Since astronauts in orbit are apparently weightless, a clever method of measuring their masses is needed to monitor their mass gains or losses to adjust diets. One way to do this is to exert a known force on an astronaut and measure the acceleration produced. Suppose a net external force of magnitude 52.0 N is exerted and the magnitude of the astronaut's acceleration is measured to be 0.936 m/s2. Calculate her mass.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

55.56kg

Explanation:

Given:

F= 52N

a=0.936m/s²

Applyinc Newton's second law, that states: force is equal to mass times acceleration.

F = ma

m=F/a =>52 / 0.936

m=55.56kg

Mass Center Determine the coordinates (x, y) of the center of mass of the area in blue in the figure below. Answers: x=(3)/(8)a and y=(2)/(5)h

Answers

Explanation:

The x and y coordinates of the center of mass are:

xcm = ∫ x dm / m = ∫ x ρ dA / ∫ ρ dA

ycm = ∫ y dm / m = ∫ y ρ dA / ∫ ρ dA

Assuming uniform density, the center of mass is also the center of area.

xcm = ∫ x dA / ∫ dA = ∫ x y dx / A

ycm = ∫ y dA / ∫ dA = ∫ ½ y² dx / A

First, let's find the area:

A = ∫ y dx

A = ∫₀ᵃ (-h/a² x² + h) dx

A = -⅓ h/a² x³ + hx |₀ᵃ

A = -⅓ h/a² (a)³ + h(a)

A = ⅔ ha

Now, let's find the x coordinate of the center of mass:

xcm = ∫ x y dx / A

xcm = ∫₀ᵃ x (-h/a² x² + h) dx / (⅔ ha)

xcm = ∫₀ᵃ (-h/a² x³ + hx) dx / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (-¼ h/a² x⁴ + ½ hx²) |₀ᵃ / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (-¼ h/a² (a)⁴ + ½ h(a)²) / (⅔ ha)

xcm = (¼ ha²) / (⅔ ha)

xcm = ⅜ a

Next, we find the y coordinate of the center of mass:

ycm = ∫ y² dx / A

ycm = ∫₀ᵃ ½ (-h/a² x² + h)² dx / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ∫₀ᵃ ½ (h²/a⁴ x⁴ − 2h²/a² x² + h²) dx / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⅕ h²/a⁴ x⁵ − ⅔ h²/a² x³ + h² x) |₀ᵃ / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⅕ h²/a⁴ (a)⁵ − ⅔ h²/a² (a)³ + h² (a)) / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ½ (⁸/₁₅ h²a) / (⅔ ha)

ycm = ⅖ h

To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.

Answers

Answer:

The maximum energy stored in the combination is 0.0466Joules

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Three capacitors C1-11.7 μF, C2 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF are connected in series. To avoid breakdown of the capacitors, the maximum potential difference to which any of them can be individually charged is 125 V. Determine the maximum energy stored in the series combination.

Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CtV² where

Ct is the total effective capacitance

V is the supply voltage

Since the capacitors are connected in series.

1/Ct = 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3

Given C1 = 11.7 μF, C2 = 21.0 μF, and C3 = 28.8 μF

1/Ct = 1/11.7 + 1/21.0 + 1/28.8

1/Ct = 0.0855+0.0476+0.0347

1/Ct = 0.1678

Ct = 1/0.1678

Ct = 5.96μF

Ct = 5.96×10^-6F

Since V = 125V

E = 1/2(5.96×10^-6)(125)²

E = 0.0466Joules

Find the magnitude of the emf induced in the coil (in V) if the magnetic field is reduced to zero uniformly in the following times.
(a) 0.80 S 0.5973V
(b) 8.0 s 5.973 Xv
(c) 70 S 6.838- 3 v

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.5985 V

b) 0.05985 V

c) 0.00684 V

Explanation:

Given that

Number of turn in the coil, N = 60 turns

Magnetic field of the coil, B = 0.6 T

Diameter of the coil, d = 0.13 m

If area is given as, πd²/4, then

A = π * 0.13² * 1/4

A = 0.0133 m²

The induced emf, ε = -N(dΦ*m) /dt

Note, Φm = BA

Substituting for Φ, we have

ε = -NBA/t.

Now, we substitute for numbers in the equation

ε = -(60 * 0.6 * 0.0133)/0.8

ε = 0.4788/0.8

ε = 0.5985 V

at 8s,

ε = -(60 * 0.6 * 0.0132)/8

ε = 0.4788/8

ε = 0.05985 V

at 70s

ε = -(60 * 0.6 * 0.0132)/70

ε = 0.4788/70

ε = 0.00684 V

g A 47.3 kg girl is standing on a 162 kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat, frictionless surface. The girl begins to walk along the plank at a constant velocity of 1.36 m/s relative to the plank. What is her velocity relative to the ice surface

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the girl m₁ = 47.3 kg

mass of the plank m₂ = 162 kg

velocity of the girl with respect to surface = v₁

velocity of plank with respect to surface = v₂

v₁+ v₂ = 1.36

v₂ = 1.36 - v₁

applying conservation of momentum law to girl and plank.

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

47.3 x v₁ = 162 x ( 1.36 - v₁ )

47.3 v₁ = 220.32 - 162v₁

209.3 v₁ = 220.32

v₁ = 1.05 m /s

A duck flying horizontally due north at 10.7 m/s passes over East Lansing, where the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field is 4.09×10-5 T (pointing down, towards the Earth). The duck has a positive charge of 6.47×10-8 C. What is the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the duck?

Answers

Answer:

2.83×10⁻¹¹ N.

Explanation:

From the question,

Using

F = qvB....................... Equation 1

Where F = magnetic force acting on the duck, q = charge of the duck, v = velocity of the duck, B = magnetic field of the duck.

Given: q = 6.47×10⁻⁸ C, B = 4.09×10⁻⁵ T, v = 10.7 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = 6.47×10⁻⁸×4.09×10⁻⁵×10.7

F = 2.83×10⁻¹¹ N.

Hence the magnetic force acting on the duck is  2.83×10⁻¹¹ N.

A coin is placed 17.0 cm from the axis of a rotating turntable of variable speed. When the speed of the turntable is slowly increased, the coin remains fixed on the turntable until a rate of 26.0 rpm (revolutions per minute) is reached, at which point the coin slides off. What is the coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable?

Answers

Answer: The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable is 0.13.

Explanation:

As we know that,

   Centripetal force = static frictional force

   [tex]\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = F_{s}[/tex]

or,  [tex]\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \mu_{s} \times m \times g[/tex]

     v = [tex]\sqrt{\mu_{s} \times r \times g}[/tex]

or,  [tex]\mu_{s} = \frac{v^{2}}{rg}[/tex] ......... (1)

Here, it is given that

       r = 17 cm,      [tex]\omega[/tex] = 26 rpm,    

and  v = [tex]r \omega[/tex] ..........(2)

Putting equation (2) in equation (1) we get the following.

[tex]\mu_{s} = \frac{r^{2}\omega^{2}}{rg}[/tex]

            = [tex]\frac{17 \times 10^{-2} \times (26 \times [\frac{2 \times \pi}{60}]^{2})}{9.8}[/tex]

            = 0.128

            = 0.13 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that the coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable is 0.13.

At the equator, the earth's field is essentially horizontal; near the north pole, it is nearly vertical. In between, the angle varies. As you move farther north, the dip angle, the angle of the earth's field below horizontal, steadily increases. Green turtles seem to use this dip angle to determine their latitude. Suppose you are a researcher wanting to test this idea. You have gathered green turtle hatchlings from a beach where the magnetic field strength is 50 mu T and the dip angle is 56 degree. You then put the turtles in a 2.0 m diameter circular tank and monitor the direction in which they swim as you vary the magnetic field in the tank. You change the field by passing a current through a 50-tum horizontal coil wrapped around the tank. This creates a field that adds to that of the earth. In what direction should current pass through the coil, to produce a net field in the center of the tank that has a dip angle of 62 degree ? What current should you pass through the coil, to produce a net field in the center of the tank that has a dip angle of 62 degree ? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answers

Answer:

Direction of current = clockwise

Magnitude of current, I = 0.36 A

Explanation:

