1 answer:
corrected question:The heavyweight boxing champion of the world punches a sheet of paper in midair, bringing it from rest up to a speed of 26.5 m/s in 0.044 s . The mass of the paper is 0.003 kg. Part A Find the force of the punch on the paper
Answer:
Force=1.8N
Explanation:
Newtons third law states that in every action there is equal and opposite reaction.
The force of the punch will be the force that moves the paper by a speed of 26.5m/s.
m=0.003kg , v=26.5m/s u=0(the paper is punched from rest) t=0.044s
F=1.8N

Answer:
The reactance of the capacitor
Explanation:
In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.
For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:
where:
f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit
C is the capacitance of the capacitor
The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:
- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)
- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).
