Answer:

Q1) Explain why increasing the mass of a car affects how the car rolls down a ramp

Ans1) Weight affects speed down the ramp but it's the mass that affects speed after a car leaves the ramp. Heavier cars have more momentum, so they travel further, given the same amount of friction

F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)

So the car’s mass affects the amount of force, changing how it would roll down a ramp, I think.

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 30.1: Inductors in Circuits. A circuit has a 1 V battery connected in series with a switch.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.0133A

Explanation:

Since we have two sections, for the Inductor region there would be a current $i_1$ . In the case of resistance 2, it will cross a current $i_2$

Defined this we proceed to obtain our equations,

For $i_1$ ,

$\frac{di_1}{dt}+i_1R_1 = V$

$I_1 = \frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})$

For $i_2$ ,

$I_2R_2 =V$

$I_2 = \frac{V}{R_2}$

The current in the entire battery is equivalent to,

$i_t = I_1+I_2$

$i_t = \frac{V}{R_2}+\frac{V}{R_1} (1-e^{-\frac{R_1t}{L}})$

Our values are,

$V=1V$

$R_1 = 95\Omega$

$L= 1.5*10^{-2}H$

$R_2 =360\Omega$

Replacing in the current for t= 0.4m/s

$i=\frac{1}{360}+\frac{1}{95}(1-e^{-\frac{95*0.4}{1.5*10^{-2}}})$

$i= 0.0133A$

$i_1 = 0.01052A$

The objects listed are placed at the top of a ramp and roll down to the bottom without slipping. Assuming that there is no air r

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Explanation:

For each object, the initial potential energy is converted to rotational energy and translational energy:

PE = RE + KE

mgh = ½ Iω² + ½ mv²

For the marble (a solid sphere), I = ⅖ mr².

For the basketball (a hollow sphere), I = ⅔ mr².

For the manhole cover (a solid cylinder), I = ½ mr².

For the wedding ring (a hollow cylinder), I = mr².

If we say k is the coefficient in each case:

mgh = ½ (kmr²) ω² + ½ mv²

For rolling without slipping, ωr = v:

mgh = ½ kmv² + ½ mv²

gh = ½ kv² + ½ v²

2gh = (k + 1) v²

v² = 2gh / (k + 1)

The smaller the value of k, the higher the velocity. Therefore:

marble > manhole cover > basketball > wedding ring

How do I solve this step by step? I’m really confused

LekaFEV [45]

Step-#1:

Ignore the wire on the right.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the left, 0.04m away, carrying 5.0A

of current upward.

Write it down.

Step #2:

Now, ignore the wire on the left.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the right, 0.04m away, carrying 8.0A

of current downward.

Write it down.

Step #3:

Take the two sets of magnitude and direction that you wrote down

and ADD them.

The total magnetic field at P is the SUM of (the field due to the left wire)

PLUS (the field due to the right wire).

So just calculate them separately, then addum up.

If the potential difference across a 12-ohm resistor is 6 volts, the current through the resistor is?

larisa86 [58]

Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the resistor and directly to the potential difference across it.

I = V/R = 6/12 = 0.5 A
