A rock hits a window and stops in 0.15 seconds. The net force on the rock is 58N during the collision. What is the magnitude of

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The change in momentum is $\Delta p = 0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time taken for the stone to stop is $\Delta t = 0.15 \ seconds$

The net force on the rock is $F = 58 \ N$

The impulse of the rock can be mathematically represented as

$I = F * \Delta t$

Substituting values

$I = 58 * 0.15$

$I = 0.7\ kg * m * s^{-1}$

Now impulse is defined as the rate at which momentum change

Hence the change in momentum $\Delta p$ of the rock is equal to the impulse of the rock

So

$\Delta p = I = 0.7 \ kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$

Three identical resistors are connected in parallel to a battery. If the current of 12. A flows from the battery, how much curre

Doss [256]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

We are given that

$R_1=R_2=R_3=4\Omega$

I=12 A

We have to find the current flowing through each resistor.

We know that in parallel combination current flowing through different resistors are different and potential difference across each resistor is same.

Formula :

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}$

Using the formula

$\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$

$R=\frac{4}{3}\Omega$

$V=IR$

Substitute the values

$V=12\times \frac{4}{3}=16 V$

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_1}=\frac{16}{4}=4 A$

$I_1=I_2=I_3=4 A$

Hence, current flows through any one of the resistors is 4 A.

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is

$k = 0.903$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The time constant $\tau = 3$

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

$V = V_o (1 - e^{- \tau})$

Where $V_o$ is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

So at $\tau = 3$

$V = V_o (1 - e^{- 3})$

$V = 0.950213 V_o$

Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{1}{2 } * C * V ^2$

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now since capacitance is constant at $\tau = 3$

The energy stored can be evaluated at as

$V^2 = (0.950213 V_o )^2$

$V^2 = 0.903 V_o ^2$

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is

$k = 0.903$