The magnetic field strength, [tex]B_{E} = 50 \mu T[/tex]

The angle of dip, ∅ = 56°

The net magnetic field in the center of the tank is:

[tex]B_{net} = (B_{E} cos \phi ) (\hat{x} ) + ( B + B_{E} sin \phi)(-\hat{y})\\B_{net} = (50 cos 56 ) (\hat{x} ) + ( B +50 sin 56)(-\hat{y})\\B_{net} = (28 \mu T ) (\hat{x} ) + ( B +41.4 \mu T)(-\hat{y})\\[/tex]

The direction of the net magnetic field is:

[tex]\phi = tan^{-1} \frac{B + 41.4 }{28} \\tan \phi = \frac{B + 41.4 }{28}\\\phi = 62^0\\tan 62 = \frac{B + 41.4 }{28}\\28 tan 62 = B + 41.4\\52.66 = B + 41.4\\B = 11.26 \mu T[/tex]

The magnetic field due to the coil:

[tex]B = \frac{\mu_{0}NI }{2r} \\11.26 * 10^{-6} = \frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} * 50 *I }{2 *1}\\I = \frac{2 * 11.26 * 10^{-6}}{4\pi * 10^{-7} * 50} \\I = 0.36 A[/tex]

The current must be in clockwise direction to produce the field in downward direction

For saving energy, bicycling and walking are far more efficient means of transportation than is travel by automobile. For example, when riding at 12.5 mi/h, a cyclist uses food energy at a rate of about 360 kcal/h above what he would use if merely sitting still. (In exercise physiology, power is often measured in kcal/h rather than in watts. Here 1 kcal = 1 nutritionist's Calorie = 4186 J). Walking at 3.20 mi/h requires about 220 kcal/h. It is interesting to compare these values with the energy consumption required for travel by car. Gasoline yields about 1.30.
A) Find the fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person walking.
B) Find the fuel economy in equivalent miles per gallon for a person bicycling.

Answers

Answer:

a. 451.72 mi/ga

b. 1078.33 mi/ga

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The fuel economy for a person walking is

Given that

Walking at 3.20 mi/h requires about 220 kcal/h so it is equal to

[tex]= 220 \times 4186[/tex]

= 920920 j/hr

Now

[tex]= \frac{mi}{j}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{3.2}{920920}[/tex]

So,

[tex]= \frac{mi}{ga}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{3.2}{920920}\times 1.3 \times 100000000[/tex]

= 451.72 mi/ga

b. Now

Bicycling 12.5 mi/h requires about 360 kcal/h  energy so it is equal to

[tex]= 360 \times 4186[/tex]

= 1506960 j/hr

So,

[tex]= \frac{mi}{j}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{12.5}{1506960}[/tex]

Now

[tex]= \frac{mi}{ga}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{12.5}{1506960} \times 1.3 \times 100000000[/tex]

= 1078.33 mi/ga

A 58.0 kg skier is moving at 6.00 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal snow-covered plateau when she encounters a rough patch 3.65 m long. The coefficient of kinetic friction between this patch and her skis is 0.310. After crossing the rough patch and returning to friction-free snow, she skis down an icy, frictionless hill 3.50 m high.

Required:
a. How fast is the skier moving when she gets to the bottom of the hill?
b. How much internal energy was generated in crossing the rough patch?

Answers

Answer:

a) v = 3.71m/s

b) U = 616.71 J

Explanation:

a) To find the speed of the skier you take into account that, the work done by the friction surface on the skier is equal to the change in the kinetic energy:

[tex]-W_f=\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-v_o^2)\\\\-F_fd=\frac{1}{2}m(v^2-v_o^2)[/tex]  

(the minus sign is due to the work is against the motion of the skier)

m: mass of the skier = 58.0 kg

v: final speed = ?

vo: initial speed = 6.00 m/s

d: distance traveled by the skier in the rough patch = 3.65 m

Ff: friction force = Mgμ

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

μ: friction coefficient = 0.310

You solve the equation (1) for v:

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{2F_fd}{m}+v_o^2}=\sqrt{\frac{2mg\mu d}{m}+v_o^2}\\\\v=\sqrt{-2g\mu d+v_o^2}[/tex]

