<u>Answer:</u>

Option A is the correct answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Let the east point towards positive X-axis and north point towards positive Y-axis.

First walking 1.2 km north, displacement = 1.2 j km

Secondly 1.6 km east, displacement = 1.6 i km

Total displacement = (1.6 i + 1.2 j) km

Magnitude = $\sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2} = 2 km$

Angle of resultant with positive X - axis = $tan^{-1}(1.2/1.6)=36.87^0$ = 36.87⁰ east of north.

part 1

mass = ρ x V

mass = 1739 kg/m³ x 3.8 km³ = 6608.2 kg

PE (potential energy)= mgh

PE = 6608.2 kg x 9.81 x 403

PE = 2.61 x 10⁷ J

part 2

megaton of TNT (Mt) =4.2 x 10¹⁵ J

convert PE to Mt:

2.61 x 10⁷ J : 4.2 x 10¹⁵ J = 6.21 x 10⁻⁹ Mt

What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unch

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Potential difference and charge will also increase.

Explanation:

Asking that :

What will happen to the charge and potential difference if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged?

The charge is directly proportional to area of the plate. That is, increase in area of the plate of a capacitor will lead to the increase in the charges between the plates.

And since charge is also proportional to the magnitude of potential difference between the plates from the definition of capacitance of a capacitor which says that:

Q = CV

Therefore, increase in the area of the plate will also lead to increase in potential difference between the plates.

Therefore, if the plate area were increased while the plate separation remains unchanged, the charge and potential difference between them will also increase.

Two balls of unequal mass are hung from two springs that are not identical. The springs stretch the same distance as the two sys

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

b) Springs oscillate with the same frequency,

Explanation:

expression for frequency of vibration of mass hanging from a spring is given as follows

f = $\frac{1}{2\pi} \times \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

k is force constant of spring and m is mass vibrating .

In the present case, if mass stretches the spring by x and remains balanced

mg = k x

$\frac{k}{m} =\frac{g}{x}$

g and x are same for both cases

$\frac{k}{m}$ will also be same for both cases .

Hence frequency of vibration will also be same for both the balls .
