The answer is Refraction.

BTW, I just took the test, so I know that's the right answer!

I hope this helps. :)

Two capacitors, a 15 micro F and a 25 micro F, are connected in parallel to a 60 Hz source. The total capacitive reactance is :_

Stells [14]

Answer:

3980.89 ohms

Explanation:

The capacitive reactance is expressed as;

$X_c = \frac{1}{2 \pi fC}$

f is the frequency

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

Given

f = 60H

C = C1+C2 (parallel connection)

C = 15μF + 25μF

C = 40μF

C = $40 * 10^{-6}F$

Substitute into the formula:

$X_c = \frac{1}{2(3.14)*60*40*10^{-6}}\\X_c = \frac{1}{0.0002512}\\X_c = 3,980.89$

Hence the total capacitive reactance is 3980.89 ohms

A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20 510 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is sta

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The car must be moving away from the person.

Explanation:

From Doppler's Effect, we know that when a sound source moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency of that sound increases. While the apparent frequency decreases if the source moves away from the stationary observer.

The audible range of frequencies for a human ear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Therefore, in order for the sound of a loud speaker to be audible for the person, the frequency must decrease below 20000 Hz.

Due to this reason, the car must be moving away from the person.

Answer:

The change in temperature, $\Delta T=9.45^{\circ} C$

Explanation:

Given that,

The temperature in Spearfish, South Dakota, rose from $-4^{\circ} F\ to\ 45^{\circ} F$ in just 2 minutes. We need to find the temperature change in Celsius degrees. Change in temperature is given by final temperature minus initial temperature such that,
