A parallel RLC circuit contains an inductor with a value of 400 microhenries and a capacitor with a value of 0.3 microfarads wha

ipn [44]

Answer:

The resonant frequency of this circuit is 14.5 kHz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductance of a parallel LCR circuit, $L=400\ \mu H=400\times 10^{-6}\ H$

Capacitance of parallel LCR circuit, $C=0.3\ \mu F=0.3\times 10^{-6}\ F$

At resonance the inductive reactance becomes equal to the capacitive reactance. The resonant frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} }$

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{400\times 10^{-6}\times 0.3\times 10^{-6}} }$

$f=14528.79\ Hz$

f = 14.5 kHz

So, the resonant frequency of this circuit is 14.5 kHz. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which pair of equations can describe the path of a particle moving with an acceleration that is perpendicular to the velocity of

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The question clearly describes the circular motion.

The circular motion equation is

$a_{radial} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

The path of the particle is circular.

Explanation:

In circular motion, the radial acceleration is always towards the center and constant in magnitude. Furthermore, the velocity of the circular motion is always tangential to the circle, that is it is always perpendicular to the radius, hence the acceleration.

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti

Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance = 990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?

Tems11 [23]

Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.
