AI Thread Summary

To calculate the energy stored in a fully charged battery with a constant voltage of 4V and a capacity of 2 A-h, first convert the ampere-hours to coulombs, resulting in 7200 C. Using the formula for energy, which is Joules equals voltage multiplied by coulombs, the calculation is 4V multiplied by 7200 C. This results in an energy storage of 28800 J. The solution is confirmed to be correct.

Homework Statement

A battery with constant voltage of 4V and 2 A-h, find the energy (in jouls) stored in the battery when it is fully charged.

Homework Equations

A-h=3600 C
1 Joule= V*C.

The Attempt at a Solution

We have 2A-h=7200 C, and Joules are volt-couloumb, so we multiply to get that the the energy is : 4*2*3600=28800 J.

Am I correct ?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
