A capacitor is composed of two oppositely charged parallel plates that produce a magnetic field. That is why when it is placed in a circuit with an induced voltage, it can produce and store electricity. The equation relating this energy (E), the voltage (V) and the distance (d) between the plates of the capacitor is:

V = Ed

So if the voltage or potential difference is constant, then Ed=k. That means that any product of values of E and d would always be the same such that

E₁d₁ = E₂d₂

When d₂ is twice d₁, then d₂ = 2d₁:

E₁d₁ = E₂(2d₁)
E₂ = E₁/2

That means that the energy stored in the capacitor would decrease by a half.

the speed of travel of the moon around the earth, using the formula for the speed of a moving object in a circular path

Svetach [21]

Answer: 1018.26 m/s

Explanation:

Approaching the orbit of the Moon around the Earth to a circular orbit (or circular path), we can use the equation of the speed of an object with uniform circular motion:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{r}}$

Where:

$V$ is the speed of travel of the Moon around the Earth

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24} kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$r=384400(10)^{3} m$ is the distance from the center of the Earth to the center of the Moon

Solving:

$V=\sqrt{6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}\frac{5.972(10)^{24} kg}{384400(10)^{3} m}}$

$V=1018.26 m/s$ This is the speed of travel of the Moon around the Earth

You are traveling at 14 m/s for 20 seconds. What is your displacement?

enyata [817]

Velocity = 14 m/s

Time = 20 s

Displacement = Velocity×Time = (14×20) m = 280 m

The displacement is 280 m towards the direction of motion.

Find the westward component of a resultant vector 85.42 unit, 23 degrees W of N

Sindrei [870]

Since the angle is West of North, therefore to find for the westward component (horizontal component) of the vector, we use the sin function:

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse = westward component / resultant vector

So the westward component (x) is:

x = 85.42 sin 23

<span>x = 33.38 unit</span>

In doing a load of clothes, a clothes dryer uses 16 A of current at 240 V for 45 min. A personal computer, in contrast, uses 2.7

EastWind [94]

Answer:

(a) Total time will be 8.05 hour

(B) Total cost will be $417.6

Explanation:

We have given dryer uses 16 A of current so current i = 16 A

Voltage V = 240 volt

Time t = 45 minutes =45×60 = 2700 sec

So power P = VI = 240×16 = 3840 W

So energy E = power×time = 3840×45×60 = 9396 KJ

(A) Now current in the computer i = 2.7 A

Voltage V = 120 V

So power P = 120×2.7 = 324 W

Now computer is using energy of dryer

So time by which it will use energy is $t=\frac{9396000}{324}=29000sec=8.05hour$

So time will be 8.05 hour

(b) Cost per kilowatt is $0.12

So total cost =3480×0.12 = $417.6
