Answer:

33.4°C .

Explanation:

mass of bullet, m = 15 g = 0.015 kg

velocity of bullet, v = 1502 m/s

mass of wax, M = 2.5 kg

Initial temperature of wax, T1 = 31°C

Let T2 be the final temperature of wax.

Specific heat of wax, c = 0.7 cal/g°C = 0.7 x 1000 x 4 J/kg°C = 2800 J/kg°C

The kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into heat energy which is used to heat the wax.

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}= M \times c \times \left ( T_{2}-T_{1} \right )

0.5\times 0.015\times 1502 \times 1502 = 2.5 \times 2800 \times\left ( T_{2}-31 \right )

2.42 =\left ( T_{2}-31 \right )

T_{2}=33.4^{o}C

thus, the final temperature of wax is 33.4°C .

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge

A 4.50-kg wheel that is 34.5 cm in diametet rotates through an angle of 13.8 rad as it slows down uniformly from 22.0 rad/s to 1
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

\alpha =10.93radian/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given given the final angular velocity \omega _{final}=13.5rad/sec

And \omega _{initial}=22rad/sec

Displacement \Theta =13.8radian

We have to find the angular acceleration \alpha

According to law of motion \omega _{final}^2=\omega _{initial}^2+2\alpha \Theta

So 13.5^2=22^2+2\times \alpha \times 13.8

\alpha =-10.93radian/sec^2

In question we have tell about magnitude only so \alpha =10.93radian/sec^2
