Answer:

A) It requires extremely high pressure.

Explanation:

The reasons why we haven't been able to harness power from fusion is that its energy requirements are unbelievably, terribly high.

12.51 A parallel RLC circuit, which is driven by a variable frequency 2-A current source, has the following values: R = 1 kΩ, L

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

BW = 100 rad/s

wlow = 452.49 rad/s

whigh = 552.49 rad/s

V(jwlow) =1414.21 < 45°V

V(jwhigh) =1414.21 <-45°V

Explanation:

To calculate bandwidth we have formula

BW = 1/RC

BW = 1/ 1000x10x10^¯6

BW = 100 rad/s

We will first calculate resonant frequency and quality factor for half power frequencies.

For resonant frequency

wo = 1/(SQRT LC)

wo = 1/SQRT 400×10¯³ × 10×10^¯6

wo = 500 rad/s

For Quality

Q = wo / BW

Q = 500/100

Q = 5

wlow = wo [-1/2Q+ SQRT (1/2Q)² + 1]

wlow = 500 [-1/2×5 + SQRT (1/2×5)² + 1]

wlow = 452.49 rad/s

whigh = wo [1/2Q+ SQRT (1/2Q)² + 1]

whigh = 500 [1/2×5 + SQRT (1/2×5)² + 1]

whigh = 552.49 rad/s

We will start with admittance at lower half power frequency

Y(jwlow) = (1/R) + (1/jwlow L) + (jwlow C)

Y(jwlow) = (1/1000) + (1/j×452.49×400×10¯³) + (j×452.49×10×10^¯6)

Y(jwlow) = 0.001 - j5.525×10¯³ + j4.525×10¯³

Y(jwlow) = (1-j).10¯³ S

Voltage across the network is calculated by ohm's law

V(jwlow) = I/Y(jwlow)

V(jwlow) = 2/(1-j).10¯³

V(jwlow) = 1414.2 < 45°V

Now we will calculate the admittance at higher half power frequency

Y(jwhigh) = (1/R) + (1/jwhigh L) + (jwhigh C)

Y(jwhigh) = (1/1000) + (1/j×552.49×400×10¯³) + (j×552.49×10×10^¯6)

Y(jwhigh) = 0.001 - j4.525×10¯³ + j5.525×10¯³

Y(jwhigh) = (1+j).10¯³ S

Voltage across network will be calculated by ohm's law

V(jwhigh) = I/Y(jwhigh)

V(jwhigh) = 2/(1+j).10¯³

V(jwhigh) = 1414.2 < - 45°V

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of – 30.0 nC?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

$F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

Explanation:

Assuming the pith balls as point charges, we can calculate the repulsive force between them, using Coulomb's law:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

We observe that the magnitude of the electric force is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both signed charges( $q_1,q_2$ ) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance(d) that separates them.

Replacing the given values, where k is the Coulomb constant:

$F=\frac{8.99*10^{9}\frac{N\cdot m^2}{C^2}(-30*10^{-9}C)(-30*10^{-9}C)}{(8*10^{-2}m)^2}\\F=1.26*10^{-3}N$

How much support force does a table exert on a book that weighs 15 N when the book is placed on the table?

mestny [16]

Answer:

15 N

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This reaction is equal in magnitude to the force acting but in an opposite direction.

Now, if the book weighs 15 N, an opposite equal force will be: N = -15 N

But the magnitude of this will be the absolute value which is 15N.
