An air-filled capacitor stores a potential energy of 6.00 mJ due to its charge. It is accidentally filled with water in such a way as not to discharge its plates. How much energy does it continue to store after it is filled

Answers

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

An air-filled capacitor stores a potential energy of 6.00 mJ due to its charge. It is accidentally filled with water in such a way as not to discharge its plates. How much energy does it continue to store after it is filled?

(The dielectric constant for water is 78 and for air it is 1.0006.)

Answer: it continue to store 0.07692 mJ after it was filled

Explanation:

Given that;

stored potential energy = 6.00 mJ = 0.006 J

dielectric constant for water K = 78

Energy stored  U = Q² / 2C = 0.006 J

C = ∈₀A/d { Air}

C = K∈₀A/d  { Water, k = 78 }

so

U = 0.006 / 78

U = 7.6723 × 10⁻⁵J

U = 0.07692 mJ

Therefore it continue to store 0.07692 mJ after it was filled

A 0.53 kg arrow leaves a bowstring at a velocity of 63 m/s. If the arrow was initially at rest and then the string applied a force on it for 7 x 10-3 seconds, what was the approximate average force in Newtons that acted on the arrow during this time?

Answers

Answer:

4770 N

Explanation:

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity and force is the change in momentum divided by change in time.

Given from the question;

Mass of arrow= 0.53 kg

Velocity of arrow = 63 m/s

Initial velocity of arrow = 0 m/s

Change in time = 0.007 s

Finding momentum after the arrow is released as;

p=m*v

p= 0.53 * 63

p= 33.39 kg*m/s

Force is the change in momentum divided by change in time;

F= 33.39 / 0.007

F= 4770 N

D. 8 m/s east
SUBMIT

Answers

Answer:

Option B. 7 m/s West.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Position 1 (P₁) = 3 m West

Position 2 (P₂) = 45 m West

Time (t) = 6 s

Velocity (v) =?

Next, we shall determine the displacement of Ben. This can be obtained as follow:

Position 1 (P₁) = 3 m West

Position 2 (P₂) = 45 m West

Displacement =?

Displacement = P₂ – P₁

Displacement = 45 – 3

Displacement = 42 m West

Finally, we shall determine the velocity of Ben. This can be obtained as follow:

Time (t) = 6 s

Displacement (d) = 42 m West

Velocity (v) =?

v = d/t

v = 42 m West / 6 s

v = 7 m/s West

Thus the velocity of Ben is 7 m/s West

If at some point in time an object has zero velocity and zero acceleration, what does that mean about its motion at the next instant

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Usually, when an object possesses 0 velocity, then the object is expected to be at rest. But like the popular saying, there's always an exception to every rule. There exists cases in which an object isn't at rest, but possesses 0 speed or velocity. Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time, the acceleration becomes negative, instead of positive.

Again, when the acceleration becomes zero, it means that the object isn't moving or it has no speed. And thus, the body is at rest. Every moving body as an acceleration, either positive, or negative. Zero acceleration means the object is at rest, and not moving at all.

Please leave a like if it helped you

At any point in time, when

when the acceleration becomes zero, it means that the object isn't moving or it has no speed. And thus, the body is at rest.

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is defined as the change of the velocity with the time. Acceleration is a vector quantity and is defined by both the magnitude and the direction

when the acceleration becomes zero, it means that the object isn't moving or it has no speed. And thus, the body is at rest. Every moving body as an acceleration, either positive, or negative. Zero acceleration means the object is at rest, and not moving at all.

Now If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.

If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8  rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8 .

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed of 1.1 m/s, how fast is the length of his shadow on the building decreasing when he is 4 m from the building

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=-0.4125 m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

The very first thing we can do here is to draw a sketch of the situation the problem is presenting. (See attached picture)

As you may see in the picture, we can suppose the spotlight is directly located on the ground so the light of the spotlight together with the person and the wall make two similar triangles.

In this case we need to think about the dimensions of the triangle that will change over time. We will call them:

x= distance between the spotlight and the man.

h= height of the shadow.

