Current is defined as the rate of charge flowing a point every second. Having a current of 1 Ampere signifies 1 Coulomb is flowing in a circuit every second. It is measured by the use of an ammeter which is positioned in series to the component to be measured. The current in the problem is calculated as follows:

I = 2.0 x 10^-4 C / 5.0 x 10^-5 s
<span>I = 4 A</span>

Q= I×t

Where Q is charge in Coulombs C,

I is current in Amperes A,

t is in seconds s.

The rate of current flow is defined as the charge passing through a point in the circuit per second.

Rearranging formula gives I= $\frac{Q}{t}$

⇒I = $\frac{2.0*10^-4}{5.0*10^-5}$ = 4 Amperes

∴ current flow = 4.0×10^0 A

solniwko [45]

Answer:

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration of a point on the rim of the disc is in two directions

1) tangential acceleration which is given as

$a_t = R\alpha$

2) Centripetal acceleration

$a_c = \omega^2 R$

here we know that

$\omega = \alpha t$

$a_c = (\alpha t)^2 R$

now we know that net linear acceleration is given as

$a = \sqrt{a_c^2 + a_t^2}$

so we have

$a = \sqrt{R^2\alpha^2 + R^2(\alpha t)^4}$

$a = R\alpha\sqrt{1 + \alpha^2t^4}$

So far in your life, you may have assumed that as you are sitting in your chair right now, you are not accelerating. However, th

Answer:

a) $a=33.73mm/s^{2}$

b) mg>N

c) $\%_{change}=0.343\%$

d) $a=24.07mm/s^{2}$

Explanation:

In order to solve part a) of the problem, we can start by drawing a free body diagram of the presented situation. (see attached picture).

In this case, we know the centripetal acceleration is given by the following formula:

$a_{c}=\omega ^{2}r$

where:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

we know the period of rotation of the earth is about 24 hours, so:

$T=24hr*\frac{3600s}{1hr}=86400s$

so we can now find the angular speed:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{86400s}$

$\omega=72.72x10^{-6} rad/s^{2}$

So the centripetal acceleration will be:

$a_{c} =(72.72x10^{-6} rad/s^{2})^{2}(6478x10^{3}m)$

which yields:

$a_{c}=33.73mm/s^{2}$

In order to answer part b, we must draw a free body diagram of us sitting on a chair. (See attached picture.)

So we can do a sum of forces in equilibrium:

$\sum F=0$

so we get that:

$N-mg+ma_{c} = 0$

and solve for the normal force:

$N=mg-ma_{c}$

In this case, we can clearly see that:

$mg>mg-ma_{c}$

therefore mg>N

This is because the centripetal acceleration is pulling us upwards, that will make the magnitude of the normal force smaller than the product of the mass times the acceleration of gravity.

So let's calculate our weight and normal force:

Let's say we weight a total of 60kg, so:

$mg=(60kg)(9.81m/s^{2})=588.6N$
