3.32µF and 1.64µF    

Since, you haven't actually asked a question, I am going to make a guess on what the question is based upon the data provided. My educated guess is "What are the values of the two capacitors?"    

The formula for the Capacitive reactance is  

X = 1/(2*pi*f*C)  

where  

X = reactance  

f = frequency  

C = capactance    

Let's solve for C  

X = 1/(2*pi*f*C)  

CX = 1/(2*pi*f)  

C = 1/(2*pi*f*X)    

Now with the capacitors in parallel, we have a reactance of:  

I = V/X  

IX = V  

X = V/I  

X = 12.3/0.56  

X = 21.96428571    

So the capacitance is:  

C = 1/(2*pi*f*X)  

C = 1/(2*pi*1460*21.96428571)  

C = 4.96307x10^-6 = 4.96307 µF    

And with the capacitors in series we have a reactance of:  

X = V/I  

X = 12.3/0.124  

X = 99.19354839    

So the capacitance is:  

C = 1/(2*pi*f*X)  

C = 1/(2*pi*1460*99.19354839)  

C = 1.09896x10^-6 = 1.09896 µF    

Now we can setup two equations with 2 unknowns.  

4.96307 = x + y  

1.09896 = 1/(1/x + 1/y)    

y = 4.96307 - x  

1.09896 = 1/(1/x + 1/(4.96307 - x))  

1.09896 = 1/((4.96307 - x)/(x(4.96307 - x)) + x/(x(4.96307 - x)))  

1.09896 = 1/(((4.96307 - x)+x)/(x(4.96307 - x)))  

1.09896 = 1/(4.96307/(x(4.96307 - x)))  

1.09896 = x(4.96307 - x)/4.96307  

5.45422 = x(4.96307 - x)  

5.45422 = 4.96307x - x^2  

0 = 4.96307x - x^2 - 5.45422  

0 = -x^2 + 4.96307x - 5.45422    

We now have a quadratic equation. Use the quadratic formula to solve, getting roots of 3.320460477 and 1.642609523. You may notice that those 2 values add up to 4.96307. This is not coincidence. Those are the values of the two capacitors in µF. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives us 3.32µF and 1.64µF.

An island reports that in the year 2000 there were 240 babies born. That same year, 100 individuals died.
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

+ 140

Explanation:

You can show the natural growth rate by subtracting the death rate from the birth rate during one year and converting this into a percentage.

Here it would be:

240 - 100 = + 140

// if you want to convert it to percentage, you need to know the size of the population

it would be

140 / (population size) * 100 %

Exactly one pound of bread dough is placed in a baking tin. the dough is cooked in an oven at 350 °f releasing a wonderful aroma
Sladkaya [172]
The mass of the baked loaf will be less than the original dough. In making dough for bread, we have ingredients that are liquid such as water, melted butter, food flavoring, etc. All of this liquid ingredients mixed on the dough will definitely turn into vapor. This vapor is responsible for releasing of the aroma of the freshly baked bread.

A -3.00 nc point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.50 nc point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. find the electric
Liula [17]

The electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by

E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge


To find the electric field at x=0.200 m, we need to find the electric field produced by each charge at that point, and then find their resultant.


1) The first charge is q=-3.00 nC=-3.00 \cdot 10^{-9} C, and it is located at x=0, so its distance from the point x=0.200 m is

r=0.200 m-0=0.2 m

Therefore, the electric field is

E_1=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(3.0 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.2 m)^2}=675 N/C

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward negative x direction.


2) The second charge is q=-5.50 nC=-5.5 \cdot 10^{-9}C and it is located at x=0.800 m, so its distance from the point is

r=0.800 m-0.200 m=0.6 m

Therefore, the electric field is

E_2 = (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{(5.5 \cdot 10^{-9} C)}{(0.6 m)^2}=137.5 N

And since the charge is negative, the direction of the field is toward the charge, so toward positive x-direction.


3) The total electric field at x=0.200 m will be given by the difference between the two fields (because they are in opposite directions). Taking the x-positive direction as positive direction, we have

E=E_2 -E_1 =137.5 N/C/C-675 N/C=-537.5 N/C

and the sign tells us that the field is directed toward negative x-direction.
