The time constant of an RC circuit is given by the product between the resistance and the capacitance of the circuit:
\tau = RC
where R is the resistance and C the capacitance.

For the circuit in our problem, 
R=2M\Omega = 2 \cdot 10^6 \Omega
and
C=140 \mu F = 140 \cdot 10^{-6}F

Therefore, the time constant of this circuit is
\tau =RC=(2 \cdot 10^{6} \Omega)(140 \cdot 10^{-6} F)=280 s

A wave is propagating from left to right in a medium. The particles in the medium are also vibrating from left to right. What ki
Anna71 [15]
Based on the direction of propagation compared to direction of vibration, waves are classified into:
1- Transverse waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of the medium particles.
2- Longitudinal waves: The direction of propagation of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of the medium particles.

For the question we have here, since the direction of the wave is the same as the direction of vibration of particles, therefore, this wave is a longitudinal wave

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

at the top

Explanation:

Potential energy is the stored energy, mechanical energy,

or energy possessed by by virtue of the position of an object.an example of potential energy is the energy that a ball possesses by virtue of its sitting at the top of the stairs it being about to roll down the stairs.

A toroidal coil has a mean radius of 16 cm and a cross-sectional area of 0.25 cm2; it is wound uniformly with 1000 turns. A seco
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mutual inductance is equal to magnetic flux induced in the secondary coli due to unit current in the primary coil .

magnetic field in a torroid  B = μ₀ n I , n is number of turns per unit length and I is current .

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x (1000 / 2π x .16  )x 1 ( current = 1 A)

flux in the secondary coil

= B x area of face of coil x no of turns of secondary

= 4π x 10⁻⁷ x (1000 /2π x .16  ) .25 x 10⁻⁴ x 750

= 2 x 1000 x .25 x( 750 /.16) x 10⁻¹¹

2343.75 x 10⁻⁸

= 23.43 x 0⁻⁶ H.

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.

An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 50 cal of heat per second when an e
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

0.69 ohm

Explanation:

Heat generated per second, H = 50 cal/s

Potential difference, V = 12 V

Let R is the resistance of coil.

The formula for the heat is given by

H = \frac{V^{2}}{R}t

50\times 4.186 = \frac{12^{2}}{R}\times 1

R = 0.69 ohm
