Answer:

2.6 kilo Ohm

Explanation:

Capacitance, C = 591 μF = 591 x 10^-6 F

Vo = 88.5 V

V = 11.9 V

t = 3.09 s

Let the resistance is R.

V = V_{0}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}

\frac{11.9}{88.5} = e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}

0.135 = e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}

Take natural log on oth the sides

ln 0.135 = - 3.09 / RC

RC = 1.545

R = 1.545 / ( 591 x 10^-6)

R = 2614.2 ohm

R = 2.6 kilo Ohm

Thus the resistance is  2.6 kilo Ohm.

A ray of light traveling in air strikes the surface of a liquid. if the angle of incidence is 29.7◦ and the angle of refraction
lana66690 [7]
When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted ray, and it is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) (2)
where n_r is the refractive index of the second medium and n_i is the refractive index of the first medium.

We can find the ratio n_r / n_i by using Snell's law:
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r (1)
where
\theta_i is the angle of incidence
\theta_r is the angle of refraction

By using the data of the problem and re-arranging (1), we find
\frac{n_r}{n_i} =  \frac{\sin \theta_i}{\sin \theta_r} = \frac{\sin 16.3^{\circ}}{\sin 29.7^{\circ}} =0.566

and if we use eq.(2) we can now find the value of the critical angle:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) = \arcsin (0.566) = 34.5^{\circ}

A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum speed of 35.5 m/s. a) What is the coeff
postnew [5]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is <u>0.833</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

f=\mu N

Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,

N=mg

Therefore, frictional force, f=\mu mg

Now, frictional force = centripetal force

f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu = \frac{v^2}{Rg}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

\mu=\frac{(35\ m/s)^2}{(150\ m)(9.8\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu=\frac{1225\ m^2/s^2}{1470\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.833

Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.
