Physics
1 answer:
Y_Kistochka [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Comets are basically dusty snowballs which orbit the Sun. They are made of ices, such as water, carbon dioxide, ammonia and methane, mixed with dust. These materials came from the time when the Solar System was formed. Comets have an icy center (nucleus) surrounded by a large cloud of gas and dust (called the coma).

A series circuit consists of a 100-ω resistor, a 10.0-μf capacitor, and a 0.350-h inductor. the circuit is connected to a 120-v
Tpy6a [65]
Current will be I=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{Z}=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{\sqrt{ R^{2}+(X_{C}-X_{L})^{2}}}\\where~X_{c}=\dfrac{1}{j.\omega .C}~and~X_{L}=j.\omega.L~where~\omega=2.\pi f~and~f=60Hz
now just pluf in the values and Voila..

It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?
murzikaleks [220]

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp  nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood

An automobile starter motor has an equivalent resistance of 0.055 Ï and is supplied by a 12.0 v battery which has a 0.0305 Ï int
LiRa [457]
12 V is the f.e.m. \epsilon of the battery. The potential difference that is applied to the motor is actually the fem minus the voltage drop on the internal resistance r:
\epsilon - Ir
this is equal to the voltage drop on the resistance of the motor R:
RI
so we can write:
\epsilon - Ir = RI
and using r=0.0305~\Omega and R=0.055~\Omega we can find the current I:
I= \frac{\epsilon}{R+r}=140~A
