    Transformers and Impedance Matching

    Ok, I resolved all of the problems except this one: The intensity of solar radiation at the top of Earth's atmosphere is 1340 W/m3. Assuming that 60% of the incoming solar energy reaches Earth's surface and assuming that you absorb 50% of the incident energy, make an order-of-magnitude estimate...

    Transformers and Impedance Matching

    Hey all, any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated, I have attempted all but one(because I do not even know where to start). Homework Statement A 58.0 resistor, a 3.00 µF capacitor, and a 0.400 H inductor are connected in series to a 77.0 V (rms), 60.0 Hz source. (a)...

    How Does Ohm's Law Apply to Measuring Current and Voltage in Circuit Problems?

    I am currently stuck on these two problems dealing with ohm's law. I understand that a current is equal to 1/r(va-vb) but am lost in the question somehow. I do not know how to post the two figures so I will try my best to explain it. The figure for problem 1(a) has a 12 v car battery with the...

    Sources of musical sound problem

    Question: Organ pipe A, with both ends open, has a fundamental frequency of 450 Hz. The third harmonic of organ pipe B, with one end open, has the same frequency as the second harmonic of pipe A. Use 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air. a)How long is pipe A? b)How long is pipe B? I...

    Doppler effect ambulance problem

    Question: An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1300 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.44 m/s. After being passed, the cyclist hears a frequency of 1280 Hz. Use 343 m/s for the speed of sound in air. How fast is the ambulance moving? i set up the doppler equation...

    Static rock climber problem

    In Figure 12-38, a 50 kg rock climber is in a lie-back climb along a fissure, with hands pulling on one side of the fissure and feet pressed against the opposite side. The fissure has width w = 0.20 m, and the center of mass of the climber is a horizontal distance d = 0.40 m from the fissure...

    Solving Elasticity Problem: Weight & Columns

    A tunnel of length L = 154 m, height H = 7.4 m high, and width 6.1 m (with a flat roof) is to be constructed at distance d = 60 m beneath the ground. (See Figure 12-50.) The tunnel roof is to be supported entirely by square steel columns, each with a cross-sectional area of 960 cm2. The mass of...

    What are the methods for solving impulse and momentum problems?

    I got 0.0989 for the first problem, I am not sure if its in kilograms or grams and 0.875 for the second one. I know I got at least one problem out of the three assigned and presume it has to be one of these because the other is a multiple choice problem. Thanks in advance for any help.

    What are the methods for solving impulse and momentum problems?

    I am currently stuck on two problems: #1 A bat hits a moving baseball. If the bat delivers a net eastward impulse of 0.9 N-s and the ball starts with an initial horizontal velocity of 3.8 m/s to the west and leaves with a 5.3 m/s velocity to the east, what is the mass of the ball (in grams)...

    Find Work Done on 3.0kg Object: Calculation Explained

    Wouldnt that give me the velocity function? Am i supposed to have two integrals of 6t-8 with those bounds, add them up and multiply by the mass and original velocity function and then integrate from 0 to 3?

    Find Work Done on 3.0kg Object: Calculation Explained

    I followed the process as stated and keep getting a wrong solution for some reason, the following are the steps I took: x=3t^3-4t^2+3t (dx/dt)=3t^2-8t+3 (|d^2x/d^2t|)=6t+8. 3(6t+8)=18t+24=F V=3t^2-8t+3 (18t+24)(3t^2-8t+3)=54t^3-120t^2-138t+72=P(t) Integration of P(t)...

    Find Work Done on 3.0kg Object: Calculation Explained

    I don't really kow how to resolve my vector componets into something I can use the dot porudct for some reason. My force vector has one variable while my velocity vector is an exponential equation and am kinda clueless how to dot them.

    Find Work Done on 3.0kg Object: Calculation Explained

    I derived the velocity with respect to time from the function and then derived acceleration from the the velocity and multiplied the accerleration with the mass to find the force. I then multiplied the force with the velocity to find instantaneous power and integrated with respect to the...

    Find Work Done on 3.0kg Object: Calculation Explained

    Im sorry but for some reason I am not understanding the solution you stated. I still have a variable in my force equation after deriving the accerleration and don't understand what to do next. I understand that plugging in t=3 will give me the displacement that particle traveled in that...
