Which of the following statements is not true?

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Average power supplied to an inductor is zero because the phase difference of potential and current is π / 2 .

So it is a wrong statement .

2 ) Step up transformer increases the voltage . At high voltage , lesser current is required to transport electrical energy . When current is reduced , the loss of energy due to heating effect is reduced .

3 ) voltage and current are in phase in resistance in ac .

3 ) RMS stands for Root Mean Square .

How does this explain the action of a bullet fired from a gun.

devlian [24]

Answer:

When a bullet is fired from a gun, the gun exerts a force on the bullet in the forward direction. This is force is called as the action force. The bullet also exerts an equal and opposite force on the gun in the backward direction. Therefore a gun recoils when a bullet is fired from it.

A bullet with a mass ????b=13.5 g is fired into a block of wood at velocity ????b=249. The block is attached to a spring that ha

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

$M = 0.436 kg$

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we can say that energy stored in the spring at the position of maximum compression must be equal to the kinetic energy of bullet and block system

so here we have

$\frac{1}{2}(m + M)v^2 = \frac{1}{2} kx^2$

here we know that

k = 205 N/m

x = 35 cm

$\frac{1}{2}(m + M)v^2 = \frac{1}{2}(205)(0.35)^2$

now by momentum conservation we know that

$mv_o = (m + M)v$

$v = \frac{m}{m + M} v_o$

now plug in all values in it

$v = \frac{0.0135}{0.0135 + M}(249)$

now from above equation

$\frac{1}{2}(0.0135 + M)( \frac{0.0135}{0.0135 + M}(249))^2 = 12.56$

$\frac{5.65}{0.0135 + M} = 12.56$

by solving above equation we have

$M = 0.436 kg$

Two trucks with equal mass are attracted to each other with a gravitational force of 5.3 x 10 -4 N. The trucks are separated by

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7327 kg or 7.3 tons

Explanation:

We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

$F_G = G\frac{M_1M_2}{R^2}$

where $G =6.67408*10^{-11} m^3/kgs^2$ is the gravitational constant on Earth. $M = M_1 = M_2$ is the masses of the 2 objects. and R = 2.6m is the distance between them.

$F_G = 5.3*10^{-4}N$ is the attraction force.

$5.3*10^{-4} = 6.67408*10^{-11}\frac{M^2}{2.6^2}$

$7941265 = \frac{M^2}{2.6^2}$

$M^2 = 53682948.76$

$M = \sqrt{53682948.76} \approx 7327 kg$ or 7.3 tons
