Answer:

The current is increasing at a rate of 0.32 ampere per second.

Explanation:

The voltage of the resistor is modelled after Ohm's Law, which states that voltage is directly proportional to current:

V = i\cdot R (1)

Where:

V - Voltage, measured in volts.

i - Current, measured in amperes.

R - Resistance, measured in ohms.

An expression for the rate of change in voltage is found by Differential Calculus:

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{di}{dt}\cdot R +i\cdot \frac{dR}{dt}

\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{di}{dt}\cdot R + \frac{V}{R}\cdot \frac{dR}{dt} (2)

Where:

\frac{dV}{dt} - Rate of change in voltage, measured in volts per second.

\frac{di}{dt} - Rate of change in current, measured in amperes per second.

\frac{dR}{dt} - Rate of change in resistance, measured in ohms per second.

If we know that \frac{dV}{dt} = 0\,\frac{V}{s}, R = 5\,\Omega, V = 40\,\Omega and \frac{dR}{dt} = -0.2\,\frac{\Omega}{s}, then the rate of change in current is:

5\cdot \frac{di}{dt}-1.6 = 0 (3)

\frac{di}{dt} = 0.32\,\frac{A}{s}

The current is increasing at a rate of 0.32 ampere per second.

Set the initial bead height to 3.00 m. Click Play. Notice that the ball makes an entire loop. What is the minimum height require
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

h> 2R

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Before releasing the ball

       Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. In the highest part of the loop

       Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g (2R)

where R is the radius of the curl, we are considering the ball as a point body.

      I = m R²

      v = w R

we substitute

       Em_f = ½ m v² + ½ m R² (v/R) ² + 2 m g R

       em_f = m v² + 2 m g R

Energy is conserved

       Emo = Em_f

       mgh = m v² + 2m g R

       h = v² / g + 2R

 

The lowest velocity that the ball can have at the top of the loop is v> 0

      h> 2R

A block of ice with mass 5.50 kg is initially at rest on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A worker then applies a horizontal
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) 3.13 m/s

B) 5.34 N

C) W = 26.9 J

Explanation:

We are told that the position as a function of time is given by;

x(t) = αt² + βt³

Where;

α = 0.210 m/s² and β = 2.04×10^(−2) m/s³ = 0.0204 m/s³

Thus;

x(t) = 0.21t² + 0.0204t³

A) Velocity is gotten from the derivative of the displacement.

Thus;

v(t) = x'(t) = 2(0.21t) + 3(0.0204t²)

v(t) = 0.42t + 0.0612t²

v(4.5) = 0.42(4.5) + 0.0612(4.5)²

v(4.5) = 3.1293 m/s ≈ 3.13 m/s

B) acceleration is gotten from the derivative of the velocity

a(t) = v'(t) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612t)

a(4.5) = 0.42 + 2(0.0612 × 4.5)

a(4.5) = 0.9708 m/s²

Force = ma = 5.5 × 0.9708

F = 5.3394 N ≈ 5.34 N

C) Since no friction, work done is kinetic energy.

Thus;

W = ½mv²

W = ½ × 5.5 × 3.1293²

W = 26.9 J
