Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

An electric field of intensity 3.25 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.

jekas [21]

Answer:

$\varphi_1= 796.25 N m^2/C$

$\varphi_2= 0 N m^2/C$

$\varphi_3=686.1 N m^2/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Electric field of intensity $E= 3.25 kN/C$

Rectangle parameter Width $W=0.350 m$ Length $L=0.700 m$

Angle to the normal $\angle=30.5 \textdegree$

Generally the equation for Electric flux at parallel to the yz plane $\varphi_1$ is mathematically given by

$\varphi_1=EA cos theta$

$\varphi_1=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 0$

$\varphi_1= 796.25 N m^2/C$

Generally the equation for Electric flux at parallel to xy plane $\varphi_2$ is mathematically given by

$\varphi_2=EA cos theta$

$\varphi_2=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 90$

$\varphi_2= 0 N m^2/C$

Generally the equation for Electric flux at angle 30 to x plane $\varphi_3$ is mathematically given by

$\varphi_3=EA cos theta$

$\varphi_3=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 30.5$

$\varphi_3=686.072219 N m^2/C$

$\varphi_3=686.1 N m^2/C$

A person kicks a ball, giving it an initial velocity of 20.0 m/s up a wooden ramp. When the ball reaches the top, it becomes air

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) Height is 4.47 m

(b) Height is 4.37 m

Solution:

As per the question:

Initial velocity of teh ball, $v_{o} = 20.0 m/s$

Angle made by the ramp, $\theta = 22.0^{\circ}$

Distance traveled by the ball on the ramp, d = 5.00 m

Now,

(a) At any point on the projectile before attaining maximum height, the velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH$

where

H = $dsin22^{\circ} = 5sin22^{\circ}$

g = $9.8 m/s^{2}$

$v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ}$

$v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ}}$ = 19.06 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

$h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(19sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.60 m$

Height from the ground = $5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.60 = 4.47m$

(b) now, considering the coefficient of friction bhetween ramp and the ball, $\mu = 0.150$ :

velocity can be given by the eqn-3 of motion:

$v^{2} = v_{o}^{2} - 2gH - \mu gd$

$v^{2} = 20^{2} - 2\times 9.8\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5$

$v = \sqrt{400 - 19.6\times 5sin22^{\circ} - 0.150\times 9.8\times 5}$ = 18.7 m/s

Now, maximum height attained is given by:

$h = \frac{(vsin\theta)^{2}}{2g}$

$h = \frac{(18.7sin(22^{\circ}))^{2}}{2\times 9.8} = 2.50 m$

Height from the ground = $5sin22^{circ} + 2.86 = 1.87 + 2.50 = 4.37 m$

Write the relation between horsepower and Watt?

Vadim26 [7]

Explanation:

Horsepower is related to watt as: 1 horsepower = 746 W = 750 W approximately. 1 horsepower (HP) = 750 watt (approx.) The power is one watt when one joule of work is done in one second.

Which best describes a characteristic of an adiabatic process?

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<h3>Can you please provide the choices? For now this is all I can give you.</h3>

Explanation:

In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a type of thermodynamic process which occurs without transferring heat or mass between the system and its surroundings.Unlike an isothermal process, an adiabatic process transfers energy to the surroundings only as work. It also conceptually supports the theory used to explain the first law of thermodynamics and is therefore a key thermodynamic concept.

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proport

netineya [11]

Answer:

$[F]=[MLT^{-2}]$

Explanation:

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration a of an object is proportional to the force F acting on it is inversely proportional to its mass m. The mathematical expression for the second law of motion is given by :

F = m × a

F is the applied force

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration due to gravity

We need to find the dimensions of force. The dimension of force m and a are as follows :

$[m]=[M]$

$[a]=[LT^{-2}]$

So, the dimension of force F is, $[F]=[MLT^{-2}]$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
