Answer: the eastward movement of winds and currents in the pacific.

El Nino is an abnormal weather condition which occurs due to the warming of the Pacific ocean near the equator. This occurs due to the fact that the sun warms the water near the equator, this results in formation of massive amount of clouds and rain. The westward- blowing trade winds moves towards the equator. This results in change in the air pressure and wind speed causing warm surface water to move eastwards along the Equator and the currents in the Pacific moves towards the coast of northern South America.

An object of mass m travels along the parabola yequalsx squared with a constant speed of 5 units/sec. What is the force on the

Dmitriy789 [7]

Explanation:

The object is moving along the parabola y = x² and is at the point (√2, 2). Because the object is changing directions, it has a centripetal acceleration towards the center of the circle of curvature.

First, we need to find the radius of curvature. This is given by the equation:

R = [1 + (y')²]^(³/₂) / |y"|

y' = 2x and y" = 2:

R = [1 + (2x)²]^(³/₂) / |2|

R = (1 + 4x²)^(³/₂) / 2

At x = √2:

R = (1 + 4(√2)²)^(³/₂) / 2

R = (9)^(³/₂) / 2

R = 27 / 2

R = 13.5

So the centripetal force is:

F = m v² / r

F = m (5)² / 13.5

F = 1.85 m

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$V_1=8 V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A

separation distance of capacitor 2, $d_2=d$

separation distance of capacitor 1, $d_1=2d$

quantity of charge on capacitor 2, $Q_2=Q$

quantity of charge on capacitor 1, $Q_1=4Q$

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

$C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$ .....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}$

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

$C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$

For capacitor 1:

$C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}$

$C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]$

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$ ..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

$V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}$

$V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

& for capacitor 1:

$V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}$

$V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

$V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]$

$V_1=8 V_2$

If the ball that is thrown downward has an acceleration of magnitude aaa at the instant of its release (i.e., when there is no l

kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

At the instant of release there is no force but an acceleration of a, this means the ball is falling freely under the force of gravity. Then the acceleration would be due to force of gravity and acceleration a = g =9.81 m/s^2.

g= acceleration due to gravity
