Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>

Complete Question

The compete question is shown on the first uploaded question

Answer:

The speed is  v  =  350 \  m/s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of separation is  d =  4.00 m  

  The distance of the listener to the center between the speakers is  I =  5.00 m

  The change in the distance of the speaker is by k  =  60 cm  =  0.6 \  m

    The frequency of both speakers is f =  700 \  Hz

Generally the distance of the listener to the first speaker is mathematically represented as

       L_1  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2}

       L_1  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2}

        L_1  =   5.39 \  m

Generally the distance of the listener to second speaker at its new position is  

          L_2  =  \sqrt{l^2 + [\frac{d}{2} ]^2 + k}

       L_2  =  \sqrt{5^2 + [\frac{4}{2} ]^2 + 0.6}

        L_2  =   5.64  \  m  

Generally the path difference between the speakers is mathematically represented as

        pD  = L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \lambda}{2}

Here \lambda is the wavelength which is mathematically represented as

         \lambda =  \frac{v}{f}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  \frac{v}{f}}{2}

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

=>    L_2 - L_1  =  \frac{n  *  v}{2f}  

Here n is the order of the maxima with  value of  n =  1  this because we are considering two adjacent waves

=>    5.64 - 5.39   =  \frac{1  *  v}{2*700}      

=>    v  =  350 \  m/s

The value of (997)1/3 according to binomial theorem is
postnew [5]

Answer:

9.99

Explanation:

The value of (997)^1/3

(997)^1/3

997 = (1000 - 3)

(1000 - 3)^1/3

Expanding :

[1000(1 - 3/1000)]^1/3

1000^1/3 * (1 - 3/1000)^1/3

Cube root of 1000

10 * (1 - 3/1000 * 1/3)

10 * (1 - 1/1000)

10 * (1 - 0.001)

10(0.999)

= 9.99

Hence, the value of (997)^1/3 according to binomial theorem is 9.99

A flashlight beam makes an angle of 60 degrees with the surface of the water before it enters the water. in the water what angle
alexira [117]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>

A 10kg rocket is traveling at 80 m/s when the booster engine applies a constant forward force of 60 N for 3.0 seconds. What impu
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Impulse = 90

Resulting Velocity = 89

Explanation:

Use F * change in time = m * change in velocity.

For the first part of the question, the left side of the equation is the impulse. Plug it in.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 90.

For the second half. we use all parts of the equation. I'm gonna use vf for the final velocity.

60 * (3.0 - 0) = 10 * (vf - 80). Simplify.

90 = 10vf - 800. Simplify again.

890 = 10vf. Divide to simplify and get the answer.

The resulting velocity is 89.

An x-ray tube is an evacuated glass tube that produces electrons at one end and then accelerates them to very high speeds by the
laila [671]

Answer:

a)  V = 1.866 10² V ,  b)   V = 3.424 10⁵ V , c)   v = 8.1 10⁶ m / s

Explanation:

a) the potential difference is requested to accelerate the electrons up to 2.7% of the speed of light

           v = 0.027 c

           v = 0.027 3 10⁸

           v = 8.1 10⁶ m / s

for this part we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

starting point. When electrons are at rest

           Em₀ = U = q V

final point. Electrons with maximum speed

          Em_f = K = ½ m v2

          Em₀ = Em_{f}

          e V = ½ m v²

          V = ½ m v² / e

let's calculate

          V = ½  9.1 10⁻³¹ (8.1 10⁶)² / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

          V = 1.866 10² V

           V = 1866 V

         

b) if this acceleration protons is the mass of the proton is m_{p} = 1.67 10-27

          V = ½ 1.67 10⁻²⁷ (8.1 10⁶)² / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

           V = 3.424 10⁵ V

           V = 342402 V

c)   this potential difference should give the protons the same speed as the electrons

             v = 8.1 10⁶ m / s
