Both matter and light have been demonstrated to exhibit wave-like and particle-like behavior.

Light as a wave: light can diffract & refract

Light as a particle: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering

Matter as a wave: Davisson-Germer experiment

Matter as a particle: find a picture of any kinematics problem in a high school physics textbook

A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area A = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=\epsilon_0 k \frac{A}{d}

where

ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 C2/N.m2 is the vacuum permittivity

k = 3.00 is the dielectric constant

A=30.0 cm^2 = 30.0\cdot 10^{-4}m^2 is the area of the plates

d = 9.00 mm = 0.009 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)(3.00 ) \frac{30.0\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}{0.009 m}=8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F

Now we can calculate the energy of the capacitor, given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V = 15.0 V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F)(15.0 V)^2=9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J

An escalator and an elevator can transport a person from one floor to the next. the escalator does it in 15 s and the elevator t
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The escalator does more work and the elevator has a greater power output.

Explanation:

The escalator does more work on the person because it is carrying them up. It also gives the person a chance to walk up the escalator making it a little more challenging than using just an elevator. The elevator has a greater power output because it can transport a person from one floor to another in just 10 seconds where as the escalator can do it in 15.

Hope this helps!

A scientist at a space research center is doing research on near-Earth objects and determining the kinetic energy of a theoretic
Marysya12 [62]
<span>its kinetic energy is 7350kJ 
</span>

Kinetic energy is given as = \frac{1}{2} mv^{2}

Now, m = 12 gms = 0.012 kg
 And, velocity = 35 kilometers/second = 35000 m/sec

Kinetic energy is given as = \frac{1}{2} 0.012 kg * 35000*35000 m/[tex] s^{2}
                        = 6 10^{-2}×1225 ×10^{6} m/s^{2} 
                        = 7350 kJ

Why is this statement false?
koban [17]

The statement is false because as the temperature of water is decreased from 4C to 0C, <em>expansion</em> occurs.

You should understand that this is very weird behavior for any compound ... within a small temperature range, the stuff actually gets bigger as it gets colder.  That's why cubes float in your sody, and bergs float in the ocean.

Water is one of only two known substances that do this.  And if water didn't do it, then life on Earth would not be possible.  

Hmmm....
