Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

Two astronauts of mass 100 kg are 2 m apart in outer space. What is the

fredd [130]

The force of gravity between the astronauts is $1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$m_1, m_2$ are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have two astronauts, whose masses are:

$m_1 = 100 kg\\m_2 = 100 kg$

While the separation between the astronauts is

r = 2 m

Substituting into the equation, we can find the gravitational force between the two astronauts:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100)(100)}{2^2}=1.67\cdot 10^{-7}N$

A large, cylindrical water tank with diameter 3.60 m is on a platform 2.00 m above the ground. The vertical tank is open to the

zysi [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the geometry of a cylindrical tank and its respective definition.

The volume of a tank is given by

$V = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

Where

d = Diameter

h = Height

Considering that there are two stages, let's define the initial and final volume as,

$V_0 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H$

$V_f = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}h$

We know as well by definition that

$1gal = 3.785*10^{-3}m^3$

Then we have for the statement that

$V_f = V_0 -1gal$

$V_f = V_0 - 3.785*10^{-3}$

Replacing the previous data

$\frac{\pi d^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}H- 3.785*10^{-3}$

$\frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}h = \frac{\pi (3.6)^2}{4}(2)- 3.785*10^{-3}$

Solving to get h,

$h = 1.99963m$

Therefore the change is

$\Delta h = H-h$

$\Delta h = 2- 1.99963$

$\Delta h = 3.7*10^{-4}m=0.37mm$

Therefore te change in the height of the water in the tank is 0.37mm

What is the relationship between the masses of the objects and the gravitational force between them

irga5000 [103]

The relationship between the masses of the object and the gravitational force between them is a direct relationship

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

We observe that:

- The gravitational force is proportional to the masses of the two objects, m1 and m2, so if the masses increase, the force will increase as well (so, this is a direct relationship)

- The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation between the objects, so if the distance is increased, the force will decrease (so, this is an inverse relationship)

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.
