1. During the Middle Ages, armies often attacked castles using large siege engines such as the counterweight trebuchet at left.

What challenges might you face if you attacked a castle?

Answer: Some challenges that I could see would be the walls, possibly a moat, tar, and the towers.

Explanation: The wall is obliviously a main problem, trying to get over it or through it is a difficult challenge. The moat (if it has one) means that there is more than likely only one way to get in or out.  If it does have tar it means that the attackers are going to be put in a "sticky situation" And finally the towers, they have people at the top shooting arrows down at you, or throwing things at you.

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 2.00 mm. If a
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

a. 11.5kv/m

b.102nC/m^2

c.3.363pF

d. 77.3pC

Explanation:

Data given

area=7.60cm^{2}\\ distance,d=2mm\\voltage,v=23v

to calculate the electric field, we use the equation below

V=Ed

where v=voltage, d= distance and E=electric field.

Hence we have

E=v/d\\E=\frac{23}{2*10^{-3}} \\E=11.5*10^{3} v/m\\E=11.5Kv/m

b.the expression for the charge density is expressed as

σ=ξE

where ξ is the permitivity of air with a value of 8.85*10^-12C^2/N.m^2

If we insert the values we have

8.85*10^{-12} *11500\\1.02*10^{-7}C/m^{2}  \\102nC/m^{2}

c.

from the expression for the capacitance

C=eA/d

if we substitute values we arrive at

C=\frac{8.85*10^{-12}*7.6*10^{-4}}{2*10^{-3} } \\C=\frac{6.726*10^{-15} }{2*10^{-3} } \\C=3.363*10^{-12}F\\C=3.363pF

d. To calculate the charge on each plate, we use the formula below

Q=CV\\Q=23*3.363*10^{-12}\\ Q=7.73*10^{-12}\\ Q=77.3pC

A student performed an experiment to test the acidity of foods. Put the following steps in the order they should occur. The stud
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Steps in the order they should occur:

  • Observes that there are acidic foods
  • Asks a question about food’s acidity
  • Creates a hypothesis about the acidity
  • Prepares to conduct the experiment
  • The student records the acidity of the food.
  • Presents the results to the class

Explanation:


This question is addressed to reflect on the scientific method, and so it deals with the logical steps that are followed regularly in such process.


It is the observation of a natural phenomenum what sparks the whole process. In this case, <u><em>the student observes that there are acidic foods</em></u>.


After such observation, some minds, the curious minds, start to ask questions: why?, how?, when?, what happens if? Numerous questions might arise, it is the curiosity attitude, that accompanies the scientific mind. So,<em><u> the student asks a question about food’s acidity</u></em>.


The trained scientist then elaborate a hypothesis : a logical tentative prediction which relates a thesis and a conclusion, in the form if _________ then ________, addresed to answer the question. This hypotheisis must be testable, so it must contains objective variables, which can be verified through an experiment by measurements that can be replicated by any one. So, at this point <em><u>fhe student creates a hypothesis about the acidity</u></em>.


The next steps are:

  • <em><u>Prepares to conduct the experiment</u></em>: the student must select the independent, dependent and control variables, and plan the materials and equipment needed, the place, the time, the budget, and the special conditions to perform the experiment.
  • <u><em>The student records the acidity of the food</em></u>: the experiment is run and the data is recorded, and analyzed, to drive a conclusion:
  • <em><u>Presents the results to the class</u></em>: this is how science evolve. The presentation of the results is important because 1) permits the validation of the results by the community, and 2) permits that other scientist use the results to continue with the process, start with a new question, and, might be, to validate a theory or create a new one.

A Tesla Model S (with a mass of 2.2 x 103 kg) can accelerate from rest to
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

a) KEf, This term refers to the final kinetic energy i.e. when the velocity has reached 27 [m/s].

To calculate this energy we must use the following equation that relates velocity and mass to kinetic energy.

E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2}

where:

m = mass = 2.2*10³[kg]

v = velocity = 27 [m/s]

E_{kin}=\frac{1}{2} *2.2*10^{3}*(27)^{2}\\E_{kin}=801900[J]

b)

Power is defined as the amount of energy or work done over a certain time, it can be calculated by means of the following equation.

P=E_{kin}/t

where:

t = time = 2.4 [s]

P = Power [W]

Now replacing:

P=801900/2.4\\P=334125[W]\\Now in Hp\\334125[w]*\frac{1hp}{745w} \\= 448.5[hp]

A mechanic uses a screw driver to install a 1⁄4-20 UNC bolt into a mechanical brace. What is the mechanical advantage of the sys
Serggg [28]

Answer:

15.7 ; 78.5

Explanation:

Given that

The mechanic use a screw driver to install 1⁄4-20 UNC bolt

And, the effort force is 5lb

We need to find out the mechanical advantage

And, the resistance force

As we know that

The Mechanical advantage of a screw = Circumference ÷ pitch

where,  

Circumference = pi × d

 pi = 3.142, D = diameter

So,  

Circumference = 3.142 × (1 ÷ 4)

= 0.785 in

Now

Pitch = 1 ÷ TPI

Here TPI (thread per inch) = 20

Pitch = 1 ÷  20 = 0.05

So,

Mechanical advantage = 0.785 ÷ 0.05

= 15.7

Now Resistance force if effort force is 5lb

We know that

Mechanical advantage = Fr ÷ Fe

Here

Fe = effort force, Fr = resistance force

15.7 = Fr ÷ 5

Fr = 15.7 × 5

= 78.5 lbs
