digits.

AlexFokin [52]3 years ago

Answer:

6.37 x 10³ Km

Explanation:

given,

Radius of earth = 6,370,000 m

we know,

1 km = 1000 m

1 m = 0.001 Km

6,370,000 m =  6,370,000 x 0.001

                       = 6,370 Km

The number 6,370 has 3 significant figure.

To transform this to an exponential number, it is necessary to move the decimal to the left so there is only one digit in front of the decimal point.

Representing the given number in scientific notation

      = 6.37 x 10³ Km

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu
Ronch [10]

Answer:

i_2=3.61\ A

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

q, q_1, q_2 = charge of the capacitor in any time t, t_1, t_2

q_o = initial charge of the capacitor

\omega=angular frequency of the circuit

i, i_1, i_2 = current through the circuit in any time t, t_1, t_2

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )

The current is the derivative of the charge

\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).

We are given

q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}

It means that

q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]

i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]

From eq 1:

\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}

From eq 2:

\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

sin^2x+cos^2x=1

\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1

Operating

\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for q_o

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}

Now we know the value of q_0, we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time t_2, and solve for i_2

\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for i_2

\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz

w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}

q_0=0.01166\ c

Finally

\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}

i_2=5\ A

Suppose your local apparent solar time is 11 am, and you have a clock that says it is noon in Greenwich. What is your longitude
jeyben [28]

The longitude based on the time difference is 15 degrees.

<h3>Longitude of complete rotation of the Earth</h3>

The longitude of a complete rotation of the earth in a 24 hours is calculated  as follows;

= \frac{360^0}{24} = 15^0 \ of \ longitude

<h3>Time difference</h3>

The time difference between the local apparent solar time and the Greenwich time is calculated as follows;

t = 12 pm \ - \ 11 am\\\\t = 1 \ hour

Since it is one hour time difference, the longitude is 15 degrees.

A filled water tower sits on the top of the highest hill near a city. The cylindrical tower has a height of 55.0 m
Reika [66]

Answer:

539 kPa

Explanation:

Pressure equals density times acceleration of gravity times depth.

P = ρgh

Water has a density of 1000 kg/m³, and acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

P = (1000 kg/m³) (9.8 m/s²) (55.0 m)

P = 539,000 Pa

P = 539 kPa

The time T in seconds for a pendulum of length L feet to make one swing is given by Upper T=2\pi \sqrt((L)/(36)). How long is a
Andreyy89

Answer:

3.6ft

Explanation:

Using= 2*π*sqrt(L/32)

To solve for L, first move 2*n over:

T/(2*π) = sqrt(L/32)

Next,eliminate the square root by squaring both sides

(T/(2*π))2 = L/32

or

T2/(4π2) = L/32

Lastly, multiply both sides by 32 to yield:

32T2/(4π2) = L

and simplify:

8T²/π²= L

Hence, L(T) = 8T²/π²

But T = 2.1

Pi= 3.14

8(2.1)²/3.14²

35.28/9.85

= 3.6feet
