Answer:

Explanation:

One prolonged blast every two minutes is an indication of incoming of a power-driven vessel underway. This blast is done to make aware other boats, about your location, in the conditions of poor visibility. The other boats will have to slow down their speed, in order to avoid collision.

A charged capacitor is connected to an ideal inductor to form an LC circuit with a frequency of oscillation f = 1.6 Hz. At time
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

8.0\mu C

Explanation:

We are given that

f=1.6 Hz

q=3.0\mu C=3.0\times 10^{-6} C

1\mu C=10^{-6} C

Current,I=75\mu A=75\times 10^{-6} A

1\mu A=10^{-6} A

We have to find the maximum charge of the capacitor.

Charge on the capacitor,q=q_0cos\omega t

\omega=2\pi f=2\pi\times 1.6=3.2\pi rad/s

3\times 10^{-6}=q_0cos3.2\pi t....(1)

I=\frac{dq}{dt}=-q_0\omega sin\omega t

75\times 10^{-6}=-q_0(3.2\pi)sin3.2\pi t....(2)

Equation (2) divided by equation (1)

-3.2\pi tan3.2\pi t=\frac{75\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=25

tan3.2\pi t=-\frac{25}{3.2\pi}=-2.488

3.2\pi t=tan^{-1}(-2.488)=-1.188rad

q_0=\frac{q}{cos\omega t}=\frac{3\times 10^{-6}}{cos(-1.188)}=8.0\times 10^{-6}=8\mu C

Hence, the maximum charge of the capacitor=8.0\mu C

A mass M tied to a light string is moving in a vertical circle. The tension in the string at the top is TT and TB at the bottom
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tension provides centripetal force in the circular motion . In circular motion work done by force = torque x angle

torque is zero as , centripetal force passes through axis of rotation that is center.

So work done by centripetal force  = 0

So work done by tension on M = 0

Why must humans limit their exposure to X-rays and gamma rays?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits for exposure to x-rays and gamma rays in part because it recognizes that this form of radiation can cause cancer.
