A 6- F capacitor is charged to 90 V and is then connected across a 700- resistor. What is the initial charge on the capacitor

Lorico [155]

Answer:

540C.

Explanation:

A capacitor of capacitance C when charged to a voltage of V will have a charge Q given as follows;

Q = CV ----------(i)

From the question, the initial charge on the capacitor is the charge on it before it was connected to the resistor. In other words, the initial charge on the capacitor will have a maximum value which can be calculated using equation (i) above.

Where;

C = 6F

V = 90V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

Q = 6 x 90

Q = 540 C

Therefore, the initial charge on the capacitor is 540C.

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, $\Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m$

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}$

$d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m$

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}$

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}$

So,

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}$

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}$

$\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m$

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

(d) Suppose you use a spring to launch a payload horizontally from the asteroid so that the payload ends up far from the asteroi

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

ks= 133.2 N/m

Explanation:

Assuming that we can neglect the gravitational potential energy of the mass, and that no other forces acting on the payload, total mechanical energy must be conserved.
This energy, at any time, is part elastic potential energy (stored in the spring) and part kinetic energy.
When the spring is initially compressed, the payload is at rest, so all energy is elastic potential.
Once the spring has returned to its natural state, all this elastic potential energy must have been turned into kinetic energy.
If the payload is launched horizontally, and no gravity is present,this means that its final speed will be horizontal only also, according to Newton's First Law.
So, we can write the following equation:

$\Delta U + \Delta K = 0 (1)$

where ΔU = -1/2*k*(Δx)² (2)
and ΔK = 1/2*m*v² (3)
Replacing in (2) and (3) by the givens, and simplifying, we can find the stiffness ks as follows:

$k_{s} =\frac{m*v^{2}}{\Delta x^{2}} = \frac{29 kg*(3m/s)^{2}}{(1.4m)^{2}} = 133.2 N/M (4)$
