A 1.50-mF capacitor is connected to a North American electrical outlet (ΔVrms = 120 V, f = 60.0 Hz). Assuming the energy stored

in the capacitor is zero at t = 0, determine the magnitude of the current in the wires at t = 1/171s.

Answer:

96.10 A

Explanation:

The capacitor is connected to a voltage source defined by the expression,

V(t) = √2 × Vrms×sin2πft

Where V(t)=instantaneous voltage, Vrms= root mean square voltage value, f= frequency, t= time π=pi.

Vrms= 120 V, f= 60.0Hz, t= 1/171s, π= 3.143.

∴ V(t) = √2 × 120 × sin(2×3.143×60×t)

∴V(t) = 169.71 × sin(377.16t)............(1)

using capacitor's equation,

I(t)=C(dv/dt)...................(2)

Note: the differentiation of sin∅ = cos∅

∴ dv/dt=169.71×377.16×cos(377.16t)

  dv/dt = 64109.65× cos(377.16t)

  At time t=1/171s.

 ∴dv/dt=64109.65 × cos(377.16×1/171)

   dv/dt = 64109.65 ×cos(2.21)

   dv/dt = 64109.65 × 0.999

   dv/dt = 64045.54.

    I(t) = C(dv/dt)

   Where C= I.5 mF = 0.0015 F

   ∴ I(t) = 0.0015 × 64045.54

      I(t) = 96.07

      I(t) ≈ 96.10 A

You are driving at 50 miles per hour. If you decrease the time it takes you to travel 1 mile by 8 seconds, what is your new spee
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Since speed = distance/time;

time = distance/speed.

While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour

(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.

So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,

New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour

New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hope this Helps!!!

1600 AM broadcasts radio waves with wavelengths<br> of about 187.37 m. Convert this to miles.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The wavelength in miles is <u>0.1165 miles</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = \frac{1}{1609}\ miles

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.
