Answer: B. (4, -2)

Explanation:

The vector shown in the image is (2, -1)

Now, the scalar multiplication for vectors works in the next way:

for a scalar c and a vector (x,y)

c*(x,y) = (c*x, c*y)

In our case, the scalar is 2, and the vector is (2, -1)

2*(2, - 1) = (2*2, -1*2) = (4, -2)

Then the correct option is the option B.

(NEED HELP PLEASE) A physics student goes to the roof of the school, 24.15 m above the ground, and drops a pumpkin straight down

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

t = 2.2 s

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m

The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0

We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :

$h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Here, u = 0 and a = g

$h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s$

So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p

Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization
