Answer:

12.84 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given:

Vertical distance of starting point of van from Springfield (d) = 152 miles

Speed in east direction (s) = 25 mph

Distance traveled in east direction (e) = 91 miles

Let the direct distance from Springfield of the van be 'x' at any time 't'.

Now, from the question, it is clear that, the vertical distance of van is fixed at 152 miles and only the horizontal distance is changing with time.

Now, consider a right angled triangle SNE representing the given situation.

Point S represents Springfield, N represents the starting point of van and E represents the position of van at any time 't'.

SN = d = 152 miles (fixed)

Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we have:

SE^2=SN^2+NE^2\\\\x^2=d^2+e^2\\\\x^2=(152)^2+e^2----(1)

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time 't', we get:

2x\frac{dx}{dt}=0+2e\frac{de}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{e}{x}\frac{de}{dt}

Now, we are given speed as 25 mph. So, \frac{de}{dt}=25\ mph

Also, when e=91\ mi, we can find 'x' using equation (1). This gives,

x^2=23104+(91)^2\\\\x=\sqrt{31385}=177.16\ mi

Now, plug in the values of 'e' and 'x' and solve for \frac{dx}{dt}. This gives,

\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{91}{177.16}\times 25\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=12.84\ mph

Therefore, the distance between the van and Springfield is changing at a rate of 12.84 miles per hour

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.

What is the instantaneous speed at 5 seconds? (remember s=d/t)
TEA [102]
5 seconds is a poor time to ask about, because the speed abruptly changes at exactly 5 seconds.

Up until that time, the speed has been 1 m/s. And then, at exactly 5 seconds, it becomes zero.
_________

It's also a poor question because speed is calculated from the distance covered, but the graph shows displacement, not distance. You can't really tell the distance covered from a displacement graph. For example, if an object happens to be moving in a circle around the place where it started, then the total distance covered keeps increasing, but its displacement is constant.

a. When the electric field between the plates is 75% of the dielectric strength and energy density of the stored energy is 2800
Olegator [25]

Answer: The value of the dielectric constant k = 1.8

Explanation:

If C= ε A/d and

Electrostatic energy W = 1/2CV^2

Substitutes C in the first formula into the energy formula.

W = 1/2 ε A/d × V^2

Let us remember that electric field strength E is the ratio of potential V to the distance d. Where V = Ed

Substitute V = Ed into the energy W.

W = 1/2 × ε A/d ×( Ed )^2

W = 1/2 × ε A/d × E^2 × d^2

d will cancel one of the ds

W = 1/2 × ε Ad × E^2

W/Ad = 1/2 × ε × E^2

W/V = 1/2 × ε E^2

Where Ad = volume V

E = dielectric strength

εo = permittivity of free space = 8.84 x 10^-12 F/m

W/V = 2800 J/m^3

Let first calculate the dielectric strength

2800 = 1/2 × 8.84×10^-12 × E^2

5600 = 8.84×10^-12E^2

E^2 = 5600/8.84×10^-12

E = sqrt( 6.3 × 10^14)

E = 25 × 10^7

75% of E = 18.9 × 10^6Jm

The permittivity of the material will be achieved by using the same formula

2800 = 1/2 × ε E^2

2800 = 0.5 × ε × (18.9×10^6)^2

2800 = ε × 1.78 × 10^14

ε = 2800/1.78×10^14

ε = 1.57 × 10^-11

Dielectric constant k = relative permittivity

Relative permittivity is the ratio of the permittivity of the material to the permittivity of the vacuum in a free space. That is

k = 1.57×10^-11/8.84×10^-12

k = 1.776

k = 1.8 approximately

Therefore, the value of the dielectric constant k is 1.8
