As you brake your bicycle, your velocity changes from 20 m/s east to 10 m/s east in 5 seconds. What’s your acceleration?

Hello!

$\large\boxed{-2m/s^{2} }$

Find the acceleration using the formula a = (vf - vi) / t where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

t = time

Plug in the points above:

vf = +10 m/s

vi = +20 m/s

t = 5 sec

(10 - 20) / 5 = -10 / 5 = -2 m/s²

Starting from zero, the electric current takes 2 seconds to reach half its maximum possible value in an RL circuit with a resist

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

time=4s

Explanation:

we know that in a RL circuit with a resistance R, an inductance L and a battery of emf E, the current (i) will vary in following fashion

$i(t)=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$ , where $i$ max= $\frac{E}{R}$

Given that, at i(2)= $\frac{imax}{2} =\frac{E}{2R}$

⇒ $\frac{E}{2R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}})$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}=1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}=e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒ $log(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $log(2)=\frac{2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}$

Now substitute $i(t)=\frac{3}{4}imax=\frac{3E}{4R}$

⇒ $\frac{3E}{4R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$

⇒ $\frac{3}{4}=1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{4}=e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒ $log(\frac{1}{4})=\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $log(4)=\frac{t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $t=log4\frac{L}{R}$

now subs. $\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}$

⇒ $t=log4\frac{2}{log2}$

also $log4=log2^{2}=2log2$

⇒ $t=2log2\frac{2}{log2}$

⇒ $t=4$

Using Ohm’s Law, explain how resistance changes in relation to current, assuming that voltage remains constant.

Cerrena [4.2K]

V=IR so voltage is directly proportional to current. So for a given resistance increasing the voltage will result in a high current as well. This is because resistance is proportional to the voltage over the current. Ex: I=V/R
Hope this helped. THANKYOU for asking. <span />
