Answer:

<em>Container A will weigh more</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Both containers are identical, so we assume that they weigh the same.

They both have the same volume, and will contain an equal volume of a material.

Since they both contain water to the top, this means that their volume is fully occupied. But container B contain a block of wood <em><u>floating</u></em> in it.

The fact that the block of wood floats in the water in container B shows that it is less dense than the water around it, and in the container A, this same space is completely filled with water.

What we derive from this is that the portion of space contained by the block of wood in container B is occupied by water in container A, but, in container B, the density of this space is lesser now, since the wood block floats.

<em>Since density is mass per unit volume, and weight is proportional to mass, then we can see that the weight of this volume portion in container B is lesser than that of container A. The consequence is that container A will weigh more than container B because of this extra weight.</em>

A driven RLC circuit is being driven by an AC emf source with a maximum current of 2.75 A and maximum voltage of 150 V. The curr
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

(a). Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). R = 36 ohm

(c). The circuit will be Capacitive.

Explanation:

Given data

I = 2.75 A

Voltage = 150 V

\phi = 0.85 rad = 48.72°

(a). Impedance of the circuit is given by

Z = \frac{V}{I}

Z = \frac{150}{2.75}

Z = 54.54 ohm

(b). We know that resistance of the circuit is given by

R = \frac{Z}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2}\phi } }

Put the values of Z & \phi in above formula we get

R = \frac{54.54}{\sqrt{1 + \tan^{2} ( \ 48.72) } }

R = 36 ohm

(c). Since the phase angle is negative so the circuit will be Capacitive.

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elec
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Speed = 575 m/s

Mechanical energy is conserved in electrostatic, magnetic and gravitational forces.

Explanation:

Given :

Potential difference, U = $-3.45 \times 10^{-3} \ V$

Mass of the alpha particle, $m_{\alpha} = 6.68 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$

Charge of the alpha particle is, $q_{\alpha} = 3.20 \times 10^{-19} \ C$

So the potential difference for the alpha particle when it is accelerated through the potential difference is

$U=\Delta Vq_{\alpha}$

And the kinetic energy gained by the alpha particle is

$K.E. =\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 $

From the law of conservation of energy, we get

$K.E. = U$

$\frac{1}{2}m_{\alpha}v_{\alpha}^2 = \Delta V q_{\alpha}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \Delta V q_{\alpha}}{m_{\alpha}}}$

$v_{\alpha} = \sqrt{\frac{2(3.45 \times 10^{-3 })(3.2 \times 10^{-19})}{6.68 \times 10^{-27}}}$

$v_{\alpha} \approx 575 \ m/s$

The mechanical energy is conserved in the presence of the following conservative forces :

-- electrostatic forces

-- magnetic forces

-- gravitational forces
