Answer:

polystyrene is a good insulater so less heat will escape from the cup and it will keep it warm.

the cup helps it become more insulated

A car is moving at 25.5 m/s when it accelerates at 1.94 m/s^2 for 2.3 s. What is the car's final speed? (Keep in mind direction
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

29.96m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 25.5m/s

Acceleration  = 1.94m/s²

Time  = 2.3s

Unknown:

Final speed of the car  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to apply the right motion equation:

    v = u  + at

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time taken

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

      v  = 25.5 + (1.94 x 2.3)  = 29.96m/s

The electric potential inside a parallel-plate capacitor __________.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

\Delta V=\frac{Q d}{A \epsilon_0}

Explanation:

for the calculation of the electric potential inside a parallel plate capacitor you can use the formula for the electric field inside the capacitor.

\Delta V=V(d)-V(0)=\int_0^dEdx

where d is the distance between plates and E is the electric field, which is given by:

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

By replacing you obtain:

\Delta V=E\int_0^ddx=Ed=\frac{\sigma d}{\epsilon_0}=\frac{Qd}{A\epsilon_0}

where Q is the charge stored by the capacitor and A is the area of the plates.

hence, the answer is Qd/Ae0

A retaining wall is 5m long (into the plane of the paper), and it is supported by an anchor rod. The soil it supports has a weig
vekshin1

Knowing that the greatest horizontal pressure is the pressure made by the material on the wall -considering for that the total height of the wall-, then P = 4.375 t/m

---------------------

<u />

<u>Available data</u>:

  • The wall is 5m long into the plane   ⇒  H
  • The soil density is 1.4 metric tonnes per cubic metre  ⇒ γ
  • K = 0.25  ⇒  Coefficient of earth pressure. Depends on the angle.

From this information, we need to calculate the greatest horizontal pressure.

Horizontal pressure refers to the force made by the supported soil on the retaining wall that tends to deflect the wall outward.

We can calculate horizontal pressure at different heights from the top. And since we need to calculate the greatest horizontal pressure, we need to consider the total height that equals the wall height, H.  

To do it, we will use the following formula, and replace the terms.

P  = [ k   γ H² ] / 2

P = [ 0.25 x 1.4 t/m³ x 5m² ] / 2

P = 8.75/2

P = 4.375 t/m

what is gravitational potential of a motionless 20kg rock that is 100m above the surface of the earth
Art [367]
Gravitational Potential Energy = mgh.

Where m = mass in kg.
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2.
h = height in metres.
PE is in Joules

Potential Energy =  20 * 9.81*100 = 19620 J
