A constellation, in astronomy, is a conventional grouping of stars, whose position in the night sky is apparently invariable. The peoples, generally of ancient civilizations, decided to link them through imaginary strokes, thus creating virtual silhouettes on the celestial sphere. From 1928, the International Astronomical Union (UAI) decided to officially regroup the celestial sphere into 88 constellations with precise limits, such that every point in the sky would be within the limits of a figure. When an astronomer says he saw a comet in Capricorn last night, it means that he saw a comet in the direction of the constellation of Capricorn.

The Young’s modulus of nickel is Y = 2 × 1011 N/m2 . Its molar mass is Mmolar = 0.059 kg and its density is rho = 8900 kg/m3 . G
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Atomic Size and Mass:

convert given density to kg/m^3 = 8900kg/m^3 2) convert to moles/m^3 (kg/m^3 * mol/kg) = 150847 mol/m^3 (not rounding in my actual calculations) 3) convert to atoms/m^3 (6.022^23 atoms/mol) = 9.084e28 atoms/m^3 4) take the cube root to get the number of atoms per meter, = 4495309334 atoms/m 5) take the reciprocal to get the diameter of an atom, = 2.2245e-10 m/atom 6) find the mass of one atom (kg/mol * mol/atoms) = 9.7974e-26 kg/atom Young's Modulus: Y=(F/A)/(dL/L) 1) F=mg = (45kg)(9.8N/kg) = 441 N 2) A = (0.0018m)^2 = 3.5344e-6 m^2 3) dL = 0.0016m 4) L = 2.44m 5) Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 Interatomic Spring Stiffness: Ks,i = dY 1) From above, diameter of one atom = 2.2245e-10 m 2) From above, Y = 1.834e11 N/m^2 3) Ks,i = 40.799 N/m (not rounding in my actual calculations) Speed of Sound: v = ωd 1) ω = √(Ks,i / m,a) 2) From above, Ks,i = 40.799 N/m 3) From above, m,a = 9.7974e-26 kg 4) ω=2.0406e13 N/m*kg 5) From above, d=2.2245e-10 m 6) v=ωd = 4539 m/s (not rounding in actual calculations) Time Elapsed: 1) length sound traveled = L+dL = 2.44166 m 2) From above, speed of sound = 4539 m/s 3) T = (L+dL)/v = 0.000537505 s

(a) When a battery is connected to the plates of a 8.00-µF capacitor, it stores a charge of 48.0 µC. What is the voltage of the
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a.6 V

b.24 V

Explanation:

We are given that

a.C=8\mu F=8\times 10^{-6} F

1\mu =10^{-6}

Q=48\mu C=48\times 10^{-6} C

We know that

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Using the formula

V=\frac{48\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=6 V

b.Q=192\mu C=192\times 10^{-6} C

V=\frac{192\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=24 V
