If the magnitude of the electric field in air exceeds roughly 3 ✕ 106 n/c, the air breaks down and a spark forms. for a two-di

Answer: 39.8 μC

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field generated by a capacitor is given by:

E = \frac{V}{d}

d is the distance between the plates.

For a capacitor, charge Q = CV where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage.

C =\frac{\epsilon_o A }{d}

where A is the area of the plate and ε₀ is the absolute permittivity.

substituting, we get

E = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_o A}

It is given that the magnitude of the electric field that can exist in the capacitor before air breaks down is, E = 3 × 10⁶ N/C.

radius of the plates of the capacitor, r = 69 cm = 0.69 m

Area of the plates, A = πr² = 1.5 m²

Thus, the maximum charge that can be placed on disks without a spark is:

Q = E×ε₀×A

⇒ Q = 3 × 10⁶ N/C × 8.85 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 1.5 m² = 39.8 × 10⁻⁶ C = 39.8 μC.

Which of the following are true about S waves
shusha [124]

Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

  • S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.  
  • They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.

Suppose you monitor a large number (many thousands) of stars over a period of 3 years, searching for planets through the transit
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

2. You must be able to precisely measure variations in the star's brightness with time.

5. As seen from Earth, the planet's orbit must be seen nearly edge–on (in the plane of our line-of-sight).

6. You must repeatedly obtain spectra of the star that the planet orbits.

Explanation:

The transit method is a very important and effective tool for discovering new exoplanets (the planets orbiting other stars out of the solar system). In this method the stars are observed for a long duration. When the exoplanet will cross in front of theses stars as seen from Earth, the brightness of the star will dip. To observe this dip following conditions must be met:

1. The orbit of the planet should be co-planar with the plane of our line of sight. Then only its transition can be observed.

2. The brightness of the star must be observed precisely as the period of transit can be less than a second as seen from Earth. Also the dip in brightness depends on the size of the planet. If the planet is not that big the intensity dip will be very less.

3. The spectrum of the star needs to be studied and observe during the transit and normally to find out the details about the planets.

4. Also, the orbital period should be less than the period of observation for the transit to occur at least once.

A train slows down as it pulls into a station. if the train is moving from your left to your right, what are the directions of t
navik [9.2K]

The directions of the vectors for velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions.

  • The velocity vector is always in the direction of motion of the object. So, the direction of velocity is in the right from our point of view.
  • When there is a positive acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the direction of motion of the object. When there is a negative acceleration in the object the acceleration vector is in the opposite direction of motion of the object. So, the direction of velocity is in the left from our point of view.

Velocity vector is the rate of change of position of an object. Acceleration vector is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Therefore, the directions of the vectors for velocity and acceleration are in the opposite directions.

Two objects, one with a mass of and the other with a force of 30.0kg experience a gravitational force of attraction of 7.50 * 10
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this is

F_g=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2} where F is the gravitational force, G is the gravitational constant, m1 is the mass of one object and m2 is the mass of the other object. We are looking for r, the distance between the centers of their masses.

Filling in:

7.5*10^{-8}=\frac{6.67*10^{-11}(90.0)(30.0)}{r^2} and moving things around to solve for r:

r=\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}(90.0)(30.0)}{7.5*10^{-8}} } Doing all that and rounding to the 3 sig fig's you need gives us a distance of 1.55 m
