1) An ac source of period T and maximum voltage V is connected to a single unknown ideal element that is either a resistor, and

inductor, or a capacitor. At time t = 0 the voltage is zero and increasing toward a maximum. At time t = T/4 the current in the unknown element is equal to zero and at time t = T/2 the current is I = -Imax (where Imax is the maximum current amplitude). What is the unknown element?

Answer: Capacitor

Explanation:

Given the following ;

At time, t = T/4 ; I = 0

At time, t = T/2 ; I = - Imax

Where T = period

We can confirm what the unknown element is by using the relation, such that the parameters satisfy the stated condition ;

Recall;

I = Iosin(wt + π/2) [for CAPACITOR]

w = 2π/T

At t = T/4

I = Iosin(2π/T(T/4) + π/2)

I = Iosin(π/2 + π/2)

I = Iosin(0)

I = 0

At t = T/2

I = Iosin(2π/T(T/2) + π/2)

I = Iosin(π + π/2)

I = Iosin(0)

I = Iosin(3π/2)

I = Iosin(540/2)

I = Iosin(270)

I = -Io

Note : Io = Imax

Both conditions are met, Hence, the unknown element is a CAPACITOR.

A 185 g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.60 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

d = 5.10 m

Explanation:

As we know that here on the plane of the inclined there is no frictional force

So in these cases we can say that total mechanical energy will always remains conserved

so here we can say that

spring potential energy = gravitational potential energy of the block

as we know from the formula

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh

now plug in the values in it

\frac{1}{2}(1.60 \times 10^3)(0.10)^2 = (0.185)(9.81)h

8 = 1.81 h

h = 4.42 m

now as we know that the angle of inclination is 60 degree and height raised is 4.42 m

so here maximum distance moved along the inclined plane will be

\frac{h}{d} = sin60

d = \frac{h}{sin60}

d = \frac{4.42}{sin60} = 5.10 m

How does radiation transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves

Explanation:

There are three types of transfer of heat (thermal energy):

- Conduction: conduction occurs when two objects/two substances are in contact with each other. The heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder object by the collisions between the molecules of the two mediums.

- Convection: convection occurs when a fluid is heated by an external source of heat. The part of the fluid closer to the heat source gets warmer, therefore it becomes less dense and it rises, and it is replaced by the colder part of the fluid, which is colder. Then, this part of fluid is heated as well, so it gets warmer, it rises, etc.. in a cycle.

- Radiation: radiation occurs when thermal energy is carried by electromagnetic waves. Since electromagnetic waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is the only method of heat transfer that can occur through a vacuum (so, in space as well).

Indeed, the Sun emits a lot of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space and eventually reaches the Earth, heating it.

The density of a hippo is approximately 1030kg/m^3,so it sinks to the bottom of the freshwater lakes and rivers. A 1500kg hippo
hram777 [196]

Answer:

14,700 N

Explanation:

The hyppo is standing completely submerged on the bottom of the lake. Since it is still, it means that the net force acting on it is zero: so, the weight of the hyppo (W), pushing downward, is balanced by the upward normal force, N:

W-N=0 (1)

the weight of the hyppo is

W=mg=(1500 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=14,700 N

where m is the hyppo's mass and g is the gravitational acceleration; therefore, solving eq.(1) for N, we find

N=W=14,700 N

Commercial airliners encounter very little turbulence above 25,000 feet because the air is so thin at altitudes above 25,000 feet that turbulence has much less effect. That is option A.

<h3>What is turbulence?</h3>

A turbulence is a sudden disturbance that an airline encounters when it hits a strong wind current that can push or pull the plane.

The depth at which the airline flies determines whether the turbulence will have little or more effects on it.

At altitudes above 25,000 feet the air is so thin and light than below 25,000 feet therefore, the airline will encounter little turbulence effect.

Calculate the volume of a 5-g sample of pure gold
Bond [772]
  • Answer:

<em>≈ 0.26 cm³</em>

  • Explanation:

<em>Hi there !</em>

<em>Gold is a metal with a very high density.</em>

<em>The density of gold is higher than that of lead.</em>

<em>Density(gold) = 19300 kg/m³ = 19.3 g/cm³</em>

<em />

<em>19.3 g ............ 1 cm³</em>

<em>5 g ..................x cm³</em>

<em>x = 5g×1cm³/19.3g = 0.2590 cm³ ≈ 0.26 cm³</em>

<em>Good luck ! </em>
