Lipids commonly found in fried foods, vegetable oil, butter, whole milk, cheese, cream cheese, and some meats. And as for their functions in the body, they serve as structural components of cell membranes, function as energy storehouses, and function as important signaling molecules.

A 25 pF parallel-plate capacitor with an air gap between the plates is connected to a 100 V battery. A Teflon slab (dielectric c

adoni [48]

Answer:

The change in the charge on the positve plate when the Teflon is inserted is +2.5 nC.

Explanation:

It can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, can be expresssed as follows:

$C = \frac{\epsilon*A}{d}$

Where ε, is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between plates.
When this space is filled with air, ε= ε₀ = 8,85*10⁻¹² F/m.
At the same time, the capacitance of a capacitor, by definition, is as follows:

$C =\frac{Q}{V}$

If we insert a Teflon slab, in such a way that fills completely the gap between the plates, all other parameters being equal, if ε = 2*ε₀, this means that C₂ = 2* C₁. = 50 pF
As V₂=V₁ (due to the capacitor remains connected to the same battery) the charge must be the double, so Q₂ = 2* Q₁ = 5 nC.
So, the change in the charge of the positive plate is +2.5 nC.

Express 0.00000000062 kg in scientific notation. 6.2 x 1010kg 6.2 x 10-10kg 0.62 x 10-9kg

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The scientific notation of the measurement 0.00000000062 kg would be 6.2 x 10^-10 kg. Scientific notation is used to express too large and too small values of numbers. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter. If a pitcher throws a 85 mph fastball, how much time e

Nostrana [21]

The given from your problem are the following:
V = 85mph (This is miles per hour)
d = 60 feet

If you notice the units do not match. Before we can do anything else, we need to make the figures match.

In this case, we will convert 85miles per hour to feet per hour. There are 5,280 feet in 1 mile.
$\frac{85miles }{hr}$ x $\frac{5,280feet}{1miles} = \frac{448,800feet}{hr}$

But wait! If you think about the scenario, you are looking for how long it will take for the ball to reach the bat. The most applicable unit of time to use here is second. It would be very hard to really measure a short and instantaneous event in hours. So we convert it into feet per second:

There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour.

$\frac{448,800feet }{hour}$ x $\frac{1hour}{3,600seconds} = \frac{448,800feet}{3,600 seconds} = 124.67ft/s$

So now we have our new given as:

v = 124.67ft/s
d = 60 ft

The formula for time can be derived from the formula from velocity, which is:
$velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

The formula of time will then be:
$time= \frac{distance}{velocity}$

All you need to do is plug in what you know and solve for what you don't know.

$time= \frac{60feet}{124.67ft/s}$

$time= 0.48s$

The answer then is 0.48s.

If you want this in hours, just divide the value in seconds by 3,600. The answer would then be 0.00013hr. (See how small it is? This is why seconds would be a more appropriate measure.)

When the same masses are heated by the same amount, which of the following substances will heat up the slowest?

DochEvi [55]

When the same masses are heated by the same amount copper will heat up the fastest. Copper is a good conductor of heat that is why it easily heats up. Gold is not a good conductor of heat because of its stable properties.
