Answer:

I = 0.667 A

Explanation:

A capacitor behaves like a short circuit at t = 0 immediately after the switch is closed, therefore we can discard it from the equation, the resistance is given in watts or power units equivalent to current by voltage and the ammeter behave like a short circuit by nature.

Considering all of the above, the circuit looks like a battery in series with a resistor, therefore, we can use the power equation to solve the problem as follow:

P = I*V

4W = I*6V

I = 0.667 A

<span>You are given a circuit that contains a 6.0-v battery, a 4.0 ohm resistor, a 0.60 micro farad capacitor, an ammeter, and a switch all in series. You are asked to find the current reading after the switch is closed. Apply ohms law where V = IR where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.</span>

V = IR
I = V/R
I = 6 volts / 4 ohms
I = 1.5A

When the switch is closed, the cathode side plate begins to fill up with electrons when it was originally empty before the switch was closed. When it fills up the cathode side of the circuit, the current decreases. And when the capacitor cannot hold more electrons, the current will stop. The higher the capacitance, the higher is the capacity to store electrons.

A 100 cm3 block of lead weighs 11N is carefully submerged in water. One cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N.
Pie

#1

Volume of lead = 100 cm^3

density of lead = 11.34 g/cm^3

mass of the lead piece = density * volume

m = 100 * 11.34 = 1134 g

m = 1.134 kg

so its weight in air will be given as

W = mg = 1.134* 9.8 = 11.11 N

now the buoyant force on the lead is given by

F_B = W - F_{net}

F_B = 11.11 - 11 = 0.11 N

now as we know that

F_B = \rho V g

0.11 = 1000* V * 9.8

so by solving it we got

V = 11.22 cm^3

(ii) this volume of water will weigh same as the buoyant force so it is 0.11 N

(iii) Buoyant force = 0.11 N

(iv)since the density of lead block is more than density of water so it will sink inside the water


#2

buoyant force on the lead block is balancing the weight of it

F_B = W

\rho V g = W

13* 10^3 * V * 9.8 = 11.11

V = 87.2 cm^3

(ii) So this volume of mercury will weigh same as buoyant force and since block is floating here inside mercury so it is same as its weight =  11.11 N

(iii) Buoyant force = 11.11 N

(iv) since the density of lead is less than the density of mercury so it will float inside mercury


#3

Yes, if object density is less than the density of liquid then it will float otherwise it will sink inside the liquid

A uniform cylindrical steel wire (density: 7.8 x 103 kg/m3), 58.0 cm long and 1.34 mm in diameter, is fixed at both ends. To wha
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

T= 354.65 N

Explanation:

Given that

ρ= 7800 kg/m³

L= 58 cm

d=1.34 mm

f= 311 Hz

T= Tension

Speed of wave ,V

V = f λ      

V = f L

V= 311 x 0.58 m/s

V=180.38 m/s

Area of cross sectional

A= πr² mm²

A= 3.14 x 0.67² mm²

A=1.41 mm²

Mass = Density x Volume

m=7800\times 1.41\times 10^{-6}\ kg/m

m=0.0109 kg/m

Tension ,T

T=m V^2

T= 0.0109 x 180.38² N

T= 354.65 N

Combine Newton's 2nd law and Hooke's law for a spring to find the acceleration of the block a(t) as a function of time. Express
Inga [223]

Answer:

a=-\dfrac{k}{m}x(t)

Explanation:

From Newton's second law,

F = ma

where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

From Hooke's law,

F = -kx(t)

where k is the spring constant and x(t) is the displacement function measured from the origin. The negative sign indicates the force acts in opposite direction to the displacement. In fact, it is a restoring force; it acts to return the spring to its original undisturbed position.

Since both forces are the same,

F = ma= - kx(t)

a=-\dfrac{k}{m}x(t)

The implication of this is that the acceleration is proportional to the displacement but opposite to it. That last statement is the definition of a simple harmonic motion which this is.

The ratio \dfrac{k}{m} is a constant except in situations where the mass is varying (say, the mass on the spring is a decaying material).

A 250 GeV beam of protons is fired over a distance of 1 km. If the initial size of the wave packet is 1 mm, find its final size
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of 1.055\times 10^{- 7} in its size

Solution:

As per the question:

The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV =250\times 10^{9}\times 1.6\times 10^{- 19} = 4\times 10^{- 8} J

Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m

Mass of proton, m_{p} = 1.67\times 10^{- 27} kg

The initial size of the wave packet, \Delta t_{o} = 1 mm = 1\times 10^{- 3} m

Now,

This is relativistic in nature

The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:

E = m_{p}c^{2}

E = 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (3\times 10^{8})^{2} = 1.503\times 10^{- 10} J

This energy of proton is \simeq 250 GeV

Thus the speed of the proton, v\simeq c

Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:

T = \frac{1000}{v}

T = \frac{1000}{c} = \frac{1000}{3\times 10^{8}} = 3.34\times 10^{- 6} s

Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{ht_{o}}{2\pi m_{p}\Delta t_{o}^{2}}

\frac{\delta t_{o}}{\Delta t_{o}} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 3.34\times 10^{- 6}}{2\pi 1.67\times 10^{- 27}\times (10^{- 3})^{2} = 1.055\times 10^{- 7}

Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.

Hence, we can say that:

\Delta t_{o} = \Delta t

where

\Delta t = final width

In the 25-ft Space Simulator facility at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a bank of overhead arc lamps can produce light of int
Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b. 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c. 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d. 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²

Explanation:

Given:

a.

I = 2500 W / m² , us = 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s

P rad = I / us

P rad  = 2500 W / m² / 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa

b.

P rad = 8.33 x 10 ⁻⁶ Pa *[  9.8 x 10 ⁻⁶ atm / 1 Pa ]

P rad = 8.19 x 10 ⁻¹¹ atm

c.

P rad = 2 * I / us = ( 2 * 2500 w / m²) / [ 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m /s ]

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa

P₁ = 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm

P rad = 1.67 x 10 ⁻⁵ Pa / 1.013 x 10 ⁵ Pa /atm = 1.65 x 10 ⁻¹⁰ atm

d.

P rad  = I / us

ΔP / Δt = I / C² = [ 2500 w / m² ] / ( 3.0 x 10 ⁸ m/s)²

ΔP / Δt = 2.778 x 10 ⁻¹⁴ kg / m²
