Answer: $1.089\times 10^5\ A$

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged $Q=9.7\C$

time taken $t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s$

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A$

Therefore, the average current is $1.089\times 10^5\ A$

romanna [79]

Answer:

138.3 days

Explanation:

Given that a Planet Ayanna has a radius of 6.2 X 10%m and orbits the star named Dayli in 98 days. A new neighboring planet Clayton J-21 has been discovered and has a radius of 7.8 X 10 meters.

The period of time for Clayton J-21 to orbit Dayli can be calculated by using Kepler law.

T^2 is proportional to r^3

That is,

T^2/r^3 = constant

98^2 / 62^3 = T^2 / 78^3

Make T^2 the subject of formula.

T^2 = 98^2 / 62^3 × 78^3

T^2 = 19123.2

T = sqrt ( 19123.2 )

T = 138.2867 days

Therefore, the period of time for Clayton J-21 to orbit Dayli is 138.3 days approximately.

The FM radio band in most places goes from frequencies of about 89 MHz to 106 MHz. How long is the wavelength of the radiation a

ohaa [14]

Answer:

2.83 m

Explanation:

The relationship between frequency and wavelength for an electromagnetic wave is given by

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$f$ is the frequency

For the FM radio waves in this problem, we have:

$f_1=89 MHz=89\cdot 10^6 Hz$ is the minimum frequency, so the maximum wavelength is

$\lambda_2=\frac{c}{f_1}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{89\cdot 10^6}=3.37 m$

The maximum frequency is instead

$f_2=106 MHz=106\cdot 10^6 Hz$

Therefore, the minimum wavelength is

$\lambda_1=\frac{c}{f_2}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{106\cdot 10^6}=2.83 m$

So, the wavelength at the beginning of the range is 2.83 m.

A solid circular disk has a mass of 1.2 kg and a radius of 0.16m. Each of three identical thin rods has a mass of 0.16kg. The ro

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

0.027648 kgm²

Explanation:

M = Mass of disc = 1.2 kg

r = Radius of disc = 0.16 m

m = Mass of rod = 0.16 kg

R = Rod distance = 0.16 m

Moment of inertia of disk is given by

$I_1=\dfrac{1}{2}Mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=\dfrac{1}{2}1.2\times 0.16^2\\\Rightarrow I_1=0.01536\ kgm^2$

Moment of inertia of the three rods

$I_2=3mr^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=3\times 0.16\times 0.16^2\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.012288\ kgm^2$

The total moment of inertia is given by

$I=I_1+I_2=0.01536+0.012288\\\Rightarrow I=0.027648\ kgm^2$

The moment of inertia of the stool with respect to an axis that is perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center is 0.027648 kgm²
