Answer:

The Ic will be zero.

Explanation:

Capacitors have a working principal as follows:

  • As the current flows through the circuit, they store the electrical energy according to certain attributes they have such as the area of the plates and the material's capacitence in between the plates.

An AC voltage increases and decreases between certain maximum and minimum points periodically. So while the AC voltage is on the positive side, the capacitor charges up and when the AC voltage crosses to the negative side, the capacitor takes over and it's current starts increasing as the current coming from the AC source decreases.

So in this case, as the AC voltage crosses zero, the capacitor current was decreasing because the AC voltage was on the positive side and it was charging. The capacitor current will be zero as well and it will start to increase when AC voltage is on the negative.

I hope this answer helps.

Which of the following about Dalton's theory of matter is true?
Lemur [1.5K]
D.Atoms can be divided into smaller parts.


Dalton's atomic theory was the first complete attempt to describe allmatter in terms of atoms and their properties. Dalton based his theory on the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. The first part of his theory states that allmatter is made of atoms, which are indivisible.

Gravity and magnetism are both
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Comment

You have to read this carefully enough that you don't mix up energy and forces.

Gravity is a force. If you don't believe me try jumping off a building. Which way are you going to go and why? Down because gravity attracts your mass.

So Magnetism must be a force as well. It acts in one direction, but not a specific one the way gravity acts). It also either attracts or repulses (pushes an object away)

How and why does breathing rate increase during exercise
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>Your heart speeds up to pump extra food and oxygen to the muscles. Breathing speeds up to get more oxygen and to get rid of more carbon dioxide. When a fit person, such as an athlete, exercises the pulse rate, breathing rate and lactic acid levels rise much less than they do in an unfit person.

The temperature of a heat engine is 500 K. Some of the heat generated by the engine flows to the surroundings, which are
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The efficiency of the engine is 75%  under given conditions.

<u>Explanation: </u>

<em>Efficiency is defined as the ratio of work done by the engine to the total heat supplied to a heat engine</em>. We know work done by the heat engine be difference between total heat supplied \left(Q_{h}\right) by total heat utilized \left(Q_{c}\right). We can derive formula for efficiency by considering the above factors, \text { efficiency }=\frac{\text { work done }}{\text { heat suplied }}=\frac{Q_{h}-Q_{c}}{Q_{h}}=1-\frac{Q_{c}}{Q_{h}}=1-\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}} \therefore \text { efficiency }=1-\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}  

Now consider a heat engine is at a temperature of 500K and the heat produced by the engine released to the surroundings at a temperature of 125K. The efficiency is calculated by using the above formula, \text { efficiency }=1-\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}=1-\frac{125}{500}=1-0.25=0.75

∴ Efficiency of the engine is 75%

The initial potential energy of the wagon containing gold boxes will enable

it roll down the hill when cut loose.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u>.

Reasons:

Mass wagon and gold = 166 kg

Location of the wagon = 77 meters up the hill

Slope of the hill = 8°

Location of the rangers = 41 meters from the canyon

Mass of Lone Ranger, m₁ = 65 kg

Mass of Tonto m₂ = 66 kg

Solution;

Height of the wagon above the level ground, h = 77 m × sin(8°) ≈ 10.72 m

Potential energy = m·g·h

Where;

g = Acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 166 × 9.81 × 10.72 = 17457.0912

Potential energy of wagon, P.E. ≈ 17457.0912 J

By energy conservation, P.E. = K.E.

K.E. = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{2} \cdot m \cdot v^2}

Where;

v = The velocity of the wagon a the bottom of the cliff

Therefore;

\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166 \times v^2 = 17457.0912

v = \sqrt{\dfrac{17457.0912}{\dfrac{1}{2} \times 166} } \approx 14.5

Velocity of the wagon, v ≈ 14.5 m/s

Momentum = Mass, m × Velocity, v

Initial momentum of wagon = m·v

Final momentum of wagon and ranger = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

By conservation of momentum, we have;

m·v = (m + m₁ + m₂)·v'

\therefore v' = \mathbf{ \dfrac{m \cdot v}{(m + m_1 + m_2)  }}

Which gives;

\therefore v' = \dfrac{166 \times 14.5}{(166 + 65 + 66)  } \approx 8.1

The velocity of the wagon after the Ranger and Tonto drop in, v' ≈ 8.1 m/s

Time = \dfrac{Distance}{Velocity}

\mathrm{The \ time \ the\ Lone \  Ranger \  and  \ Tonto \  have,  \ t} = \dfrac{41 \, m}{8.1 \, m/s} \approx 5.1 \, s

The Lone Range and Tonto have approximately <u>5.1 seconds</u> to grab the

gold and jump out of the wagon before the wagon heads over the cliff.
