Answer:c. Frequency

Explanation:By definition frequency is the number of cycles per second, or the number of oscillations per second, measured in Hertz (Hz), then 1 Hz means one cycle or oscillation in one second, 10 Hz means 10 cycles in one second and so on. Also for motors specially is used rpm that stands for revolutions per minute. You could transform Hz into rpm if needed, but for waves, e.g., sound, electricity, etc. is used generally Hertz

A truck is traveling east at 80 km/h. At an intersection 32 km ahead, a car is traveling north at 50 km/h. How long after this m

nirvana33 [79]

The time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

The given parameters:

Speed of the truck, u = 80 km/h
Distance, d = 32 km
Speed of the car, v = 50 km/h

<h3>Principles of relative speed</h3>

The time elapsed when the cars are close to each other is calculated by applying the principles of relative speed.

$(V_r) t = d\\\\V_r^2 = 50^2 + 80^2\\\\V_r =\sqrt{50^2 + 80^2} \\\\V_r = 94.34 \ km/h$

$94.34 t = 32\\\\t = \frac{32}{94.34} \\\\t = 0.34 \ hr\\\\t \approx 20 \min$

Thus, the time elapsed when the vehicles are closest to each other is 20 min.

An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

A railroad car moves under a grain elevator at a constant speed of 3.20 m/s. Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

F = 768 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the elevator, v = 3.2 m/s

Grain drops into the car at the rate of 240 kg/min, $\dfrac{dm}{dt}=240\ kg/min = 4\ kg/s$

We need to find the magnitude of force needed to keep the car moving constant speed. The relation between the momentum and the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{dp}{dt}$
