Answer:

Reactance

Explanation:

In an AC circuit, the capacitive reactance of a capacitor is given by:

$X_C = \frac{1}{2 \pi f C}$

where

f is the frequency of the AC current

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance of the capacitor tells somehow the "resistance" of the capacitor to the passage of current through it. In fact:

- When the frequency of the AC current is zero (this means, we are in regime of DC current), the reactance becomes infinite, and this is true because the capacitor does not let the current pass through it)

- When the frequency of the AC current tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero, and this is true because in this case the current changes direction so fast that the capacitor has not enough time to "block" the current, so the current almost no feels the presence of the capacitor.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Angle of incidence that entered material b= 63.1°

Angle of incidence between a and b = 55.9°

Explanation: Using the formular:

n1sintheta1= n2sintheta2

The light ray which enters material B will be

1.4Sin72.8° = 1.5Sin theta

1.3373= 1.5Sintheta

sintheta = 1.3373/1.5

Sin^-1 0.8916 = Theta

63.1 = theta

When the ray hits interface with material a

1.5Sin63.1 = 1.3 Sin theta

1.3374 = 1.3Sin theta

Sintheta= 1.3374/1.3

Sin theta = 1.0877

There will be total reflection off the boundary b c because sin theta exceeded 1 in value.

The equation should be

1.4sin63.1 = 1.4 sin theta

Sin theta=72.8°

When the ray hits air-c boundary:

1.4sin72.8=1.00sin theta

Sin theta=1.3374/1 =1.3374

There is total reflection.

In material a,the ray will:

1.3sin72.8° = 1.00sin theta

There will be total reflection when the ray hits a-b boundary.

1.3sin72.8= 1.5sintheta

Sin theta= 1.2419/ 1.5

Sin theta =0.8279

Theta= Sin^-10.8279= 55.88°

When ray hits c-air boundary

1.4sin63.1= 1.00sintheta

1.2485= sin theta = Toal reflection.

Therefore when the ray of light pass through the layers of material a, b and c the boundary with air on top and bottom will be total reflection.

The statements below are all true. Some of them represent important reasons why the giant impact hypothesis for the Moon’s forma

Molodets [167]

Answer:

the order of importance must be b e a f c

Explanation:

Modern theories indicate that the moon was formed by the collision of a bad plant with the Earth during its initial cooling period, due to which part of the earth's material was volatilized and as a ring of remains that eventually consolidated in Moon.

Based on the aforementioned, let's analyze the statements in order of importance

b) True. Since the moon is material evaporated from Earth, its compassion is similar

e) True. If the moon is material volatilized from the earth it must train a finite receding speed

a) True. The solar system was full of small bodies in erratic orbits that wander between and with larger bodies

f) False. The moon's rotation and translation are equal has no relation to its formation phase

c) false. The amount of vaporized material on the moon is large

Therefore, the order of importance must be

What must be the pressure difference between the two ends of a 2.6 km section of pipe, 36 cm in diameter, if it is to transport

ad-work [718]

Answer: $1.13(10)^{3} Pa$

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by the following equation:

$\Delta P=\frac{8 \eta L Q}{\pi r^{4}}$

Where:

$\Delta P$ is the pressure difference between the two ends of the pipe

$\eta=0.20 Pa.s$ is the viscosity of oil

$L=2.6 km=2600 m$ is the length of the pipe

$Q=900 \frac{cm^{3}}{s} \frac{1 m^{3}}{(100 cm)^{3}}=0.0009 \frac{m^{3}}{s}$ is the Rate of flow of the fluid

$d=36 cm=0.36 m$ is the diameter of the pipe

$r=\frac{d}{2}=0.18 m$ is the radius of the pipe

Soving for $\Delta P$ :

$\Delta P=\frac{8 (0.20 Pa.s)(2600 m)(0.0009 \frac{m^{3}}{s})}{\pi (0.18 m)^{4}}$

Finally:

$\Delta P=1135.26 Pa \approx 1.13(10)^{3} Pa$

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

$Tsin\theta= \frac{mv^2}{r}$
