Can you overcharge a car battery with a charger

1 answer:

Nookie1986 [14]3 years ago

6 0

If you leave the charger connected continuously, even at a mere 2 amps, the battery eventually will die. Overcharging a battery causes excessive gassing — the electrolyte gets hot and both hydrogen and oxygen gas are generated. ... On sealed batteries, the buildup of gases could cause the battery to burst.

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

$E_1 = E_2$

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

$\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}$

now we will have

$\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}$

now square root both sides

$\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}$

now we have

$\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1$

so we have

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc

4vir4ik [10]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Cars A nad B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distance $D_{A}$ beyond the starting line at t = 0. The starting line is at x = 0. Car A travels at a constant speed $v_{A}$ . Car B starts at the starting line but has a better engine than Car A and thus Car B travels at a constant speed $v_{B}$ , which is greater than $v_{A}$ .

Part A: How long after Car B started the race will Car B catch up with Car A? Express the time in terms of given quantities.

Part B: How far from Car B's starting line will the cars be when Car B passes Car A? Express your answer in terms of known quantities.

Answer: Part A: $t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Part B: $x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Explanation: First, let's write an equation of motion for each car.

Both cars travels with constant speed. So, they are an uniform rectilinear motion and its position equation is of the form:

$x=x_{0}+vt$

where

$x_{0}$ is initial position

v is velocity

t is time

Car A started the race at a distance. So at t = 0, initial position is $D_{A}$ .

The equation will be:

$x_{A}=D_{A}+v_{A}t$

Car B started at the starting line. So, its equation is

$x_{B}=v_{B}t$

Part A: When they meet, both car are at "the same position":

$D_{A}+v_{A}t=v_{B}t$

$v_{B}t-v_{A}t=D_{A}$

$t(v_{B}-v_{A})=D_{A}$

$t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Car B meet with Car A after $t=\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$ units of time.

Part B: With the meeting time, we can determine the position they will be:

$x_{B}=v_{B}(\frac{D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}} )$

$x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$

Since Car B started at the starting line, the distance Car B will be when it passes Car A is $x_{B}=\frac{v_{B}D_{A}}{v_{B}-v_{A}}$ units of distance.

The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5 since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100 deg C = 20 deg C the requested temperature

What is the difference between a theory and a law?

algol [13]

A theory is a system of ideas that isn't exactly proven to be true fully. A law is a description of whatever scientific phenomena you're studying. All you need to know is a law describes, and a theory explains.
