A 14-foot boat operating under oars after dark must show what color light to prevent a collision?

Tomtit [17]4 years ago

<span>A "White" colored light must be shown by a 14-foot boat that is operating under oars after it is dark, in order to prevent a collision.

Boats which are less than 23 feet cannot exceed a maximum speed of 7 knots. They need to exhibit an all-around white light when it is sailing in the dark.

The other practicable sidelights can also be used instead of the white lights, when they are sailing in international waters.

A parallel plate capacitor with plates of area A and plate separation d is charged so that the potential difference between its
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a parallel plate capacitor of

Area=A

Distance apart =d

Potential difference, =V

If the distance is reduce to d/2

What is p.d

We know that

Q=CV

Then,

V=Q/C

Then this shows that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance

Therefore,

V∝1/C

So, VC=K

Now, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as

C= εA/d

When the distance apart is d

Then,

C1=εA/d

When the distance is half d/2

C2= εA/(d/2)

C2= 2εA/d

Then, applying

VC=K

V1 is voltage of the full capacitor V1=V

V2 is the required voltage let say V'

Then,

V1C1=V2C2

V × εA/d=V' × 2εA/d

VεA/d = 2V'εA/d

Then the εA/d cancels on both sides and remains

V=2V'

Then, V'=V/2

The potential difference is half when the distance between the parallel plate capacitor was reduce to d/2

inysia [295]

Answer:

The metric system is the official system for all nations of the world.

Explanation:

To make measures, it is necessary to have a set of standardized magnitudes to compare things we want to measure. This set of standardized magnitudes is called a unit system.

The metric system is a decimalized system of measurement which has meters and grams as a basic measurement unit. The metric system is the most used in the world, and also, is the official system for all nations of the world.

A resistor, an inductor, and a switch are all connected in series to an ideal battery of constant terminal voltage. What does th
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The time constant τ = L/R represent the time requiered for the curent to get value of 63 % of its maximun value

Explanation:

In a circuit RL ( serie circuit with a resistor R and the inductor L ) when a voltage is applied the inductor will have a reaction, such reaction consist in the creation of an electromotive force which will prevent the current to get its maximun value. The time constant which in the case of an inductor is

τ = L/R ,  represent the time requiered for the crrent to be 63 % of its final value

How much time elapses before the two kittens collide
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

6.8 s

Explanation:

Let's say the west end of the field is position 0 m and the east end of the field is position 250 m.

The position of kitten A is:

x = 0 + 25 t

And the position of kitten B is:

x = 250 - 12 t

The kittens collide when they have the same position:

25 t = 250 - 12 t

37 t = 250

t ≈ 6.8 s
