.2 m/s$

So boy will go back with speed 0.2 m/s

Part b)

Since the boy and girl will always exert same force on each other by Newton's III law so it has no it matter whether the boy pushed the girl, the girl pushed the boy, or they put their hands together and pushed each other away.

As in all above cases the as per Newton's III law the force on them is always equal and opposite.

If the velocity of an object is zero at one instant, what is true about the acceleration of that object

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

I. The acceleration could be positive.

II. The acceleration could be zero.

III. The acceleration could be negative.

Explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;

$Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

If the velocity of an object is zero at one instant, then the acceleration of that object may have the following characteristics;

I. The acceleration could be positive.

II. The acceleration could be zero.

III. The acceleration could be negative.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

$a = \frac{v - u}{t}$

Where,

a is acceleration measured in $ms^{-2}$

v and u is final and initial velocity respectively, measured in $ms^{-1}$

t is time measured in seconds.
