Answer:

2 J

Explanation:

A charged capacitor of capacitance C_1 with energy of 7.54 J, is connected in parallel with another capacitor C_2 , so the charge is equally distributed between them.

(a) The energy stored in the capacitor before it being connected to the other capacitor is:

U_O=q_0^2/2C_1=7.54 J\\

The energy stored in the electric field is the sum of the energies of the two capacitors:

U=U_1+U_2\\U=q_1^2/2C_1+q_2^2/2C_2

since the charge equally distributed,  q_1 = q_2 = q_o/2. and since they are connected in parallel the potential difference on both of them is the same :

V_1=V_2\\q_1/C_1=q_2/C_2\\q_0/C_1=q_0/C_2\\C_1=C_2=C_3\\

hence,

U=q_0^2/8C+q_0^2/8C\\U=q_0^2/4C\\U=2J

The average velocity of blood flowing in a certain 4-mm-diameter artery in the human body is 0.28 m/s. The viscosity and density
OLga [1]

Answer:

V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s

Explanation:

The volume flow rate of the blood in the artery can be given by the following formula:

V = Av

where,

V = Volume flow rate = ?

A = cross-sectional area of artery = πd²/4 = π(0.004 m)²/4 = 1.26 x 10⁻⁵ m²

v = velcoity = 0.28 m/s

Therefore,

V = (1.26\ x\ 10^{-5}\ m^2)(0.28\ m/s)

<u>V = 3.5 x 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 3.5 cm³/s</u>

Manipulate p+x=r to solve for x
Tanzania [10]
X=r-p. Maybe I don't understand, but I am assuming that you need to isolate for X? you simply subtract p from both sides.<span />

Why can work be thought of as the transfer of energy? Please help it's physics
deff fn [24]
That is because work requires energy. According to the law of conservation of energy, it cannot be created or destroyed. When doing work, energy change forms and gets transferred to the object until it is released.
for example, when you lift up an object and place it on a higher elevation, you transferred energy to it and gave it potential energy. The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy when the object falls down, and if it hits a surface, the energy will scatter, vibrating the areas around it and producing sound.
Also, work= force X distance. The energy does not go away, but rather get changed into some other form of energy

What kind of scattering (Rayleigh, Mie, or non-selective) would you expect to be most important when radiation of the specified
oee [108]

Answer:

hello your question is not properly arranged attached below is the arranged table and solution

answer : attached table below

Explanation:

Given data:

02 molecules size = 10^-10m

smoke particles size = 0.3 mm

cloud droplets size = 20 mm

Rain droplets size = 3 mm

Attached below is a table showing the kind of scattering that is expected to occur at various wave lengths

Note : For Rayleigh scattering the wave particle is smaller than the wave length while for Non-selective scattering the wave particle is greater than the wavelength.

and  For Mie scattering the wavelength is the same as the wavelength.
