    How to determine the position of the slider on a potentiometer

    Homework Statement This circuit shows a 10Kohm potentiomiter with a 5Kohm load. determine the position of the slider on the 'pot' when the voltage acreoss points 'xx' is 3V ok so the 10K resistor is a potentiometer which is a variable resistor, so what they are asking when they say...

    How to work out frictional torque

    OK so Linear accereration = V/T =0.33/1.5 = 0.22 Angular acceleration = 2 (D-VoT)/T(2) = A A = 2(0.5-0)/1.5(2) = 0.44 Angular acceleration = 0.44 VF= final velocity VF=Vi+AT VF=0+0.44X1.5 VF=0.66 Moment of inertia = =MXradius of gyration (2) =0.5X0.212(2) = 0.022472...

    How to work out frictional torque

    Apologise in advance I'm not good at these D=vot+0.5at2 =0.5=0x1.5+0.5xax1.5(2) =0.5=0.5xax1.5(2) =ax1.5(2)=0.5/0.5 =ax1.5(2)=1 =a=1/1.5(2) =a=1/2.25 =a=0.44 Cheers

    How to work out frictional torque

    I see I guess I have to make a the subject? •d = vo • t + 0.5 • a • t2 I'm not very good at this D-1/2xaxt2=v1xt 1/2xaxt2=[v1xt2]+d So 1/2a = (v1xt2)+d/t2 How does that look? Also by t2 are they referring to time again? Cheers

    How to work out frictional torque

    •d = vo • t + 0.5 • a • t2 •vf = vo + a • t •vf2 = vo 2 + 2 • a • d •d = (vo + vf)/ 2 • t where •d = displacement •t = time •a = acceleration •vo = original or initial velocity •vf = final velocity these are the only kinematic equations i could find. seems hard to find the final...

    How to work out frictional torque

    I see that makes sense. I am struggling to figure out maximum velocity. How about this VMAX Potential energy of mass = MGH =0.5X9.81X0.5 = 2.45 J Kinetic energy at bottom = potential energy at top...

    How to work out frictional torque

    could the tension in the rope simply be mass X acceleration = 5 X 0.219 = 1.095 or does gravity have to play a part? would this make more sense? tension = mass X (gravity X acceleration) = 5 X(9.81 X 0.219) = 10.74 ?

    How to work out frictional torque

    Ok so this is were I am so far after taking your advise Linear acceleration = mass max velocity – initial velocity/ time = 0.33-0/1.5 = 0.22 ms -2 Angular acceleration = max wheel speed – initial wheel speed / time Max wheel speed = velocity / radius = 0.33/0.3 = 1.1 rad s -1...

    How to work out frictional torque and resisting motion

    how to work out "frictional torque" and "resisting motion" Hi there, if I have a scenario were a Mass is suspended from a flywheel. If the mass is released from rest and falls a distance in an amount of time. how would i work out the frictional torque and resisting motion does...

    How to work out frictional torque

    also, can you work out torque by: Mass X radius of pulley (0.5X9.81(gravity))X0.3 = 1.4715N

    How to work out frictional torque

    how to work out "frictional torque" A Mass of 0.5 kg is suspended from a flywheel. If the mass is released from rest and falls a distance of 0.5 m in 1.5 s, calculate the tension on the rope the frictional torque, resisting motion Mass of flywheel = 3 kg radius of wheel = 300mm radius...

    Need guidance finding the total energy expanded in acceleration

    also i have tryed working out: velocity = distance/ time = 5/0.92 = 5.43 ms -1 acceleration = change of velocity / time taken = 0 - 5.43 (final velocity) / 0.92 which is 5.902 m s -2

    Need guidance finding the total energy expanded in acceleration

    Homework Statement this is the scenario A horizontal force of 80N acts on a mass of 6 Kg resting on a horizontal surface. The mass is initially at rest and covers a distance of 5m in 0.92s under the action of the force. Assuming there are no energy losses due to air resistance and...
