The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 100 volt potential difference is sudde

Answer:Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuits, when driven by a voltage/current source, display a type of time-dependent charging or discharging since the charge from the capacitor goes through the resistor. When considering a discharging phase, the time-dependent voltage takes the form

Explanation:

Vt = Voe^-t/RC

Vt equal time dependent voltage

R is the resistance

C is the capacitance of the oscilloscope

Given

Area of capacitor equal to 0.1 * 0.002m

Distance between plates equal 1/1000 = 0.0001m

Vo = 100v supply voltage

Resistance R =:1000ohms

Vt time dependent voltage = 50V

To find capacitance C = Eo(A/d)

C = (8.85 * 10^-12)* (0.002/0.001)

C= 1.77 * 10^-11

Solving the equation Vt = Voe^-t/RC

t = 0.6931RC

t = 0.6931(1000)(1.77*10^-11)

t = 1.2*10^-9

t = 1.2ns

It will take the oscilloscope 1.2ns to reach 50V

Why would we expect protogalactic clouds with relatively high density to form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy?
Svetlanka [38]

The higher density allows the protogalactic clouds to cool faster and form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy.

In physical cosmology, a protogalaxy or protogalactic cloud , which could also be called a "primeval galaxy", is a cloud of gas which is forming into a galaxy. It is believed that the rate of star formation during this period of galactic evolution will determine whether a galaxy is a spiral or elliptical galaxy; a slower star formation tends to produce a spiral galaxy. The smaller clumps of gas in a protogalaxy form into stars.

Composition

Since there had been no previous star formation to create other elements, protogalaxies would have been made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen would bond to form H2 molecules, with some exceptions. This would change as star formation began and produced more elements through the process of nuclear fusion.

Mechanics

Once a protogalaxy begins to form, all particles bound by its gravity begin to free fall towards it. The time taken for this free-fall to conclude can be approximated using the free-fall equations. Most galaxies have completed this free-fall stage to become stable elliptical or disk galaxies, the disks taking longer to fully form. The formation of galaxy clusters takes much longer and is still in progress now.

This stage is also where galaxies acquire most of their angular momentum. A protogalaxy acquires this due to gravitational influence from neighbouring dense clumps in the early universe, and the further the gas is away from the centre, the more spin it gets.

A person is standing on and facing the front of a stationary skateboard while holding a construction brick. The mass of the pers
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

0.74 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

We apply the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.

Since the skateboard, the person and the brick where stationary, therefore, the total momentum before collision is 0

0 = Total momentum after collision

(m+M)V + m'v = 0

Where m = mass of the  skateboard, M = mass of the person, m' = mass of the brick, V = recoil velocity of the person and the skateboard, v =  velocity of the brick

make V the subject of the equation above

V = -m'v/(m+M)................... Equation 1

Given: m = 4.10 kg, M = 68.0 kg, m' = 2.50 kg, v = 21.0 m/s.

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = -(2.5×21)/(68+2.5)

V = 52.50/70.5

V = 0.74 m/s

what factors limit the accuracy of a potentiometer and what was the objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​
cricket20 [7]

Explanation:

<em>"The accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, and this can be achieved by increasing the length"</em>

<em />

<u>The factors that are affecting/limiting the accuracy of the potentiometer are: </u>

  1. The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire.
  2. The potential gradient
  3. The current passing through the potentiometer wire.
  4. Area of a cross-section of the wire
  5. Internal temperature.

     

<u>The objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​</u>

If the jockey of the potentiometer is pressed for a long time, joule heating sets in, so that reversing the terminals of the potentiometer will prevent the resistance due to joule heat from being added to the measured resistance, ultimately preventing unwanted resistance
