Explanation:

In a large nucleus there will be large number of protons and neutrons. Since, charge on protons is positive and neutrons have no charge. So, due to the like charges of protons there will be force of repulsion between them.  

As there are large number of protons as compared to the neutrons so, force of repulsion will also be large. Whereas a force which is responsible for holding the protons and neutrons together in a nucleus is known as nuclear binding energy.

Hence, when nuclear force of repulsion overcome the nuclear binding energy then the atom becomes unstable in nature.

If an atom is smaller then there will be less number of protons and neutrons. Hence, then nuclear binding energy overcomes the nuclear force of repulsion. Therefore, atom remains stable in nature.

A 25 pF parallel-plate capacitor with an air gap between the plates is connected to a 100 V battery. A Teflon slab is then inser
fgiga [73]

Answer:

5.3 nC

Explanation:

The initial charge stored on the capacitor is given by:

Q=CV (1)

where

C=25 pF = 25\cdot 10^{-12}F is the capacitance of the capacitor

V=100 V is the potential difference across the capacitor

Substituting numbers into the equation, we have

Q=(25\cdot 10^{-12} F)(100 V)=25\cdot 10^{-10}C=2.5 nC

When the Teflon slab is inserted between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor is increased as follows:

C'=kC

where k=2.1 is the dielectric constant of the Teflon. Since the voltage V remains constant, this means that the new charge stored by the capacitor (1) will be

Q'=C'V=kCV=kQ

and so

Q'=(2.1)(2.5 nC)=5.3 nC

Consider a two-dimensional projectile motion problem involving a ball starting and ending at the same height. the projectile lea
mariarad [96]

The range of the projectile is maximum at angle 45°, the range is 10.2m,  the time to reach the maximum height is 0.72 s and the maximum height is 2.6 m

<h3>What is a Projectile ?</h3>

The stone, or object or anything projected in a trajectory path is known as a projectile.

In the given two-dimensional projectile motion problem involving a ball starting and ending at the same height. the projectile leaves the ground with an initial velocity of 10 m/s at some angle Ф with the horizontal,

(a) The value of the angle Ф (in degrees) which will makes the range of the projectile maximum is angle 45° because Range = u²sin2Ф ÷ g

At Ф = 45

Range = u²sin90° ÷ g

where sin 90 = 1

So, Range = u² / g which is the maximum range.

(b) The range at this angle will be

Range = 10² ÷ 9.8

Range = 100 / 9.8

Range = 10.2 m

(c) To calculate how long it takes the ball to reach maximum height, we will use the formula

t = usinФ ÷ g

t = 10 sin 45 ÷ 9.8

t = 0.72s

(d) The maximum height will be

H = u²sin²Ф ÷ 2g

H = 10²(sin45)² ÷ 2 × 9.8

H = 100 × 0.5 ÷ 19.6

H = 50 ÷ 19.6

H = 2.55 m

Therefore, the range of the projectile is maximum at angle 45°, the range is 10.2m,  the time to reach the maximum height is 0.72 s and the maximum height is 2.6 m

How long must a flute be in order to have a fundamental frequency of 262 Hz (this frequency corresponds to middle C on the evenl
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

L=0.654 m

Explanation:

<u>Concepts and Principles  </u>

1- The speed of sound in air is expressed as a function of the temperature of air as follows:  

 v=(331 m/s)√(1+T_C/273°C)                        (1)

where 331 m/s is the speed of sound in air at temperature 0°C and Tc is the temperature of air in Celsius.  

<u>Standing Wave Patterns in Pipes:  </u>

A pipe open at both ends can have standing wave patterns with resonant frequencies:  

f=v/λ=nv/2L                     n=1,2,3.........

where v is the speed of sound in air.  

<u>Given Data </u>

f_1 (fundamental frequency of the flute) = 262 Hz

T (temperature of the air) = 20°C  

The flute is open at both ends.  

<u>Required Data </u>

We are asked to determine the length of the tube.  

<u>Solution</u><u>  </u>

The speed of sound in air at temperature T = 20°C is found from Equation (1):

 v=(331 m/s)√(1+T_C/273°C)  

 =342.91 m/s

The fundamental frequency of the flute is found by substituting n = 1 into Equation (2):  

f=v/2L

Solve for L:  

L=v/2f_1

L=0.654 m
