Answer: 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Inductance (L) = 40 henry

Resistance = 8 ohms

The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.

THAT IS;

Time constant = L / R

THEREFORE ;

Time constant = 40 / 8

Time constant = 5 seconds

What is the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4. 56 x 10^-19 j
Sauron [17]

The frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

<h3>What is a frequency?</h3>

The number of waves that travel through a particular point in a given length of time is described by frequency. So, if a wave takes half a second to pass, the frequency is 2 per second.

Given that the energy of the photon is 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J. Therefore, the frequency of the photon can be written as,

\rm \gamma = \dfrac{E}{h} = \dfrac{4.56x10^{-19} J}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}\ Jsec^{-1}}\\\\\\\gamma  = 6.88 \times 10^{14}\ s^{-1}

Hence, the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2
liberstina [14]

Answer:

2C

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

Help with this question please.
mr Goodwill [35]

There are 4 hydrogens on the right side (2\mathrm H_2=4\mathrm H), and 2 hydrogens on the left per molecule of \mathrm H_2. To get the same number of hydrogens on both sides, the coefficient should be 2.

(Then the number of oxygens will be consistent, since 2\mathrm H_2\mathrm O contributes 2 oxygens, and so does \mathrm O_2.)

A rubber balloon is rubbed with a PVC pipe and the rubber balloon becomes positively charged. Why is this? a) Because the rubber
pentagon [3]

Answer:

d)

Explanation:

Electrons are lost or gained when the ballon is rubbed with a PVC. As the rubber ballon lost electrons, it will have more protons, hence the positive charge. (More protons than electrons in the ballon).

How do we prove the earth is round? What evidence do we have and reasoning?
Jlenok [28]

Answer: Go to the harbor. When a ship sails off toward the horizon, it doesn't just get smaller and smaller until it's not visible anymore. Instead, the hull seems to sink below the horizon first, then the mast. When ships return from sea, the sequence is reversed: First the mast, then the hull, seem to rise over the horizon.

Climbing to a high point will allow you to be able to see farther if you go higher. If the Earth was flat, you'd be able to see the same distance no matter your elevation
