Answer:

v = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

Initial Velocity of cars (u) = 0

Car with smaller mass = m

Car with larger mass = 2m

Final velocity of smaller mass = v

Final velocity of larger mass v2 = 10

Using the relation :

Initial momentum = final momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

Since u = 0

m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

mv + 2m * 10 = 0

mv + 20m = 0

mv = 20m

v = 20m / m

v = 20

Final velocity of larger mass car will be 20 m/s

As far as the field goes, the two charges opposite each other cancel!
So E = kQ / d² = k * Q / (d/√2)² = 2*k*Q / d² ◄

A capacitor is connected across an ac source. Suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. What happens to the capacitive rea
fgiga [73]

The capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

We know the capacitive reactance is given as,

Xc = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}

where,

Xc\\ = capacitive reactance

f = frequency

C = capacitance

It is given that frequency is doubled, i.e.,

f' = 2f

To find,

Xc =?

Xc' = \frac{1}{2\pi f'C}

      = \frac{1}{2\pi 2f C}

      = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2\pi fC} )\\

Xc' = \frac{1}{2} Xc

Therefore, the capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

A capacitor is connected across an AC source. Suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. What happens to the capacitive reactant of the inductor?

  1. The capacitive reactance is doubled.
  2. The capacitive reactance is traduced by a factor of 4.
  3. The capacitive reactance remains constant.
  4. The capacitive reactance is quadrupled.
  5. The capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

Why do hot stars look bluer than cool stars?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Explanation:

As we know that

According to Wien's law wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature .

  λ.T = Constant.

λ.∝ 1 /T

As we know that star radiates wavelength and this wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature of the star.

The temperature of cool star is cooler than the temperature of hot star that is cool star looks red and hot star looks blue.Cool star have low energy and hot star have high energy.

So option B is correct.

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

James Joule (after whom the unit of energy is named) claimed that the water at the bottom of Niagara Falls should be warmer than
Molodets [167]

Answer:

0.12 K

Explanation:

height, h = 51 m

let the mass of water is m.

Specific heat of water, c = 4190 J/kg K

According to the transformation of energy

Potential energy of water = thermal energy of water

m x g x h = m x c x ΔT

Where, ΔT is the rise in temperature

g x h =  c x ΔT

9.8 x 51 = 4190 x ΔT

ΔT = 0.12 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 0.12 K.
