$V= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} = \frac{5}{15} = \frac{1}{3} m/s$

Average <u>speed</u> = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) =

   (5m) / (15 sec) =

   (5/15) (m/s) = <em>1/3 m/s</em> .

Average <u>velocity</u> =

   (displacement) / (time spent traveling) in the direction of the displacement

Average velocity = (5m) / (15 sec) left =

   (5/15) / (m/sec) left =

   <em>1/3 m/s left</em>.

A number without a direction is a speed, not a velocity.

Four capacitors with capacitance 3.0 pF, 2.0 pF, 5.0 pF and X pF are connected in series to each other. If the equivalent capaci

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Explanation:

If unknown capacitance C1, C2, C3 and C4 are connected in series to one another, their equivalent capacitance of the circuit will be expressed as shown

$\frac{1}{C_t} = \frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2} +\frac{1}{C_3} +\frac{1}{C_4} \\$

Given the capacitance's 3.0 pF, 2.0 pF, 5.0 pF and X pF connected in series to each other. If the equivalent capacitance of the circuit is 0.83 pF, then to get X, we will apply the formula above;

$\frac{1}{0.83} = \frac{1}{3.0} +\frac{1}{2.0} +\frac{1}{5.0} +\frac{1}{C_4} \\\\\\1.205 = 0.333+0.5+0.2+\frac{1}{C_4} \\\\1.205 = 1.033 + \frac{1}{C_4} \\\\\frac{1}{C_4} = 1.205-1.033\\\\\frac{1}{C_4} = 0.172\\\\C_4 = \frac{1}{0.172}\\ \\C_4 = 5.8pF\\\\$

C₄ ≈ 6pF

Hence the value of the X capacitor is approximately 6pF

You are standing at the top of a cliff that has a stairstep configuration. There is a vertical drop of 6 m at your feet, then a

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

4.5 m/s

Explanation:

The rock must barely clear the shelf below, this means that the horizontal distance covered must be

$d_x = 5 m$

while the vertical distance covered must be

$d_y = 6 m$

The rock is thrown horizontally with velocity $v_x$ , so we can rewrite the horizontal distance as

$d_x = v_x t$

where t is the time of flight. Re-arranging the equation,

$t=\frac{d_x}{v_x}$ (1)

The vertical distance covered instead is

$d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where we omit the term $ut$ since the initial vertical velocity is zero. From this equation,

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}}$ (2)

Equating (1) and (2), we can solve the equation to find $v_x$ :

$\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\sqrt{\frac{2d_y}{g}}\\\frac{d_x^2}{v_x^2}=\frac{2d_y}{g}\\v_x = d_x \sqrt{\frac{g}{2d_y}}=5\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{2(6)}}=4.5 m/s$

Answer:

The basic construction, unchanged since Torricelli's experiment in 1643, is a glass tube about three feet long, closed at one end, filled with mercury, and inverted with the open end immersed in a cistern of mercury.

A researcher finds that white bread contains more preservatives and has a higher moisture content than wheat bread. She designs

Crank

For the researcher to accurately measure the dependent variable [which is quantity of mold growth produced] she will need to learn how to quantitatively measure mold growth. The correct option is D. Since the researcher has decided to measure the quantity of mold growth produced by both white and wheat bread, she must devise an effective and accurate mean of measuring the quantity of growth produced by the breads, this will enable her to subject the two breads to the same experimental conditions.
