How much voltage (in terms of the power source voltage bV) will the capacitor have when it has started at zero volts potential difference, it is connected to the power supply and resistor and onehalf the characteristic time has passed (i.e. t= T(tau)/2)?
Answer:
The voltage is [tex]V = 0.993V_b[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The time that has passed is [tex]t = \frac{\tau}{2}[/tex]
Here [tex]\tau[/tex] is know as the time constant
The voltage of the power source is [tex]V_b[/tex]
Generally the voltage equation for charging a capacitor is mathematically represented as
[tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{t}{\tau} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\frac{\tau}{2}}{\tau} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{\tau}{2\tau} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = V_b [1 - e^{- \frac{1}{2} }][/tex]
=> [tex]V = 0.993V_b[/tex]

A daring stunt woman sitting on a tree limb
wishes to drop vertically onto a horse gallop-
ing under the tree. The constant speed of the
horse is 6.8 m/s, and the woman is initially
1.91 m above the level of the saddle.
How long is she in the air? The acceleration
of gravity is 9.8 m/s.
Answer in units of s.
Answer:
she is in the air for approximately 0.62 seconds
Explanation:
We want to find the time for a free fall under the acceleration of gravity, covering a distance of 1.91 m, and considering that the woman doesn't impart initial velocity in the vertical direction. So we use the kinematic equation:
[tex]d=v_i\,t+ \frac{g}{2} \,t^21.91 = 0 +4.9\, t^2\\t^2=1.91/4.9\\t=\sqrt{1.91/4.9} \\t\approx 0.624\,\,sec[/tex]
Then she is in the air for approximately 0.62 seconds
A motorboat is a lot heavier than a pebble. Why does the boat float?
Answer:
The boat has more buoyancy
Explanation:
If you weigh 660 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20.0 km? Take the mass of the sun to be 1.99×10^30, the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10^−11Nm^2/kg^2, and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/s^2.p
Answer:
8.93*10^13 N.
Explanation:
Assuming that in this case, the weight is just the the force exerted on you by the mass of the star, due to gravity, we can apply the Universal Law of Gravitation:[tex]F_{g}= \frac{G*m_{1}*m_{s}}{r_{s}^{2} }[/tex]
where, m1 = mass of the man = 660 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 67.3 kg, ms = mass of the star = 1.99*10^30 kg, G= Universal Constant of Gravitation, and rs= radius of the star = 10.0 km. = 10^4 m.Replacing by the values, we get:[tex]F_{g}= \frac{6.67e-11Nm^2/kg^2*1.99e30 kg*67.3 kg}{10e4m^2} = 8.93e13 N[/tex]

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation. This process will double the: __________A. capacitance
B. surface charge density on each plate
C. stored energy
D. electricfield between the two places
E. charge on each plate"
Answer: C.
Explanation:
For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.
Now, the stored energy can be written as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.
If the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.
The given problem is based on the concept of parallel plat capacitor. For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.
The capacitance is:
C = e*A/d
here.
e is the permittivity of free space.
Since, the distance is inversely proportional then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves. Now, the stored energy can be given as,
E = (1/2)*Q^2/C
here,
Q is the charge stored in the capacitor.
Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:
E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)
e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.
Then we can define:
K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)
And now we can write the energy as:
E = K*d
So, the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates.
Thus, we can conclude that if the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.

