Title: Naved's Questions
Post by: naved_s9994 on June 07, 2009, 09:20:32 pm
A bicycle accelerates from rest, covering 16m in 4 seconds. The total mass of the bicycle
and its rider is 90Kg. What is its average acceleration?

The mass is irrelevant.

d=1/2 at^2
d=16
t=4
16=16/2 *a
16=8a
a=2

Thanks so much, yes and the solution is correct

AC and DC questions arnt in electronics anymore....are they???

What do you mean by AC and DC questions? Or do you mean just general knowledge?

AC and DC questions will never be taken out of electronics :P

serz...but they werent in heinemass text
as in DC signal displayed on CRO screen

v rms?

Yes , they are on the course.

could you explain v rms formula..
and is dc, if displayed through a graph a straight line ( direct currect)
and ac is, like a sin wave? (alternative current?)

Yes, sometimes when AC is combined with DC, it is shifted vertically upwards, ie, AC and DC components.

V_rms s the average voltage

Good thread on RMS, check it out naved  8-)

any formula.. it was something like square root 2 something....

I.e Vrms = Vpeak/ (2^1/2)
Title: Re: Naved's Questions
Post by: simplicity123 on June 08, 2009, 08:27:29 am
just adding on to the topic of Vrms, what types of question do u think we can expect? I havent really seen too many Vrms questions in trial exams or my textbook..

using in formulas are only in further electronics for unit 3. But they are also in the Electric power section of unit 4 so you will learn it then.

lol if we are working out gain for an inverted amplifier, do we actually put the negative in the answer or because it is a ratio do we leave it as positive.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

the TSFX guy said leave it because gain has no units (which is not what my teacher says) =[

its just the solutions for the itute prac 2009 exam has a negative infront of the answer for gain. So yeah just wanted to confirm.

how would you  define the effects of air resistance on an object
Title: Re: Naved's Questions
Post by: Damo17 on June 08, 2009, 10:11:58 am
how would you  define the effects of air resistance on an object

in most cases you are told to disregard air resistance. The only place it will possibly come up on is a projectile motion question just asking what the affect of air resistance is on the distance traveled of the projectile which you would have worked out from a previous question. In this case air resistance shortens the projectiles distance traveled.

Also when there are questions asking the net force acting on an object (and there are arrows to choose from) when airbourne in projectile motion or whatever, it will be angled slightly towards the left (if fired from the left) as opposed to straight down

Post by: naved_s9994 on June 08, 2009, 10:15:27 am
or could a better way perhaps, be to say shortens the range - like making it technicaal language??

Thanks damo17

From STUDY DESIGN 2009 onward.

How to describe the transfer of information in analogue form (not including the technical aspects of
modulation and demodulation)  - using light intenstiy modulation and demodulation?

This can get technical thats why ive posted it here.
