Answer:

a) 23 m/s

Explanation:

  • Assuming no external forces acting during the collision, total momentum must be conserved, as follows:

       p_{o} = p_{f}  (1)

  • The initial momentum p₀, can be written as follows:

       p_{o} =  m_{1}  * v_{1o} + m_{2}* v_{2o} =   6.0 kg * 5.0 m/s + 2.0 kg * v_{2o}  (2)

  • The final momentum pf, can be written as follows:

        p_{f} = (m_{1} + m_{2} )* v_{f}  = 8.0 kg* (-2.0 m/s)  (3)

  • Since (2) and (3) are equal each other, we can solve for the only unknown that remains, v₂₀, as follows:

       v_{2o} = \frac{-6.0kg* 5m/s -8.0 kg*2.0m/s}{2.0kg}  = \frac{-46kg*m/s}{2.0kg} = -23.0 m/s  (4)

  • This means that the 2.0-kg object was moving at 23 m/s in a direction opposite to the 6.0-kg object, so its initial speed, before the collision, was 23.0 m/s.

1. The current in a wire is 0.72A. Calculate the charge that passes through the wire in; a. 4 s b. 60 s c. 180 s d. 7 s e. 0.5 s
Vlad [161]
Let current be I, charge be Q and time be t.
Here we are provided with,
I = 0.72A
t = 4s / 60s / 180s / 7s / 0.5s
We know,
I = Q/t

Case I
---------
When, t = 4s
0.72 = Q/4
Q = 0.72 * 4 = 2.88C

Case II
----------
When, t = 60s
0.72 = Q/60
Q = 0.72 * 60 = 43.2C

Case III
-----------
When, t = 180s
0.72 = Q/180
Q = 0.72 * 180 = 129.6C

Case IV
-----------
When, t = 7s
0.72 = Q/7
Q = 0.72 * 7 = 5.04C

Case V
----------
When, t = 0.5s
0.72 = Q/0.5
Q = 0.72 * 0.5 = 0.36C

Calculate the phase angle (in radians) for a circuit with a maximum voltage of 12 V and w-50 Hz. The voltage source is connected
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The phase angle is 0.0180 rad.

(c) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 12 V

Angular velocity = 50 Hz

Capacitance C= 20\times10^{-2}\ F

Inductance L=20\times10^{-3}\ H

Resistance R=  50\ Omega

We need to calculate the impedance

Using formula of impedance

z=\sqrt{R^2+(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C})^2}

z=\sqrt{50^2+(50\times20\times10^{-3}-\dfrac{1}{50\times20\times10^{-2}})^2}

z=50.00

We need to calculate the phase angle

Using formula of phase angle

\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{R}{z})

\theta=\cos^{-1}(\dfrac{50}{50.00})

\theta=0.0180\ rad

Hence, The phase angle is 0.0180 rad.
