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.

First, you need to determine the period of the function. The period will be the time interval between identical points on the sinusoidal function. For this problem, the tide is rising and at 5.15 at midnight for two consecutive days. So the period is 24 hours. Over that 24 hour period, we want the parameter passed to sine to range from 0 to 2*pi. So the scale factor for x will be 2*pi/24 = pi/12 which is approximately 0.261799388. The next thing to note is the magnitude of the wave. That will simply be the difference between the maximum and minimum values. So 10.2 ft - 0.1 ft = 10.1 ft. And since the value of sine ranges from -1 to 1, we need to divide that magnitude by 2, so 10.1 ft / 2 = 5.05 ft.
So our function at this point looks like
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12)
But the above function ranges in value from -5.05 to 5.05. So we need to add a bias to it in order to make the low value equal to 0.1. So 0.1 = X - 5.05, 0.1 + 5.05 = X, 5.15 = X. So our function now looks like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
The final thing that might have been needed would have been a phase correction. With this problem, we don't need a phase correction since at X = 0 (midnight), the value of X*pi/12 = 0, and the sine of 0 is 0, so the value of the equation is 5.15 which matches the given value of 5.15. But if the problem had been slightly different and the height of the tide at midnight has been something like 7 feet, then we would have had to calculate a phase shift value for the function and add that constant to the parameter being passed into sine, making the function look like:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12 + C) + 5.15
where
C = Phase correction offset.
But we don't need it for this problem, so the answer is:
f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*pi/12) + 5.15
Note: The above solution assumes that angles are being measured in radians. If you're using degrees, then instead of multiplying x by 2*pi/24 = pi/12, you need to multiply by 360/24 = 15 instead, giving f(x) = 5.05*sin(x*15) + 5.15</span>

Answer:
(a) 1462.38 m/s
(b) 2068.13 m/s
Explanation:
(a)
The Kinetic energy of the atom can be given as:
K.E = (3/2)KT
where,
K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/k
K.E = Kinetic Energy of atoms = 343 K
T = absolute temperature of atoms
The K.E is also given as:
K.E = (1/2)mv²
Comparing both equations:
(1/2)mv² = (3/2)KT
v² = 3KT/m
v = √[3KT/m]
where,
m = mass of Helium = (4 A.M.U)(1.66 X 10⁻²⁷ kg/ A.M.U) = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
v = RMS Speed of Helium Atoms = ?
Therefore,
v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(343 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]
<u>v = 1462.38 m/s</u>
(b)
For double temperature:
T = 2 x 343 K = 686 K
all other data remains same:
v = √[(3)(1.38 x 10⁻²³ J/K)(686 K)/(6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg)]
<u>v = 2068.13 m/s</u>
