1. In 214 BC, Archimedes invented a large spherical-type mirror used to focus the sun's intense rays onto far away enemy boats, which would eventually light them on fire. If the boats were travelling in a nearby channel approximately 1,000 m from the river bank, what would the radius of curvature of his mirror need to be? Show your work.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2000 m

Explanation:

since the boat is 1000 m from the river bank, the beam must be focused at this point. This indicates that the focal length is 1000 m

for a spherical mirror, the focal length is given by

f = R/2

where R is the radius of curvature

1000 = R/2

R = 2000 m

R = 2000 m

this means that the radius of curvature must be 2000 m

Explanation:...

A block is supported on a compressed spring, which projects the block straight up in the air at velocity . The spring and ledge it sits on then retract. You can win a prize by hitting the block with a ball. When should you throw the ball and in what direction to be sure the ball hits the block? (Assume the ball can reach the block before the blochk reaches the ground and that the ball is thrown from a height equal to the release position of the block.)
A. At the instant when the block is at the highest point, directed at the spring.
B. At the instant when the block is at the highest point, directed at the block.
C. At the instant when the block leaves the spring, directed at the spring.
D. At the instant when the block leaves the spring, directed at the block.
E. When the block is back at the spring's original position, directed at that position.

Answers

Answer:

B. At the instant when the block is at the highest point, directed at the block.

Explanation:

Motion of an object is the change in the position of the object with respect to time. On the earth, gravity has a great influence on the motion of an object (especially in a vertical direction).

When the block is projected up in the air, it moves with a varying velocity until the velocity becomes zero due to gravity. Which make the object to rest a little in the air (when velocity = gravity) and starts to fall freely.

To ensure hitting the block by the ball, it is thrown at the block when the block is at its highest point in the air. Since the block would be at rest at this instant before it start to fall at a constant acceleration under gravity.

In Physics lab, a lab team places a cart on one of the horizontal, linear tracks with a fan attached to it. The cart is positioned at one end of the track, and the fan is turned on. Starting from rest, the cart takes 4.34 s to travel a distance of 1.62 m. The mass of the cart plus fan is 354 g. Assume that the cart travels with constant acceleration.
A) What is the net force exerted on the cart-fan combination?B) Mass is added to the cart until the total mass of the cart-fan combination is 762 g, and the experiment is repeated. How long does it take for the cart, starting from rest, to travel 1.62 m now?

Answers

Answer:

A. F = 0.06 N

B. t = 6.37 s

Explanation:

A)

First we need to find the constant acceleration of the cart. For this purpose, we use 2nd equation of motion:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = 1.62 m

Vi = 0 m/s   (Since, it starts from rest)

t = Time Taken = 4.34 s

a = acceleration = ?

Therefore,

1.62 m = (0 m/s)(4.34 s) + (0.5)(a)(4.34 s)²

1.62 m/9.4178 s² = a

a = 0.172 m/s²

Now, from Newton's Second law, we know that:

F = ma

where,

F = Net Force of the combination = ?

m = Mass pf combination = 354 g = 0.354 kg

Therefore,

F = (0.354 kg)(0.172 m/s²)

F = 0.06 N

B)

Now, for the same force, but changed mass = 762 g = 0.762 kg, we have the acceleration to be:

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 0.06 N/0.762 kg

a = 0.08 m/s²

Now, using  2nd equation of motion:

s = (Vi)(t) + (0.5)at²

1.62 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (0.5)(0.08 m/s²)t²

t² = 1.62 m/(0.04 m/s²)

t = √40.54 s²

t = 6.37 s

Answers

Answer:

47.8rad/s

Explanation:

For energy to be conserved.

The potential energy sustain by the object would be equal to K.E

P.E = m× g× h = 2 × 9.81× 3.5= 68.67J

Now K.E = 1/2 × I × (w1^2 - w0^2)

I = 2/3 × M × R2

= 2/3 × 2 × (0.23)^2= 0.0705

Hence

W1 = final angular velocity

Wo = initial angular velocity

From P.E = K.E we have;

68.67J = 1/2 × 0.0705 × (w1^2 - w0^2)

(w1^2 - w0^2) = 1948.09

W1^2 = 1948.09 + (18.3^2)

W1^2=2282.98

W1 = √2282.98

=47.78rad/s

= 47.8rad/s to 1 decimal place.

