Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.

1 answer:

5 0

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d

OleMash [197]

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Assuming that the circuit is in the steady state, what is the total energy stored in the two capacitors? j

Neporo4naja [7]

The total energy stored is the sum of the energy stored in the capacitors. If the capacitors are series connected capacitors, then the charging current is the same for both capacitors. This means that each capacitor stores the same energy and the stored energy is two times the energy of any of the capacitors.

At takeoff, a commercial jet has a speed of 72 m/s. Its tires have a diameter of 0.89 m. Part (a) At how many rev/min are the ti

34kurt

Answer:

a) Revolutions per minute = 2.33

b) Centripetal acceleration = 11649.44 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Angular velocity is the ratio of linear velocity and radius.

Here linear velocity = 72 m/s

Radius, r = 0.89 x 0. 5 = 0.445 m

Angular velocity

$\omega =\frac{72}{0.445}=161.8rad/s$

Frequency

$f=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\times \pi}{161.8}=0.0388rev/s=2.33rev/min$

Revolutions per minute = 2.33

b) Centripetal acceleration

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

Here linear velocity = 72 m/s

Radius, r = 0.445 m

Substituting

$a=\frac{72^2}{0.445}=11649.44m/s^2$

Centripetal acceleration = 11649.44m/s²
