Galaxy B moves away from galaxy A at 0.577 times the speed of light. Galaxy C moves away from galaxy B in the same direction at

0.731 times the speed of light. How fast does galaxy C recede from galaxy A?

Answer:

The value is $p = 0.7556 c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed at which galaxy B moves away from galaxy A is $v = 0.577c$

Here c is the speed of light with value $c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s$

The speed at which galaxy C moves away from galaxy B is $u = 0.731 c$

Generally from the equation of relative speed we have that

$u = \frac{p - v}{ 1 - \frac{ p * v}{c^2} }$

Here p is the velocity at which galaxy C recede from galaxy A so

$0.731c = \frac{p - 0.577c }{ 1 - \frac{ p * 0.577c}{c^2} }$

=> $0.731c [1 - \frac{ p * 0.577}{c}] = p - 0.577c$

=> $0.731c - 0.4218 p = p - 0.577c$

=> $0.731c + 0.577c = p + 0.4218 p$

=> $1.308 c = 1.731 p$

=> $p = 0.7556 c$

Answer:

The correct answer is "6666.67 N".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Mass,

m = 0.100

Relative speed,

v = 4.00 x 10³

time,

t = 6.00 x 10⁻⁸

As we know,

⇒ $F=m(\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} )$

On substituting the given values, we get

⇒ $=0.100\times 10^{-6}(\frac{4\times 10^3}{6\times 10^{-8}} )$

⇒ $=6666.67 \ N$

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu

Answer:

$i_2=3.61\ A$

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

$q, q_1, q_2$ = charge of the capacitor in any time $t, t_1, t_2$

$q_o$ = initial charge of the capacitor

$\omega$ =angular frequency of the circuit

$i, i_1, i_2$ = current through the circuit in any time $t, t_1, t_2$

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

$q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )$

The current is the derivative of the charge

$\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).$

We are given

$q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}$

It means that

$q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]$

$i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]$

From eq 1:

$\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}$

From eq 2:

$\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}$

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

$sin^2x+cos^2x=1$

$\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1$

Operating

$\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2$

Solving for $q_o$

$\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}$

Now we know the value of $q_0$ , we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time $t_2$ , and solve for $i_2$

$\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2$

Solving for $i_2$

$\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}$

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

$\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz$

$w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s$

$\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}$

$q_0=0.01166\ c$

Finally

$\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}$

$i_2=5\ A$

Explain how grality and electric charge are different

stich3 [128]

A difference between the two forces is the fact that gravitation only attracts, while electrical forces attract when the electrical charges are opposite and repel if the charges are similar. Thus, gravitation is considered a monopole force, while electrostatics is a dipole force. Please mark me as a brainiest!!!
