Answer:
41°
Explanation:
Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top
½ mv² = mgh
½ v² = gh
h = v²/(2g)
h = (2.4 m/s)² / (2 × 9.8 m/s²)
h = 0.294 m
The pendulum rises to a height of above the bottom. To determine the angle, we need to use trigonometry (see attached diagram).
L − h = L cos θ
cos θ = (L − h) / L
cos θ = (1.2 − 0.294) / 1.2
θ = 41.0°
Rounded to two significant figures, the pendulum makes a maximum angle of 41° with the vertical.
Answer:
a) the required time is 0.6283 μs
b) the inductor current is 0.5 mA
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
The capacitor voltage has its maximum value of 25 V at t = 0
i.e V = V₀ = 25 V
we determine the angular velocity;
ω = 1 / √( LC )
ω = 1 / √( ( 20 × 10⁻³ H ) × ( 8.0 × 10⁻¹² F) )
ω = 1 / √( 1.6 × 10⁻¹³ )
ω = 1 / 0.0000004
ω = 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹
a) How much time does it take until the capacitor is fully discharged for the first time?
V = V₀sin( ωt )
we substitute
25V = 25V × sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹ × t )
25V = 25V × sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ s⁻¹ × t )
divide both sides by 25 V
sin( 2.5 × 10⁶ × t ) = 1
( 2.5 × 10⁶ × t ) = π/2
t = 1.570796 / (2.5 × 10⁶)
t = 0.6283 × 10⁻⁶ s
t = 0.6283 μs
Therefore, the required time is 0.6283 μs
b) What is the inductor current at that time?
(t) = V₀√(C/L) sin(ωt)
{ sin(ωt) = 1 )
(t) = V₀√(C/L)
we substitute
(t) = 25V × √( ( 8.0 × 10⁻¹² F ) / ( 20 × 10⁻³ H ) )
(t) = 25 × 0.00002
(t) = 0.0005 A
(t) = 0.5 mA
Therefore, the inductor current is 0.5 mA
