Answer: 96 m/s
Explanation:
Given information
Acceleration of rocket = 24 m/s2
Distance travelled by rocket = 192 meters.
To be calculated
Velocity of rocket at 192 meters = ?
Using 2nd equation of motion, the difference of square of final and initial velocity is equal to the 2 times the product of acceleration and distance.
v2 – u2 = 2as
v2 – 0 = 2 * 24 * 192 (intial velocity is 0, so u = 0)
v2 = 9216
v =
v = 96 m/s
I = V/Z
V = voltage, I = current, Z = impedance
First let's find the total impedance of the circuit.
The impedance of the resistor is:
= R
R = resistance
Given values:
R = 1200Ω
Plug in:
= 1200Ω
The impedance of the inductor is:
= j2πfL
f = source frequency, L = inductance
Given values:
f = 59Hz, L = 2.4H
Plug in:
= j2π(59)(2.4) = j889.7Ω
Add up the individual impedances to get the Z, and convert Z to polar form:
Z = +
Z = 1200 + j889.7
Z = 1494∠36.55°Ω
I = V/Z
Given values:
V = 170∠0°V (assume 0 initial phase)
Z = 1494∠36.55°Ω
I = 170∠0°/1494∠36.55°Ω
I = 0.1138∠-36.55°A
Round the magnitude of I to 2 significant figures and now you have your maximum current:
I = 0.11A
