A square wave has amplitude 0 V for the low voltage and 4 V for the high voltage. Calculate the average voltage by integrating o

ver one period of the waveform. Hint: the equation for a square wave will be a piecewise function and it will be convenient to start the integration where the voltage changes; for example in this problem we could define that during the first half of the period the voltage is 0 V and for the second half of the period the voltage is 4 V

Answer:

V_{average} = $\frac{1}{2} V_o$ , V_{average} = 2 V

Explanation:

he average or effective voltage of a wave is the value of the wave in a period

V_average = ∫ V dt

in this case the given volage is a square wave that can be described by the function

V (t) = $\left \{ {{V=V_o \ \ \ t< \tau /2} \atop {V=0 \ \ \ \ t> \tau /2 } } \right.$

to substitute in the equation let us separate the into two pairs

V_average = $\int\limits^{1/2}_0 {V_o} \, dt + \int\limits^1_{1/2} {0} \, dt$

V_average = $V_o \ \int\limits^{1/2}_0 {} \, dt$

V_{average} = $\frac{1}{2} V_o$

we evaluate V₀ = 4 V

V_{average} = 4 / 2)

V_{average} = 2 V

In a 350-m race, runner A starts from rest and accelerates at 1.6 m/s^2 for the first 30 m and then runs at constant speed. Runn

kifflom [539]

Answer:

B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

Explanation:

Given that,

Total distance = 350 m

Acceleration of A = 1.6 m/s²

Distance = 30 m

Acceleration of B = 2.0 m/s²

We need to calculate the time for A

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{A}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.6\times t_{A}^2$

$t_{A}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{1.6}}$

$t_{A}=6.12\ sec$

We need to calculate the time for B

Using equation of motion

$s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at_{B}^2$

Put the value in the equation

$30=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.0\times t_{B}^2$

$t_{B}=\sqrt{\dfrac{30\times2}{2.0}}$

$t_{B}=5.48\ sec$

We need to calculate the time for longest nap

Using formula for difference of time

$t'=t_{A}-t_{B}$

$t'=6.12-5.48$

$t'=0.64\ s$

Hence, B can take 0.64 sec for the longest nap .

In which medium does light travel faster: one with a critical angle of 27.0° or one with a critical angle of 32.0°? Explain. (Fo

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Among those two medium, light would travel faster in the one with a reflection angle of $32^{\circ}$ (when light enters from the air.)

Explanation:

Let $v_{1}$ denote the speed of light in the first medium. Let $v_{\text{air}}$ denote the speed of light in the air. Assume that the light entered the boundary at an angle of $\theta_{1}$ to the normal and exited with an angle of $\theta_{\text{air}}$ . By Snell's Law, the sine of $\theta_{1}\!$ and $\theta_{\text{air}}\!$ would be proportional to the speed of light in the corresponding medium. In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} = \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})}$ .

When light enters a boundary at the critical angle $\theta_{c}$ , total internal reflection would happen. It would appear as if the angle of refraction is now $90^{\circ}$ . (in this case, $\theta_{\text{air}} = 90^{\circ}$ .)

Substitute this value into the Snell's Law equation:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{v_{1}}{v_{\text{air}}} &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{1})}{\sin(\theta_{\text{air}})} \\ &= \frac{\sin(\theta_{c})}{\sin(90^{\circ})} \\ &= \sin(\theta_{c})\end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange to obtain an expression for the speed of light in the first medium:

$v_{1} = v_{\text{air}} \cdot \sin(\theta_{1})$ .

The speed of light in a medium (with the speed of light slower than that in the air) would be proportional to the critical angle at the boundary between this medium and the air.

For $0 < \theta < 90^{\circ}$ , $\sin(\theta)$ is monotonically increasing with respect to $\theta$ . In other words, for $\!\theta$ in that range, the value of $\sin(\theta)\!$ increases as the value of $\theta\!$ increases.

Therefore, compared to the medium in this question with $\theta_{c} = 27^{\circ}$ , the medium with the larger critical angle $\theta_{c} = 32^{\circ}$ would have a larger $\sin(\theta_{c})$ . such that light would travel faster in that medium.

A satellite of mass m is moving in a circular orbit around the earth at a constant speed v and at an altitude h above the earth'

qwelly [4]

The satellite executes a rotation motion around the earth, because Earth's force of attraction plays the role of centripetal force:

Fa=Fcp=>k*Mp*m/(Rp+r)²=mv²/(Rp+r)=>v=√(k*Mp/(Rp+r))=√(6.67*10⁻¹¹*5.98*10²⁴/(6371*10³+1000*10³))=√(39.88*10¹³/(7371*10³))=√(5.41*10⁷)=7355.53 m/s

Precision is how close a series of measurements are to ______

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.
