When two capacitors are connected in parallel and then connected to a battery, the total stored energy is 6.9 times greater than

when they are connected in series and then connected to the same battery.
What is the ratio of the two capacitances? (Before the battery is connected in each case, the capacitors are fully discharged.)

A projectile is fired at an upward angle of 29.7° from the top of a 108-m-high cliff with a speed of 130-m/s. What will be its
german

Answer:

79.2 m/s

Explanation:

θ = angle at which projectile is launched = 29.7 deg

a = initial speed of launch = 130 m/s

Consider the motion along the vertical direction

v₀ = initial velocity along the vertical direction = a Sinθ = 130 Sin29.7 = 64.4 m/s

y = vertical displacement = - 108 m

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

v = final speed as it strikes the ground

Using the kinematics equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a y

v² = 64.4² + 2 (-9.8) (-108)

v = 79.2 m/s

Neutrons incident on a heavy nucleus with spin J 0 show a resonance at an incident energy ER = 250 eV in the total cross-section
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

elastic partial width is 2.49 eV

Explanation:

given data

ER  E = 250 eV

spin J = 0

cross-section magnitude σ = 1300 barns

peak P = 20ev

to find out

elastic partial width W

solution

we know here that

σ = λ²× W /  ( E × π × P )     ...................1

put here all value

σ = (0.286)² × W  × 10^{-16}/  ( 250 × π × 20 )

1300 × 10^{-24} = (0.286)² × W  × 10^{-16}/  ( 250 × π × 20 )

solve it and we get W

W = 249.56 × 10^{-2}

so elastic partial width is 2.49 eV

An ice skater accelerates backwards for 5.0 seconds to a final speed of 12 m/s. If the acceleration backwards was at a rate of 1
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Vo = 4.5 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity = 12 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration = 1.5 [m/s²]

t = time = 5 [s]

Now replacing:

12=v_{o}+1.5*5\\v_{o}=12- (7.5)\\v_{o}= 4.5[m/s]

How does an atom of potassium-41 become a potassium ion with a +1 charge? 19 K 39.10
stiv31 [10]

It is very difficult for an atom to accept a proton. It can only be done under very special circumstances. So A and C are both incorrect. I don't see how D is possible. The atom does lose 1 electron, but how it gets 21 is think air.

The answer is B which is exactly what happens.

A 4-kilogram cat is resting on top of a bookshelf that is 3 meters high. What is the cat’s gravitational potential energy relati
hichkok12 [17]
The answer is 117.6 J

The potential energy of the object is actually its stored energy:

<span>E = m · g · h
E - the potential energy of the object,
m - the mass of the object,
g - acceleration due to gravity,
h - the height of the object.

m = 4 kg
g = 9.8 m/s</span>²
h = 3 m

E = 4 * 9.8 * 3 = 117.6 J