A parallel-plate capacitor has square plates that are 7.20 cm on each side and 3.40 mm apart. The space between the plates is completely filled with two square slabs of dielectric, each 7.20 cm on a side and 1.70 mm thick. One slab is Pyrex glass and the other slab is polystyrene. If the potential difference between the plates is 96.0 V, find how much electrical energy (in nJ) can be stored in this capacitor.

Answers

Answer:

U = 218 nJ

Explanation:

We are given;

Spacing between the plates; d = 3.4 mm = 3.4 × 10^(-3) m

Voltage across the capacitor; V = 96 V

Dimension of the square plates is 7.2cm x 7.2cm.

So, Area = 7.2 × 7.2 = 51.84 cm² = 51.84 × 10^(-4) m²

Permittivity of free space; ε_o = 8.85 × 10^(-12) C²/N.m²

From relative permeability table;

Dielectric constant of Pyrex; k1 = 5.6

Dielectric constant of polystyrene; k2 = 2.56

Now, formula for capacitance of a capacitor with Dielectric is;

C = kC_o

Where, C_o = ε_o(A/d)

Since there are 2 capacitors, d will now be d/2 = (3.4 × 10^(-3))/2 m = 1.7 × 10^(-3)

Since we have 2 capacitor, thus ;

C1 = k1*ε_o*(A/d)

C1 = (5.6 × 8.85 × 10^(-12) × (51.84 × 10^(-4))/(1.7 × 10^(-3))

C1 = 1.51 × 10^(-10) F

Similarly;

C2 = (2.56 × 8.85 × 10^(-12) × (51.84 × 10^(-4))/(1.7 × 10^(-3))

C2 = 0.691 × 10^(-10) F

For capacitors in series, formula for total capacitance(Cs) is;

1/Cs = (1/C1) + (1/C2)

Simplifying this, we have;

Cs = (C1*C2)/(C1 + C2)

Plugging in the relevant values ;

Cs = (1.51 × 10^(-10)*0.691 × 10^(-10))/((1.51 × 10^(-10)) + (0.691 × 10^(-10)))

Cs = 0.474 × 10^(-10) F

The formula for energy stored in a capacitor with 2 Dielectrics is given as;

U = ½Cs*V²

So,

U = ½ × 0.474 × 10^(-10) × 96²

U = 2.18 × 10^(-7) J = 218 × 10^(-9) = 218 nJ

A gas in a closed container is heated with 12J of energy, causing the lid of the container to rise 3m with 5N of force. What is the total change in energy?

Answers

Answer:

27J

Explanation:

From conservation of Thermal energy, the total internal energy is the total sum of energy supplied or taken from the system plus work done for or on the system.

Now the change in internal energy would be the sum of the received energy substended in the gas plus the work done by the system which is workdone that it will sustend in pushing the lid. This is expressed mathematically as;

U = Q + (F×d);

U- change in internal energy

Q is the energy received by the system and is positive when energy is received by the system.

Fxd is the workdone and is positive since the gas pushes up the lid- the system does work.

U=12+(3×5)= 27J

Two hockey pucks, labeled A and B, are initially at rest on a smooth ice surface and are separated by a distance of 18.0 m . Simultaneously, each puck is given a quick push, and they begin to slide directly toward each other. Puck A moves with a speed of 3.90 m/s , and puck B moves with a speed of 4.30 m/s . What is the distance covered by puck A by the time the two pucks collide

Answers

Answer:

The distance covered by puck A before collision is  [tex]z = 8.56 \ m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The label on the two hockey pucks is  A and  B

    The distance between the  two hockey pucks is D   18.0 m

     The speed of puck A is  [tex]v_A = 3.90 \ m/s[/tex]

        The speed of puck B is  [tex]v_B = 4.30 \ m/s[/tex]

The distance covered by puck A is mathematically represented as

     [tex]z = v_A * t[/tex]

  =>  [tex]t = \frac{z}{v_A}[/tex]

 The distance covered by puck B  is  mathematically represented as

      [tex]18 - z = v_B * t[/tex]

=>   [tex]t = \frac{18 - z}{v_B}[/tex]

Since the time take before collision is the same

        [tex]\frac{18 - z}{V_B} = \frac{z}{v_A}[/tex]

substituting values

          [tex]\frac{18 -z }{4.3} = \frac{z}{3.90}[/tex]

=>      [tex]70.2 - 3.90 z = 4.3 z[/tex]

=>       [tex]z = 8.56 \ m[/tex]

A 0.150 kg lump of clay is dropped from a height of 1.45 m onto the floor. It sticks to the floor and does not bounce.

What is the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the clay by the floor during the impact? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is =9.81 m/s2.

