The value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

<h3>What is cosine of an angle?</h3>

The cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle.

The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90.

cos θ = sin(90 - θ)

For example, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°

cos 30 = sin(90 - 30)

cos 30 = sin 60

0.866 = 0.866

<h3>Cosine of an angle with respect to sides of a right triangle</h3>

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

adjacent side of the given right triangle is calculated as follows;

adj² = 10² - 2²

adj² = 100 - 4

adj² = 96

adj = √96

adj = 9.8

cos θ = 9.8/10

cos θ = 0.98

Thus, the value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1mm. To obtain an electric field of 2.0 × 10^6
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

3.536*10^-6 C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the charge is expresses as Q = CV

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the voltage across the capacitor

Get the capacitance

C = ε0A/d

ε0 is the permittivity of the dielectric = 8.84 x 10-12 F/m

A is the area = 0.2m²

d is the plate separation = 0.1mm = 0.0001m

Substitute

C = 8.84 x 10-12 * 0.2/0.0001

C = 1.768 x 10-8 F

Get the potential difference V

Using the formula for Electric field intensity

E = V/d

2.0 × 10^6  = V/0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^6  * 0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^2V

Get the charge on each plate.

Q = CV

Q =  1.768 x 10-8 * 2.0 × 10^2

Q = 3.536*10^-6 C

Hence the magnitude of the charge on each plate should be 3.536*10^-6 C

Assuming that each nucleus is roughlyspherical and that its mass is roughly equal to A (in atomic mass units {\rm u}), what is t
lara [203]

Answer:

ρ/ρ2 = 3 / R₀       the two densities are different

Explanation:

Density is defined as

       ρ = M / V

As the nucleus is spherical

       V = 4/3 π r³

Let's replace

      ρ = A / (4/3 π R₀³)

      ρ = ¾ A / π R₀³

b)

      ρ2 = F / area

The area of ​​a sphere is

     A = 4π R₀²

     ρ2 = F / 4π R₀²

     ρ2 = F / 4π R₀²

Atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleon in not very heavy nuclei. This number is equal to the number of neutrons, but changes in heavier nuclei, there are more neutrons than protons.

Let's look for the relationship of the two densities

     ρ/ρ2 = ¾ A / π R₀³ / (F / 4π R₀²)

     ρ /ρ2 = 3 (A / F) (1 / R₀)

In this case it does not say that the nucleon number is A (F = A), the relationship is

     ρ/ρ2 = 3 / R₀

I see that the two densities are different

True or false, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve the interaction of molecules with electromagnetic energy
zavuch27 [327]
Yes, it is true, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve interaction of molecules with electromagnetic waves. ;Mass spectrometry method is used to determine the mass of a substance while infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the functional groups in molecules. Both methods involve the analysis of electromagnetic light interaction with molecules.