Next, you replace the values of all parameters:

[tex]v=\sqrt{-2(9.8m/s^2)(0.310)(3.65m)+(6.00m/s)^2}=3.71\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The speed after the skier has crossed the roug path is 3.71m/s

b) The work done by the rough patch is the internal energy generated:

[tex]U=W_fd=F_fd=mg\mu d\\\\U=(58.0kg)(9.8m/s^2)(0.310)(3.50m)=616.71\ J[/tex]

The internal energy generated is 616.71J

To increase the energy of an electromagnetic wave, which property should you decrease?
Shift,
Frequency
Speed
Wavelength

Answers

the correct answer is wavelength

The increase in the energy of an electromagnetic wave can be achieved only by decreasing the wavelength. Hence, option (d) is correct.

The given problem is based on the fundamentals of electromagnetic wave and the energy stored in an electromagnetic wave.

The electromagnetic wave stores the energy in the form of radiations also known as the electromagnetic radiations. These radiations can take the several forms such as radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays.

The mathematical expression for the energy carried out by the  electromagnetic waves is given as,

[tex]E = h \times \nu\\\\E = \dfrac{h \times c}{ \lambda}[/tex]

Here,

h is the Planck's constant.

[tex]\nu[/tex] is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave.

c is the speed of light.

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength of wave.

Clearly, the energy of electromagnetic waves is directly proportional to the frequency of wave and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, decreasing the wavelength, we can easily increase the energy of electromagnetic wave.

Thus, we can conclude that the increase in the energy of an electromagnetic wave can be achieved only by decreasing the wavelength. Hence, option (d) is correct.

Answers

Answer:

The speed of m2 is 0.6 m/s and its direction is to the right.

Explanation:

This numerical can be solved easily by applying law of conservation of momentum to it. According to law of conservation of momentum:

Total Momentum Before Collision = Total Momentum After Collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where,

m₁ = Mass of 1st air glider = 0.25 kg

m₂ = Mass of 2nd air glider = 0.5 kg

u₁ =  Speed of 1st air glider before collision = 0.9 m/s

u₂ = Speed of 2nd air glider before collision = 0 m/s (at rest)

v₁ =  Speed of 1st air glider after collision = - 0.3 m/s (negative sign due to change in direction of velocity)

v₂ = Speed of 2nd air glider after collision = ?

Therefore,

(0.25 kg)(0.9 m/s) + (0.5 kg)(0 m/s) = (0.25 kg)(-0.3 m/s) + (0.5 kg)v₂

0.225 kg.m/s + 0.075 kg.m/s = (0.5 kg)v₂

v₂ = (0.3 kg.m/s)/(0.5 kg)

v₂ = 0.6 m/s

Positive sign indicates that v₂ is directed towards right

Let’s consider tunneling of an electron outside of a potential well. The formula for the transmission coefficient is T \simeq e^{-2CL}T≃e ​−2CL ​​ , where L is the width of the barrier and C is a term that includes the particle energy and barrier height. If the tunneling coefficient is found to be T = 0.050T=0.050 for a given value of LL, for what new value of L\text{'}L’ is the tunneling coefficient T\text{'} = 0.025T’=0.025 ? (All other parameters remain unchanged.) Express L\text{'}L’ in terms of the original LL.

Answers

Answer:

L' = 1.231L

Explanation:

The transmission coefficient, in a tunneling process in which an electron is involved, can be approximated to the following expression:

[tex]T \approx e^{-2CL}[/tex]

L: width of the barrier

C: constant that includes particle energy and barrier height

You have that the transmission coefficient for a specific value of L is T = 0.050. Furthermore, you have that for a new value of the width of the barrier, let's say, L', the value of the transmission coefficient is T'=0.025.

