A.
because the nucleus contains protons and neutrons BUT neutrons are neutral and protons are positive, so the answer is A

Answer:

A. The nucleus contain protons, so it has a positive charge.

Explanation:

Nucleus is the dense core of an atom which contains protons and neutrons.

Protons have positive charge.

Neutrons have no charge.

Electrons are negatively charged.

But electrons are present in the energy level i.e. outside nucleus, that is why a nucleus contains positive charge.

A 20.0 μf capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 850 v. the terminals of the charged capacitor are then connected to

liberstina [14]

(a) $Q = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{C}$ ;
(b) $V_\text{final} = 5.31\times 10^{2}\;\text{V}$ ;
(c) $E_\text{final} = 4.52\;\text{J}$ ;
(d) $\Delta E = 2.82\;\text{J}$ .

All four values are in 3 sig. fig.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

(a)

$Q = C\cdot V = 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850\;\text{V} = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{J}$ .

(b)

Sum of the final charge on the two capacitors should be the same as the sum of the initial charge. Voltage of the two capacitors should be the same. That is:

$C_1\cdot V_\text{final} +C_2 \cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial}$ ;

$(C_1+C_2)\cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial}$ ;

$\displaystyle V_\text{final} = \frac{C_1}{C_1+C_2}\cdot V_\text{initial}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} = \frac{20.0\;\mu\text{F}}{20.0\;\mu\text{F} + 12.0\;\mu\text{F}} \times 850\;\text{V}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} =531\;\text{V}$ .

(c)

$\displaystyle E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C\cdot V^{2}$ .

$\displaystyle E_\text{final} = \frac{1}{2} (C_1 + C_2) \cdot {V_\text{final}}^{2} \\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (20.0\times 10^{-6} + 12.0\times 10^{-6}) \times 531.25\\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = 4.52\;\text{J}$ .

(d)

Initial energy of the system, which is the same as the initial energy in the $20.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor:

$\displaystyle E_\text{initial} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850^{2} = 7.225\;\text{J}$ .

Change in energy:

$\Delta E = 7.225\;\text{J} - 4.516\;\text{J} = 2.70\;\text{J}$ .

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 12.2 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108

quester [9]

Answer:

A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.

a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?

ANSWER: 2533 Hz

How do human population growth trends differ between developed nations and developing nations?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Replacement-Level Fertility

Another important population characteristic that differ btw develop nation and developing nations is relates to births is replacement-level fertility. Replacement-level fertility is the fertility rate that will result in the replacement of the parents in the population. Again, in an ideal world, the human replacement-level fertility rate would be exactly two. This would mean that each couple would produce two offspring that would replace them in the population. If this occurred, then the human population would stay at a stable rate
