Paul’s 10 kg baby sister Susan sits on a mat. Paul pulls the mat across the floor using a rope that is angled 30° above the floo

r. The tension is a constant 30 N and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.20. Use work and energy to find Susan’s speed after being pulled 3.0 m.

Answer:

The speed of Susan is 2.37 m/s

Explanation:

To visualize better this problem, we need to draw a free body diagram.

the work is defined as:

$W=F*d*cos(\theta)$

here we have the work done by Paul and the friction force, so:

$W_p=F_p*d*cos(0)\\F_p=30N*cos(30^o)=26N\\W_p=26*3*(1)=78J$

$W_f=F_f*d*cos(180)\\F_f=\µ*(10*9.8-30N*sin(30^o))=16.6N\\W_p=16.6*3*(-1)=50J$

Now the change of energy is:

$W_p-W_f=\frac{1}{2}m*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(78J-50J)}{10kg}}\\v=2.37m/s$

The secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter. The turns ratio of t

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The power consumed by the air filter is 9.936 watts

Explanation:

It is given that, the secondary coil of a step-up transformer provides the voltage that operates an electrostatic air filter.

Turn ratio of the transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{46}{1}$

Voltage of primary coil, $V_p=120\ V$

Current in the secondary coil, $I_s=1.8\times 10^{-3}\ A$

The power consumed by the air filter is :

$P_s=I_s\times V_s$ ...........(1)

For a transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}$

So, $P_s=I_s\times (\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})\times V_p$

$P_s=1.8\times 10^{-3}\times (\dfrac{46}{1})\times 120$

$P_s=9.936\ Watts$

So, the power consumed by the air filter is 9.936 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = $X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL$

where

R = resistance

$X_{L} = Inductive Reactance$

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}$

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

$Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}$

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

$\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}$

$\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}$

${R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})$

${R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})$

Solving the above eqn:

$X_{C} = 4R$
