An L-C circuit containing an 82.0-mH inductor and a 1.60-nF capacitor oscillates with a maximum current of 0.800 A . Assuming th
ryzh [129]

Answer:

19.5 mJ

Explanation:

Assuming perfect components without resistance or losses, the circuit should oscillate indefinetly.

The circuit will have a natural pulsation of

w = \frac{1}{\sqrt{L * C}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{82e-3 * 1.6e-9}} = 87304 rad/s

f = \frac{w}{2\pi} = \frac{87304}{2\pi} = 13895 Hz

T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{13895} = 7.2 \mu s

So, by the time t = 2.4 ms, 333.33 cycles would have passed

\frac{2.4 ms}{7.2 \mu s} = \frac{2400 \mu s}{7.2 \mu s} = 333.33

Therefore it would be at one third after the beginning of the cycle. The circuit would be in an equivalent state as t = (7.2 us)/3 = 2.4us

At t=0 the capacitor is fully charged, so the voltage is maximum and the current is 0. The current will increase towards a maximum of 800 mA at t=T/4, then decreas to 0 at t=T/2, decrease to -800 mA at 3T/4 and go back to 0 at t=T following a sine wave.

The equation of this sine wave would be

I(t) = I0 * sin(w * t)

I(T/3) = 0.8 * sin(w * T/3)

Since w = 2π/T

w * T = 2π

I(T/3) = 0.8 * sin(2 \pi /3) = 0.8 * 0.866 = 0.69 A

The current stored in an inductor is

E = \frac{1}{2} * L * I^2

E = \frac{1}{2} * 82e-3 * 0.69^2 = 0.0195 J = 19.5 mJ

An 1120 kg car traveling at 17.2 m/s is brought to a stop while skidding 40m. Calculate the work done on the car by the friction
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Work = 165670.4 J = 165.67 KJ

Explanation:

First, we will find the deceleration of the car, using the 3rd equation of motion:

2as = v_{f}^2 - v_{i}^2\\

where,

a = deceleration = ?

s = skid distance = 40 m

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 17.2 m/s

Therefore,

2a(40\ m) = (0\ m/s)^2 - (17.2\ m/s)^2\\a = - 3.698\ m/s^2

the negative sign indicates deceleration here.

Now, we will calculate the braking force applied by the brakes on the car:

F = ma\\F = (1120\ kg)(-3.698\ m/s^2)\\F = - 4141.76\ N

the negative sign indicates braking force.

Now, we will calculate the work done using the magnitude of this force:

Work = |F|s\\Work = (4141.76\ N)(40\ m)\\

<u>Work = 165670.4 J = 165.67 KJ</u>

An ac series circuit contains a resistor of 15 ohms, an inductor of 11.5 mH and a variable capacitor. If the frequency of the ap
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

C) 20.23 μF

Explanation:

R = resistance of the resistor = 15 ohm

L = inductance of the inductor = 11.5 mH = 0.0115 H

f = resonance frequency achieved = frequency of applied voltage = 330 Hz

C = Capacitance of the capacitor

For resonance to be possible

2\pi fL = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}

2(3.14) (330) (0.0115) = \frac{1}{2 (3.14) (330) C}

C = 20.23 x 10⁻⁶ F

C = 20.23 μF

1. In an atom, an electron and a proton are separated by a distance of 1 x 10-8m. a) Find the force on the electron. b) Assuming
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

(a) 2.3 x 10^-12 N

(b) 1.6 x 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

q1 = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

q2 = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

r = 1 x 10^-8 m

(a) the electrostatic force is given by

F = K q1 x q2 / r^2

F = ( 9 x 10^9 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1.6 x 10^-19) / (1 x 10-^-8)^2

F = 2.3 x 10^-12 N

The force is attractive in nature because the nature of charge on electron and proton s opposite to each other.

(b) The electrostatic force is balanced by the centripetal force actig on the electron.

F = mv^2 / r

where, r be the radius of orbit and v be the velocity of electron in the orbit.

2.3 x 10^-12 = (9.1 x 10^-31 x v^2) / (1 x 10^-8)

v = 1.6 x 10^5 m/s
