Answer:

The magnitude of air = 392N

Explanation:

We use Newton's 2nd law. The sum of the vertical forces must be equal to zero because at terminal speed , the acceleration is zero. Solving for the air resistance force,F(air ) gives:

EFvertical = mg - F(air)= ma

F(air) = mg = 40 × 9.8 = 392N

Answer: 392N

Explanation:

Newton's second law of motion states that "The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object."

the sum of vertical forces has to be equal to zero because by the time the terminal speed has been attained, the acceleration is zero. Now, we solve for air resistance force.

summation of F(vertical) = mg - F(air) = ma

a = 0 m/s²

thus, F(air) = mg

F(air) = 40kg*9.8m/s²

F(air) = 392N

A. Calculate the electric potential energy stored in a capacitor that stores <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3.40%20x%2010%5E%
sertanlavr [38]

Part a)

As we know that energy stored inside the capacitor is given as

U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2

for a given capacitor we know

Q = CV

Now we can use it in above equation to find the energy

U = \frac{1}{2}QV

U = \frac{1}{2}(3.4\times 10^{-6})(24)

U = 40.8\times 10^{-6} J

PART b)

If two negative charges are hold near to each other and then released

Then due to mutual repulsion they start moving away from each other

Due to mutual repulsion as the two charges moving away the electrostatic potential energy of two charges will convert into kinetic energy of the two charges.

So here as they move apart kinetic energy will increase while potential energy will decrease

Part c)

As we know that capacitance is given as

C = \frac{Q}{V}

here we know that

Q = 3\times 10^{-10}C

V = 35 volts

C = \frac{3\times 10^{-10}}{35}

C = 8.6 \times 10^{-12} F

A. Blue light has higher energy than red light. Write 3 - 4 sentences comparing these electromagnetic waves with respect to the
frosja888 [35]

PART A)

As we know that energy of light depends on its wavelength and frequency as following formula

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = h\nu

now we know that wavelength of blue light is less than the red light so here energy of blue light will be more

also we know that

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}

so here if wavelength is smaller for blue light so its frequency will be high and the speed of both light will be same in same medium

PART B)

Since we know that frequency of blue light is more than red light as well as wavelength of blue light is less than the wavelength of blue light so here blue light will have more energy

When blue light and red light strike the metal surface then due to more energy of blue light it will release some loosely bonded electrons from metal surface which will contribute in current.

here if we increase the intensity of light then the number of photons that contain the blue light of certain energy will be more and that will contribute more current

So here quantification help as we know that due to quantization only certain frequency or energy will lead to eject electron so all colours will not give this current
