Answer:

-3 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the final position minus the initial position.

Δx = x − x₀

Δx = -3 m − 0 m

Δx = -3 m

Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) required to convert 97.6 g of water to steam at 100° C. (The molar heat of vaporization of

Ratling [72]

Answer:

221.17 kJ

Explanation: Note the heat of vaporization is in kJ/mol,then to determine the number of moles of water: divide the mass by 18. Then multiply the number of moles by the molar heat of vaporization of water.

N = 97.6 ÷ 18

Q=molar heat *moles

Q = (40.79) * (97.6 ÷ 18)

This is approximately 221.17 kJ

A charging RC circuit controls the intermittent windshield wipers in a car. The emf is 12.0 V. The wipers are triggered when the

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$R=803k\Omega$

Explanation:

We have the following information,

$V_0 = 12V\\V=10V\\c= 1.25*10^{-6}F\\t=1.8s$

We apply the equation for capacitor charging the voltage across it,

$V=V_0 (1-e^{-t/x})\\e^{-t/x}=1-(\frac{V}{V_0})\\-\frac{t}{Rc}=ln(\frac{V}{V_0})\\R=-\frac{t}{ln(\frac{V}{V_0})*c}$

Replacing values,

$R=-\frac{1.8}{ln(10/12)*1.25*10^{-6}}$

$R=803k\Omega$

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 3.63 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.473 mm. The capacitor is

NARA [144]

Answer:

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

Explanation:

Given that

a= 3.63 cm

Area ,A= a²

distance ,d= 0.473 mm

Stored energy ,U = 8.49 nJ

Value of capacitor given as

$C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}$

By putting the values

$C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 3.63^2\times 10^{-4}}{0.473\times 10^{-3}}$

C=2.46 x 10⁻¹¹ F

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2$

V=Voltage difference

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2U}{C}}$

$V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 8.49\times 10^{-9}}{2.46\times 10^{-11}}}$

V=26.27 V

V= E d

E=Electric filed

26.27 = E x 0.473 x 10⁻³

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

If I turn on a light in a spaceship traveling 1C BACKWARDS, what happens to the photons? Speed -0-, or 1C in opposite direction?

Advocard [28]

If the spaceship's Physicist happens to be hanging out of one side
of the ship, and he measures the speed of the photons as they pass
him and leave the ship, he'll see them passing him at 'c' ... the speed
of light.

When those photons pass somebody who happens to be in their
path, and he decides to measure their speed, he'll see them move
past him at 'c' ... the speed of light.

It doesn't matter whether the observer who measures them is
moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what source the photons come from, or
whether the source is moving, or at what speed.

And it doesn't matter what the photons' wavelength/frequency is ...
anything from radio to gamma rays.

The photons pass everybody at 'c' ... the speed of light.

Yes, I hear you. That can't be true. It's crazy.
Maybe it's crazy, but it's true.