Answers

Answer:

J = 0.800 kg m/s

Fmax = 291 N

Explanation:

During the fall, energy is conserved.

PE = KE

mgh = ½ mv²

v = √(2gh)

v = √(2 × 9.81 m/s² × 1.45 m)

v = 5.33 m/s

Alternatively, you can use kinematics to find the velocity.

Impulse = change in momentum

J = Δp

J = mΔv

J = (0.150 kg) (5.33 m/s)

J = 0.800 kg m/s

Impulse = area under F vs t graph

J = ∫ F dt

J = ½ Fmax Δt

(0.800 kg m/s) = ½ Fmax (0.0055 ms)

Fmax = 291 N

A conducting bar with mass m and length L slides over horizontal rails that are connected to a voltage source.

Find the magnitude and direction of the net force on the conducting bar. Ignore friction, air resistance and electrical resistance :
A. v2m / ILB to yhe right
B. 3v2m /2 ILB to yhe left
C. 5v2m/ 2ILB to the right
D. v2m / 2ILB to the left

Answers

Answer:

F = ILB

Explanation:

To find the net force on the conducting bar you take into account the following expression:

[tex]\vec{F}=I( \vec{L}X \vec{B})[/tex]

I: current in the conducting bar

L: length of the bar

B: magnitude of the magnetic field

In this case the direction of the magnetic field and the motion of the bar are perpendicular between them. The direction of the bar is + i, and the magnetic field poits upward + k. The cross product of these vector give us the direction of the net force:

+i X +k = +j

The direction of the force is to the right and its magnitude is F = ILB

Constants Canada geese migrate essentially along a north-south direction for well over a thousand kilometers in some cases, traveling at speeds up to about 100 km/h. The one goose is flying at 100 km/h relative to the air but a 44 km/h wind is blowing from west to east.
1. At what angle relative to the north-south direction should this bird head so that it will be traveling directly southward relative to the ground?2. How long will it take the bird to cover a ground distance of 450 from north to south?

Answers

Answer:

a. 63.89°  in the north-southward manner

b.  2.2 sec

Explanation:

The goose is flying at 100 km/h

Air from east to west is 44 km/h

angle relative to the north-south direction for the bird to travel south will be

cos∅ = 44/100 = 0.44

∅ = [tex]cos^{-1}[/tex]0.44 = 63.89°  in the north-southward manner

Speed south relative to the ground will be v

Tan 63.89 = v/100

2.04 = v/100

v = 2.04 x 100 = 204 km/hr

to cover a distance of 450 m from north to south at this speed time will be

t = d/v = 450/204 = 2.2 sec

Astronauts are testing the gravity on a new planet. A rock is dropped between two photogates that are 0.5 meters apart. The first photogate reads a velocity of 1.2 m/s and the the second photogate reads a velocity of 4.3 m/s . What is the acceleration of gravity on this new planet?

Answers

Answer:

a = 17 m / s²

Explanation:

For this experiment that the astronauts are carrying out, the value of the relation of gravity is cosecant, therefore we can use the kinematic relations

         v² = v₀² + 2a y

They indicate the initial speed 1.2 m / s the final speed 4.3 m / s and the distance remembered 0.5 m

we clear

        a = (v² - v₀²) / 2y

we calculate

       a = (4.3² -1.2²) / 2 0.5

       a = 17 m / s²

this is the gravity of the new planet

Required:
Determine the coefficient of static friction between the car and the track.

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]0.608[/tex] (assuming that [tex]g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}[/tex].)

Explanation:

The question provided very little information about this motion. Therefore, replace these quantities with letters. These unknown quantities should not appear in the conclusion if this question is actually solvable.

Let [tex]m[/tex] represent the mass of this car.Let [tex]r[/tex] represent the radius of the circular track.

This answer will approach this question in two steps:

Step one: determine the centripetal force when the car is about to skid.Step two: calculate the coefficient of static friction.

For simplicity, let [tex]a_{T}[/tex] represent the tangential acceleration ([tex]1.90\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex]) of this car.

Centripetal Force when the car is about to skid

The question gave no information about the distance that the car has travelled before it skidded. However, information about the angular displacement is indeed available: the car travelled (without skidding) one-quarter of a circle, which corresponds to [tex]90^\circ[/tex] or [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex] radians.

The angular acceleration of this car can be found as [tex]\displaystyle \alpha = \frac{a_{T}}{r}[/tex]. ([tex]a_T[/tex] is the tangential acceleration of the car, and [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of this circular track.)

