Answer:

Explanation:

Caty  ,  Use   the relativity formula for length.  ( they teach this in H.S. ? )  it's from my Modern Physics in college, A 300 level class  

L = L_{0}\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

L = 3  \sqrt{1-\frac{.95^{2} }{1^{2} } }

L = 0.9367496998  meters

L = 0.94 meters approx

Two boats start together and race across a 48-km-wide lake and back. boat a goes across at 48 km/h and returns at 48 km/h. boat
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

Explanation:

Case 1: Boat 1

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{48}

time = 1 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour

Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.

Case 2: Boat 2

Speed of boat = \frac{distance of river}{time}

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

While going to another end

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{24}

time = 2 hour

While going back,

time = \frac{distance of river}{speed of boat}

time = \frac{48}{72}

time = 0.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 is,

Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour

Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour

Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.

Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.

Hence, boat 1 wins.

All Physicsts over here plz help in these questions!!!!!!!!!
mrs_skeptik [129]
Hello!

First one we can use that PE=mgh so we have

4.37*10^5J/(9.12*10^3kg*9.80m/s^2)= 4.89m

Second one we can use Newton’s Second Law
F=ma and in this case F=mg so we have

g= 3.28*10^-2N/6*10^-3kg = 5.47m/s^2

Hope this helps. Any questions please ask. Thank you.

A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf
mihalych1998 [28]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a  measure of the ability of a capacitor  to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is  a constant defined as:

C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}

To maintain C constant, if Q increases V also increases.

On the other hand, the potential energy U can be expressed as:

U=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.
