Answer:

Capacitive reactance is 132.6 Ω.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Capacitance, $C=20\ \mu F=20\times 10^{-6}\ F=2\times 10^{-5}\ F$

Voltage source, V = 20 volt

Frequency of source, f = 60 Hz

We need to find the capacitive reactance. It is defined as the reactance for a capacitor. It is given by :

$X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC}$

$X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \times 60\ Hz\times 2\times 10^{-5}\ F}$

$X_C=132.6\ \Omega$

So, the capacitive reactance of the capacitor is 132.6 Ω. Hence, this is the required solution.

The spectrum of a distant star shows that one in 2 e6 of the atoms of a particular element is in its first excited state 7.5 eV

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The temperature of star is 5473.87 K

Explanation:

Given:

Energy difference $\Delta E = 7.5$ eV

The ratio of number of particle $\frac{N_{f} }{N_{i} } = \frac{1}{2 \times 10^{6} }$

Degeneracy ratio $\frac{g_{f} }{g_{i} } = 4$

From the formula of boltzmann distribution for population levels,

$\frac{N_{f} }{N_{i} } =\frac{g_{f} }{g_{i} } e^{-\frac{\Delta E}{kT} }$

Where $k =$ boltzmann constant = $8.62 \times 10^{-5} \frac{eV}{K}$

$\frac{1}{2 \times 10^{6} } =4 e^{-\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }$

$8 \times 10^{6} } = e^{\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }$

$\ln(8 \times 10^{6}) = {\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} T} }$

$T = {\frac{7.5 eV}{8.62 \times 10^{-5} \ln(8 \times 10^{6})} }$

$T = 5473.87$ K

Therefore, the temperature of star is 5473.87 K

How are humans able to perceive light waves? Sound waves?

Vesna [10]

Sound and light are similar in that both are forms of energy that travel in waves. They both have properties of wavelength, freqency and amplitude. ... Sound is a form of mechanical energy caused by vibrations of matter. Light is electromagnetic energy caused by interacting electric and magnetic fields.

When a board with a box on it is slowly tilted to larger and larger angle, common experience shows that the box will at some poi

eimsori [14]

Answer: The force of kinetic friction is smaller than that of static friction, but F_g remains the same.

Explanation:

The situation is same as when a book is pushed with an increasing force on a table; When the force is low, book doesn't move, until that under a given force starts moving, and then it goes on movement even if the force decreases a bit.

The physical explanation for this, that friction force adopts any value needed to avoid to move the object, till a limit value is achieved, called static friction force, equal to the normal force times the static friction coefficient.

Once in movement, the kinetic friction coefficient replaces the static one , and in general is lower than the static one, so the force diminishes.

In the case of the box sliding down the board, the force that tries to move the object down the board, is the component of the weight parallel to the board, that can be showed that being equal to the weight times the sinus of the angle of the board with the horizontal, as follows:

F_g = m g sin θ

When θ increases, F_g does the same, so friction force always has the same magnitude than F_g (but opposite direction) so the box doesn't move, till that θ takes a value that produces a F_g equal to static friction force.

Beyond this limit angle, F_g (remaining the same for a given angle) is greater than the kinetic friction force, and the box slides.

In the limit, when θ=90º, sin θ =1⇒ F_g = mg, so the object is in free fall.
