Answer:

<em>The volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of mass of a body to the corresponding volume of that body. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³

Mathematically it can be expressed as,

D = m/v ................................... Equation 1

making v the subject of the equation above,

v = m/D ............................. Equation 2

Where D = Density of the feathers, m = mass of the feathers, v = volume of the feathers.

Given: D = 0.50 lbs/ft³, m = 8.0 lbs.

Substituting into equation 2

v = 8/0.5

v = 16 ft³

<em>Thus the volume of the feathers in ft³ = 16 ft³</em>

Answer:

A. U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is its ability to store charges. For parallel-plate capacitors, this ability depends the material between the plates, the common plate area and the plate separation. The relationship is

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}

C is the capacitance, A is the common plate area, d is the plate separation and \epsilon is the permittivity of the material between the plates.

For air or free space, \epsilon is \epsilon_0 called the permittivity of free space. In general, \epsilon=\epsilon_r \epsilon_0 where \epsilon_r is the relative permittivity or dielectric constant of the material between the plates. It is a factor that determines the strength of the material compared to air. In fact, for air or vacuum, \epsilon_r=1.

The energy stored in a capacitor is the average of the product of its charge and voltage.

U = \dfrac{QV}{2}

Its charge, Q, is related to its capacitance by Q=CV (this is the electrical definition of capacitance, a ratio of the charge to its voltage; the previous formula is the geometric definition). Substituting this in the formula for U,

U = \dfrac{CV^2}{2}

A. Substituting for C in U,

U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. When the distance is 3d,

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2\times3d}

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. When the distance is restored but with a dielectric material of dielectric constant, K, inserted, we have

U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Find the final velocity of a 40 kg skateboarder traveling at an initial velocity of 10 m/s that moves up a hill from a height of
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

vf = 0

Explanation:

Since the initial height hi = 0, we can rewrite the energy equation as

vf^2 = vi^2 - 2ghf = (10 m/s)^2 - 2(10 m/s^2)(5 m) = 0

Therefore, his final velocity vf is

vf = 0

Two sticky spheres are suspended from light ropes of length LL that are attached to the ceiling at a common point. Sphere AA has
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

  h’ = 1/9 h

Explanation:

This exercise must be solved in parts:

* Let's start by finding the speed of sphere B at the lowest point, let's use the concepts of conservation of energy

starting point. Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

final point. Lower, just before the crash

         Em_f = K = ½ m v_{b}^2

energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         m g h = ½ m v²

         v_b = \sqrt{2gh}

* Now let's analyze the collision of the two spheres. We form a system formed by the two spheres, therefore the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before the crash

         p₀ = 2m 0 + m v_b

final instant. Right after the crash

         p_f = (2m + m) v

       

the moment is preserved

         p₀ = p_f

         m v_b = 3m v

         v = v_b / 3

         

          v = ⅓ \sqrt{2gh}

* finally we analyze the movement after the crash. Let's use the conservation of energy to the system formed by the two spheres stuck together

Starting point. Lower

          Em₀ = K = ½ 3m v²

Final point. Higher

          Em_f = U = (3m) g h'

          Em₀ = Em_f

          ½ 3m v² = 3m g h’

           

we substitute

         h’=  \frac{v^2}{2g}

         h’ =  \frac{1}{3^2} \  \frac{ 2gh}{2g}

         h’ = 1/9 h
