At the moment t = 0, a 20.0 V battery is connected to a 5.00 mH coil and a 6.00 Ω resistor. (a) Immediately thereafter, how does
insens350 [35]

(a) On the coil: 20 V, on the resistor: 0 V

The sum of the potential difference across the coil and the potential difference across the resistor is equal to the voltage provided by the battery, V = 20 V:

V = V_R + V_L

The potential difference across the inductance is given by

V_L(t) = V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} (1)

where

\tau = \frac{L}{R}=\frac{0.005 H}{6.00 \Omega}=8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s is the time constant of the circuit

At time t=0,

V_L(0) = V e^0 = V = 20 V

So, all the potential difference is across the coil, therefore the potential difference across the resistor will be zero:

V_R = V-V_L = 20 V-20 V=0

(b) On the coil: 0 V, on the resistor: 20 V

Here we are analyzing the situation several seconds later, which means that we are analyzing the situation for

t >> \tau

Since \tau is at the order of less than milliseconds.

Using eq.(1), we see that for t >> \tau, the exponential becomes zero, and therefore the potential difference across the coil is zero:

V_L = 0

Therefore, the potential difference across the resistor will be

V_R = V-V_L = 20 V- 0 = 20 V

(c) Yes

The two voltages will be equal when:

V_L = V_R (2)

Reminding also that the sum of the two voltages must be equal to the voltage of the battery:

V=V_L +V_R

And rewriting this equation,

V_R = V-V_L

Substituting into (2) we find

V_L = V-V_L\\2V_L = V\\V_L=\frac{V}{2}=10 V

So, the two voltages will be equal when they are both equal to 10 V.

(d) at t=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s

We said that the two voltages will be equal when

V_L=\frac{V}{2}

Using eq.(1), and this last equation, this means

V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} = \frac{V}{2}

And solving the equation for t, we find the time t at which the two voltages are equal:

e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}}=\frac{1}{2}\\-\frac{t}{\tau}=ln(1/2)\\t=-\tau ln(0.5)=-(8.33\cdot 10^{-4} s)ln(0.5)=5.77\cdot 10^{-4}s

(e-a) -19.2 V on the coil, 19.2 V on the resistor

Here we have that the current in the circuit is

I_0 = 3.20 A

The problem says this current is stable: this means that we are in a situation in which t>>\tau, so the coil has no longer influence on the circuit, which is operating as it is a normal circuit with only one resistor. Therefore, we can find the potential difference across the resistor using Ohm's law

V=I_0 R = (3.20 A)(6.0 \Omega)=19.2 V

Then the battery is removed from the circuit: this means that the coil will discharge through the resistor.

The voltage on the coil is given by

V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} (1)

which means that it is maximum at the moment when the battery is disconnected, when t=0:

V_L(0)=.V

And V this time is the voltage across the resistor, 19.2 V (because the coil is now connected to the resistor, not to the battery). So, the voltage across the coil will be -19.2 V, and the voltage across the resistor will be the same in magnitude, 19.2 V (since the coil and the resistor are connected to the same points in the circuit): however, the signs of the potential difference will be opposite.

(e-b) 0 V on both

After several seconds,

t>>\tau

If we use this approximation into the formula

V_L(t) = -V e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}} (1)

We find that

V_L = 0

And since now the resistor is directly connected to the coil, the voltage in the resistor will be the same as the coil, so 0 V. This means that the coil has completely discharged, and current is no longer flowing through the circuit.

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy depends on the velocity of the object squared. This means that when the velocity of an object doubles, its kinetic energy quadruples.

Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass g
djyliett [7]

Answer:

a) m = 69.0 kg

b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement

Explanation:

a) Let's use Newton's second law

         F = m a

         m = F / a

         m = 60.0 / 0.870

         m = 69.0 kg

b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v = M v '

         v ’= \frac{m}{M} \ v

so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.

One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.

Density: Two blocks, A and B, are put in a tank of water. Block A has a density of 1.21 g/cm³. Block B has a density of 1.37 g/c
stira [4]

Answer:

Block A

Explanation:

Block A will float higher in the water compared to the second Block.

The density of water is 1g/cm³.

According to the principle of floatation "an object that floats in a liquid will displace equal amount of fluid to the weight of the object".

A body will become more submerged in water if it has more density because density is the mass per volume of  body.

An object with a higher density than another will sink in the liquid of the one with lesser density.

  • Object A has lesser density and will float higher up and displace very little water.
  • Object B has higher density and will be more submerged.
