A student builds a rocket-propelled cart for a science project. Its acceleration is not quite high enough to win a prize, so he

uses a larger rocket engine that provides 39% more thrust, although doing so increases the mass of the cart by 13%. By what percentage does the cart's acceleration increase?

Answer:

Explanation:

a = F / m

where a is acceleration , F is thrust and m is mass

taking log and differentiating

da / a = dF / F - dm / m

(da / a)x 100 = (dF / F)x100 - (dm / m) x100

percentage increase in a = percentage increase in F - percentage increase in m

= percentage increase in acceleration a   = 39 - 13 = 26 %

required increase = 26 %.

To practice problem-solving strategy 26.1 resistors in series and parallel. two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source
hichkok12 [17]
Emf e = 11
r 1 = 3.0
r 2 = 3.0
r 3 = ?

The two in parallel are equivalent to 3 • 3/6 = 1.5 Ω 
To have 2.4 volts across them, the current is I = 2.4/1.5 = 1.6 amps. and the unknown R = (11–2.4) / 1.6 = 5.375 Ω or 5.4 Ω

A spherical drop of water carrying a charge of 43 pC has a potential of 540 V at its surface (with V = 0 at infinity). (a) What
almond37 [142]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge on a spherical drop of water is 43 pC

The potential at its surface is 540 V  

(a) The electric potential on the surface is given by :

V=\dfrac{kq}{r}

r is the radius of the drop

r=\dfrac{kq}{V}\\\\r=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 43\times 10^{-12}}{540}\\\\r=7.17\times 10^{-4}\ m

(b) Let R is the radius of the spherical drop, when two such drops of the same charge and radius combine to form a single spherical drop. ATQ,

\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3+\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3\\\\2r^3=R^3\\\\R=2^{1/3} r

Now the charge on the new drop is 2q. New potential is given by :

V=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 43\times 10^{-12}\times 2}{2^{1/3}\times 7.17\times 10^{-4}}\\\\V=856.79\ V

Hence, the radius of the drop is 7.17\times 10^{-4}\ m and the potential at the surface of the new drop is 856.79 V.
