Answer:

h = 48.077 ft

Explanation:

given,

distance between two observer = 300 ft

angle of elevation to top pole = 16° and 20°

height of the flagpole = ?

now,

Let h be the height of the flagpole

Let x be the distance of the pole

$tan 16^0 = \dfrac{h}{x}$

$x =\dfrac{h}{tan 16^0}$

now,

again applying

$tan 20^0 = \dfrac{h}{300-x}$

$300-x=\dfrac{h}{tan 20^0}$

$300-3.49 h=2.75 h$

$6.24h = 300$

h = 48.077 ft

series RC circuit is built with a 15 kΩ resistor and a parallel-plate capacitor with 18-cm-diameter electrodes. A 18 V, 36 kHz s

andre [41]

Answer:

$d=1.84\ mm$

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance</u>

A two parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of

$\displaystyle C=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_o=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = area of the plates = $\pi r^2$

d = separation of the plates

$\displaystyle d=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{C}=\frac{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}{C}$

We need to compute C. We'll use the circuit parameters for that. The reactance of a capacitor is given by

$\displaystyle X_c=\frac{1}{wC}$

where w is the angular frequency

$w=2\pi f=2\pi \cdot 36000=226194.67\ rad/s$

Solving for C

$\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{wX_c}$

The reactance can be found knowing the total impedance of the circuit:

$Z^2=R^2+X_c^2$

Where R is the resistance, $R=15 K\Omega=15000\Omega$ . Solving for Xc

$X_c^2=Z^2-R^2$

The magnitude of the impedance is computed as the ratio of the rms voltage and rms current

$\displaystyle Z=\frac{V}{I}$

The rms current is the peak current Ip divided by $\sqrt{2}$ , thus

$\displaystyle Z=\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}$

$I_p=0.65\ mA/1000=0.00065\ A$

Now collect formulas

$\displaystyle X_c^2=Z^2-R^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}\right)^2-R^2$

Or, equivalently

$\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2V^2}{I_p^2}-R^2}$

$\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 18^2}{0.00065^2}-15000^2}$

$X_c=36176.34\ \Omega$

The capacitance is now

$\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{226194.67\cdot 36176.34}=1.22\cdot 10^{-10}\ F$

The radius of the plates is

$r=18\ cm/2=9 \ cm = 0.09 \ m$

The separation between the plates is

$\displaystyle d=\frac{8.85\cdot 10^{-12} \cdot \pi\cdot 0.09^2}{1.22\cdot 10^{-10}}$

$d=0.00184\ m$

$\boxed{d=1.84\ mm}$

Two in-phase loudspeakers that emit sound with the same frequency are placed along a wall and are separated by a distance of 5.0

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$f = 421.8 Hz$

Explanation:

When she moved a distance of 1 m from mid point she observe first destructive interference due to two speakers

so we can say that path difference of sound due to two speakers will be equal to half of the wavelength

so path difference is given as

$\Delta L = {3.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5} - {1.5^2 + 12^2}^{0.5}$

so it will be

$\Delta L = 12.5 - 12.093$

$\Delta L = 0.4066$

now we know that

$\frac{\lambda}{2} = 0.4066$

$\lambda = 0.813$

now frequency of sound is given as

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{343}{0.813}$

$f = 421.8 Hz$

A proton moving at 5.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.78 t experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.40 10-1

aliya0001 [1]

The magnetic part using the Lorentz force is: F = q v x B,
where v and B are vectors and v x B is the vector cross product.

Magnitude of the force: F = q v B sin(α)

So, sin(α) = F/( e v B), with e the proton charge.

This will give you a value for sin(α), and two potentials for its opposite.

You will now look for:

sin(α) = 7.40 10^-13/( 1.60 10^-19 * 5 10^6 * 1.78)
= 0.520

So either sin(α) = 0.502 or sin(α) = -0.502
The 1st α = 30.1 degrees or α = 150 degrees.
The 2nd α = 210 degrees or α = 330 degrees.
So we can say that 30.1 degrees and 330 degrees would be minimum and biggest on [0,360]

The runner reaches the first camera, at the 500 m mark, at 9:03:05 a.m. and the second camera, at the 600 m mark, at 9:03:25 a.m

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance travelled = 600 - 500 = 100 m

Time taken = 9:03:25 a.m.- 9:03 :05 a.m.

= 20 s

average speed = distance / time taken

= 100 / 20 m /s

= 5 m /s