Question 1-1: In each case, lifting or pushing, why must you exert a force to keep the object moving at a constant velocity?
Answer:
We must apply a force to keep the object moving at a constant velocity due to gravitational force or weight (in case of lifting), and due to frictional force (in case of pushing).
Explanation:
LIFTING:
When an object is lifted, we first need to overcome the force exerted on it by the field of gravity. Due to this force, which is also called the weight of object, we must apply a force on the object to keep it moving at constant speed, otherwise the gravity force will cause the object to slow down and eventually fall back on ground.
PUSHING:
When pushing an object the person must apply the force to first overcome the frictional force. The frictional force acts in opposite direction of motion. Thus, to move the object at constant speed we must apply force to it.
Hence, we must apply a force to keep the object moving at a constant velocity due to gravitational force or weight (in case of lifting), and due to frictional force (in case of pushing).
While making some observations at the top of the 66 m tall Astronomy tower, Ron
accidently knocks a 0.5 kg stone over the edge. How long will a student at the bottom
have to get out of the way before being hit?
Analysing the question:
Since the stone was dropped, there was no initial velocity applied on it and hence it's initial velocity of the stone is 0 m/s
We are given:
height of the tower (h) = 66 m
mass of the stone (m) = 0.5 kg
initial velocity of the stone (u) = 0 m/s
time taken by the stone to reach the ground (t) = t seconds
acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²
** Neglecting air resistance**
Finding the time taken by the stone to reach the ground:
from the second equation of motion
h = ut + 1/2at²
replacing the variables
66 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (10)(t)²
66 = 5t²
t² = 13.2
t = 3.6 seconds
I initially wanted to subtract the height of the student from the height of the tower since the time i calculated is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that means that the stone has already hit the student before 3.6 seconds
but since we were NOT given the height of a student, the person who posed this question wants the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that is what we solved
A plane travelling at 100 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s² for a distance of 125 m. What is the final velocity of the plane?
Analyzing the question:
We are given:
initial velocity (u) = 100 m/s
final velocity (v) = v m/s
distance (s) = 125 m
acceleration (a) = 5 m/s²
Solving for Final Velocity (v):
from the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2as
v² - (100)² = 2(5)(125)
v² - 10000 = 1250
v² = 1250 + 10000
v² = 11250
v = 106.06 m/s
the diagram shows a contour map. letter a through k are reference points on the map. which points are located at the same elevation above sea level?
Answer:
K and I
Explanation:
Contour maps use lines that represent spaces in a map that have the same elevation, this means that all the lines should be continuous and closed, in this case, we are not able to see the full extent of most of the lines, but since the points are located in different lines we can assume that they are at different heights, so since only point K and point I are on the same line, we know that these two points are at the same height.
An FM radio station, 20 miles away, broadcast at a 93.4 MHz frequency(a) What is the wavelength of the radio wave associated with this signal ?(b) How long does it take for the signal to reach your radio from the station ?
Answer:
(a) Wavelength = 3.21 m (b) Time = [tex]1.07\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The frequency of FM radio station, f = 93.4 MHz
(a) We need to find the wavelength of the radio wave associated with this signal. The relation between wavelength and frequency is given by :
[tex]c=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{93.4\times 10^6}\\\\\lambda=3.21\ m[/tex]
(b) It is given that, an FM radio station, 20 miles away. Let t is time taken for signal to reach your radio from the station. So,
[tex]t=\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\t=\dfrac{20\times 1609.34}{3\times 10^8}\\\\t=1.07\times 10^{-4}\ s[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
A plane flying horizontally at a speed of 40.0 m/s and at an elevation of 160 m drops a package. Two seconds later it drops a second package. How far apart will the two packages land on the ground?
Answer:
Package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m, and the distance between them is 80.0 m.
Explanation:
To find the distance at which the first package will land we need to calculate the time:
[tex] Y_{f} = Y_{0} + V_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]
Where:
Y(f) is the final position = 0
Y(0) is the initial position = 160 m
V(0y) is initial speed in "y" direction = 0
g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²
t is the time=?
[tex] 0 = 160 m + 0t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2} [/tex]
[tex] t = \sqrt{\frac{2*160 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 5.7 s [/tex]
Now we can find the distance of the first package:
[tex] X_{1} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*5.7 s = 228.0 m [/tex]
Then, after 2 seconds the distance traveled by plane is (from the initial position):
[tex] X_{p} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*2 s = 80.0 m [/tex]
Now, the distance of the second package is:
[tex] X _{2} = X_{1} + X_{p} = 228.0 m + 80.0 m = 308.0 m [/tex]
The distance between the packages is:
[tex] X = X_{2} - X_{1} = 308.0 - 228.0 m = 80.0 m [/tex]
Therefore, package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m and the distance between them is 80.0 m.

