We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is not a double-replacement?

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

From the given options the reaction which is not a double replacement reaction is:

$Zn (s) + 2HCl (aq)\rightarrow H_2 (g) + ZnCl_2 (s)$

This because the above reaction is an example of single replacement reaction.

$AB+C\rightarrow AC+B$

Whereas;

Double replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which exchange of ions among the reactants take place.

$AB+CD\rightarrow AD+CB$

A ____ is a non solid state of matter in which the atoms and molecules are free to move past each other, as in a gas or liquid.

Licemer1 [7]

The answer is GAS. In a gas, the particles are in a completely random motion in any direction. And it is not solid. Hope I helped. Good luck

In order to transmit information via radio waves, the waves need to be changed somehow. For car radios this can happen in two wa

laila [671]

Answer: amplitude

Explanation: This describes the maximum amount of the displacement of a particle from it rest position. Usually, it is measured in metres

Since we are considering AM which is amplitude modulation, a technique used in electronic communication, most commonly for broadcasting information through a radio carrier wave. In amplitude modulation, the amplitude (signal strength) of the carrier wave is diversified in proportion to that of the message signal being broadcasted.

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

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

$i_2=5\ A$
