For purposes of completing our calculations, we're going to assume that
the experiment takes place on or near the surface of the Earth. 

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 m/s², directed toward the
center of the planet.  That means that the downward speed of a falling object
increases by 9.8 m/s for every second that it falls.

3 seconds after being dropped, a stone is falling at (3 x 9.8) = 29.4 m/s. 

That's the vertical component of its velocity.  The horizontal component is
the same as it was at the instant of the drop, provided there is no horizontal
force on the stone during its fall.

Carbon is one of the main building blocks of life. This is what carbon dating is so effective, because scientists are able to tell the approximate age of something that was once alive given how much carbon is still in the animal.

Two 0.2304 cm x 0.2304 cm square aluminum electrodes, spaced 0.5974 mm apart are connected to a 61 V battery. What is the charge
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC

Explanation:

for the distance between the plates d and given the area of plates, A, and ε = 8.85×10^-12 C^2/N.m^2, the capacitance of the plates is given by:

C = (A×ε)/d

   =[(0.2304×10^-2)(0.2304×10^-2)×(8.85×10^-12))/(0.5974×10^-3)

   = 7.86×10^-14 F

then if the plates are connected to a battery of voltage V = 61 V, the charge on the plates is given by:

q = C×V

   = (7.86×10^-14)×(61)

   = 4.80×10^-14 C

   ≈ 0.0048 nC

Therefore, the charge on each plate is 0.0048 nC.
