An object is allowed to fall freely near the surface of a planet. The object has an acceleration due to gravity of 24 m/s2. How

Answer:

12 m

Explanation:

The object is in uniformly accelerated motion, so the distance covered can be found using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For this problem,

g=24 m/s^2

and

u = 0, since we are considering the first second of motion

So, substituting t = 1 s, we find

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(24)(1)^2=12 m

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The total displacement is 102 km 51^o north of east.

Explanation:

We can treat this problem as a trigonometric one, so we need to calculate the total displacement on the north and east.

d_n=34km+79km*sin(35^o)=79km

and

d_e=79*cos(35^o)=65km

The total displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{(79km)^2+(65km)^2}=102km

with an agle of:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{79km}{65km})=51^o

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and becomes fully charged. The capacitor is then disconnected, and the sepa
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance is as follows as;

C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, \epsilon _{0} is the permittivity of free space, A is the area and d is the distance between the parallel plate capacitor.

It can be concluded from the above expression, the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance. According to the given problem, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the distance between the plates is increased. Then, the capacitance of the given capacitor will decrease in this case.

The expression for the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor is as follows;

E=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

Here, E is the energy stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance and Q is the charge.

Energy stored in the given capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is constant. In the given problem, as the distance between the parallel plates is being separated, the energy stored in this capacitor increases.

Therefore, the option (c) is correct.

How much heat would be needed to completely evaporate 31.5 g of boiling water at a temperature of 100 "C? Express your answer in
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Heat needed = 71.19 J

Explanation:

Here heat required can be calculated by the formula

            H = mL

M is the mass of water and L is the latent heat of vaporization.

Mass of water, m = 31.5 g = 0.0315 kg

Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2260 kJ/kg

Substituting

            H = mL = 0.0315 x 2260 = 71.19 kJ

Heat needed = 71.19 J