Consider the SUVAT equation that relates initial and final (tangential) velocity ([tex]u[/tex] and [tex]v[/tex]) to (tangential) acceleration [tex]a_{T}[/tex] and displacement [tex]x[/tex]:

[tex]v^2 - u^2 = 2\, a_{T}\cdot x[/tex].

The idea is to solve for the final angular velocity using the angular analogy of that equation:

[tex]\left(\omega(\text{final})\right)^2 - \left(\omega(\text{initial})\right)^2 = 2\, \alpha\, \theta[/tex].

In this equation, [tex]\theta[/tex] represents angular displacement. For this motion in particular:

[tex]\omega(\text{initial}) = 0[/tex] since the car was initially not moving.[tex]\theta = \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{2}[/tex] since the car travelled one-quarter of the circle.

Solve this equation for [tex]\omega(\text{final})[/tex] in terms of [tex]a_T[/tex] and [tex]r[/tex]:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\omega(\text{final}) &= \sqrt{2\cdot \frac{a_T}{r} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}}\end{aligned}[/tex].

Let [tex]m[/tex] represent the mass of this car. The centripetal force at this moment would be:

[tex]\begin{aligned}F_C &= m\, \omega^2\, r \\ &=m\cdot \left(\frac{\pi\, a_T}{r}\right)\cdot r = \pi\, m\, a_T\end{aligned}[/tex].

Coefficient of static friction between the car and the track

Since the track is flat (not banked,) the only force on the car in the horizontal direction would be the static friction between the tires and the track. Also, the size of the normal force on the car should be equal to its weight, [tex]m\, g[/tex].

Note that even if the size of the normal force does not change, the size of the static friction between the surfaces can vary. However, when the car is just about to skid, the centripetal force at that very moment should be equal to the maximum static friction between these surfaces. It is the largest-possible static friction that depends on the coefficient of static friction.

Let [tex]\mu_s[/tex] denote the coefficient of static friction. The size of the largest-possible static friction between the car and the track would be:

[tex]F(\text{static, max}) = \mu_s\, N = \mu_s\, m\, g[/tex].

The size of this force should be equal to that of the centripetal force when the car is about to skid:

[tex]\mu_s\, m\, g = \pi\, m\, a_{T}[/tex].

Solve this equation for [tex]\mu_s[/tex]:

[tex]\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g}[/tex].

Indeed, the expression for [tex]\mu_s[/tex] does not include any unknown letter. Let [tex]g = 9.81\; \rm N\cdot kg^{-1}[/tex]. Evaluate this expression for [tex]a_T = 1.90\;\rm m \cdot s^{-2}[/tex]:

[tex]\mu_s = \displaystyle \frac{\pi\, a_T}{g} \approx 0.608[/tex].

With an increase in surface area, the evaporation rate increase . Take a clue from water placed on the ground and exposed to the atmosphere and that same quantity of water is placed in a cup. That on the floor would evaporate faster.

Similarly the higher the temperature a substance is subjected to the easier is it's rate of evaporation.

The point P is located on the positive y-axis at a distance y0 = 15 cm from the origin. The z-axis points out of the screen. Integrate your correct choice in part (b) over the length of the rod and choose the correct expression for the y-component of the electric field at point P.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the plastic rod extends from - L to + L .

consider a small length of dx on the rod on the positive x axis at distance x . charge on it =  λ dx where  λ is linear charge density .

It will create a field at point P on y -axis . Distance of point P

= √ x² + .15²

electric field at P due to small charged length

dE = k λ dx x  / (x² + .15² )

Its component along Y - axis

= dE cosθ where θ is angle between direction of field dE and y axis

= dE x .15 / √ x² + .15²

=  k λ dx  .15 / (x² + .15² )³/²

If we consider the same strip along the x axis at the same position  on negative x axis , same result will be found . It is to be noted that the component of field in perpendicular to y axis will cancel out each other . Now for electric field due to whole rod at point p , we shall have to integrate the above expression from - L to + L

E = ∫  k λ  .15  / (x² + .15² )³/² dx

=  k λ  x L / .15 √( L² / 4 + .15² )

b) The length of the rod:

[tex]E = \int\limits dx . k \lambda .15 / (x^2 + .15^2 )^{1/2} dx\\\\E= \frac{k \lambda * L}{0.15} \sqrt{( L^2 / 4 + .15^2 )[/tex]

Given:

d = 1.5 mλ = 2.5 nC/m

Let the plastic rod extends from - L to + L .Consider a small length of dx on the rod on the positive x axis at distance x . charge on it = λ dx where λ is linear charge density .It will create a field at point P on y -axis.

