Answer:

The average net force on the truck is 375 Newtons.

Explanation:

Using Newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have :

$v^{2} - u^{2} = 2$ ×a×s

where, v = final velocity = 25 m/s

u = initial velocity = 20 m/s

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled = 300 m

Using these values in the above equation, we get acceleration = 0.375 m/ $s^{2}$

Using Newton's second law, we have:

F=m×a

where m = mass = 1000 kg

a= acceleration = 0.375 m/ $s^{2}$

Putting values we have F=375 N

An L-R-C series circuit, R = 160 Ω , L = 0.790 H , and C = 1.30×10−2 μF . The source has a voltage amplitude of 140 V and a freq

wolverine [178]

Answer: a) 1 b) 61 W c) 61 W

Explanation:

a) The Power Factor (also known as cos φ), is defined by the difference in phase between current and voltage, in a RLC series circuit, and is expressed as follows:

cos φ = R / Z = R / $\sqrt{(R)^{2} + (Xl -Xc)^{2} }$

In resonance, XL =XC, so the circuit behaves like it were purely resistive, so Z=R.

Replacing in the expression for power factor, we have:

cos φ = R/Z = R/R = 1

This means that in resonance, current and voltage are in phase each other.

b) The average power delivered by the source, in resonance, is simply the power dissipated at the resistance R, as follows:

Pavg = V² rms / R = V₀² / √2 / R = 61 W

c) If the circuit remains in resonance, the average power , which does not depends on frequency provided this condition remains, keeps the same, i.e. , 61 W.

What is an ideal diode? a. The ideal diode acts as an open circuit for forward currents and as a short circuit with reverse volt

Serhud [2]

Answer:

d. The ideal diode acts as a short circuit for forward currents and as an open circuit with reverse voltage applied.

Explanation:

Ideal diode acts like an ideal conductor. In case of forward voltage it acts like an ideal conductor. However when it is reverse biased then it behaves like an ideal insulator. You can understand it bu considering a switch. When the voltage is forward then ideal diode acts like a closed switch. When the voltage is reverse biased then ideal diode behaves like an open switch.

That is why we can say that the ideal diode acts as a short circuit (higher conduction) for forward currents and as an open circuit ( zero conduction) with reverse voltage applied.

A block of wood measuring 2.75 cm x 4.80 cm x 7.50 cm has a mass of 84.0 g. will the block of wood sink or float in water?

KIM [24]

The volume of the block of wood is given by length × width ×height
= 2.75 × 4.80 × 7.5
= 99 cm³
Density is given by mass/volume
Thus = 84.0 g/ 99 cm³
= 0.848 g/cm³
Hence; since the block is less dense than water (1 g/cm³) it will float
