Three capacitors having capacitances of 8.40, 8.40, and 4.20 μFμF, respectively, are connected in series across a 36.0-V potenti

al difference. (a) What is the charge on the 4.20-μF4.20-μF capacitor? (b) The capacitors are disconnected from the potential difference without allowing them to discharge. They are then reconnected in parallel with each other with the positively charged plates connected together. What is the voltage across each capacitor in the parallel combination?

Answer:

a)Q=71.4 μ C

b)ΔV' = 10.2 V

Explanation:

Given that

C ₁= 8.7 μF

C₂ = 8.2 μF

C₃ = 4.1 μF

The potential difference of the battery, ΔV= 34 V

When connected in series

1/C = 1/C ₁ + 1/C₂ + 1/C₃

1/ C= 1/8.4 +1 / 8.4 + 1/4.2

C=2.1 μF

As we know that when capacitor are connected in series then they have same charge,Q

Q= C ΔV

Q= 2.1 x 34 μ C

Q=71.4 μ C

b)

As we know that when capacitor are connected in parallel then they have same voltage difference.

Q'= C' ΔV'

C'= C ₁+C₂+C₃ (For parallel connection)

C'= 8.4 + 8.4 + 4.2 μF

C'=21 μF

Q'= C' ΔV'

Q'=3 Q

3 x 71.4= 21 ΔV'

ΔV' = 10.2 V

Which statement accurately represents the arrangement of electrons in Bohr’s atomic model?

noname [10]

Answer: Electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits of equal levels of energy

Explanation:

The statement that accurately represents the arrangement of electrons in Bohr’s atomic model is that the electrons move around the nucleus in fixed orbits of equal levels of energy.

It should be noted that the electrons have a fixed energy level when they travel around the nucleus in with energies which varies for different levels.

Higher energy levels are depicted by the orbits that are far from the nucleus. There's emission of light when the electrons then return back to a lower energy level.

A compunds whose empirical formula is xf3 consists of 65% f by mass. what is the atomic mass of x

Reika [66]

Empirical formula of compound is XF3

Compound consist of 65% F

In 100g of compound there is 65 g of F

= 65 / 19 moles of Fluorine = 3.421 moles

So moles of X = 3.421 / 3 = 1.140 moles

And in 100 g X consist of 35 g

So the molar mass of X = 35 / 1.140 = 30.71 g = 31 approximately

And it is the mass of phosphorus

So the empirical formula for the compound is PX3

A Michelson interferometer uses red light with a wavelength of 656.45 nm from a hydrogen discharge lamp. Part A How many bright-

kati45 [8]

Answer:

51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7cm

Explanation:

The number of maxima appearing when the mirror M moves through distance \Delta L is given as follows,

$\Delta m = \frac{\Delta L}{\frac{\lambda}{2}}$

Here,

$\Delta L$ = is the distance moved by the mirror M

$\lambda$ is the wavelenght of the light used.

$\Delta L$ = 0.017m

$\lambda = 656.45*10^{-9}m$

$\Delta m = \frac{0.017}{\frac{656.45*10^{-9}}{2}}$

$\Delta m = 51793.72$

Therefore, 51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 13.0 m/s.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

a) Knowns, initial speed $v_{i}=13.0 m/s$ , final speed $v_{f}=0 m/s$ and gravity due it is a constant $g=9.8m/s^{2}$

b) The maximum high reached by the dolphin is $y_{max}=8.62 m$

c) Total time is $t=2.65s$

Explanation:

a) First of all the initial speed is given at the start of the problem, gravity is constant and final speed is known any object thrown straight up reaches its max high at $0m/s$ speed.

b) Second, now that we know final speed we use $v_{f} =v_{i}-gt$ , as we clear for $t=\frac{v_{i}-v_{f} }{g}=\frac{20.0m/s}{9.8m/s^{2} }=1.32 s$ .

Then we use $y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}=(20.0m/s)(1.32s)-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} ) (1.32s)^{2} =8.62m$

c)Third, finally we can use $y=v_{i}t-\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}$ , as we know $y=0m$ when the dolphin fall into the water again and $v_{i} =13.0m/s$ , then we have $0=(13m/s)t-\frac{1}{2} (9.8m/s^{2} )t^{2}$ is a quadratic form $0=t(13.0-4.9t)$ so we have $t_{i}=0s$ and $t_{f}=\frac{13}{4.90} =2.65s$
