Answer:

Quark

Explanation:

In the past the proton,neutron and electron were believed to be indivisible. Quarks were later discovered to be particles that make up the proton and neutron. Quarks are known as fast moving points of energy and are usually joined to one another through gluons. Neutron has two down quarks and one up quark while proton has two up quarks and one down quark.

Explain why the total positive charge in every atom of an element is always the<br> same.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral.

A worker assigned to the restoration of the Washington Monument is checking the condition of the stone at the very top of the mo

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

Explanation:

We can find the gravitational potential energy using the following formula.

$GPE=mgh$

Identifying given information.

The nickel has a mass $m=0.005 \,kg$ , and it is a the top of Washington Monument.

The Washington Monument has a height of $h=555 \, ft$ , thus we need to find the equivalence in meters using unit conversion in order to find the gravitational potential energy.

Converting from feet to meters.

Using the conversion factor 1 m = 3.28 ft, we have

$h = 555 \, ft \times \cfrac{1 \, m}{3.28 \, ft}$

That give u s

$h = 169.2 \, m$

Finding Gravitational Potential Energy.

We can replace the height and mass on the formula

$GPE=mgh$

And we get

$GPE=(0.005)(9.8)(169.2) \, J$

$\boxed{GPE=8.29 \,J}$

The gravitational potential energy of the nickel at the top of the monument is 8.29 J.

For what absolute value of the phase angle does a source deliver 71 % of the maximum possible power to an RLC circuit

kherson [118]

Answer: the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°

Explanation:

taking a look at expression for the instantaneous electric power in an AC circuit;

P = VI -------let this be equation 1

p is power, v is voltage and I is current;

for maximum power

P_max = V_rms × I_rms --------let this be equ 2

where P_max is the maximum power, V_rms is the rms value of voltage and I_rms is the rms value of current.

Also for average electric power in an AC circuit

P_avg = V_rms × I_rms × cos²∅ -------let this be equ 3

where P_avg is the average power and cos∅ is the power factor

now from equation 2; P_max = V_rms × I_rms

so p_max replaces V_rms × I_rms in equation 3

we now have

P_avg = P_max × cos²∅

so we substitute

expression for the given value of the average power is

P_avg = P_max × 75%

p_avg = P_max.78/100

for the expression of the average electricity in an AC circuit

P_max.78/100 = P_max × cos²∅

78/100 = cos²∅

to get the absolute value of phase angle

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( √(78/100))

∅ = cos⁻¹ ( 0.8832)

∅ = 27.969 ≈ 28°

Therefore the absolute value of the phase angle is 28°
