If a capacitor's dielectric constant is vacuum its dielectric constant is k will be equal to 1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Relative permittivity of a dielectric substance is referred to as its dielectric constant. Relative permittivity/dielectric constant k is a dimensionless quantity that is the ratio of absolute permittivity and vacuum permittivity.
It is given by the expression
k=k=ε /ε0
where ε denotes absolute permittivity and ε0 denotes permittivity of vacuuum.
Absolute permittivity ε of vacuum= ε0
therefore k= ε0/ ε0=1
dielectric constant of vacuum is 1 .
<span>The volcanoes of USA are located along the west coast, at the subduction of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. During the 20th century there were only two eruptions in continental USA; Lassen in 1915, and Mt St Helens in 1980. Alaska and Hawaii contain currently active volcanoes. hope this helps:)</span>
-- 400 nm shifted to 430 nm . . . longer than it should be; "red shifted"; moving away from Earth
-- 610 nm shifted to 580 nm . . . shorter than at source; "blue shifted"; moving toward Earth
-- 512 nm shifted to 480 nm . . . shorter than at source; moving toward Earth
-- 670 nm shifted to 690 nm . . .longer than at source; moving away from Earth
Now I'd just like to ask one more itty bitty question, that you can think about while you're on this subject: Astronomers really do this. They measure how much the wavelength CHANGED, from the time it left the original source until the time they detect it. But HOW do they know what the wavelength WAS when it left the source ? ? ?
THIS is the part that blows my mind !
Answer:
The two chairs and those sitting on them will move in nearly opposite directions at almost the same speed (assuming that the wheels can only move into two directions - front or back and assuming that the weight of both people are almost the same)
Explanation:
Newton's Third Law states that If an object X exerts a force on object Y, then object Y must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object X.
In other words, when force is applied from source A at B and in direction of B, B also simultaneously returns the force on B and in the direction of B.
This law applies when we jump off the ground when a rocket takes off from the earth into space, etc.
While standing, the body pushes on the earth with a force equal to its own weight. If the ground underneath the body does not meet that force in an equal and opposite direction, both standing on the earth will fall into the earth, with the earth caving underneath it.
You can see why it is important to have a strong foundation for a building and why the depth and strength of the foundation will depend on how much weight is going on it.
Cheers!
