Hello there.
<span>
At ground level g is 9.8m/s^2. Suppose the earth started to increase its angular velocity. How long would a day be when people on the equator were just 'thrown off'? Why is the expression 'thrown off' a bad one ?

People would not be thrown off.

Let s = rate of rotation 
<span>Let r = radius of earth = 6,400km </span>
<span>Then solving (s^2) r = g will give the desired rate, from which length of day is inferred. </span>
<span>People would not be thrown off. They would simply move eastward in a straight line while the curved surface of earth fell away from beneath them.</span>

Calculate the pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 3. 5 m deep. How does the pressure compare with atmospheric pressure, 10
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

  1.343 atm

Explanation:

The mass of water above 1 square meter of swimming pool bottom is ...

  M = (3.5 m)·(1000 kg/m^3) = 3500 kg/m^2

Then the force exerted by the water on the pool bottom is ...

  F = Mg = (3500 kg/m^2)(9.8 m/s^2) = 34300 N/m^2 = 34300 Pa

Compared with atmospheric pressure, this is ...

  34,300/10^5 = 0.343 . . . . atmospheres

Added to the atmospheric pressure on the water's surface, the total pressure on the pool bottom is 1.343 atmospheres.

A student claims that gravitational fields exist between objects that are not in contact with each other. She creates a diagram
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Option B. The distance between the objects in Figure A is shorter than the distance between the objects in Figure B.

Explanation:

The force of attraction between two masses is given by the following equation:

F = GM₁M₂ / r²

Where:

F => is the force of attraction

M₁ and M₂ => are the masses of the two objects

G => is the gravitational constant.

r => is the distance between the two objects

From the above formula,

The force of attraction (F) is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of their apart.

This implies that:

1. An increase in the masses of the object will bring about an increase in the force of attraction and a decrease in the masses will leads to a decrease in the force of attraction.

2. An increase in the distance between the two masses will leads to a decrease in the force of attraction and a decrease in the distance between the two masses will lead to an increase in the force of attraction.

Considering the options given in the question above, option B gives the correct answer to the question.

Please help me Calculate the total energy stored in the capacitor​
Neko [114]

La fórmula: P = W/t  ó  W = P x t. donde:

P = potencia

W = trabajo

t = tiempo

Otra fórmula de potencia es: P= I x V

Proceso de carga de un capacitor - condensador

Una fórmula muy importante que también hay que tener en cuenta es: V = q/C que indica que el voltaje es proporcional a la carga que hay en un condensador.

De la fórmula de potencia P= I x V y considerando que la corriente es constante (corriente continua), entonces la potencia es proporcional al voltaje.  Si el voltaje aumenta en forma lineal, la potencia aumentará igual. Ver el siguiente diagrama.

Como la potencia varía en función del tiempo, no se puede aplicar la fórmula W = P x t, para calcular la energía transferida. Pero observando el gráfico, se ve que esta energía se puede determinar midiendo el área bajo la curva de la figura.

Energía Almacenada en un Condensador - Capacitor

 

El área bajo la curva es igual a la mitad de la potencia en el momento “t”, multiplicada por “t”.

Entonces: W = (P x t) / 2. Pero se sabe que P = V x I. Si se reemplaza esta última fórmula en la anterior se obtiene: W = (V x I x t) / 2, y como I x t = CV = Q, entonces para saber cuanta energía (W) hay en un condensador usamos una de las siguientes fórmulas:

W = (CV2/2) julios

W = (QV/2) julios

W  = (Q2/2C) julios

, donde:

W = Trabajo (Energía) en julios

C = Capacidad en faradios

V = voltaje en voltios en los extremos del condensador

Q = carga del condensador

Which term means the distance between two bridge supports?
Ad libitum [116K]

The best answer is b - span.

A span is the distance between two bridge supports The supports may be towers, columns, or even the wall of a canyon.

There are many kinds of bridges  but they all fall into three types namely beam, arch and suspension. The major difference between these three kinds of bridges is the distance that each can cross in  a single span.

For example, a modern beam bridge is likely to span a distance of 200 feet, a modern arch can span 800 or 1000feet,  and a modern suspension bridge can span up to 7000ft.

Help me plzzz?? I need help it on the picture
madam [21]

No. 
The acceleration of gravity on or near Earth's surface is 9.8 m/s² ,
not 20 m/s² .

If it were 20 m/s², then you would weigh almost exactly double
what you really weigh now.
