A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series across an ideal battery having a constant voltage across its terminals. Long
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

A) equal to the battery's terminal voltage.

Explanation:

When the capacitor is fully charged after long hours of charging , its  potential becomes equal to the emf of the battery and its polarity is opposite to that of battery . Hence net emf becomes equal . The capacitor itself becomes a battery which is connected in the circuit with opposite polarity . This results in the net emf and  current becoming zero . There is no charging current when the capacitor is fully charged .

The 45-g arrow is launched so that it hits and embeds in a 1.40 kg block. The block hangs from strings. After the arrow joins th
worty [1.4K]

Question: How fast was the arrow moving before it joined the block?

Answer:

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy says that the kinetic energy of the arrow must be converted into the potential energy of the block and arrow after it they join:

\dfrac{1}{2}m_av^2 = (m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg

where m_a is the mass of the arrow, m_b is the mass of the block, \Delta H of the change in height of the block after the collision, and v is the velocity of the arrow before it hit the block.

Solving for the velocity v, we get:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2(m_b+m_a)\Delta Hg}{m_a} } $

and we put in the numerical values

m_a = 0.045kg,

m_b = 1.40kg,

\Delta H = 0.4m,

g= 9.8m/s^2

and simplify to get:

\boxed{ v= 15.9m/s}

The arrow was moving at 15.9 m/s

erica [24]

Answer:

(a) 0.0171 V

Explanation:

A = 0.09 m^2, dB/dt = 0.190 T/s

(a) According to the law of electromagntic induction

e = dФ / dt

e = A dB / dt

e = 0.09 x 0.190 = 0.0171 V

(b)

as we know

i = e / R

we can find induced current by dividing induced emf by resistance
