Answer:

Series circuit

Explanation:

By definition series circuit is a closed circuit in which the flow of electric current follows only one path.

In a simple electrical circuit (which is a series circuit) where electric cell is the source of power, each component is connected in such a way that there is only one pathway current flows from the positive terminal(+) round to the negative terminal(-) via the external circuit.

Current having only one pathway to flow means that when one of the components is removed, there will be no current flow.

Rocket thrust equation
= ( mass flow rate of fuel burnt ) X (Velocity of gas ejected ) + ( Exit Pressure - Outdoor Pressure ) X ( Area of exhaust )

In this case, we can assume the exit pressure = outdoor pressure and since area of exhaust is not given, it can be assumed to be negligible.

In this case, by Newton 3rd’s law,

Force exerted by gas on rocket
= Force exerted by rocket on gas
= (10kg/s) X (5 x 10^3 m/s)
= 5 x 10^4 N

An object with charge q = −6.00×10−9 C is placed in a region of uniform electric field and is released from rest at point A. Aft

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) 80 V

b) The magnitude of the electric field is 100 N/C and the direction of the electric field is from point B to point A where the electric field is toward the negative charge

Explanation:

Given :

We are given an object with charge q = -6.00 x I0^-9 C starts moving from the rest at point A, which means its kinetic energy at point A is zero ( $K_{A}$ = 0) to the point B at distance l = 0.500m where its kinetic energy is ( $K_{B}$ = 5.00 x 10^-7J) . Also, the electric potential of q at point A is VA = + 30.0 v.

Required :

(a) We are asked to find the electric potential VB

(b) We want to determine the magnitude and the direction of the electric field E.

Solution

(a) We are given the values for VA, $K_{B}$ and q so we want to find a relationship between these three parameters and VB to get the value of VB.

As we have two states, at points A and B , where the charge moved from A to B due to the applied electric field. The mechanical energy of the object is conservative during this travel, and we can apply eq(1) in this situation:

$K_{A} +U_{A} =K_{B} +U_{B}$ .........................................(1)

Where $K_{A}$ = 0 and the potential energy U of the charge is given by U = q V

where V is the electric potential. So, equation (1) will be in the form :

0+qVA= $K_{B}$ +qVB (Divide by q)

VA= $K_{B}$ /q + VB (solve for VB)

VB=VA- $K_{B}$ /q .......................................(2)

We get the relation between VB, VA and $K_{B}$ , now we can plug our values for VA, $K_{B}$ and q into equation (2) to get VB

VB=VA- $K_{B}$ /q

=30V-(5.00 x 10^-7J)/(-6.00 x I0^-9)

=80 V

(b) After we calculated VB we can use equation a to get the electric field E that applied to the charge q, where the potential difference between the two points equals the integration of the electric field multiplied by the distance l between the two points

VA-VB = $\int\limits^1_0 {E} \, dl$ ...................................(a)

$=E\int\limits^1_0 {} \, dl$

VA-VB=E $l$ (solve for E)

E= VA-VB/ $l$ ..................................(3)

Now let us plug our values for VA, Vs and l into equation (3) to get the electric field E

E= VA-VB/ $l$

=-100 N/C

The magnitude of the electric field is 100 N/C and the direction of the electric field is from point B to point A where the electric field is toward the negative charge

a projectile is fired in such away that its horizontal range is equal to three times its naximum height.what is the angle of pro

finlep [7]

Answer:

$\theta=53.13^o$

Explanation:

2-D Projectile Motion

In 2-D motion, there are two separate components of the acceleration, velocity and displacement. The horizontal component has zero acceleration, while the acceleration in the vertical direction is always the acceleration due to gravity. The basic formulas for this type of movement are

$V_x=V_{ox}=V_ocos\theta$

$V_y=V_{oy}-gt=V_osin\theta-gt$

$x=V_{ox}t$

$\displaystyle y=y_o+V_{oy}t-\frac{gt^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle x_{max}=\frac{2V_{ox}V_{oy}}{g}$

$\displaystyle y_{max}=\frac{V_{oy}^2}{2g}$

The projectile is fired in such a way that its horizontal range is equal to three times its maximum height. We need to find the angle \theta at which the object should be launched. The range is the maximum horizontal distance reached by the projectile, so we establish the base condition:

$x_{max}=3y_{max}$
