Answer: Infrared light

Explanation:

Infrared light is an electromagnetic radiation which has longer wavelength than visible light.

cool and faint objects are difficult to be detected using visible light.

Infrared light can pass through dust and clouds of gases. Thus, it is the best way to study the young stars hidden behind interstellar dust clouds.

If a car crashes into another car like this, the wreck should go nowhere. Besides this being an unrealistic question, the physics of it would look like this:

Momentum before and after the collision is conserved.

Momentum before the collision:
p = m * v = 50000kg * 24m/s + 55000kg * 0m/s = 50000kg * 24m/s
Momentum after the collision:
p = m * v = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Setting both momenta equal:
50000kg * 24m/s = (50000kg + 55000kg) * v

Solving for the velocity v:
v = 50000kg * 24m/s/(50000kg + 55000kg) = 11,43m/s

There is a parallel plate capacitor. Both plates are 4x2 cm and are 10 cm apart. The top plate has surface charge density of 10C

liberstina [14]

Answer:

1) The total charge of the top plate is 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate is -0.008 C

2) The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates is 0

3) The electric field between plates is approximately 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates is approximately 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The given parameters of the parallel plate capacitor are;

The dimensions of the plates = 4 × 2 cm

The distance between the plates = 10 cm

The surface charge density of the top plate, σ₁ = 10 C/m²

The surface charge density of the bottom plate, σ₂ = -10 C/m²

The surface area, A = 0.04 m × 0.02 m = 0.0008 m²

1) The total charge of the top plate, Q = σ₁ × A = 0.0008 m² × 10 C/m² = 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate, Q = σ₂ × A = 0.0008 m² × -10 C/m² = -0.008 C

2) The electrical field at the point exactly midway between the plates is given as follows;

$V_{tot} = V_{q1} + V_{q2}$

$V_q = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{r}$

Therefore, we have;

The distance to the midpoint between the two plates = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

$V_{tot} = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} + \dfrac{k \cdot (-q)}{0.05} = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} - \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} = 0$

The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates, $V_{tot}$ = 0

3) The electric field, 'E', between plates is given as follows;

$E =\dfrac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0 } = \dfrac{10 \ C/m^2}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2/(N\cdot m^2)} \approx 1.1294 \times 10^{12}\ N/C$

E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

The electric field between plates, E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates

The charge on an electron, e = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, $F_e$ = E × e

∴ $F_e$ = 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C × -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, $F_e$ ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Suppose the maximum power delivered by a car's engine results in a force of 16000 N on the car by the road. In the absence of an

joja [24]

Answer:

Approximately $9.7\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .

Explanation:

Assuming that there is no other force on this vehicle, the $16000\; \rm N$ force from the road would be the only force on this vehicle. The net force would then be equal to this $16000\; \rm N\!$ force. The size of the net force would be $16000\; \rm N\!\!$ .

Let $m$ denote the mass of this vehicle and let $\Sigma F$ denote the net force on this vehicle.

By Newton's Second Law of motion, the acceleration of this vehicle would be proportional to the net force on this vehicle. In other words, the acceleration of this vehicle, $a$ , would be:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{\Sigma F}{m}\end{aligned}$ .

For this vehicle, $\Sigma F = 16000\; \rm N$ whereas $m = 1650\; \rm kg$ . The acceleration of this vehicle would be:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{16000\; \rm N}{1650\; \rm kg} \\ &= \frac{16000\; \rm kg \cdot m\cdot s^{-2}}{1650\; \rm kg}\\ &\approx 9.7 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\end{aligned}$ .

a stomp rocket takes 1.5 seconds to reach its maximum height what was the initial velocity and what was the maximum height ?

Zinaida [17]

1) Vf = Vo - gt; Vf = 0 => Vo = gt = 9.8m/s^2 * 1.5s = 14.7 m/s

2) d = Vo*t - gt^2 /2 = 14.7m/s*1.5 - 9.8m/s^2 * (1.5s)^2 / 2 = 11.02 m
