Answer:

Magnesium is the correct answer

Explanation:

It is magnesium because as we move down the periodic table group, atomic sizes increase which is as a result of lesser forces of attraction between nucleus and valence of an atom which makes the atom to be prone to leave as electrons so easily, elements become more reactive.

But as we move along the period , atomic sizes decrease because there is a more force of attraction between nucleus of an atom and it valence electrons making it less reactive just as the case in magnesium. Other elements are more reactive than it across the group.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance

maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = $X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL$

where

R = resistance

$X_{L} = Inductive Reactance$

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

$C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}$

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ $\frac{1}{x}$

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

$Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}$

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

$\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}$

$\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}$

${R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})$

${R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})$

Solving the above eqn:

$X_{C} = 4R$

A cylinder which is in a horizontal position contains an unknown noble gas at 4.63 × 104 Pa and is sealed with a massless piston

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure $P=4.63\times10^{4}\ Pa$

Remove heat $\Delta U= -1.95\times10^{4}\ J$

Radius = 0.272 m

Distance d = 0.163 m

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

$dU=Q-W$ ...(I)

Where, dU = internal energy

Q = heat

W = work done

Put the value of W in equation (I)

$dU=Q-PdV$

Where, W = PdV

Put the value in the equation

$dU=-1.95\times10^{4}-(4.63\times10^{4}\times3.14\times(0.272)^2\times(-0.163))$

$dU=-17746.78\ J$

Hence, The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Why does refracting light bend when it enters a denser or less dense medium?

Rzqust [24]

Answer: The light bends because light travels fast but it slows down in a denser medium. For example light refracts in water or it bends after passing through air. When light passes through air ( a less dense medium ) then through water ( a more dense medium ) the beam of light bends because light travels more slowly in a denser medium then it picks up its pace again once it passes. The density of the substance determines how much the light is refracted. I hope this makes sense and I hope this answered your question!! :)
