<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>GPS works on the signals transmitted and received by satellite constellation</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of around 30 satellites circling the Earth at an elevation of 20,000 km. The concept is simple. The GPS receiver gets a signal from each GPS satellite. The satellites transmit the exact time the signals are sent. By subtracting the time the signal was transmitted from the time it was received, the GPS can tell how far it is from each satellite.

Each plate of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has an area of 45.0 cm2, and the separation of the plates is 0.080 mm. A ba
maw [93]

Answer:

Option (e)

Explanation:

A = 45 cm^2 = 0.0045 m^2, d = 0.080 mm = 0.080 x 10^-3 m,

Energy density = 100 J/m

Let Q be the charge on the plates.

Energy density = 1/2 x ε0 x E^2

100 = 0.5 x 8.854 x 10^-12 x E^2

E = 4.75 x 10^6 V/m

V = E x d

V = 4.75 x 10^6 x 0.080 x 10^-3 = 380.22 V

C = ε0 A / d

C = 8.854 x 10^-12 x 45 x 10^-4 / (0.080 x 10^-3) = 4.98 x 10^-10 F

Q = C x V = 4.98 x 10^-10 x 380.22 = 1.9 x 10^-7 C

Q =  190 nC

Every winter I fly to Michigan. It's a total distance of 3900km. It takes 5 hours. What is my average speed?
olga_2 [115]
\frac{3900}{5} = 780\sf ~kilometer~per~hour

Your average speed is 780 kilometer per hour.

Explain a situation in which you can accelerate even though your speed doesn’t change.
Serga [27]
"Acceleration" does NOT mean speeding up.  It also doesn't mean
slowing down.  Acceleration means ANY change in the speed
OR DIRECTION of motion.

The only kind of motion that's NOT accelerated is motion at a steady
speed AND in a straight line.

Even when your speed is steady, you're accelerating if your direction
is changing.

A few examples:
(no speeds are changing):

-- driving on a curved road, or turning a corner
-- going around a curve on a skateboard, a bike, or a Segway
-- running on a quarter-mile track
-- an Indy car cruising a practice lap around the track
-- water spinning, getting ready to go down the drain
-- any point on the blade of a fan
-- the little ball going around the inside of a Roulette wheel
-- the Moon in its orbit around the Earth
-- the Earth in its orbit around the sun
