Answer:

a)  P=0.80

b)  1.25Hz

c)  A=25cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Travel Time T=0.40s

Distance d=50cm

a)

Period

Time taken to complete one oscillation

Therefore

P=2*T\\\\P=2*0.40

P=0.80

b)

Frequency is

F=\frac{1}{T}\\\\F=\frac{1}{0.80}

1.25Hz

c)

Amplitude:the distance between the mean and extreme position

A=\frac{50}{2}

A=25cm

You take a couple of capacitors and connect them in series, to which you observe a total capacitance
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Approximately \rm 5.7\; \mu F and approximately 29\; \rm \mu F.

Explanation:

Let C_1 and C_2 denote the capacitance of these two capacitors.

When these two capacitors are connected in parallel, the combined capacitance will be the sum of C_1 and C_2. (Think about how connecting these two capacitors in parallel is like adding to the total area of the capacitor plates. That would allow a greater amount of charge to be stored.)

C(\text{parallel}) = C_1 + C_2.

On the other hand, when these two capacitors are connected in series, the combined capacitance should satisfy:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{C(\text{series})} = \frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}.

(Consider how connecting these two capacitors in series is similar to increasing the distance between the capacitor plates. The strength of the electric field (V) between these plates will become smaller. That translates to a smaller capacitance if the amount of charge stored (Q) stays the same.)

The question states that:

  • C(\text{parallel}) = 35\; \rm \mu F, and
  • C(\text{series}) = 4.8\; \rm \mu F.

Let the capacitance of these two capacitors be x\; \rm \mu F and y\; \rm \mu F. The two equations will become:

\displaystyle \left\lbrace \begin{aligned}& x + y = 35 \\ & \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} = \frac{1}{4.8}\end{aligned}\right..

From the first equation:

y = 35 - x.

Hence, the y in the second equation here can be replaced with (35 - x). That equation would then become:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{35 - x} = \frac{1}{4.8}.

Solve for x:

\displaystyle \frac{x + (35 - x)}{x \, (35 - x)} = \frac{1}{4.8}.

x\, (35 - x) = 4.8.

x^2 - 35 \, x + 168 = 0.

Solve this quadratic equation for x:

x \approx 5.7 or x \approx 29.3.

Substitute back into the equation y = 35 - x for y:

  • x \approx 5.7 and y \approx 29.3, or
  • x \approx 29.3 and x \approx 5.7.

In other words, these two capacitors have only one possible set of capacitances (even though the previous quadratic equation gave two distinct real roots.) The capacitances of the two capacitors would be approximately 5.7\; \rm \mu F and approximately 29\; \rm \mu F (both values are rounded to two significant digits.)

The density of ocean water increases when it
Andru [333]
The ocean's water's density increases when it gets colder.
The molecules in the water get colder and move less, causing it to densify... As though it were freezing (though we all know the ocean hasn't ever frozen)