So we can build a relation between the height and the length of each triangle:

[tex]\frac{h}{12}=\frac{2}{x}[/tex]

the distance between the spotlight and the wall is constant, so I can directly write the 12 in my equation and the height of the man is constant as well, so I can write the 2 directly into the equation.

Next, we can solve the equation for h (since we are interested in figuring out how fast the height of the shadow is decreasing) so we get:

[tex]h=\frac{24}{x}[/tex]

So next, we need to take the derivative of the equation, since the derivative of a position function will give us the velocity at which that position is changing.

First we rewrite the equation like this:

[tex]h=24x^{-1}[/tex]

and take the derivative:

[tex]dh=-24x^{-2}dx[/tex]

we can rewrite the derivative like this:

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{24}{x^{2}} \frac{dx}{dt}[/tex]

where:

dh/dt is the velocity at which the height of the shadow is decreasing (that's why our equation has a negative sign in front of it).

dx/dt is the velocity at which the value of x is increasing. In other words, how fast the man is moving away from the spotlight.

So we can go ahead and substitute:

we wish to find the velocity at which the shadow's height is decreasing when the distance between the man and the building is 4m, so in this case, x=12-4=8m

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=-\frac{24}{8^{2}}(1.1 m/s)[/tex]

so we get:

[tex]\frac{dh}{dt}=-0.4125 m/s[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]d_{i}=465 cm=4.65 m[/tex]  

Explanation:

Using the thin lens equation, we have:

[tex]\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{d_{o}}+\frac{1}{d_{i}}[/tex]

Where:

f is the focal length

d(o) is the distance of the object

d(i) is the distance of the image

[tex]\frac{1}{15}=\frac{1}{15.5}+\frac{1}{d_{i}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{15}-\frac{1}{15.5}=\frac{1}{d_{i}}[/tex]    

[tex]d_{i}=465 cm=4.65 m[/tex]          

Therefore, the screen is at 465 cm.

Rogue waves in the ocean were considered a myth for a very long time, fanciful and fabricated tales of fishermen too long in the sun and on the sea. What basic physics mechanism provides an explanation of their existence

Answers

Answer:

D. Constructive Interference of waves

Explanation:

Rogue waves occur when wave forms arrive suddenly in oceans, thus causing ships to sink within a very short time. The explanation scientists have for this is constructive interference magnified by second-order bound non-linearities. Waves are meant to arrive in a particular direction. During constructive interference, these waves arrive from different directions and in an organized way thus increasing the height of the wave.

This increased height is as a result of the waves not being in a linear form and having sharp peaks. There is also a significant difference between the crests and troughs. Scientists arrived at this explanation for the rogue waves though three experiments conducted in 1997, 2007, and 2015.

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.

a suspension bridge cable is connected to its anchor at a 20 degree angle. calculate the vertical component force on the anchor by the cable. ​

Answers

The question is missing some parts. Here is the complete question.

A suspension bridge cable is connected to its anchor at a 20° angle. Find the vertical and horizontal component of the force on the anchor by the cable.

Answer: [tex]F_{x}=[/tex] 14095.4 N

              [tex]F_{y}=[/tex] 5130.3 N

Explanation: The force applied to the anchor is not perpendicular to the horizontal plane. So, it can be decomposed into 2 components: a vertical component, which is on the y-axis, and a horizontal component, which is on the x-axis.

The force and its components forms a right triangle, so we can calculate the components by using trigonometric relations:

Horizontal

[tex]cos(20)=\frac{F_{x}}{F}[/tex]

[tex]F_{x}=F.cos(20)[/tex]

[tex]F_{x}=15,000(0.9397)[/tex]

[tex]F_{x}=[/tex] 14,095.4 N

Vertical

[tex]sin(20)=\frac{F_{y}}{F}[/tex]

[tex]F_{y}=Fsin(20)[/tex]

[tex]F_{y}=[/tex] 15,000(0.3420)

[tex]F_{y}=[/tex] 5,130.3 N

The vertical and horizontal components of force on the anchor by the cable are 5130.3 N and 14095.4 N, respectively.