Distance of point P =[tex]\sqrt{x^2 + 0.15^2}[/tex]

How to calculate Electric Field?

E.F at P due to small charged length[tex]dE = \frac{ k \lambda x.dx}{(x^2 + .15^2 )}[/tex]

Its component along Y - axis = dE cosθ where θ is angle between direction of field dE and y axis

[tex]= \frac{dE x .15 }{\sqrt{x^2 + .15^2} }\\\\= \frac{k \lambda dx .15}{(x^2 + .15^2 )^{1/2}}[/tex]

If we consider the same strip along the x axis at the same position on negative x axis , same result will be found . We can say that the component of field in perpendicular to y axis will cancel out each other.

Now for electric field due to whole rod at point p , we shall have to integrate the above expression from - L to + L

[tex]E = \int\limits dx . k \lambda .15 / (x^2 + .15^2 )^{1/2} dx\\\\E= \frac{k \lambda * L}{0.15} \sqrt{( L^2 / 4 + .15^2 )}[/tex]

Since the conductor is neutral, the overall charge on the conductor must remain zero because positive charge is induced on close end to rod then equal and negaitve charge is induced on far end to rod.

Thus, overall charge still remains zero on conductor until touched by charged rod.

Assuming 100% efficient energy conversion, how much water stored behind a 50
centimeter high hydroelectric dam would be required to charge the battery?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The power rating of the battery isn't provided. But let us assume that it is one of the common batteries with ratings of 12 V and 50 A.h

Potential energy possessed by water at that height = mgh

m = mass of the water = ρV

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

V = volume of water = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = height of water = 50 cm = 0.5 m

Potential energy = ρVgh = 1000 × V × 9.8 × 0.5 = (4900V) J

Energy of the battery = qV

q = 50 A.h = 50 × 3600 = 180,000 C

V = 12 V

qV = 180,000 × 12 = 2,160,000 J

Energy = 2,160,000 J

At a 100% conversion rate, the energy of the water totally powers the battery

(4900V) = (2,160,000)

4900V = 2,160,000

V = (2,160,000/4900)

V = 440.82 m³

Hence, with our assumed power ratings for the battery (12 V and 50 A.h), 440.82 m³ of water at the given height of 50 cm would power the battery.

Incase the power ratings of the battery in the complete question is different, this solution provides you with how to obtain the correct answer, given any battery power rating.

A Michelson interferometer operating at a 400 nm wavelength has a 3.95-cm-long glass cell in one arm. To begin, the air is pumped out of the cell and mirror M2 is adjusted to produce a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. Then a valve is opened and air is slowly admitted into the cell. The index of refraction of air at 1.00 atmatm pressure is 1.00028.

Required:
How many bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed as the cell fills with air?

Answers

Answer:

55.3

Explanation:

The computation of the number of bright-dark-bright fringe shifts observed is shown below:

[tex]\triangle m = \frac{2d}{\lambda} (n - 1)[/tex]

where

d = [tex]3.95 \times 10^{-2}m[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = 400 \times 10^{-9}m[/tex]

n = 1.00028

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the  number of bright-dark-bright fringe shifts observed is

[tex]= \frac{2 \times3.95 \times 10^{-2}m}{400 \times 10^{-9}m} (1.00028 - 1)[/tex]

= 55.3

We simply applied the above formula so that the number of bright dark bright fringe shifts could come

A tuning fork is held over a resonance tube, and resonance occurs when the surface of the water is 12 cm below the top of the tube. Resonance occurs again when the water is 34 cm below the top of the tube. If the air temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, find the frequency of the tuning fork.

Answers

Answer:

786 Hz

Explanation:

Recall, the speed of sound is

v = 332 + 0.6t

Where t = 23°

v = 332 + 0.6(23)

v = 332 + 13.8

v = 345.8 m

Also, it is known that distance between two consecutive resonance length is half of the wavelength.

L2 - L1 = λ/2

34 - 12 = λ/2

λ/2 = 22

λ = 44 cm

Finally, remember that also

Frequency = speed/ wavelength

Frequency = 345.8/0.4

Frequency = 786 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the tuning fork is 786 Hz

1. How is it possible to use pools to model apparent weightlessness, similar to what astronauts
experience on the Moon or on the space station? Explain ​

Answers

Answer:

by using it's buoyant or floating effect by Archimedes.

the buoyant force act on the astronauts body and make he/ she feels like in low gravity.

the buoyant force equation is

F = Density of liquid x earth gravitational field x volume of astronauts body and suit.

the Weight of astronauts in the pools will be less than in the land or air.

