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 wave is traveling at 241 m/s. It has a wavelength of 30.0 m. What is its frequency?
Feliz [49]

Answer:

A) 8.03Hz

Explanation:

f = V/λ

Where wavelength( λ )= 30m

Speed (V) =241m/S

f= 241/30=8.03Hz

slega [8]

Answer:

Part a)

v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s

Part b)

E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J

Explanation:

As per momentum conservation we know that there is no external force on this system so initial and final momentum must be same

So we will have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 + m_3v_3 = 0

(5 \times 10^{-27})(6 \times 10^6\hat j) + (8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6\hat i) + (3.6 \times 10^{-27}) v = 0

(30\hat j + 33.6\hat i)\times 10^6 + 3.6 v = 0

v = -(8.33\hat j + 9.33\hat i)\times 10^6 m/s

Part b)

By equation of kinetic energy we have

E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_3v_3^2

E = \frac{1}{2}(5 \times 10^{-27})(6\times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(8.4 \times 10^{-27})(4 \times 10^6)^2 + \frac{1}{2}(3.6 \times 10^{-27})(8.33^2 + 9.33^2) \times 10^{12}

E = 9\times 10^{-14} + 6.72 \times 10^{-14} + 2.82\times 10^{-13}

E = 4.4 \times 10^{-13} J
