An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities in elastic collisions. ... They collide, bouncing off each other with no loss in speed.

Complete Question

An aluminum "12 gauge" wire has a diameter d of 0.205 centimeters. The resistivity ρ of aluminum is 2.75×10−8 ohm-meters. The electric field in the wire changes with time as E(t)=0.0004t2−0.0001t+0.0004 newtons per coulomb, where time is measured in seconds.

I = 1.2 A at time 5 secs.

Find the charge Q passing through a cross-section of the conductor between time 0 seconds and time 5 seconds.

Answer:

The charge is  Q =2.094 C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The diameter of the wire is  d =  0.205cm = 0.00205 \ m

     The radius of  the wire is  r =  \frac{0.00205}{2} = 0.001025  \ m

     The resistivity of aluminum is 2.75*10^{-8} \ ohm-meters.

       The electric field change is mathematically defied as

         E (t) =  0.0004t^2 - 0.0001 +0.0004

     

Generally the charge is  mathematically represented as

       Q = \int\limits^{t}_{0} {\frac{A}{\rho} E(t) } \, dt

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

       A =  \pi r^2 =  (3.142 * (0.001025^2)) = 3.30*10^{-6} \ m^2

 So

       \frac{A}{\rho} =  \frac{3.3 *10^{-6}}{2.75 *10^{-8}} =  120.03 \ m / \Omega

Therefore

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { E(t) } \, dt

substituting values

      Q = 120 \int\limits^{t}_{0} { [ 0.0004t^2 - 0.0001t +0.0004] } \, dt

     Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | t} \atop {0}} \right.

From the question we are told that t =  5 sec

           Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004t^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 t^2}{2} +0.0004t] }  \left | 5} \atop {0}} \right.

          Q = 120 [ \frac{0.0004(5)^3 }{3} - \frac{0.0001 (5)^2}{2} +0.0004(5)] }

         Q =2.094 C

All electromagnetic waves travel in vacuum at the speed of c=3×10^8 m/s. Find the wavelength of microwaves of frequency 10^10 Hz
erica [24]
Recall the wave equation, c=f\lambda where c is the speed of the wave (m/s), f is the frequency of the wave (Hz) and λ is the wavelength of the wave (m).

c=f\lambda \Rightarrow \lambda =  \frac{c}{f} so \lambda =  \frac{3 \times 10^8}{10^{10}} = 0.03 \text{m}

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where we have

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for \omega_f, we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}

where here we have

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

\omega_f=0 is the final angular speed

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s

What's the basic unit of the measurement of power
Jobisdone [24]

Power is the RATE at which energy changes or flows.

The unit of energy is the Joule, so a unit of power is the Joule/second.

That unit has the special name "<em>Watt</em>".

Your question is not necessarily a question. It's also a statement, You could write

"<em>Watt's the basic unit of the measurement of power</em>".