Weight in water = weight in air/land - buoyant force

so the astronauts will feel like in the outer space with low gravity.

Find the displacement of a simple harmonic wave of amplitude 6.44 m at t = 0.71 s. Assume that the wave number is 2.34 m-1, the angular frequency is 2.88 rad/s, and that the wave is propagating in the +x direction at x = 1.21 m.

B) 1.05 m.
C) 3.54 m.
D) 2.25 m.

Answers

Answer:

Letter A. [tex]y=4.55 m[/tex]

Explanation:

Let's use the wave equation:

[tex]y=Asin(kx-\omega t)[/tex]

A is the amplitude (A=6.44 m)t is the time (t=0.71 s)k is the wave number (k=2.34 1/m)ω is the angular frequency (ω=2.88 rad/s)x is the propagation of the x direction  (x=1.21 m)

Therefore the displacement y will be:

[tex]y=6.44*sin(2.34*1.21-2.88*0.71)[/tex]

[tex]y=4.55 m[/tex]

The answer is letter A.

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

Explanation:

Find the displacement of a simple harmonic wave of amplitude 6.44 m at t = 0.71 s. Assume that the wave number is 2.34 m-1, the angular frequency is 2.88 rad/s, and that the wave is propagating in the +x direction at x = 1.21 m.

Amplitude (A) of the simple harmonic wave = 6.44 m

wave number (k) of the given wave = 2.34 m-1

Angular frequency (ω) of the given wave = 2.88 rad/s

Displacement x = 1.21 m and time t = 0.71 s

Then the general equation for the displacement of the given simple harmonic wave at given x and time t is given by

y = Asin(kx - ωt)

= (6.44 m)sin[(2.34 m-1)(1.21 m) - (2.88 rad/s)(0.71 s)]

Y=6.44sin(0.7866 rad)

0.7866rad*(180 degrees/pi rad) =45.1

Y=6.44sin(45.1)

Y=4.55m

The current through an inductor of inductance L is given by I(t) = Imax sin(ωt).
(a) Derive an expression for the induced emf in the inductor as a function of time.
(b) At t = 0, is the current through the inductor increasing or decreasing?
(c) At t = 0, is the induced emf opposing or aiding the flow of the charge carriers? (Remember that the direction of a positive induced emf is the same as the current direction and the direction of a negative induced emf is opposite the current direction.)
(d) How are the answers to parts b and c consistent with the behavior of inductors discussed in the text?

Answers

Answer:

(a) [tex]emf_L=-LI_{max}\omega cos(\omega t)[/tex]

(b) neither increasing or decreasing

(c) opposite to the flow of charge carriers

Explanation:

The current through an inductor of inductance L is given by:

[tex]I(t)=I_{max}sin(\omega t)[/tex]   (1)

(a) The induced emf is given by the following formula

[tex]emf_L=-L\frac{dI}{dt}[/tex]    (2)

You derivative the expression (1) in the expression (2):

[tex]emf_L=-L\frac{d}{dt}(I_{max}sin(\omega t))\\\\emf_L=-LI_{max}\omega cos(\omega t)[/tex]

(b) At t=0 the current is zero

(c) At t = 0 the emf is:

[tex]emf_L=-\omega LI_{max}[/tex]

w, L and Imax have positive values, then the emf is negative. Hence, the induced emf is opposite to the flow of the charge carriers.

(d) read the text carefully

At t zero,  the current through the inductor neither increasing nor decreasing because current is zero.

The current through an inductor of inductance L can be calculated by

[tex]\bold {I_t = I_m_a_x sin (\omega t)}[/tex].........1  

(a) The induced emf can be calculated by  

[tex]\bold {emf_L = - L \dfrac {dI}{dt}}[/tex]............2  

Derivative the equation (1) in the equation (2)

[tex]\bold {emf _L= -L \dfrac {d (I _m_a_x sin (\omega t)} {dt}}\\\\\bold {emf _L= -L (I _m_a_x \omega cos( \omega t) }[/tex]

(b) At t=0 the current is zero,

 

(c) At t = 0 the emf is:

[tex]\bold {emf_L = -\omega LI _m_a_x}[/tex]  

Therefore, at t zero,  the current through the inductor neither increasing nor decreasing because current is zero.
