Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

A car slows from 27 m/s to 5 m/s with a constant acceleration for 6.87 s. What is the car’s acceleration?

Kobotan [32]

In this case, the movement is uniformly delayed (the final rapidity is less than the initial rapidity), therefore, the value of the acceleration will be negative.

1. The following equation is used:

a = (Vf-Vo)/ t

a: acceleration (m/s2)

Vf: final rapidity (m/s)

Vo: initial rapidity (m/s)

t: time (s)

2. Substituting the values in the equation:

a = (5 m/s- 27 m/s)/6.87 s

3. The car's acceleration is:

a= -3.20 m/ s<span>^2</span>

An electron moves with velocity v⃗ =(5.8i−6.7j)×104m/s in a magnetic field B⃗ =(−0.81i+0.60j)T.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Fₓ = 0, $F_{y}$ = 0 and $F_{z}$ <em> = - 3.115 10⁻¹⁵ N</em>

Explanation:

The magnetic force given by the expression

F = q v xB

the bold are vectors, the easiest analytical way to determine this force in solving the determinant

$F = q \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\5.8&-6.7&0\\-0.81&0.6&0\end{array}\right] 10^{4}$

F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁵ [ i( 0-0) + j (0-0) + k^( 5.8 0.60 - 0.81 67) ]

F =i^0 + j^0 - k^ 3.115 10⁻¹⁵ N

Fₓ = 0

$F_{y}$ = 0

$F_{z}$ <em> = - 3.115 10⁻¹⁵ N</em>

These capacitors are then disconnected from their batteries, and the positive plates are now connected to each other and the neg

Kay [80]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For charging plates that are connected in a similar manner:

Calculating the total charge:

$\to q =q_1 + q_2 = C_1V_1 +C_2V_2 =1320 + 2714 = 4034 \mu C$

Calculating the common potential:

$\to V = \frac{q}{C}= \frac{q}{(C_1 + C_2)} =\frac{4034}{6.8} = 593 \ V\\\\$

Calculating the charge after redistribution:

$When: \\\\q = q_{1}' + q_{2}' = q_1 + q_2$

$\to q_{1}' = C_1V = 2.2 \times 593 = 1305\ \mu C\\ \\ \to q_{2}' = C_2V = 4.6 \times 593 = 2729 \ \mu C$
