Refraction occurs when a wave changes______ as it passes through a different medium.

Determine the capacitive reactance for a 20 uF capacitor that is across a 20 volt, 60 Hz source

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Capacitive reactance is 132.6 Ω.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Capacitance, $C=20\ \mu F=20\times 10^{-6}\ F=2\times 10^{-5}\ F$

Voltage source, V = 20 volt

Frequency of source, f = 60 Hz

We need to find the capacitive reactance. It is defined as the reactance for a capacitor. It is given by :

$X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi fC}$

$X_C=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \times 60\ Hz\times 2\times 10^{-5}\ F}$

$X_C=132.6\ \Omega$

So, the capacitive reactance of the capacitor is 132.6 Ω. Hence, this is the required solution.

A solid uniform cylinder of mass 4.1 kg and radius 0.057 m rolls without slipping at a speed of 0.79 m/s. What is the cylinder’s

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The cylinder’s total kinetic energy is 1.918 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 4.1 kg

Radius = 0.057 m

Speed = 0.79 m/s

We need to calculate the linear kinetic energy

Using formula of linear kinetic energy

$K.E_{l}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E_{l}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times4.1\times(0.79)^2$

$K.E_{l}=1.279\ J$

We need to calculate the rotational kinetic energy

$K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times I\omega^2$

$K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times mr^2\times(\dfrac{v}{r})^2$

$K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times m\times v^2$

$K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times4.1\times(0.79)^2$

$K.E_{r}=0.639\ J$

The total kinetic energy is given by

$K.E=K.E_{l}+K.E_{r}$

$K.E=1.279+0.639$

$K.E=1.918\ J$

Hence, The cylinder’s total kinetic energy is 1.918 J.

Explain what causes spring and neap tides, and identify

Elodia [21]

this is the sample Answer: Spring tides occur when the moon is full or new. Earth, the moon, and the Sun are in a line. The moon’s gravity and the Sun’s gravity pull Earth’s crust and ocean water. This causes tides to be higher than normal. At neap tide, the moon and the Sun are at right angles to each other. This happens during the first and third quarters of the lunar cycle. At neap tide, the Sun’s gravity and the moon’s gravity are balanced. High tides are lower; low tides are higher.