Where:
m is the mass = 1.08x10⁻⁴ g = 1.08x10⁻⁷ kg
a is the acceleration
Hence, the acceleration is:
[tex] a = \frac{Eq}{m} = \frac{1.07 \cdot 10^{5} N/C*1.05 \cdot 10^{-11} C}{1.08 \cdot 10^{-7} kg} = 10.40 m/s^{2} [/tex]
Therefore, the acceleration of a small piece of ice is 10.40 m/s².

A negative charge -Q is placed inside the cavity of a hollow metal solid. The outside of the solid is grounded by connecting a conducting wire between it and the earth. Is any excess charge induced on the inner surface of the metal? Is there any excess charge on the outside surface of the metal? Why or why not? Would someone outside the solid measure an electric field due to the charge -Q? Is it reasonable to say that the grounded conductor has shielded the region outside the conductor from the effects of the charge -Q? In principle, could the same thing be done for gravity? Why or why not?
Answer:
a) + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge
b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0
c) E=0
Explanation:
Let's analyze the situation when a negative charge is placed inside the cavity, it repels the other negative charges, leaving the necessary positive charges to compensate for the -Q charge. The electrons that migrated to the outer part of the sphere, as it is connected to the ground, can pass to the earth and remain on the planet; therefore on the outside of the sphere the net charge remains zero.
With this analysis we can answer the specific questions
a) + Q charge is inducce that compensates for the internal charge
b) There is no excess charge on the external face q_net = 0
c) If we create a Gaussian surface on the outside of the sphere the net charge on the inside of this sphere is zero, therefore there is no electric field, on the outside
d) If it is very reasonable and this system configuration is called a Faraday Cage
e) We cannot apply this principle to gravity since there are no particles that repel, in all cases the attractive forces.
An electric bulb rated 100 W, 100 V has to be
operated aross 141.4 V, 50 Hz A.C. supply. The
capacitance of the capacitor which has to be
connected in series with bulb so that bulb will
glow with full intensity is [NCERT Pg. 251]
Answer:
The capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.
Explanation:
Given;
power rating of the bulb, P = 100 W
voltage rating of the bulb, Vr = 100 V
operating voltage of the bulb, V= 141.4 V
frequency of the AC = 50 Hz
P = IV = 100 W
V = 100 V
I =
Ic = 1 A
The voltage across the capacitor is given by;
[tex]V_c = \sqrt{V^2 - V_R^2} \\\\V_c = \sqrt{141.4^2 - 100^2} \\\\V_c =99.97 \ V[/tex]
[tex]V_c = I_cX_c\\\\V_c = I_C* \frac{1}{2\pi fC}\\\\ 99.97 = 1 * \frac{1}{2\pi *50 *C}\\\\ C=\frac{1}{2\pi *50*99.97}\\\\ C = 31.84*10^{-6} \ F\\\\C = 31.84 \ \mu F[/tex]
Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor is 31.84 μF.
m_Cu * sh_CuA system consists of a copper tank whose mass is 13 kilogram , 4 kilogram of liquid water, and an electrical resistor of negligible mass. The system is insulated on its outer surface. Initially, the temperature of the copper is 27 degC and the temperature of the water is 50 degC . The electrical resistor transfers 100 kilojoule to the system. Eventually the system comes to equilibrium. Determine the final equilibrium temperature, in ∘C.
Answer:
T₂ = 49.3°C
Explanation:
Applying law of conservation of energy to the system we get the following equation:
Energy Supplied by Resistor = Energy Absorbed by Tank + Energy Absorbed by Water
E = mC(T₂ - T₁) + m'C'(T'₂ - T'₁)
where,
E = Energy Supplied by Resistor = 100 KJ = 100000 J
m = mass of copper tank = 13 kg
C = Specific Heat of Copper = 385 J/kg.°C
T₂ = Final Temperature of Copper Tank
T₁ = Initial Temperature of Copper Tank = 27°C
T'₂ = Final Temperature of Water
T'₁ = Initial Temperature of Water = 50°C
m' = Mass of Water = 4 kg
C' = Specific Heat of Water = 4179.6 K/kg.°C
Since, the system will come to equilibrium finally. Therefor: T'₂ = T₂
Therefore,
(100000 J) = (13 kg)(385 J/kg.°C)(T₂ - 27°C) + (4 kg)(4179.6 J/kg.°C)(T₂ - 50°C)
100000 J = (5005 J/°C)T₂ - 135135 J + (16718.4 J/°C)T₂ - 835920 J
100000 J + 135135 J + 835920 J = (21723.4 J/°C)T₂
(1071055 J)/(21723.4 J/°C) = T₂
T₂ = 49.3°C

