Large capacitors can hold a potentially dangerous charge long after a circuit has been turned off, so it is important to make su

re they are discharged before you touch them. Suppose a 120 μF capacitor from a camera flash unit retains a voltage of 140 V when an unwary student removes it from the camera. If the student accidentally touches the two terminals with his hands, and if the resistance of his body between his hands is 1.8 kΩ, for how long will the current across his chest exceed the danger level of 50 mA?

Answer:

93.3x10^-3s

Explanation:

If

Resistance = 1.8 kΩ

Current = 50 mA

Capacitor = 120 μF

Voltage = 140 V

to calculate the discharge current

Applying the formula of discharge current

io=vo/R

io= 140/ 1.8x 10³

= 0.078A

to calculate the time

Applying the formula of current

io= vo/R e-t/RC

50= 140/1800e-t/RC

0.649= e-t/RC

-t/RC= ln( 0.649)

t = 0.432x 120x10^-6x 1800

t=93.3 x 10^-3seconds

In a certain region of space, a uniform electric field has a magnitude of 4.30 x 104 n/c and points in the positive x direction.
denis23 [38]
The magnetic force exerted by a field E to a charge q is given by F=Eq. In this case, F=4.30*10^4*(6.80mu C). 1mu C=10^-6C, so F=4.30*6.80=10^-2=0.29N. The direction is in the x direction, the direction that the field is applied because the charge is positive.

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th
N76 [4]

Answer:

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Explanation:

Energy released by one slice = E1

E1=10^6\ J

h = 8850 m ; m = 79 kg ,η= 10.5%

We know that potential energy given as

u = m g h

u = 79 x 9.81 x 8850

u=6.8\times 10^6\ J

we know from the defination of efficiency that,  η= E(out)/E(in)

Now amount of PE has to be compensated, In our case, E(out) =u

0.105=\dfrac{E(out)}{E(in)}

0.105=\dfrac{6.8\times 10^6}{E(in)}

E(in)=64.76\times 10^6\ J

Let n be the number of bread slices to be consumed.

n = E(in)/E1

n=\dfrac{64.76\times 10^6}{10^6}

n=64.76

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

A 20kg mass approaches a spring at a speed of 30 m/s. The mass compresses the spring 12cm before coming to a stop. Calculate the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m

A steel tank of weight 600 lb is to be accelerated straight upward at a rate of 1.5 ft/sec2. Knowing the magnitude of the force
VikaD [51]

Answer:

a) the values of the angle α is 45.5°

b) the required magnitude of the vertical force, F is 41 lb

Explanation:

Applying the free equilibrium equation along x-direction

from the diagram

we say

∑Fₓ = 0

Pcosα - 425cos30° = 0

525cosα - 368.06 = 0

cosα = 368.06/525

cosα = 0.701

α = cos⁻¹ (0.701)

α = 45.5°

Also Applying the force equation of motion along y-direction

∑Fₓ = ma

Psinα + F + 425sin30° - 600 = (600/32.2)(1.5)

525sin45.5° + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

374.46 + F + 212.5 - 600 = 27.95

F - 13.04 = 27.95

F = 27.95 + 13.04

F = 40.99 ≈ 41 lb

23. While sliding a couch across a floor, Andrea and Jennifer exert forces F → A and F → J on the couch. Andrea’s force is due n
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

a)  (95.4 i^ + 282.6 j^) N , b) 298.27 N  71.3º and c)   F' = 298.27 N   θ = 251.4º

Explanation:

a) Let's use trigonometry to break down Jennifer's strength

      sin θ = Fjy / Fj

      cos θ = Fjx / Fj

Analyze the angle is 32º east of the north measuring from the positive side of the x-axis would be

          T = 90 -32 = 58º

         Fjy = Fj sin 58

         Fjx = FJ cos 58

         Fjx = 180 cos 58 = 95.4 N

         Fjy = 180 sin 58 = 152.6 N

Andrea's force is

         Fa = 130.0 j ^

We perform the summary of force on each axis

X axis

       Fx = Fjx

       Fx = 95.4 N

Axis y

       Fy = Fjy + Fa

       Fy = 152.6 + 130

       Fy = 282.6 N

       F = (95.4 i ^ + 282.6 j ^) N

b) Let's use the Pythagorean theorem and trigonometry

       F² = Fx² + Fy²

       F = √ (95.4² + 282.6²)

       F = √ (88963)

       F = 298.27 N

       tan θ = Fy / Fx

       θ = tan-1 (282.6 / 95.4)

       θ = tan-1 (2,962)

       θ = 71.3º

c) To avoid the movement they must apply a force of equal magnitude, but opposite direction

       F' = 298.27 N

       θ' = 180 + 71.3

       θ = 251.4º
