A series RCL circuit consists of a 50 Ω resistor, 500 Ω capacitor, and a 500 Ω inductor. What is the angle of impedance?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

here, the inductive reactance and the capacitive reactance is same, so this is the condition for resonance.

In the condition for resonance,

the circuit and the voltage in the circuit is in the same phase and the impedance of the circuit is minimum which is equal to the resistance of the circuit.

The phase angle is given by

tan\phi =\frac{X_{L}-X_{C}}{R}

Ф = 0

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the
Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised  from T to T'.

Hence specific heat  of a substance is calculated as-

                                              c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

A bell is ringing inside of a sealed glass jar that is connected to a vacuum pump. Initially, the jar is filled with air. What d
Mila [183]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Sound is a mechanical wave. A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. This means that sound waves must be carried in air. If there are no air molecules, sound waves can not travel.

When air is gradually removed from the jar by the pump, the sound intensity from the bell gradually decreases owing to the fact that air which is the medium through which sound waves are propagated is gradually being removed from the jar.

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope. What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances f
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given :

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

To Find :

What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances friction.

Solution :

The component of that will be parallel to the plane to balance friction is :

F \ cos ( 90 - 36)^o\\\\F\ ( sin\ 36^o)

Therefore, component of force to balance friction is F sin 36° .

Hence, this is the required solution.

a stone with a mass of 2.40 kg is moving with velocity (6.60î − 2.40ĵ) m/s. find the net work (in j) on the stone if its velocit
ch4aika [34]

By the work energy theorem, the total work done on the stone is given by its change in kinetic energy,

W = \Delta K = \dfrac m2 ({v_2}^2 - {v_1}^2)

We have

\vec v_1 = (6.60\,\vec\imath - 2.40\,\vec\jmath)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_1}^2 = \|\vec v_1\|^2 = 49.32 \dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}

\vec v_2 = (8.00\,\vec\imath + 4.00\,\vec\jmath) \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \implies {v_2}^2 = \|\vec v_2\|^2 = 80.0\dfrac{\mathrm m^2}{\mathrm s^2}

Then the total work is

W = \dfrac{2.40\,\rm kg}2 \left(80.0\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2} - 49.32\dfrac{\rm m^2}{\rm s^2}\right)  \approx \boxed{36.8\,\rm J}