In a nutshell, units of A and B are [tex]\frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex], respectively.
Explanation:
From Dimensional Analysis we understand that [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] have length units ([tex][l][/tex]) and [tex]t[/tex] have time units ([tex][t][/tex]). Then, we get that:
[tex][l] = A\cdot [l]^{3}[/tex] (Eq. 1)
[tex][l] = B\cdot [t][/tex] (Eq. 2)
Now we finally clear each constant:
[tex]A = \frac{[l]}{[l]^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex]
In a nutshell, units of A and B are [tex]\frac{1}{[l]^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{[l]}{[t]}[/tex], respectively.
Why does the brightness of a bulb not change noticeably when you use longer copper wires to connect it to the battery?
a. All the current is used up in the bulb, so the connecting wires don't matter.
b. Very little energy is dissipated in the thick connecting wires.
c. Electric field in the connecting wires is zero, so emf = E_bulb * L_bulb.
d. Current in the connecting wires is smaller than current in the bulb.
e. The electric field in connecting wires is very small, so emf almost = E_ bulb * L_bulb.
Answer:
Options B & E are correct
Explanation:
Looking at all the options, B & E are the correct ones.
Option B is correct because the thicker the wire per unit length, the lesser resistance it will posses and the lesser the energy that will be dissipated by the wire and in return more energy will be dissipated by the bulb.
Option E is also correct because the resistance of the copper wires is low enough to ensure that there's not much drop in voltage across the copper wires. Thus, there will not be any noticeable differences in the voltage across the bulb.
Option A is not correct because the current is not used up and thus the charge is conserved, and it will circulate just through the circuit.
Option C is not correct because although the Electric field along the wire is not zero, it is very small.
Option D is not correct because the wires and the light bulb are connected in series and as such, the current in both the wires and the light bulb will be identical.
The brightness of a bulb that not change noticeably when you use longer copper wires to connect it to the battery is :
b. Very little energy is dissipated in the thick connecting wires.
e. The electric field in connecting wires is very small, so emf almost = E_ bulb * L_bulb.
"Energy"The brightness of a bulb that not change noticeably when you use longer copper wires to connect it to the battery is very little energy is dissipated in the thick connecting wires and the electric field in connecting wires is very small, so emf almost = E_ bulb * L_bulb.
The thicker the wire per unit length, the lesser resistance it'll posses and the lesser the vitality that will be scattered by the wire and in return more vitality will be disseminated by the bulb.
The resistance of the copper wires is low sufficient to guarantee that there's not much drop in voltage over the copper wires. Hence, there will not be any noticeable contrasts within the voltage over the bulb.
Thus, the correct answer is B and E.

= 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ T
angle of deflection of solenoid = 22.9°
Tan 22.9 = B /H
.422 = 194.81 x 10⁻⁷ / H
H = 461.63 x 10⁻⁷ T
= .46 x 10⁻⁴ T .
A) The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface
B) The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
A) The compass needle held horizontally points in a North-south direction of the earth and also deflects eastwards when current is allowed to flow through it. The deflection of the needle indicates the presence/generation of a magnetic field on the earth surface. which is facilitated by the flow of the current in the wire towards the Earth's surface
B) Determine The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field
B ( magnetic field ) = 10⁻⁷ * 2I / d ---- ( 1 )
where : l = 26.3 A, d = 0.27 m
Back to equation ( 1 )
B = 10⁻⁷ * 2 * 26.3 / 0.27
= 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ T
Final step : Calculate the magnitude of horizontal component ( H )
Tan ∅ = B / H ---- ( 2 )
where : ∅ ( angle of deflection ) = 22.9°
∴ H = B / Tan ( 22.9° )
= ( 194.81 * 10⁻⁷ ) / 0.422
= 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
Hence we can conclude that The current in the wire flows towards the Earth's surface and The magnitude of the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is : 0.46 x 10⁻⁴ T
