Answer:

4.408 \mathsf{M_{sun}}

Explanation:

According to Kelper's Third Law, the equation of the combined mass (m₁+m₂) can be expressed as:

(m_1 + m_2) = \dfrac{\text{(distance between stars)}^3}{\text{(orbital period)}^2}

\text{combined mass}(m_1+m_2)} =\dfrac{(6.0)^3}{(7)^2} \ M_{sun}

\text{combined mass}(m_1+m_2)} =\dfrac{216}{49} \ M_{sun}

combined mass (m₁+m₂)  = 4.408 \mathsf{M_{sun}}

A quantum system has three energy levels, so three wavelengths appear in its emission spectrum. the shortest observed wavelength
daser333 [38]
The wavelength emitted is indirectly proportional to the difference in the change in the energy level. For the wavelength 278 nm the change in energy level is significantly high. Further change in energy level is indicated by 454nm light but the difference in energy level for this wavelength to be emitted  is not greater than the previous one. There is a possibility that these subsystems have now very low energy which should result in wavelengths ranging from 700 to 900 nm. There is another possibility that there is some metastable subsystems in the system which may cause LASER emission.

Q.Solve the following circuit find total resistance RT. Also find value of voltage across resister RC.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

14.57 ohms

Explanation:

Here in the figure ,Rb & R₄are in series  & also  Rc & R₅ are in series. As they are in series , ( Rb + R₄ ) & (Rc & R₅) are in parallel . So the equivalent resistance in that branch = ( 2 + 18 ) ║ ( 3 + 12 )

                                          = 20 ║ 15

                                          = (20×15) / (20 + 15)

                                          = 8.57 ohms

Also Ra ( 6 ohm ) is in series with that branch ,. So the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit = 8.57 + 6 = 14.57 ohms.

When a magnetic field is first turned on, the flux through a 20-turn loop varies with time according to Φm=5.0t2−2.0t, where Φm
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

A) ( - 200t + 40 ) volts

B)  b) anticlockwise ,  c) anticlockwise , d) clockwise ,  e) clockwise

Explanation:

Given data:

magnetic flux (Φm) = 5.0t^2 − 2.0t

number of turns = 20

<u>a) determine induced emf </u>

E = - N \frac{d\beta }{dt}

  =  - N ( 10t - 2 ) = - 20 ( 10t - 2 )

  =  - 200t + 40  volts

<u>b) Determine direction of induced current </u>

i) at t = 0

 E = - 0 + 40  ( anticlockwise direction )

ii) at t = 0.10

E = -20 + 40 =  20 ( anticlockwise direction )

iii) at t = 1

E = - 200 + 40 = - 160 ( clockwise direction)

iv) at t = 2

E = -400 + 40 =  - 360 ( clockwise direction )
