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

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. Why is that not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings?

Marizza181 [45]

In mechanics, massless strings are often assumed. but this is not a good assumption when discussing waves on strings because the speed of a wave on a massless string would be infinite.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

It should be noted that waves simply means the dynamic disturbance of a quantity.

A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

a

$m = 0.169 \ kg$

b

$|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The spring constant is $k = 14 \ N/m$

The maximum extension of the spring is $A = 6.0 \ cm = 0.06 \ m$

The number of oscillation is $n = 30$

The time taken is $t = 20 \ s$

Generally the the angular speed of this oscillations is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

where T is the period which is mathematically represented as

$T = \frac{t}{n}$

substituting values

$T = \frac{20}{30 }$

$T = 0.667 \ s$

Thus

$w = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 0.667}$

$w = 9.421 \ rad/s$

this angular speed can also be represented mathematically as

$w = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

=> $m =\frac{k }{w^2}$

substituting values

$m =\frac{ 15 }{(9.421)^2}$

$m = 0.169 \ kg$

In SHM (simple harmonic motion )the equation for velocity is mathematically represented as

$v = - Awsin (wt)$

The velocity is maximum when $wt = \(90^o) \ or \ 1.5708\ rad$

$v_{max} = - A* w$

=> $|v_{max} |= A* w$

=> $|v_{max} |= 0.06 * 9.421$

=> $|v_{max} |= 0.5653 \ m/s$
