A double pulse test circuit, as shown below, has a DC-link voltage, VDC = 100 V and the inductor has a value of L = 200 μH. At t = 0, a gate-source voltage, vgs = 20 V is applied to the MOSFET, which is enough to turn it on. The vgs = 20 V is applied for the time period Ton after which it is turned down to vgs = 0 V for the time period Tof. There is no initial current stored in the inductor prior to t = 0. Describe what is the purpose of the double pulse test circuit, and what information can be derived from the use of the circuit? Explain the purpose of the diode in the double pulse test circuit, and what happens if it is removed? Sketch the currents iL, is and iD as a function of time. Calculate the time Ton required for the inductor current (iL) to be 20 A at the end of t = Ton Calculate how much energy is stored in the inductor L at t = Ton The MOSFET has a thermal resistance junction-to-case, Rsc = 0.8 K/W, case-to-heatsink Rcs = 1.2 K/W and heatsink-toambient RsA = 4 K/W. For a maximum junction temperature of TJ max = 175∘C and ambient temperature TA = 50∘C, what is the maximum allowed power dissipation ?

Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid flights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. (i) A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 3 km from the nearest point B on a straight shoreline, flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Points B and D are 10 km apart. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.2 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird fly in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? km from B (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules) per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized, determine a function for the ratio WL in terms of x, the distance from B to C. W/L = (c) What should the value of W/L be in order for the bird to fly directly to its nesting area D? (d) If the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the shore at a point 2 km from B, how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land?

A person drags a 30 kg box across the floor by pulling on a rope at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. a. Draw a system schema for this scenario. (Model the person and rope as a single object, and model the Earth and floor as a single object.) b. Your system schema above might show a single contact interaction between the floor and the box. However, if the floor is a rough surface, we will split this interaction into two different forces on our free body diagram: a force that is perpendicular to the surface and a force that is parallel to the surface. (We do this because these forces are due to different sorts of physical phenomena and we model them differently, as we will see later in the semester.) Draw a free body diagram for the box with the coordinate system on the right. Label all the forces like F→A on B c. Make a table of the x and y components of all the forces. d. Use your table to write a Newton's second law equation for the sum of the forces in both x and y directions. Do we know either the x component or the y component of the acceleration? If so, what is it? e. Suppose the force of gravity on the box is 300 N, the horizontal contact force is 120 N, and the force of the person pulling on the box is 160 N. Use this with your equations to determine any unknown forces and components of the acceleration. f. Assuming the acceleration you calculated is constant, how much time does it take for the person to pull the box a distance of 10 m if the box starts from rest?A person drags a 30 kg box across the floor by pulling on a rope at an angle of 20∘ above the horizontal. a.
