Answer:

a. 165.5 V

b. 7.78 A

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

The RMS potential difference of an AC household outlet is 117 V. a) What is the maximum potential difference across a lamp connected to the outlet? b) If the RMS current through the lamp is 5.5 A, what is the maximun current through the lamp.

Solution

a. The maximum potential difference across the lamp V₀ = √2V₁ where V₁ = rms value of potential difference = 117 V

V₀ = √2V₁ = √2 × 117 V = 165.5 V

b. The maximum current through the lamp I₀ = √2I₁ where I₁ = rms value of current = 5.5 A

V₀ = √2V₁ = √2 × 5.5 A = 7.78 A

Two rigid rods are oriented parallel to each other and to the ground. The rods carry the same current in the same direction. The
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

220 A

Explanation:

The magnetic force on the floating rod due to the rod held close to the ground is F = BI₁L where B = magnetic field due to rod held close the ground = μ₀I₂/2πd where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, I₂ = current in rod close to ground and d = distance between both rods = 11 mm = 0.011 m. Also, I₁ = current in floating rod and L = length of rod = 1.1 m.

So, F = BI₁L

F = (μ₀I₂/2πd)I₁L

F = μ₀I₁I₂L/2πd

Given that the current in the rods are the same, I₁ = I₂ = I

So,

F = μ₀I²L/2πd

Now, the magnetic force on the floating rod equals its weight , W = mg where m = mass of rod = 0.10kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

So, F = W

μ₀I²L/2πd = mg

making I subject of the formula, we have

I² = 2πdmg/μ₀L

I = √(2πdmg/μ₀L)

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

I = √(2π × 0.011 m × 0.1 kg × 9.8 m/s²/[4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 1.1 m])

I = √(0.01078 kgm²/s²/[2 × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 1.1 m])

I = √(0.01078 kgm²/s²/[2.2 × 10⁻⁷ H])

I = √(0.0049 × 10⁷kgm²/s²H)

I = √(0.049 × 10⁶kgm²/s²H)

I = 0.22 × 10³ A

I = 220 A

After landing on an unfamiliar planet, a space explorer constructs a simple pendulum of length 54.0 cm. The explorer finds that
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

g = 11.2 m/s²

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the time period of the pendulum:

T = \frac{t}{n}

where,

T = Time period = ?

t = time taken = 135 s

n = no. of swings in given time = 98

Therefore,

T = \frac{135\ s}{98}

T = 1.38 s

Now, we utilize the second formula for the time period of the simple pendulum, given as follows:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

where,

l = length of pendulum = 54 cm = 0.54 m

g = acceleration due to gravity on the planet = ?

Therefore,

(1.38\ s)^2 = 4\pi^2(\frac{0.54\ m}{g} )\\\\g = \frac{4\pi^2(0.54\ m)}{(1.38\ s)^2}

<u>g = 11.2 m/s²</u>

At t = 0 a grinding wheel has an angular velocity of 24.0 rad/s. It has a constant angular acceleration of 30.0rad/s2 until a ci
kozerog [31]

Answer:

θ=108rad

t =10.29seconds

α=-8.17rad/s²

Explanation:

Given that

At t=0, Wo=24rad/sec

Constant angular acceleration =30rad/s²

At t=2, θ=432rad as it try to stop because the circuit break

Angular motion

W=Wo+αt

θ=Wot+1/2αt²

W²=Wo²+2αθ

We need to find θ between 0sec to 2sec when the wheel stop

a. θ=Wot+1/2αt²

θ=24×2+1/2×30×2²

θ=48+60

θ=108rad.

b. W=Wo+αt

W=24+30×2

W=84rad/s

This is the final angular velocity which is the initial angular velocity when the wheel starts to decelerate.

Wo=84rad/sec

W=0rad/s, because the wheel stop at θ=432rad

Using W²=Wo²+2αθ

0²=84²+2×α×432

-84²=864α

α=-8.17rad/s²

It is negative because it is decelerating

Now, time taken for the wheel to stop

W=Wo+αt

0=84-8.17t

-84=-8.17t

Then t =10.29seconds.

a. θ=108rad

b. t =10.29seconds

c. α=-8.17rad/s²
