You are on vacation in San Francisco and decide to take a cable car to see the city. A 5800-kgkg cable car goes 260 mm up a hill

inclined 17 ∘∘ above the horizontal. The system is the car and Earth. Part A Determine the change in the total energy of the system when the car moves from the bottom to the top. Ignore friction.

Answer:

$4.325\times10^6J$

Explanation:

Mass of the cable car, m = 5800 kg

It goes 260 m up a hill, along a slope of $\theta=17^o$

Therefore vertical elevation of the car = $260sin\theta=260sin17^o=76.0166m$

Now, when you get into the cable car, it's velocity is zero, that is, initial kinetic energy is zero (since K.E. = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$ ). Similarly as the car reaches the top, it halts and hence final kinetic energy is zero.

Therefore the only possible change in the cable car system is the change in it's gravitational potential energy.

Hence, total change in energy = mgh = $5800\times9.81\times76.0166J=4.325\times10^6J$

where, g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height/vertical elevation

A 1-m-long monopole car radio antenna operates in the AM frequency of 1.5 MHz. How muchcurrent is required to transmit 4 W of po

Zanzabum

Answer:

The current needed to transmit Power of 4 W is 28.47 A

Solution:

As per the question:

Length of the antenna, $L_{a} = 1 m$

Frequency, $\vartheta = 1.5 MHz = 1.5\times 10^{6} Hz$

Power transmitted, $P_{t} = 4 W$

Now,

For a monopole antenna:

$\lambda_{a} = \frac{c}{\vartheta}$

where

$\lambda_{a}$ = wavelength transmitted by the antenna

c = speed of light in vacuum

$\lambda_{a} = \frac{3\times 10^{8}}{1.5\times 10^{6}} = 200 m$

Now,

Since, the value of $\lambda_{a}$ >> $L_{a}$ thus the monopole is a Hertian monopole.

The resistance is calculated as:

$R = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{dL_{a}}{\lambda_{a}})^{2}\times 80\pi^{2}$

$R = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{200)^{2}\times 80\pi^{2} = 9.869\times 10^{- 3} = 9.869 m\Omega$

$P_{radiated} = P_{t}$

$P_{radiated} = \frac{R}{I^{2}}$

Now, the current I is given by:

$I = \sqrt{\frac{2P_{t}}{R}} = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 4}{9.869\times 10^{- 3}}} = 28.47 A$

The current supplied by a battery slowly decreases as the battery runs down. Suppose that the current as a function of time is:

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: 8.1 x 10^24

Explanation:

I(t) = (0.6 A) e^(-t/6 hr)

I'll leave out units for neatness: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/6)

If t is in seconds then since 1hr = 3600s: I(t) = 0.6e^(-t/(6 x 3600) ).

For neatness let k = 1/(6x3600) = 4.63x10^-5, then:

I(t) = 0.6e^(-kt)

Providing t is in seconds, total charge Q in coulombs is

Q= ∫ I(t).dt evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

Q = ∫(0.6e^(-kt)

= (0.6/-k)e^(-kt) evaluated from t=0 to t=∞.

= -(0.6/k)[e^-∞ - e^-0]

= -0.6/k[0 - 1]

= 0.6/k

= 0.6/(4.63x10^-5)

= 12958 C

Since the magnitude of the charge on an electron = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C, the number of electrons is 12958/(1.6x10^-19) = 8.1x10^24 to two significant figures.

What is the total flux φ that now passes through the cylindrical surface? enter a positive number if the net flux leaves the cyl

trasher [3.6K]

Net flux through the cylindrical surface is given as

$\phi = \frac{q}{epsilon_0}$

here q = enclosed charge in the surface

so here in order to find the value of q

$q = \lambda* L$

so now we have

$\phi = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

so this is the total flux

now by Gauss's law we can find the electric field

$\int E.dA = \phi$

$\int E.dA = \frac{\lambda * L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E* 2\pi rL = \frac{\lambda * L}{epsilon_0}$

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

<em>by above expression we can find the electric field at required position</em>

a box weighing 155 N is pushed horizontally down the hall at constant velocity. the applied force is 83 n what is the coefficien

meriva

Answer:

μ = 0.535

Explanation:

On a level floor, normal force = weight.

N = W

Friction force = normal force × coefficient of friction.

F = Nμ

Substitute:

F = Wμ

83 = 155μ

μ = 0.535

Round as needed.
