An air conditioner of 2kw is used in an electric circuit having a fuse of 10a rating. if the potential difference of the supply is 220 v, will the fuse be able to withstand, when the air conditioner is switched on? justify your answer.

Consider an insulating crystal, made up of layers of atoms. what form would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon heat capacity to approach at extremely low temperatures if the interlayer coupling is i)very strong (rigid coupling), and ii) very weak. explain.

Electric field of the earth. the earth has a net electric charge that causes a field at points near its surface equal to 150 n> c and directed in toward the center of the earth. (a) what magnitude and sign of charge would a 60-kg human have to acquire to overcome his or her weight by the force exerted by the earth’s electric field? (b) what would be the force of repulsion between two people each with the charge calculated in part (a) and separated by a distance of 100 m? is use of the earth’s electric field a feasible means of flight? why or why not?

When the displacement of a mass on a spring is 12a the half of the amplitude, what fraction of the mechanical energy is kinetic energy? at what displacement, as a fraction of a, is the mechanical energy half kinetic and half potential?
