Answer:

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object

Answer: Newton's second law states that acceleration of a particle is dependent on the forces acting upon the particle and the particle's mass.

Explanation: Newton's second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

An uncharged series RC circuit is to be connected across a battery. For each of the following changes, determine whether the tim

slavikrds [6]

a) Increase

b) Unchanged

c) Increase

Explanation:

The charge on a capacitor charging in a RC circuit connected to a battery follows the exponential equation:

$Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})$

where

$Q_0 = CV$ is the final charge stored in the capacitor, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage of the battery

t is the time

R is the resistance of the circuit

The capacitor reaches 90% of its final charge when

$Q(t)=0.90Q_0$

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find:

$0.90Q_0 = Q_0(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})\\0.90=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=0.10\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(0.10)\\t=-RCln(0.10)=2.30RC$

We see that if we double the RC constant, then $(RC)'=2(RC)$

So the time taken will double as well:

$t'=2.30(RC)'=2.30(2RC)=2(2.30RC)=2t$

So, the answer is "increase"

In this second part, the battery voltage is doubled.

According to the equation written in part a),

$Q_0 =CV$

this means also that the final charge stored on the capacitor will also double.

However, the equation that gives us the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its full charge is

$t=2.30 RC$

We see that this equation does not depend at all on the voltage of the battery.

Therefore, if the battery voltage is doubled, the final charge on the capacitor will double as well, but the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its charge will not change.

So the correct answer is

"unchanged"

In this case, a second resistor is added in series with the original resistor of the circuit.

We know that for two resistors in series, the total resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

$R=R_1+R_2$

Since each resistance is a positive value, this means that as we add new resistors, the total resistance of the circuit increases.

Therefore in this problem, if we add a resistor in series to the original circuit, this means that the total resistance of the circuit will increase.

The time taken for the capacitor to reach 90% of its final charge is still

$t=2.30 RC$

As we can see, this time is directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit, R: therefore, if we add a resistor in series, the resistance of the circuit will increase, and therefore this time will increase as well.

So the correct answer is

"increase"

A 1640 kg merry-go-round with a radius of 7.50 m accelerates from rest to a rate of 1.00 revolution per 8.00 s. Estimate the mer

son4ous [18]

Solution :

Given data :

Mass of the merry-go-round, m= 1640 kg

Radius of the merry-go-round, r = 7.50 m

Angular speed, $\omega = \frac{1}{8}$ rev/sec

$=\frac{2 \pi \times 7.5}{8}$ rad/sec

= 5.89 rad/sec

Therefore, force required,

$F=m.\omega^2.r$

$$$=1640 \times (5.89)^2 \times 7.5$

= 427126.9 N

Thus, the net work done for the acceleration is given by :

W = F x r

= 427126.9 x 7.5

= 3,203,451.75 J

The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.

<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>

It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

$V_x'=0.8c\\V=0.6c\\m=4*10^5kg$

Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

$KE=m_0c^2=\frac{mc^2}{1-(\frac{v_x^2}{c^2} )}$

So, to $V_x=(0.8+0.6)c-[\frac{0.6c*(0.8c)^2}{c^2}]=1.016$ find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame.
We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,
