Explain the following defects of a simple electric cell:

Physics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

The New York Wheel is the world's largest Ferris wheel. It's 183 meters in diameter and rotates once every 37.3 min.
bagirrra123 [75]
The radius of the Ferris wheel is r = 83/2 = 91.5 m.

The angular velocity is
ω = (2π rad)/(37.3*60 s) = 2.8075 rad/s
The tangential velocity is
v = rω = 0.2569 m/s

The arc length traveled in 8.6 min (= 8.6*60 s = 516 s) is
s = (91.5 m)*(2.8075 rad/s)*(516 s) = 132.553 m
The central angle swept is
θ = 132.553/91.5 = 1.4487 rad

From the vector diagram, the change in velocity is (from the Law of Cosines)
Δv² = v²(1 - 2 cosФ)
where Ф = Π - 1.4487 = 1.6929 rad
Δv² = 0.2569²[1 - 2*(-0.1218)] = 0.0821
Δv = 0.2865 m/s

The acceleration is
a₁ = (0.2865 m/s)/(516 s) = 5.6 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

The actual centripetal acceleration is directed toward the center of the wheel, and its value is
a = v²/r = 0.2569²/91.5 = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

Answer: 
a = 7.2 x 10⁻⁴ m/s², the centripetal acceleration acting toward the center of the wheel.
The magnitude of a₁ is 5.6 x 10⁻⁴ m/s², but it is not directed toward the center of the wheel.

Calculate the average velocity of a motor cycle that travels 72km/hr in<br> 20 seconds
olchik [2.2K]
Velocity =displacement
Change in time
D=72km/hr
Time=20s
But the S.I unit of velocity is m/s so you woul have to change 72km/hr to m/s

Changing 72km to m

1 kilometer=1000meters
Then, 72 kilometers =?

72•1000/1
=72000m

Changing 72hours to seconds

If 1 hour = 3600 seconds
Then 72 hours=?

72•3600/1

=259200 seconds


Velocity =displacement
Change in time

V= 72,000
259,2005
=0.028m/s

A solid sphere of radius 40.0cm has a total positive charge of 26.0μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate the
Rudiy27

The magnitude of the electric field for 60 cm is 6.49 × 10^5 N/C

R(radius of the solid sphere)=(60cm)( 1m /100cm)=0.6m

Q\;(\text{total charge of the solid sphere})=(26\;\mathrm{\mu C})\left(\dfrac{1\;\mathrm{C}}{10^6\;\mathrm{\mu C}} \right)={26\times 10^{-6}\;\mathrm{C}}

Since the Gaussian sphere of radius r>R encloses all the charge of the sphere similar to the situation in part (c), we can use Equation (6) to find the magnitude of the electric field:

E=\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_0 r^2}

Substitute numerical values:

E&=\dfrac{24\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi (8.8542\times 10^{-12})(0.6)}\\ &={6.49\times 10^5\;\mathrm{N/C}\;\text{directed radially outward}}}

The spherical Gaussian surface is chosen so that it is concentric with the charge distribution.

As an example, consider a charged spherical shell S of negligible thickness, with a uniformly distributed charge Q and radius R. We can use Gauss's law to find the magnitude of the resultant electric field E at a distance r from the center of the charged shell. It is immediately apparent that for a spherical Gaussian surface of radius r < R the enclosed charge is zero: hence the net flux is zero and the magnitude of the electric field on the Gaussian surface is also 0 (by letting QA = 0 in Gauss's law, where QA is the charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface).
