A parallel plate capacitor can store electric charge and
electrical energy, and if the plates are far enough apart,
you can store your lunch in there too.
Answer:
Explanation:
Velocity of a wave is describe as
velocity =Frequency × Wavelength
Mathematically
v = fλ
Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ
Wavelength λ = v/f
So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.
And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.
Answer:
Incomplete question: The masses of the blocks m₂ = 1.5 kg and m₃ = 2 kg
Explanation:
Given data:
L₁ = length = 0.85 m
L₂ = 0.25 m
L₃ = 0.5 m
m₂ = 1.5 kg
m₃ = 2 kg
Question: Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar, m₁ = ?
The torque is zero (intermediate point of the bar)
Is negative because mass 1 is to the left of the coordinate system (see the diagram)
Answer:
A nuclear winter is a climatic phenomenon that would follow the detonation of several atomic bombs in the event that a nuclear war broke out. These bombs would cause firestorms that would raise smoke, dust and particles into the atmosphere that would end up in the stratosphere and eventually spread throughout the globe.
Explanation:
That idea is far fetched, because even though those same particles would absorb sunlight, it would raise the temperature in the stratosphere and cause a decrease in temperature in the Earth's layer. Unable to seep the sun's rays, many plant species would die and this would affect the entire food chain.
In addition, that temperature rise in the stratosphere would destroy part of the ozone layer, causing greater exposure to ultraviolet rays. This would end up affecting health and further damaging plant species.
Question:
What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?
A) the electromagnetic force and gravity
B) outward pressure and the strong force
C) outward pressure and inward gravity
D) the strong force and gravity
E) the strong force and kinetic energy
Answer:
The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity
Explanation:
Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.
As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance. So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.
Why is gravitational equilibrium important?
The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.
Cheers!
