A bug zapper consists of two metal plates connected to a high-voltage power supply. The voltage between the plates is set to giv

e an electric field slightly less than 1×10⁶ V/m . When a bug flies between the two plates, it increases the field enough to initiate a spark that incinerates the bug.
If a bug zapper has a 7000 V power supply, what is the approximate separation between the plates?
(a) 7×10⁻² cm
(b) 0.7 cm
(c) 7 cm
(d) 70 cm

Answer:

(b) 0.7 cm

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 1\times 10^6\ V/m

V = Voltage = 7000 V

d = Seperation between the plates

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{7000}{1\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow d=0.007\ m=0.7\ cm

The approximate separation between the plates is 0.7 cm

Amiraneli [1.4K]
So power is considered as the rate of doing work. Base on the problem given, my analysis is that the machine who finish the work faster is machine C. Therefore, in order to finish the same amount of work in a short period of time you are going to expend the most power. My answer is Machine C.

Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2
Tatiana [17]
You can reason it out like this:

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s

                                                                           =  3,600 meters .
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph ! 

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
