Answer:

The force that keeps objects moving in a circle is called centrifugal force. FALSE.

Explanation:

The force that keeps objects moving in a circle path is called centripetal force. It foes this by pulling the object into the center of the circle

N capacitors are connected in parallel to form a "capacitor circuit". The capacitance of first capacitor is C, second one is C/2

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination of capacitors is the sum of their capacitance.

So, if the capacitance of each capacitor is half the previous one, we have a geometric series with first term = C and rate = 0.5.

Using the formula for the sum of the infinite terms of a geometric series, we have:

Sum = First term / (1 - rate)

Sum = C / (1 - 0.5)

Sum = C / 0.5 = 2C

So the equivalent capacitance of this parallel connection is 2C.

A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 1

Bumek [7]

Answer:

202.8m

Explanation:

Given that A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 120 m/s. He misses his target and the cannonball splashes into the briny deep.

First calculate the total time travelled by using the second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that u = 0

And h = 3.5

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

3.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 3.5/4.9

t^2 = 0.7

t = 0.845s

To know how far the cannonball travel, let's use the equation

S = UT + 1/2at^2

But acceleration a = 0

T = 2t

T = 1.69s

S = 120 × 1.69

S = 202.834 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the cannon ball is approximately 202.8m.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V=15.3 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we have to use the energy conservation theorem:

$U_e+K_i+U_{gi}+W_{friction}=K_f+U_{gf}$

the elastic potencial energy is given by:

$U_e=\frac{1}{2}*k*x^2\\U_e=\frac{1}{2}*1100N/m*(4m)^2\\U_e=8800J$

The work is defined as:

$W_{friction}=F_f*d*cos(\theta)\\W_{friction}=40N*2.5m*cos(180)\\W_{friction}=-100J$

this work is negative because is opposite to the movement.

The gravitational potencial energy at 2.5 m aboves is given by:

$U_{gf}=m*g*h\\U_{gf}=60kg*9.8*2.5\\U_{gf}=1470J$

the gravitational potential energy at the ground and the kinetic energy at the begining are 0.

$8800J+0+0+-100J=\frac{1}{2}*62kg*v^2+1470J\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2(8800J-100J-1470J)}{62kg}}\\v=15.3m/s$

A scuba diver at 70 m below the surface of a lake, where the temperature is 4 degrees C, releases an air bubble with a volume of

posledela

Answer:

121.3 cm^3

Explanation:

P1 = Po + 70 m water pressure (at a depth)

P2 = Po (at the surface)

T1 = 4°C = 273 + 4 = 277 K

V1 = 14 cm^3

T2 = 23 °C = 273 + 23 = 300 K

Let the volume of bubble at the surface of the lake is V2.

Density of water, d = 1000 kg/m^3

Po = atmospheric pressure = 10^5 N/m^2

P1 = 10^5 + 70 x 1000 x 10 = 8 x 10^5 N/m^2

Use the ideal gas equation

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

By substituting the values, we get

$\frac{8\times 10^5\times 14}{277}=\frac{10^{5} \timesV_{2}}{300}$

V2 = 121.3 cm^3

Thus, the volume of bubble at the surface of lake is 121.3 cm^3.
