Explanation:

Given that,

The voltages across them are 40,50 and 60 volts respectively, and the charge on each condenser is 6×10⁻⁸ C.

(a) Capacitance of capacitor 1,

$C_1=\dfrac{Q}{V_1}\\\\C_1=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{40}\\\\C_1=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_1=1.5\ nF$

Capacitance of capacitor 2,

$C_2=\dfrac{Q}{V_2}\\\\C_2=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{50}\\\\C_2=1.2\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_2=1.2\ nF$

Capacitance of capacitor 3,

$C_3=\dfrac{Q}{V_3}\\\\C_3=\dfrac{6\times 10^{-8}}{60}\\\\C_3=1\times 10^{-9}\ F\\\\C_3=1\ nF$

(b) The equivalent capacitance in series combination is :

$\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{C_1}+\dfrac{1}{C_2}+\dfrac{1}{C_3}\\\\\dfrac{1}{C}=\dfrac{1}{1.5}+\dfrac{1}{1.2}+\dfrac{1}{1}\\\\C=0.4\ nF$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Given that the block have two applied masses 250 g at East and 100 g at South. In order to make a situation in which block moves towards point A, we have to apply minimum number of masses to the blocks. In order to prevent block moving toward East, we have to apply a mass at West, equal to the magnitude of mass at East but opposite in direction. Therefore, mass of 250 g at West is the required additional mass that has to be added. There is already 100 g of mass acting at South, that will attract block towards South or point A. No need to add further mass in North-South direction.

For copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm3 and M = 63.5 g/mol. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, what is the drift velocity of electro

viktelen [127]

Answer:

$V_d$ = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Density of copper, ρ = 8.93 g/cm³

mass, M = 63.5 g/mol

Radius of wire = 0.625 mm

Current, I = 3A

Area of the wire, $A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}$ = $A = \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}$

Now,

The current density, J is given as

$J=\frac{I}{A}=\frac{3}{ \frac{\pi 0.625^2}{4}}$ = 2444619.925 A/mm²

now, the electron density, $n = \frac{\rho}{M}N_A$

where,

$N_A$ =Avogadro's Number

$n = \frac{8.93}{63.5}(6.2\times 10^{23})=8.719\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3$

Now,

the drift velocity, $V_d$

$V_d=\frac{J}{ne}$

where,

e = charge on electron = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

thus,

$V_d=\frac{2444619.925}{8.719\times 10^{28}\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})e}$ = 1.75 × 10⁻⁴ m/s

Two 51 g blocks are held 30 cm above a table. As shown in the figure, one of them is just touching a 30-long spring. The blocks

vivado [14]

The concept of this question can be well understood by listing out the parameters given.

The mass of the block = 51 g = 51 × 10⁻³ kg
The distance of the block from the table = 30 cm
Length of the spring = 30 cm

The purpose is to determine the spring constant.

Let us assume that the two blocks are Block A and Block B.

At point A on block A, the initial velocity on the block is zero

i.e. u = 0

We want to determine the time it requires for Block A to reach the table. The can be achieved by using the second equation of motion which can be expressed by using the formula.

$\mathsf{S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2}$

From the above formula,

The distance (S) = 30 cm; we need to convert the unit to meter (m).

Since 1 cm = 0.01 m
Then, 30cm = 0.3 m

The acceleration (g) due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

∴

inputting the values into the equation above, we have;

$\mathsf{0.3 = (0)t + \dfrac{1}{2}*(9.80)*(t^2)}$

$\mathsf{0.3 = \dfrac{1}{2}*(9.80)*(t^2)}$

$\mathsf{0.3 =4.9*(t^2)}$

By dividing both sides by 4.9, we have:

$\mathsf{t^2 = \dfrac{0.3}{4.9}}$

$\mathsf{t^2 = 0.0612}$

$\mathsf{t = \sqrt{0.0612}}$

$\mathsf{t =0.247 \ seconds}$

However, block B comes to an instantaneous rest on point C. This is achieved by the dropping of the block on the spring. During this process, the spring is compressed and it bounces back to oscillate in that manner. The required time needed to get to this point C is half the period, this will eventually lead to the bouncing back of the block with another half of the period, thereby completing a movement of one period.

By applying the equation of the time period of a simple harmonic motion.

$\mathsf{T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}}$

where the relation between time (t) and period (T) is:

$\mathsf{t = \dfrac{T}{2}}$

T = 2t

T = 2(0.247)

T = 0.494 seconds

$\mathsf{T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}}$

By making the spring constant k the subject of the formula:

$\mathsf{\dfrac{T}{2 \pi } = \sqrt{ \dfrac{m}{k}}}$

$\Big(\dfrac{T}{2 \pi }\Big)^2 = { \dfrac{m}{k}$

$\dfrac{T^2}{(2 \pi)^2 }= { \dfrac{m}{k}$

$\mathsf{ T^2 *k = 2 \pi^2*m} \\ \\ \mathsf{ k = \dfrac{2 \pi^2*m}{T^2}}$

$\mathsf{ k =\Big( \dfrac{(2 \pi)^2*(51 \times 10^{-3})}{(0.494)^2} \Big) N/m}$

$\mathbf{ k =8.25 \ N/m}$

Therefore, we conclude that the spring constant as a result of instantaneous rest caused by the compression of the spring is 8.25 N/m.

What do you know about nuclear energy?

aev [14]

Answer:

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity. Ninety-three nuclear reactors in 28 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.
