A particle of charge Q is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinate system. At t = 0 a particle (m = 0.727 g, q = 2.73 µC is locat

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Q = 12.466μC

Explanation:

For the particle to execute a circular motion, the electrostatic force must be equal to the centripetal force:

$Fe = \frac{K*q*Q}{r^{2}} = \frac{m*V^{2}}{r}$

Solving for Q:

$Q = \frac{m*V^{2}*r}{K*q}$

Taking special care of all units, we can calculate the value of the charge:

Q = 12.466μC

Which switch configuration creates a short circuit?

lara31 [8.8K]

I think the answer would be Switch 1 open; switches 2, 3, and 4 closed. It is letter D. This will happen when there is a low resistance and a high circuit so from the choices above, when two bulbs are open and one bulb is close, so there is a low resistance and high voltage.

What determines if a star turns into a red giant or a red supergiant?

mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

As stars age, they evolve away from the main sequence to become red giants or supergiants. The core of a red giant is contracting, but the outer layers are expanding as a result of hydrogen fusion in a shell outside the core. The star gets larger, redder, and more luminous as it expands and cools.

A vessel with an unknown volume is filled with 10 kg of water at 90oC. Inspection of the vessel at equilibrium shows that 8 kg o

damaskus [11]

Hey there!

In this case, it is possible to solve this problem by using the widely-known steam tables which show that at 90 °C, the pressure that produces a vapor-liquid mixture at equilibrium is about 70.183 kPa (Cengel, Thermodynamics 5th edition).

Moreover, for the calculation of the volume, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the vapor-liquid mixture, given the quality (x) it has:

$x=\frac{m_{steam}}{m_{total}}$

Thus, since 8 kg correspond to liquid water, 2 kg must correspond to steam, so that the quality turns out:

$x=\frac{2kg}{10kg} =0.20$

Now, at this temperature and pressure, the volume of a saturated vapor is 2.3593 m³/kg whereas that of the saturated liquid is 0.001036 m³/kg and therefore, the volume of the mixture is:

$v=0.001036m^3/kg+0.2(2.3593-0.001036 )m^3/kg=0.4727m^3/kg$

This means that the volume of the container will be:

$V=10kg*0.4727m^3/kg\\\\V=4.73m^3$

Regards!

Some headpieces also employ noise reduction technology to eliminate sounds not coming from the earpieces of the stethoscope. How

sweet [91]

Answer:

Noise cancelling headphones have a microphone which listens to the ambient noise. The headphone then processes the sound and provides a wave to produce destructive interference. This cancels the ambient noise.

Explanation:

First, let us understand what interference is. Interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves superpose to form a wave which has a different wavelength, frequency, amplitude than the original two waves. When the crest of one wave superposes with the other waves crest then this results in the amplitude increasing. This is known as constructive interference. When the crest of one wave superposes with the other waves trough then this results in the amplitude decreasing. This known as destructive interference.
