Acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, and t is the time.

This formula on a velocity time graph represents the slope of the graph.

Answer: Hello there!

in this case, you have a graph of velocity vs time, then in this graph is represented the function v(t).

The acceleration is defined as the integral with respect to the time of the velocity v(t), then we could calculate the mean acceleration between two times in a next way:

$a = \frac{v(t2) - v(t1))}{t2 -t1}$

this is the slope between the times t2 and t1, where t2>t1 and V(t2) is the velocity at the time t2 (the final velocity) and v(t1) is the velocity at the time t1 (the initial velocity). In this case, a is the mean acceleration between these times.

Estimate the number of times the earth will rotate on its axis during a human’s lifetime

Fudgin [204]

Here we have to calculate the number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the entire life time of a human being.

The average human life is 50 years .

Each year is 365.5 days

Hence $50 years =50 *365.5 days$

=18,275 days

The earth rotates around its own axis in 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 second which is approximately equal to 24 hours or one days.

Hence one rotation takes one days.

⇒18,275 days =18,275 rotations

Hence the total number of rotations made by earth around its own axis in the life time of a average human life time will be 18,275 times

You charge an initially uncharged 89.9-mf capacitor through a 30.5-ω resistor by means of a 9.00-v battery having negligible int

blsea [12.9K]

1) The differential equation that models the RC circuit is :

(d/dt)V_capacitor + (V_capacitor/RC) = (V_source/RC)

Where the time constant of the circuit is defined by the product of R*C

Time constant = T = R*C = (30.5 ohms) * (89.9-mf) = 2.742 s

2) Charge of the capacitor 1.57 time constants

1.57*(2.742) = 4.3048 s

The solution of the differential equation is

V_capac (t) = (V_capac(0) - V_capac(∞))e ^(-t /T) + V_capac(∞)

Since the capacitor is initially uncharged V_capac(0) = 0

And the maximun Voltage the capacitor will have in this configuration is the voltage of the battery V_capac(∞) = 9V

This means,

V_capac (t) = (-9V)e ^(-t /T) + 9V

The charge in a capacitor is defined as Q = C*V

Where C is the capacitance and V is the Voltage across

V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /T) + 9V

V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /2.742 s) + 9V

V_capac (4.3048 s) = (-9V)e ^(-4.3048 s /2.742 s) + 9V = -1.87V +9V

V_capac (4.3048 s) = 7.1275 V

Q (4.3048 s) = 89.9mF*(7.1275V) = 0.6407 C

3) The charge after a very long time refers to the maximum charge the capacitor will hold in this circuit. This occurs when the voltage accross its terminals is equal to the voltage of the battery = 9V

Q (∞) = 89.9mF*(9V) = 0.8091 C

A slender rod is 90.0 cm long and has mass 0.120 kg. A small 0.0200 kg sphere is welded to one end of the rod, and a small 0.080

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Speed of 0.08 kg mass when it will reach to the bottom position is 1.94 m/s

Explanation:

When rod is released from rest then due to unbalanced torque about the hinge the system will rotate

Now moment of inertia of the system is given as

$I = \frac{ML^2}{12} + \frac{m_1L^2}{4} + \frac{m_2L^2}{4}$
