A yacht is pushed along at a constant velocity by the wind. The wind force is 180N at an angle of 25 degrees to the direction of

the of the motion of the yacht. By resolving the wind force parallel and perpendicular to the direction of motion, determine the component of the wind force in the direction of motion.

elena-s [515]

Kinetic energy. thermal energy (a low form of energy ) is a form of kinetic energy as it is produced as a result of motion of particles either if they vibrate at their position or they move along longer paths. Motion produces friction or resistance which leads to excitation and thus the heat is produced. The higher the motion of the particles, the higher would be the thermal energy.

Testing shows that a sample of wood from an artifact contains 25% of the

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The artifact is 11,460 years old.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730 years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.

So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half

Initially there will be 100% of the sample so

after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent

Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.

after next 5730 years the sample reduces into 25% percent

So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%

That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu

Ronch [10]

Answer:

$i_2=3.61\ A$

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

$q, q_1, q_2$ = charge of the capacitor in any time $t, t_1, t_2$

$q_o$ = initial charge of the capacitor

$\omega$ =angular frequency of the circuit

$i, i_1, i_2$ = current through the circuit in any time $t, t_1, t_2$

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

$q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )$

The current is the derivative of the charge

$\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).$

We are given

$q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}$

It means that

$q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]$

$i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]$

From eq 1:

$\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}$

From eq 2:

$\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}$

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

$sin^2x+cos^2x=1$

$\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1$

Operating

$\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2$

Solving for $q_o$

$\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}$

Now we know the value of $q_0$ , we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time $t_2$ , and solve for $i_2$

$\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2$

Solving for $i_2$

$\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}$

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

$\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz$

$w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s$

$\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}$

$q_0=0.01166\ c$

Finally

$\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}$

$i_2=5\ A$
