Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

Action force and Reaction force

Explanation:

The action force which is the balanced rock pushing down due to gravity and the reaction force pushing the equal amount of force. These two things are stated in Newtons third law, where he states that "Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first." Also, he states that "all forces acts in pairs," meaning that every force exerted, there is an opposite force on the first.

Determine the inductive reactance for a 50 mH inductor that is across a 15 volt, 400 Hz source.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Inductive reactance is 125.7 Ω

Explanation:

It is given that,

Inductance, L=50\ mH=0.05\ H

Voltage source, V = 15 volt

Frequency, f = 400 Hz

The inductive reactance of the circuit is equivalent to the impedance. It opposes the flow of electric current throughout the circuit. It is given by :

X_L=2\pi fL

X_L=2\pi \times 400\ Hz\times 0.05\ H

X_L=125.66\ \Omega

X_L=125.7\ \Omega

So, the inductive reactance is 125.7 Ω. Hence, this is the required solution.

A block of mass 0.221 kg is placed on top of a light, vertical spring of force constant 5365 N/m and pushed downward so that the
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 0.221 kg

Spring constant k = 5365 N/m

Distance x = 0.097 m

We need to calculate the height

Using stored energy in spring

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2...(I)

Using gravitational potential energy

U' =mgh....(II)

Using energy of conservation

E_{i}=E_{f}

U_{i}+U'_{i}=U_{f}+U'_{f}

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2+0=0+mgh

h=\dfrac{kx^2}{2mg}

Where, k = spring constant

m = mass of the block

x = distance

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value in the equation

h=\dfrac{5365\times(0.097)^2}{2\times0.221\times9.8}

h=11.653\ m

Hence, The maximum height above the point of release is 11.653 m.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain
Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

Suppose we measure the energy stored in some inductor to be E when there is a current I running through it. If I double the curr
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).

Explanation:

The coil or inductor is a passive component made of an insulated wire that stores energy in the form of a magnetic field due to its form of coiled turns of wire, through a phenomenon called self-induction. In other words, inductors store energy in the form of a magnetic field. The energy stored in the space where there is a magnetic field in the inductor is:

E=\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}

where E is Energy [J], L is Inductance [H] and I is Current [A].

If you double the current in the inductor, then the new value of the current is I'= 2*I. So replacing the new total energy is:

E'=\frac{1}{2} *L*I'^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*(2*I)^{2}=\frac{1}{2} *L*4*I^{2}=4*\frac{1}{2} *L*I^{2}

Then:

E'=4*E

<em><u>If I double the current in the inductor, the new total energy will become 4E (option f).</u></em>
