Answer:

<h2>A. 6pF</h2>

Explanation:

If unknown capacitance C1, C2, C3 and C4 are connected in series to one another, their equivalent capacitance of the circuit will be expressed as shown

\frac{1}{C_t} = \frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2} +\frac{1}{C_3} +\frac{1}{C_4} \\

Given the capacitance's 3.0 pF, 2.0 pF, 5.0 pF and X pF connected in series to each other. If the equivalent capacitance of the circuit is 0.83 pF, then to get X, we will apply the formula above;

\frac{1}{0.83} = \frac{1}{3.0} +\frac{1}{2.0} +\frac{1}{5.0} +\frac{1}{C_4} \\\\\\1.205 = 0.333+0.5+0.2+\frac{1}{C_4} \\\\1.205 = 1.033 + \frac{1}{C_4} \\\\\frac{1}{C_4}  = 1.205-1.033\\\\\frac{1}{C_4}  = 0.172\\\\C_4 = \frac{1}{0.172}\\ \\C_4 = 5.8pF\\\\

C₄ ≈ 6pF

Hence the value of the X capacitor is approximately 6pF

Describe some ways that industry and agriculture use physical properties to separate substances.

This is more chemistry. But it is a process called fractional distillation, and it basically separates the long chained hydrocarbons from the short chained hydrocarbons through separation dependant on the boiling point of the crude oil.

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.9 m . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than the time of
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

145 m

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength (λ) = 2.9 m  

we know,

c = f × λ  

where,

c = speed of light ; 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency  

thus,

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

substituting the values in the equation we get,

f=\frac{3.0\times 10^8 m/s}{2.9m}

f = 1.03 x 10⁸Hz  

Now,

The time period (T) = \frac{1}{f}

or

T =  \frac{1}{1.03\times 10^8}  = 9.6 x 10⁻⁹ seconds  

thus,

the time interval of one pulse = 100T = 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s  

Time between pulses = (100T×10) = 9.6 x 10⁻⁶ s  

Now,

For radar to detect the object the pulse must hit the object and come back to the detector.

Hence, the shortest distance will be half the distance travelled by the pulse back and forth.

Distance = speed × time = 3 x 10^8 m/s × 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s) = 290 m {Back and forth}  

Thus, the minimum distance to target = \frac{290}{2} = 145 m

A mass of 4kg suspended by a light string 2m long and at rest is projected horizontally with a velocity of 1.5 m/s. find the ang
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

19.5°

Explanation:

The energy of the mass must be conserved. The energy is given by:

1) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh

where m is the mass, v is the velocity and h is the hight of the mass.

Let the height at the lowest point of the be h=0, the energy of the mass will be:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

The energy when the mass comes to a stop will be:

3) E=mgh

Setting equations 2 and 3 equal and solving for height h will give:

4) h=\frac{v^2}{2g}

The angle ∅ of the string with the vertical with the mass at the highest point will be given by:

5) cos\phi=\frac{l-h}{l}

where l is the lenght of the string.

Combining equations 4 and 5 and solving for ∅:

6) \phi={cos}^{-1}(\frac{l-h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{h}{l})={cos}^{-1}(1-\frac{v^2}{2gl})