To find the new value of the L' you can write down both situation for T and T', as in the following:

[tex]0.050=e^{-2CL}\ \ \ \ (1)\\\\0.025=e^{-2CL'}\ \ \ \ (2)[/tex]

Next, by properties of logarithms, you can apply Ln to both equations (1) and (2):

[tex]ln(0.050)=ln(e^{-2CL})=-2CL\ \ \ \ (3)\\\\ln(0.025)=ln(e^{-2CL'})=-2CL'\ \ \ \ (4)[/tex]

Next, you divide the equation (3) into (4), and finally, you solve for L':

[tex]\frac{ln(0.050)}{ln(0.025)}=\frac{-2CL}{-2CL'}=\frac{L}{L'}\\\\0.812=\frac{L}{L'}\\\\L'=\frac{L}{0.812}=1.231L[/tex]

hence, when the trnasmission coeeficient has changes to a values of 0.025, the new width of the barrier L' is 1.231 L

Two small plastic spheres each have a mass of 2.0 g and a charge of −50.0 nC. They are placed 2.0 cm apart (center to center). What is the magnitude of the electric force on each sphere? By what factor is the electric force on a sphere larger than its weight?

Answers

Answer:

a) F = 0.0561 N

b) F = 2.86*W

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of the electric force between the plastic spheres is given by the following formula:

[tex]F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]    (1)

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

q1 = q2: charge of the plastic spheres = -50.0nC = -50.0*10^-9 C

r: distance between the plastic spheres = 2.0 cm = 0.02 m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

[tex]F=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(-50.0*10^{-9}C)^2}{(0.02m)^2}\\\\F=0.0561N[/tex]

The electric force between the spheres is 0.0561 N

b) To calculate the relation between weight and electric force, you first calculate the weight of one of the spheres:

[tex]W=mg[/tex]

m: mass = 2.0g = 2.0*10^-3 kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

[tex]W=(2.0*10^{-3}kg)(9.8m/s^2)=0.0196N[/tex]

The ratio between W and F is:

[tex]\frac{F}{W}=\frac{0.0561N}{0.0196N}=2.86\\\\F=2.86W[/tex]

The electric force is 2.86 times the weight

(a) The magnitude of the electric force on each sphere is [tex]5.625 \times 10^{-2} \ N[/tex].

(b)  The electric force on a sphere is larger than its weight by 2.87.

The given parameters:

mass of each sphere, m = 2.0 gcharge on each sphere, q = -50 nCdistance between the charges, d = 2.0 cm

The magnitude of the electric force on each sphere is calculated as follows;

[tex]F = \frac{kq^2}{r^2} \\\\F = \frac{9\times 10^9 \times (5 0 \times 10^{-9})^2}{(0.02)^2} \\\\F = 5.625 \times 10^{-2} \ N[/tex]

The weight of a sphere is calculated as follows;

[tex]W = mg\\\\W = 0.002 \times 9.8\\\\W = 0.0196 \ N[/tex]

Compare the electric force and the weight of a sphere;

[tex]= \frac{F}{W} = \frac{5.625 \times 10^{-2}}{0.0196} = 2.87[/tex]

Thus, the electric force on a sphere is larger than its weight by 2.87.

You and a friend frequently play a trombone duet in a jazz band. During such performances it is critical that the two instruments be perfectly tuned. Since you take better care of your trombone, you decide to use your instrument as the standard. When you produce a tone that is known to be 470 Hz and your friend attempts to play the same note, you hear 4 beats every 3.00 seconds. Your ear is good enough to detect that your trombone is at a higher frequency. Determine the frequency of your friend's trombone. (Enter your answer to at least 1 decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:

f₂ = 468.67 Hz

Explanation:

A beat is a sudden increase and decrease of sound. The beats are produced through the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. Now we have the following data:

The higher frequency tone = f₁ = 470 Hz

No. of beats = n = 4 beats

Time period = t = 3 s

The lower frequency note = Frequency of Friend's Trombone = f₂ = ?

