. The p.d. at the terminals of a battery is 25V when no load is connected and 24V when a load taking 10A is connected. Determine

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

the internal resistance of the cell is 0.1 ohm.

Explanation:

Given;

p.d at the terminals of a battery at no load, E₁ = 25 V

p.d at the terminals of a battery at a load, E₂ = 24 V

current through the circuit, I = 10 A

The potential drop across the circuit, V = E₁ - E₂

= 25 V - 24 V

= 1 V

The internal resistance of the cell is calculated as follows;

r = V/I

r = 1 / 10

r = 0.1 ohm

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.1 ohm.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?

goldfiish [28.3K]

Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector. The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are. It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes. If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity. So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:
W=Fd

Halleys comet has period of 75.3 years. Using Kepler’s third law, find it’s semimajor axis expressed in astronomical units?

natta225 [31]

Answer: 17.83 AU

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. 

$T^{2}\propto a^{3}$ (1)

Talking in general, this law states a relation between the orbital period $T$ of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the size $a$ of its orbit.

However, if $T$ is measured in years, and $a$ is measured in astronomical units (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: $1AU=1.5(10)^{8}km$ ), equation (1) becomes:

$T^{2}=a^{3}$ (2)

This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.

Knowing $T=75.3years$ and isolating $a$ from (2):

$a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}$ (3)

$a=(75.3years)^{2/3}$ (4)

Finally:

$a=17.83AU$ (5)

A ball is shot from the ground into the air. At a height of 8.8 m, the velocity is observed to be

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

h = 10.4 m

R = 22.48 m

v= 16,2 m/s , α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

Explanation:

The ball describes a parabolic path, and the equations of the movement are:

Equation of the uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) :

x = vx*t :

Equations of the uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ).

y = (v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Equation (2)

vfy² = v₀y² -2gy Equation (3)

vfy = v₀y -gt Equation (4)

Where:

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity in m

y: vertical position in meters (m)

v₀y: initial vertical velocity in m/s

vfy: final vertical velocity in m/s

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Known data

y= 8.8 m

v = ( (7.7)i + (5.7)j ) m/s : vx= 7.7 m/s , vy= 5.7 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

Calculation of the initial vertical velocity ( v₀y)

We apply Equation (3) with the known data

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

(5.7)² = (v₀y)²- (2)*(9.8)*(8.8)

(5.7)²+ 172.48 = (v₀y)²

$v_{oy} = \sqrt{(5.7)^{2}+ 172.48 }$

v₀y = 14.3 m/s

Calculation of the maximum height the ball rise (h)

In the maximum height vfy=0

We apply the Equation (3) :

(vfy)² = (v₀y)² -2*g*y

0 = (14.3)² - 2*98*h

h = (14.3)² / 19.6

h = 10.4 m

Calculation of the time it takes for the ball to the maximum height

We apply the Equation (4) :

vfy = v₀y -gt

0 = v₀y -gt

gt = v₀y

t = v₀y/g

t = 14.3/9.8

t= 1.46 s

Flight time = 2t = 2.92 s

Total horizontal distance traveled by the ball (R)

We replace data in the equation (1)

x =vx*t vx= 7.7 m/s , t =2.92 s (Flight time)

R = (7.7)* (2.92) = 22.48 m

Velocity of the ball (magnitude (v) and direction (α)) the instant before it hits the ground

vx = 7.7 m/s

vy = v₀y -gt = 14.3 - 9.8* (2.92) = -14.3 m/s

$v= \sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2} }$

$v= \sqrt{(7.7)^{2}+ (-14.3)^{2} }$

v= 16,2 m/s

$\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x} })$

$\alpha = tan^{-1} (\frac{-14.3 }{7.7 })$

α = -61.7°

α = 61.7°, below the horizontal

i- j components of the v

v = (7.7)i + (-14.3)j in meters per second (i horizontal, j downward)

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of the train using the Doppler equation:

$f = f_{0}\frac{v + v_{o}}{v - v_{s}}$

Where:

f₀: is the emitted frequency

f: is the frequency heard by the observer

v: is the speed of the sound = 343 m/s

$v_{o}$ : is the speed of the observer = 0 (it is heard in the town)

$v_{s}$ : is the speed of the source =?

The frequency of the train before slowing down is given by:

$f_{b} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (1)

Now, the frequency of the train after slowing down is:

$f_{a} = f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}$ (2)

Dividing equation (1) by (2) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{b}}}}{f_{0}\frac{v}{v - v_{s_{a}}}}$

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - v_{s_{b}}}$ (3)

Also, we know that the speed of the train when it is slowing down is half the initial speed so:

$v_{s_{b}} = 2v_{s_{a}}$ (4)

Now, by entering equation (4) into (3) we have:

$\frac{f_{b}}{f_{a}} = \frac{v - v_{s_{a}}}{v - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

$\frac{300 Hz}{290 Hz} = \frac{343 m/s - v_{s_{a}}}{343 m/s - 2v_{s_{a}}}$

By solving the above equation for $v_{s_{a}}$ we can find the speed of the train after slowing down:

$v_{s_{a}} = 11.06 m/s$

Finally, the speed of the train before slowing down is:

$v_{s_{b}} = 11.06 m/s*2 = 22.12 m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12 m/s and 11.06 m/s, respectively.

I hope it helps you!
