Physics

MissTica3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power of the toaster  = 600W

Voltage  = 120V

Unknown:

Current = ?

Resistance = ?

Solution:

The power in the circuit is related to resistance and current using the expression below;

       P = IV  

       P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

P is the power

I is the current

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

    To find the current;

        I = \frac{P}{V}   = \frac{600}{120}  = 5A

     Now, resistance;

       V²   = PR

       R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}   = \frac{120^{2} }{600}  = 24ohms

A 2.40 cm × 2.40 cm square loop of wire with resistance 1.20×10−2 Ω has one edge parallel to a long straight wire. The near edge
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

current in loops is 52.73 μA

Explanation:

given data

side of square a = b  = 2.40 cm = 0.024 m

resistance R = 1.20×10^−2 Ω

edge of the loop c  = 1.20 cm = 0.012 m

rate of current = 120 A/s

to find out

current in the loop

solution

we know current formula that is

current = voltage / resistance    .................a

so current = 1/R × d∅/dt

and we know here that

flux ∅ = ( μ×I×b / 2π ) × ln (a+c/c)    ...............b

so

d∅/dt = ( μ×b / 2π ) × ln (a+c/c) × dI/dt       ...........c

so from equation a we get here current

current = ( μ×b / 2πR ) × ln (a+c/c) × dI/dt

current = ( 4π×10^{-7}×0.024 / 2π(1.20×10^{-2}) × ln (0.024 + 0.012/0.012) × 120

solve it and we get current that is

current = 4 ×10^{-7}× 1.09861 × 120

current = 52.73 ×10^{-6}  A

so here current in loops is 52.73 μA

Calculate the linear acceleration (in m/s2) of a car, the 0.310 m radius tires of which have an angular acceleration of 15.0 rad
love history [14]

Answer:

a) The linear acceleration of the car is 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, b) The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

Explanation:

a) A tire experiments a general plane motion, which is the sum of rotation and translation. The linear acceleration experimented by the car corresponds to the linear acceleration at the center of the tire with respect to the point of contact between tire and ground, whose magnitude is described by the following formula measured in meters per square second:

\| \vec a \| = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2} + a_{t}^{2}}

Where:

a_{r} - Magnitude of the radial acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

a_{t} - Magnitude of the tangent acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Let suppose that tire is moving on a horizontal ground, since radius of curvature is too big, then radial acceleration tends to be zero. So that:

\| \vec a \| = a_{t}

\| \vec a \| = r \cdot \alpha

Where:

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

r - Radius of rotation (Radius of a tire), measured in meters.

Given that \alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} and r = 0.31\,m. The linear acceleration experimented by the car is:

\| \vec a \| = (0.31\,m)\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)

\| \vec a \| = 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The linear acceleration of the car is 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}.

b) Assuming that angular acceleration is constant, the following kinematic equation is used:

\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}

Where:

\theta - Final angular position, measured in radians.

\theta_{o} - Initial angular position, measured in radians.

\omega_{o} - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

\alpha - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If \theta_{o} = 0\,rad, \omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}, \alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}, the final angular position is:

\theta = 0\,rad + \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s)^{2}

\theta = 46.875\,rad

Let convert this outcome into revolutions: (1 revolution is equal to 2π radians)

\theta = 7.46\,rev

The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

Describe the composition of humus and why it is an effective organic fertilizer
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

soil additive

Explanation:

Soil Additive

The three main components of humus are fulvic acid, humic acid and humin. The spongy nature of humus helps it to trap and hold water, this particular property also helps to aerate the soil as humus expands and contracts with available water.

A force F of magnitude 2x^3 is applied to stop a particle moving with an initial velocity of v0. The particle travels from x=0 t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

F=2x³

Work is given as

The range of x is from x=0 to x=D

W=-∫f(x)dx

Then,

W=-∫2x³dx from x=0 to x=D

W=- 2x⁴/4 from x=0 to x=D

W=-2(D⁴/4-0/4)

W=-D⁴/2

W=1/2D⁴

The correct answer is F