Beat Frequency = fb

So, the formula for beats per second or beat frequency is given as:

fb = n/t

fb = 4 beats/ 3 s

fb = 1.33 Hz

Another formula for beat frequency is:

fb = f₁ - f₂

f₂ =  f₁ - fb

f₂ = 470 Hz - 1.33 Hz

f₂ = 468.67 Hz

The concrete slab of a basement is 11 m long, 8 m wide, and 0.20 m thick. During the winter, temperatures are nominally 17 C and 10 C at the top and bottom surfaces, respectively. If the concrete has a thermal conductivity of 1.4 W/m K, what is the rate of heat loss through the slab

Answers

Answer:

Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW

Explanation:

The rate of heat of the concrete slab can be calculated through Fourier's Law of heat conduction. The formula of the Fourier's Law of heat conduction is as follows:

Q = - kA dt/dx

Integrating from one side of the slab to other along the thickness dimension, we get:

Q = - kA(T₂ - T₁)/L

Q = kA(T₁ - T₂)/t

where,

Q = Rate of Heat Loss = ?

k = thermal conductivity = 1.4 W/m.k

A = Surface Area = (11 m)(8 m) = 88 m²

T₁ = Temperature of Bottom Surface = 10°C

T₂ = Temperature of Top Surface = 17° C

t = Thickness of Slab = 0.2 m

Therefore,

Q = (1.4 W/m.k)(88 m²)(10°C - 17°C)/0.2 m

Q = - 4312 W = - 4.312 KW

Here, negative sign shows the loss of heat.

Upon impact, bicycle helmets compress, thus lowering the potentially dangerous acceleration experienced by the head. A new kind of helmet uses an airbag that deploys from a pouch worn around the rider's neck. In tests, a headform wearing the inflated airbag is dropped onto a rigid platform; the speed just before impact is 6.0 m/s. Upon impact, the bag compresses its full 12.0 cm thickness, slowing the headform to rest.What is the acceleration, in g's, experienced by the headform? (An acceleration greater than 60g is considered especially dangerous.)

Answers

Answer:

This is approximately 16 g's.

Explanation:

For the person’s head to stop falling, the rigid platform must exert a force that is equal to the sum of weight and force that caused the velocity to decrease from 6 m/s to 0 m/s.

Weight = m * -9.8

Let’s use the following equation to determine the acceleration.

vf^2 = vi^2 + 2 * a * d

0 = 36 + 2 * a * 0.12

a = -36 ÷ 0.24 = -150 m/s^2

The acceleration is negative, because it caused the velocity to decrease.

Total acceleration = -159.8 m/s^2

To determine the number of g, divide this by -9.8.

N g’s = -159.8 ÷- 9.8

This is approximately 16 g's.

An express train passes through a station. It enters with an initial velocity of 22.0 m/s and decelerates at a rate of 0.150 m/s^{2} as it goes through. The station is 210 m long. (a) How long is the nose of the train in the station? (b) How fast is it going when the nose leaves the station? (c) If the train is 130 m long, when does the end of the train leave the station? (d) What is the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves?

Answers

Answer:

a) [tex]t \approx 9.879\,s[/tex], b) [tex]v = 20.518\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], c) [tex]t = 16.368\,s[/tex], d) [tex]v = 19.545\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

a) Since train is only translating in a straight line and experimenting a constant deceleration throughout the station, whose length is 210 meters. The time required for the nose of the train to reach the end of the station can be found with the help of the following motion formula:

[tex]210\,m = \left(22\,\frac{m}{s}\right) \cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot t^{2}[/tex]

The following second-order polynomial needs to be solved:

[tex]-0.075\cdot t^{2} + 22\cdot t - 210 = 0[/tex]

Whose roots are presented herein:

[tex]t_{1}\approx 283.455\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} \approx 9.879\,s[/tex]

Both solutions are physically reasonable, although second roots describes better the braking process of the train.

b) The speed of the nose leaving the station is given by this expression:

[tex]v = 22\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(-0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (9.879\,s)[/tex]

[tex]v = 20.518\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

c) First, it is required to calculate the time when nose of the train reaches a distance of 130 meters.

