Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The sum of two vectors is given by :

S = a + b

As we know that vectors have both magnitude and direction. Let us consider that East points in +x axis and west points in -x axis. Let the sum is given by S. So,

S = 15 m + (-9 m)

S = 6 meters

So, the vector sum of 15 m, East and 9 m, West is 6 m not 24 m. Hence, the given statement is false.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Because when you go through east

( +x axis ) then you go to west ( -x axis )

You will subtract -9 from +15

it's become +6

( I talk about the displacement not distance) ( West = - East )

I hope that it's a clear ") .

I need help with questions 4 and 5 because my teacher is not good with explaining them to a better understanding (Geometry)
Helga [31]
Hello! I can help you with this! 

4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.

5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

If you need more help on proportions and using proportions in real life situations, feel free to search on the internet to find more information about how you solve them.

Two circular disks spaced 0.50 mm apart form a parallel-plate capacitor. transferring 1.50 ×109 electrons from one disk to the o
blondinia [14]

The diameter of the disks is 1.32 cm.

If n electrons each of charge e are transferred from one disc to another, calculate the total charge Q transferred from one disc to the other using the expression,

Q=ne

Substitute 1.50×10⁹ for n and 1.6×10⁻¹⁹C for e.

Q=ne\\ =(1.50*10^9)(1.6*10^-^1^9C)\\ =2.4*10^-^1^0C

The potential difference V between the disks separated by a distance d is given by,

V=Ed

here, E is the electric field.

Substitute 2.00×10⁵N/C for E and 0.50×10⁻³m for d.

V=Ed\\ =(2.00*10^5N/C)(0.50*10^-^3m)\\ =100V

The capacitance C of the capacitor is given by,

C=\frac{Q}{V} \\ =\frac{(2.4*10^-^1^0C)}{100V} \\ =2.4*10^-^1^2F

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by,

C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}

Here, ε₀ is the permittivity of free space  and A is the area of the disks.

Rewrite the expression for A.

C=\frac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\ A=\frac{Cd}{\epsilon_0} \\ =\frac{(2.4*10^-^1^2F)(0.50*10^-^3m)}{(8.85*10^-^1^2C^2/Nm^2)} \\ =1.36*10^-^4m^3

the area A of the disks is given by,

A=\frac{\pi D^2}{4} \\ D=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }

Here, D is the diameter of the disk.

D=\sqrt{\frac{4A}{\pi } }\\ =\sqrt{\frac{4(1.36*10^-^4m^2)}{3.14} } \\ =0.01316m\\ =1.32cm

The diameter of each disc is found to be 1.32 cm.
