Formula\ for\ density:\\\\
p=\frac{m}{V}\\p-density,\\m-mass,\\V-volume\\\\
Data:\\
m=50,4grams\\
V=57,9cm^3\\\\
p=\frac{50,4g}{57,9cm^3}=0,87\frac{g}{cm^3}\\\\Density\ of\ paraffin\ is\ equal\ to\ 0,87\frac{g}{cm^3}.

A 2.81 μF capacitor is charged to 1220 V and a 6.61 μF capacitor is charged to 560 V. These capacitors are then disconnected fro
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

756.88 Volts will be the potential difference across each capacitor.

Explanation:

Q=C\times V

Q = Charge on capacitor

C = Capacitance

V = Voltage across capacitor

Capacitance of first capacitor = C_1=2.81 \mu F=2.81\times 10^{-6} F

Charge of first capacitor = Q_1

Voltage across first capacitor = V_1=1220 V

Q_1=C_1V_1

Q_1=2.81\times 10^{-6} F\times 1220 V=0.0034282 C

Capacitance of first capacitor = C_2=6.61\mu F=6.61\times 10^{-6} F

Charge of second capacitor = Q_2

Voltage across first capacitor = V_2=560 V

Q_2=C_2V_2

Q_1=6.61\times 10^{-6} F\times 560 V=0.0037016 C

Both the capacitors are disconnected and positive plates are now connected to each other and the negative plates are connected to each other. These capacitors are connected in parallel combination.

Total charge = Q

Q =Q_1+Q_2=0.0034282 C+ 0.0037016 C=0.0071298 C

Total capacitance in parallel combination:

C_p=C_1+C_2=2.81\times 10^{-6} F+6.61\times 10^{-6} F=9.42\times 10^{-6} F

Potential across both capacitors = V

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{0.0071298 C}{9.42\times 10^{-6} F}=756.88 V

756.88 Volts will be the potential difference across each capacitor.

Unpolarized light is passed through three successive polaroid filters, each with its transmission axis at 32. 8° to the precedin
Oliga [24]

The percentage of light gets through three successive polarized filters is 24.9 %

From the question,

Given that,

Angle of transmission axis = 32.8°

The intensity of light emerging from the first polarizer is determined by the equation

I₁ = I₀ / 2

where I₀ ⇒ intensity of unpolarized light

The light emerging from the second polarizer can be mathematically represented by,

I₂ = I₁ x cos²θ

Substituting the values,

I₂ =( I₀/2) x cos²θ

  = (I₀/2) x cos² (32.8 )

  = (I₀/2) x 0.706

  = (0.706 / 2 ) x I₀

The light emerging from the third polarizer is represented as,

I₃ = I₂ x cos²θ

Substituting the values in the above equation,

I₃ = ( 0.706 / 2 ) I₀ x cos² (32.8)

  = (0.706 / 2 ) I₀ x 0.706

  = 0.249 I₀

The percentage of intensity of light  that gwts through with respect to the intensity of unpolarized light is given by the equation,

(I₃ / I₀) x 100

Substituting the values

[(0.249 x I₀) / I₀ ] x 100 = 24.9 %

Hence the percentage of light gets through is 24.9%

sweet-ann [11.9K]
Finding out the acceleration 12/3 = 4m/s^2
thus it is descending so the actual acceleration would be 9.8-4 = 5.8 m/s^2
the weight will be 90*5.8 = 522 N
522/9.8 = 53.2 kg

How big is this restoring force compared with the tensile force stretching the spring?
madam [21]

The restoring force on the spring is found to have exactly the same magnitude as the stretching force. Option D

<h3>What is the restoring force?</h3>

The restoring force is the force that seeks to restore the spring to its equilibrium position. It has the same magnitude as the stretching force but acts in opposite direction.

Thus, the restoring force on the spring is found to have exactly the same magnitude as the stretching force.

two forces 3N and 4N act on a body in a direction due north and due East respectively calculate their equivalent​
Lostsunrise [7]

Two forces 3N and 4N act on a body in a direction due north From East, the equilibrant's angle is given by \theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}=36.8^{\circ}.

<h3>What are equilibrium and resultant force?</h3>

The equilibrium force is the balanced force when the net force acting is zero and is the exact opposite of the consequent force. The resultant force is one single force replaced by numerous forces.

<h3>Briefing:</h3>

3N and 4N are the two forces pulling on a body.

The forces work along the North and the East, which are perpendicular to one another.

The resultant of the forces, which is provided by the equilibrant force,

R  = √(3)²+(4)²

R = 5N

From East, the equilibrant's angle is given by

\theta=\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}=36.8^{\circ}
