If the sun generates any mechanical waves, none of them
have ever reached us, because only electromagnetic waves
can travel through empty space.

A parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates is charged by a constant current i. the radius a of the plates is much larger th
Fed [463]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C with circular plates is charged by a constant current I. The radius a of the plates is much larger than the distance d between them, so fringing effects are negligible. Calculate B(r), the magnitude of the magnetic field inside the capacitor as a function of distance from the axis joining the center points of the circular plates. 2. Relevant equations When a capacitor is charged, the electric field E, and hence the electric flux Φ, between the plates changes. This change in flux induces a magnetic field, according to Ampère's law as extended by Maxwell: ∮B⃗ ⋅dl⃗ =μ0(I+ϵ0dΦdt). You will calculate this magnetic field in the space between capacitor plates, where the electric flux changes but the conduction current I is zero.

Heating gas to create plasma can yield?
leva [86]
When a gas is heated to become a plasma, the atoms (or the molecules) of the gas become ionised. In the ionisation, the atoms loose electrons from the exterior energy levels and thus heating to achieve a plasma will create free electrons and ionized atoms (or ionized molecules).

A plasma can not contain neutrons, because neutrons together with protons make the nuclei of the atoms. To free the neutrons from the atomn nuclei there would be necessary HUGE temperatures.

Also a plasma does not contain neutral elements (atoms) or (neutral) molecules, but Ionized atoms and/or molecules and free electrons.

Thus the good answer is d)

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s2. A sling shot fires a rock straight up into the air with a speed of +39.2 m/s. 1. what
Vanyuwa [196]

Given that,

The acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity, u = 39.2 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

To find,

The final velocity of the shot.

Solution,

Let v is the final velocity of sling shot. Using first equation of motion to find it.

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u-gt

v = (39.2)-(9.8)(2)

v = 19.6 m/s

So, its velocity after 2 seconds is 19.6 m/s.
