Answer:

The Current Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Charge Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

Potential difference Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃

The total capacitance Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

Explanation:

According to the attached image;

For parallel arrangements of capacitors, the current flowing through each of the capacitors sums up to the total current flowing through the circuit;

Iₜ = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

Also the charge storage by each capacitor sums up to give the total charge stored;

Qₜ = Q₁ + Q₂ + Q₃

The potential difference across each of the capacitors are the same and equal to the total voltage across the circuit;

Vₜ = V₁ = V₂ = V₃

The total capacitance equals the sum of the capacitances of each of the capacitors;

Cₜ = C₁ + C₂ + C₃

g In 1920, Stern and Gerlach performed an experiment that first demonstrated Group of answer choices energy quantization. space

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

B. space quantization.

Explanation:

In 1921, Otto Stern developed the idea behind this experiment, while Walther Gerlach performed the actual experiment in 1922. The Ster-Gerlach experiment provides prove to the fact that the spatial orientation of angular momentum is quantized. To demonstrate the experiment, silver atoms were made to travel through a magnetic field path.

Before they hit the screen(usually a glass slide), they were deflected because of their non-zero magnetic moment. There was an expected result for this experiment, but the actual observation on the glass slide was a continuous distribution of the silver atoms that actually hit the glass. This experiment was useful in proving that in all atomic-scale systems, there was a quantization of angular momentum.

A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Magnitude = 3.64 × $10^6$

စ = 43.9°

Explanation:

given data

ship to travel = 1.7 × $10^6$ kilometers

turn = 70°

travel an additional = 2.7 × $10^6$ kilometers

solution

we will consider here

Px = 1.7 × $10^6$

Py = 0

Qx =2.7 × $10^6$ cos(70)

Qy= 2.7 × $10^6$ sin(70)

so that

Hx = Px + Qx ............1

Hx = 2.62 × $10^6$

and

Hy = Py + Qy ..........2

Hy = 2.53 × $10^6$

so Magnitude = $\sqrt{((2.62 \times 10^6 )^2+(2.53 \times 10^6)^2)}$

Magnitude = 3.64 ×

so direction will be

tan စ = Hy ÷ Hx ......................3

tan စ = $\frac{2.53}{2.62}$

tan စ = 0.9656

စ = 43.9°
