Answer:
Explanation:
False --> A cylindrical capacitor is essentially a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube. This is because a cylindrical capacitor comprises two cylinders.
False --> The dielectric constant indicates the distance by which the two plates of a capacitor are separated.
True --> The charge on a capacitor increases quickly at first, then much more slowly as the capacitor charges. This is because the charge on the capacitor increases exponentially.
False --> The voltage across a capacitor in an RC circuit increases linearly during charging. This is because the voltage increases exponentially.
True --> One of the principal purposes of a capacitor is to store electric potential energy.
True --> A capacitor charges rapidly when connected to an RC circuit with a battery. This is because a cylindrical capacitor is basically a parallel plate capacitor rolled into a tube.
Answer:
Distance is 5.0 km and displacement is 0 km.
Explanation:
The diagram is shown below.
Distance is the total length that the truck covers along the complete journey. The truck moves from a stone quarry covering a length of 2.5 km and then again come back to the same point and thus covering another 2.5 km. Therefore, the total length covered by the truck is the sum of forward and backward paths which is equal to 5.0 km.
Now, displacement depends only on the initial and final position. It is given as the difference of final position and initial position. So, the truck starts from stone quarry and returns back to the same position. So, the initial position and final position is same. Therefore, the difference is 0 and hence displacement is zero.
<h2>Answer: Stars</h2>
Most of the chemical elements of the Periodic Table were formed or "<em>forged</em>" in the different types of stars that exists in the universe in their different phases of life.
For example, a young star is composed mainly of Hydrogen, the simplest chemical substance and <u>the first in the Periodic Table</u>; being this the element that leads to the other known elements. Taking into account that the two components of each hydrogen atom (1 proton and 1 electron) are separated, the great pressure within the star manages to merge (fuse) two protons.
What does this mean?
Well, sometimes a proton captures an electron and becomes a neutron, but when two protons and two neutrons join together, they form the Helium nucleus, which is <u>the second element in the periodic table</u>. Then, when two helium nuclei join and form the nucleus of another element, Beryllium and so on.
So, by means of the nuclear fusion process the nuclei of most of the elements lighter than Iron (which is the chemical element 26 of the periodic table) can be formed.
Now, elements that are heavier than Iron can be forged within the stars through the capture of neutrons. In this way, the collapse of the star's center core occurs so quickly that it generates huge shock waves that eject the outer layers of the star into space becoming a <u>supernova</u>. Then, it is during the few seconds of collapse that the specific pressure and temperature conditions in the supernova are created and allow heavier elements to be generated and expelled as interstellar dust and gas.
In this sense, with the explosion of more<u> massive stars</u> and <u>white dwarfs</u> other chemical elements are formed, as well as others that are formed by <u>dying stars of low mass</u> and <u>neutron stars</u>.
However, it should be noted that there are also chemical elements that are artificially formed in experimental fusion nuclear reactors.
