When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c

ondenser. Suppose you have a discharging condenser and the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage (in volts per second). How many seconds does it take for the voltage to decrease by 90 %?

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = e^{kt}

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀ = V₀e^{-0.01t}

0.1V₀/V₀ = e^{-0.01t}

0.1 = e^{-0.01t}

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

A force of 10 N acts on an object with a mass of 10 kg. What is its acceleration? A. 1 m/s2 B. 10 m/s2 C. 2 m/s2 D. 5 m/s2
Akimi4 [234]

The acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Newton’s second law of motion, any external force acting on a body will be directly proportional to the mass of the body as well as acceleration exerted by the body. So, the net external force acting on any object will be equal to the product of mass of the object with acceleration exerted by the object. Thus,

                  Force = Mass \times Acceleration

So,

                 Acceleration=\frac{\text {Force}}{\text {Mass}}

As the force acting on the object is stated as 10 N and the mass of the object is given as 10 kg, then the acceleration will be

                  Acceleration =\frac{10 \mathrm{N}}{10 \mathrm{kg}}=1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

So, the acceleration exerted by the object of mass 10 kg is \mathbf{1} m / \boldsymbol{s}^{2}
