A car accelerates from rest at 1.0 m/s2 for 20.0 second along a straight road. It then moves at a constant speed for half an hou

r and then decelerates uniformly to a stop in 30.0 s. Find the total distance covered by the car and the average velocity of the car for the entire trip.

Total distance = 36500 m

The average velocity = 19.73 m/s

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

vo=initial velocity=0(from rest)

a=acceleration= 1 m/s²

t₁ = 20 s

t₂ = 0.5 hr = 1800 s

t₃= 30 s

Required

Total distance

Solution

State 1 : acceleration

\tt d=vo.t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1\times 20^2\rightarrow vo=0\\\\d=200~m

\tt vt=vo+at\\\\vt=at\rightarrow vo=0\\\\vt=1\times 20\\\\vt=20~m/s

State 2 : constant speed

\tt d=v\times t\\\\d=20\times 1800\\\\d=36000~m

State 3 : deceleration

\tt vt=vo+at\rightarrow vt=0(stop)\\\\vo=-at\\\\20=-a.30~s\\\\a=-\dfrac{2}{3}m/s^2(negative=deceleration)

\tt d=vot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=20.30-\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2}{3}.30^2\\\\d=300~m

Total distance : state 1+ state 2+state 3

\tt 200 + 36000 + 300=36500~m

the average velocity = total distance : total time

\tt avg~velocity=\dfrac{36500}{20~s+1800~s+30~s}=19.73~m/s

series RC circuit is built with a 15 kΩ resistor and a parallel-plate capacitor with 18-cm-diameter electrodes. A 18 V, 36 kHz s
andre [41]

Answer:

d=1.84\ mm

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance</u>

A two parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of

\displaystyle C=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}

where

\epsilon_o=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}\ F/m

A = area of the plates = \pi r^2

d = separation of the plates

\displaystyle d=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{C}=\frac{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}{C}

We need to compute C. We'll use the circuit parameters for that. The reactance of a capacitor is given by

\displaystyle X_c=\frac{1}{wC}

where w is the angular frequency

w=2\pi f=2\pi \cdot 36000=226194.67\ rad/s

Solving for C

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{wX_c}

The reactance can be found knowing the total impedance of the circuit:

Z^2=R^2+X_c^2

Where R is the resistance, R=15 K\Omega=15000\Omega. Solving for Xc

X_c^2=Z^2-R^2

The magnitude of the impedance is computed as the ratio of the rms voltage and rms current

\displaystyle Z=\frac{V}{I}

The rms current is the peak current Ip divided by \sqrt{2}, thus

\displaystyle Z=\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}

I_p=0.65\ mA/1000=0.00065\ A

Now collect formulas

\displaystyle X_c^2=Z^2-R^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}\right)^2-R^2

Or, equivalently

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2V^2}{I_p^2}-R^2}

\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 18^2}{0.00065^2}-15000^2}

X_c=36176.34\ \Omega

The capacitance is now

\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{226194.67\cdot 36176.34}=1.22\cdot 10^{-10}\ F

The radius of the plates is

r=18\ cm/2=9 \ cm = 0.09 \ m

The separation between the plates is

\displaystyle d=\frac{8.85\cdot 10^{-12} \cdot \pi\cdot 0.09^2}{1.22\cdot 10^{-10}}

d=0.00184\ m

\boxed{d=1.84\ mm}

Direct current, DC, flows in a _________ direction while alternating current, AC, the direction of flow ___________. A) single,
kramer
The flow of Direct current (DC) is constant and flows in one direction. Most digital electronics make use of DC. Alternating current (AC) periodically flows in reverse and is mostly used to deliver power to houses, buildings and the like. With that alone, you can already rule out A, C and D. 

The answer would then be B. constant, periodically reversing.
