A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. What does th

e time constant for the circuit represent? A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. What does the time constant for the circuit represent? The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 25% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 63% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 99% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 37% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 75% of the maximum current. The time constant represents the time required for the current to reach 50% of the maximum current.

Answer:

The time constant τ = L/R represent the time requiered for the curent to get value of 63 % of its maximun value

Explanation:

In a circuit RL ( serie circuit with a resistor R and the inductor L ) when a voltage is applied the inductor will have a reaction, such reaction consist in the creation of an electromotive force which will prevent the current to get its maximun value. The time constant which in the case of an inductor is

τ = L/R ,  represent the time requiered for the crrent to be 63 % of its final value

How fast must a cyclist climb a 6.0º hill to maintain a power output of 0.25 hp? Neglect work done by friction, and assume the m
N76 [4]

Answer:  2.7m/s

Explanation:

cyclist fight only against the component of weight along the road (no friction) , that is:

fx =Wsin6° = mgsin6°=68*9.8*sin6°=69.6N downward

so the force that moves the bike over the hill will be equal to fx but upward

Now we now that the power P = 0.25hp= 186.5W  is:

P=f*v  so v = P/fx  = 186.5/69.6 = 2.7m/s

The primary coil of a transformer has 200 turns and the secondary coil has 800 turns. The power supplied to the primary coil is
Arisa [49]

Answer:

400 Watts

Explanation:

The main function of a voltage transformer is to change alternating current (ac) voltage from one voltage level to another. The relationship between the primary coil and secondary coil of a transformer is a function of ratio of the voltage or current and number of turns or loop. The ratio of the voltages between the two coils is equal to the ratio of number of loops in the two coils.

                  \frac{V_{out} }{V_{in}} = \frac{V_{s}}{p}

Varying the number of winding in the primary and secondary coils allows the transformer to step-up or step-down voltages while power is neither increased nor decreased in the primary or secondary except for some minor losses such as iron losses, copper losses, hysteresis losses, eddy current losses, stray loss, and dielectric losses. Therefore, the power in the primary and secondary are the same. The power supplied to the 20-ohm resistor terminal in the secondary coil will be 400 Watts.

If the pressure of a gas sample is quadrupled and the absolute temperature is doubled. True or False
Vanyuwa [196]

The given statement"If the pressure of a gas sample is quadrupled and the absolute temperature is doubled" is false.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As we know the direct relationship between Pressure and Temperature by the Gay-Lussac’s Law,

                     P_{1} T_{1}=P_{2} T_{2}

From this, we get,

                     \frac{P_{1}}{T_{2}}=\frac{P_{2}}{T_{1}}

                     T_{2}=\frac{P_{1} T_{1}}{P_{2}}

So, according to given statement, we have P_{2} = 4 P_{1}

Then from the above expression, we can find out the value of T_{2} when pressure increased by 4 times of initial pressure as,

                     T_{2}=\frac{P_{1} T_{1}}{4 P_{1}}

Hence, we get,

                      T_{1}=4 T_{2}

Hence, from the above expression we can say that as we increase the pressure four times, the temperature does not get doubled. So, the given statement in the question is false.

Which example does not describe a behavioral adaptation? A. A squirrel buries acorns to dig up and eat later. B. A honeybee does
chubhunter [2.5K]
The answer is B) A honeybee does a dance to tell the other bees where to find flowers.
Honeybees do not dance, first of all.
Second, that is not an adaptation. That is more like a message. An adaptation is changing to the environment to survive. This is not changing to the environment. They are just signaling the other bees.
A, C, and D are all adaptations. They change so that they can survive. They do a different method than usual.

The diagram shows a ball resting at the top of a hill.
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

Explanation:

Let be X the point where a ball rests at the top of a hill. By applying the Principle of Energy Conservation, the total energy in the physical system remains constant and gravitational potential energy at the top of the hill is equal to the sum of kinetic energy, a lower gravitational energy and dissipated work due to nonconservative forces (friction, dragging).

U_{grav, X} = U_{grav, Y} + K_{Y} + \Delta W_{X \rightarrow Y} = U_{grav,Z}+\Delta W_{X \rightarrow Z}

Conclusions are showed as follows:

a) The potential energy in the system is greatest at X.

b) The kinetic energy is the lowest at X and Z.

c) Total energy remains constant as the ball moves from X to Y.

Hence, the correct answer is A.