[tex]130\,m = \left(22\,\frac{m}{s}\right) \cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]-0.075\cdot t^{2} + 22\cdot t - 130 = 0[/tex]

Roots of the second-order polynomial are:

[tex]t_{1} \approx 287.300\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} \approx 6.033\,s[/tex]

Both solutions are physically reasonable, although second roots describes better the braking process of the train. Now, the speed experimented by the train at this instant is:

[tex]v = 22\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(-0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (6.033\,s)[/tex]

[tex]v = 21.095\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The distance traveled by the end of the train throughout station is modelled after the following equation:

[tex]210\,m = \left(21.095\,\frac{m}{s}\right) \cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]-0.075\cdot t^{2} + 21.095\cdot t - 210 = 0[/tex]

Roots of the second-order polynomial are:

[tex]t_{1} \approx 270.932\,s[/tex] and [tex]t_{2} \approx 10.335\,s[/tex]

Both solutions are physically reasonable, although second roots describes better the braking process of the train. The instant when the end of the train leaves the station is:

[tex]t = 6.033\,s + 10.335\,s[/tex]

[tex]t = 16.368\,s[/tex]

d) The velocity experimented by the end of the train is:

[tex]v = 21.095\,\frac{m}{s} + \left(-0.150\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (10.335\,s)[/tex]

[tex]v = 19.545\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

The negative sign indicates that the train comes to a stop before entering the station. Therefore, the nose of the train is not in the station at all. The negative sign indicates that the train is moving in the opposite direction of its initial velocity. The end of the train leaves the station after approximately 14.98 seconds. The velocity of the end of the train as it leaves the station is approximately 19.753 m/s.

(a) Using the equation :

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (22.0)² + 2 × (-0.150 ) × s

s = -(22.0 )^2 / (2 × -0.150)

s = 325.3 m

The negative sign indicates that the train comes to a stop before entering the station. Therefore, the nose of the train is not in the station at all.

(b) The velocity of the train when the nose leaves the station is given by:

v = u + at

v = 22.0 + (-0.150 ) × 210

v ≈ 22.0 - 31.5

v ≈ -9.5 m/s

The negative sign indicates that the train is moving in the opposite direction of its initial velocity.

(c)

s = ut + (1/2)at²

210= 22.0 × t + (1/2) × (-0.150) × t²

0.075 t² - 22.0 t + 210 = 0

we find two solutions for t: t ≈ 14.98 s and t ≈ 3.01 s.

The end of the train leaves the station after approximately 14.98 seconds.

(d) The velocity of the end of the train as it leaves the station is given by:

v = u + at

v = 22.0 + (-0.150) × 14.98

v = 22.0 - 2.247

v = 19.753 m/s

So, the velocity of the end of the train as it leaves the station is approximately 19.753 m/s.

For the circuit, suppose C=10µF, R1=1000Ω, R2=3000Ω, R3=4000Ω and ls=1mA. The switch closes at t=0s.1) What is the value of Vc (in volts) just prior to the switch closing? Assume that the switch had been open for a long time. 2) For the circuit above, what is the value of Vc after the switch has been closed for a long time?
3) What is the time constant of the circuit (in seconds)? Enter the answer below without units.
4) What is the value of Vc at t = 2msec (in volts).

Answers

Answer:

1.) Vc = 1V

2.) Vc = 2.7V

3.) Time constant = 0.03

4.) V = 2.53V

Explanation:

1.) The value of Vc (in volts) just prior to the switch closing

The starting current = 1mA

With resistance R1 = 1000 ohms

By using ohms law

V = IR

Vc = 1 × 10^-3 × 1000

Vc = 1 volt.

2.) The value of Vc after the switch has been closed for a long time.

R2 and R3 are in parallel to each other. Both will be in series with R1

The equivalent resistance R will be

R = (R2 × R3)/R2R3 + R1

Where

R1 = 1000Ω,

R2 = 3000Ω,

R3 = 4000Ω

R = (4000×3000)/(4000+3000) + 1000

R = 12000000/7000 + 1000

R = 1714.3 + 1000

R = 2714.3 ohms

By using ohms law again

V = IR

Vc = 1 × 10^-3 × 2714.3

Vc = 2.7 volts

3.) The time constant = CR

Time constant = 10 × 10^-6 × 2714.3

Time constant = 0.027

Time constant = 0.03 approximately

4.) The value of Vc at t = 2msec (in volts). Can be calculated by using the formula

V = Vce^-t/CR

Where

Vc = 2.7v

t = 2msec

CR = 0.03

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V = 2.7 × e^-( 2×10^-3/0.03)

V = 2.7 × e^-(0.0667)

V = 2.7 × 0.935

V = 2.53 volts
