A. 50 ns
B. 75 ns
C. 125 ns
D. 150 ns
E. 225 ns 5

Answer:

The correct option is d

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The electric potential is $V = 3000 \ V$

The power is $P = 60 \ W$

The charge delivered is $q = 3nC = 3.0 *10^{-9} \ C$

Generally the power generated is mathematically represented as

$P = I V$

=> $I = \frac{P}{V }$

=> $I = \frac{60 }{3000 }$

=> $I = 0.02 \ A$

This current flow is mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{q -q_o}{\Delta t }$

Where $q_o$ is the charge delivered at t=0 s which is 0s

So

$0.02 = \frac{ (3.0 *10^{-9}) -0 }{t - 0 }$

$t = 1.50 *10^{-7 } \ s$

$t = 150 *10^{-9 } \ s$

Answer:

a_total = 14.022 m/s²

Explanation:

The total acceleration of a uniform circular motion is given by the following formula:

$a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_T^2}$ (1)

ac: centripetal acceleration

aT: tangential acceleration

Then, you first calculate the centripetal acceleration by using the following formula:

$a_c=r\omega^2$

r: radius of the circular trajectory = 2.0m

w: final angular velocity of the ball = 7.0 rad/s

$a_c=(2.0m)(7.0rad/s)^2=14.0\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you calculate the tangential acceleration. aT is calculate by using:

$a_T=r\alpha$ (2)

α: angular acceleration

The angular acceleration is:

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_o-\omega}{t}$

wo: initial angular velocity = 13 rad/s

t: time = 15 s

Then, you use the expression for the angular acceleration in the equation (1) and solve for aT:

$a_T=r(\frac{\omega_o-\omega}{t})=(2.0m)(\frac{7.0rad/s-13.0rad/s}{15s})=-0.8\frac{m}{s^2}$

Finally, you replace the values of aT and ac in the equation (1), in order to calculate the total acceleration:

$a=\sqrt{(14.0m/s^2)^2+(-0.8m/^2)^2}=14.022\frac{m}{s^2}$

The total acceleration of the ball is 14.022 m/s²

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h

raketka [301]

Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory ( $u_x$ ) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

$u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2$

Where, $u_x\ and\ u_y$ are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

$(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1$

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

$H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}$

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

$H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m$

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.
