Answer:

The maximum temperature rise = 0.047 °C

Explanation:

Potential Energy, P = mgh

Energy transfered, Q=mcΔT

Potential energy  = Energy transfered

mgh = mcΔT

gh = cΔT

ΔT = gh/c

ΔT = (9.81 * 20) / 4186

ΔT = 0.047 °C

RC circuit determines the capacitor's charging rate.

  • In RC (resistive and capacitive) circuits, a capacitor's time constant is the number of seconds required to charge it to 63.2% of the input voltage.
  • This duration is described by a single time constant. After two time constants, the capacitor will be charged to 86.5% of the input voltage.
  • The RC time constant, also referred to as tau, is the time constant (in seconds) of an RC circuit and is obtained by multiplying the circuit resistance (in ohms) by the circuit capacitance (in farads), This transient reaction time T is stated in terms of = R x C, where R is the resistor value in ohms and C is the capacitor value in farads.

In a double-slit experiment, if the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes, how many fringes are contained wi
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Width of central diffraction peak is given by the following expression

Width of central diffraction peak= 2 λ D/ d₁

where d₁ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Width of other fringes become half , that is each of  secondary diffraction fringe is equal to

λ D/ d₁

Width of central interference  peak is given by the following expression

Width of  each of  bright fringe =  λ D/ d₂

where d₂ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Now given that the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes

so ( 2 λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13

then (  λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13 / 2

= 6.5

no of fringes  contained within each secondary diffraction peak = 6.5

Calculate the energy transferred by an appliance using mains electricity (230V) if the charge is 150C. Give your answer in kiloj
Otrada [13]

The energy transferred by the appliance using mains electricity is 17.3 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
  • Potential difference (V) = 230V
  • Charge (Q) = 150 C
  • Energy (E) =?

<h3>How to determine the energy transferred </h3>

The energy transferred can be obtained as follow:

E = ½QV

E = ½ × 150 × 230

E = 75 × 230

E = 17250 J

Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoules

E = 17250 / 1000

E = 17.3 KJ
