<span>This question can be solved as follows:

Answer:

Manufacturer A: 0.2784 or 27.84%

Manufacturer B: 0.2779 or 27.79%

Therefore, there is not much of a relevant difference but still manufacturer A has a better offer.

Explanation:

calculating the equivalent final discount rate using the formula:

FD= [1- (1-D1(%)) x (1-D2(%))]

D1: first discount to retail price (%)

D2: second discount to the first net price (%)

FD: Final equivalent discount rate (%)

observation: the expression can always be expanded to add more chain discounts using the same principles.

*Manufacturer A 18/12

Chain Discount:  D1= 18 D2= 12

FD= [1- (1- 0.18) x (1-0.12)] ≅ 0.2784

* Manufacturer B 17/13

Chain Discount: D1= 17 D2= 13

FD= [1- (1- 0.17) x (1-0.13)] ≅ 0.2779

A toy cannon uses a spring to project a 5.24-g soft rubber ball. The spring is originally compressed by 5.01 cm and has a force
salantis [7]

Answer:

Speed will be equal to 1.40 m/sec

Explanation:

Mass of the rubber ball m = 5.24 kg = 0.00524 kg

Spring is compressed by 5.01 cm

So x = 5.01 cm = 0.0501 m

Spring constant k = 8.08 N/m

Frictional force f = 0.031 N

Distance moved by ball d = 15.8 cm = 0.158 m

Energy gained by spring

KE=\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 8.08\times 0.0501^2=0.0101J

Energy lost due to friction

W=Fd=0.031\times 0.158=0.0048J

So remained energy to move the ball = 0.0101 - 0.0048 = 0.0052 J

This energy will be kinetic energy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=0.0052

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.00524\times v^2=0.0052

v = 1.40 m/sec

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves? Select all that apply.
steposvetlana [31]
<h2>Answers:</h2>

-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).  

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.  

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources .

Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.

A parallel plate capacitor stores charge, and thus, stores energy in the form of electric potential energy. The total energy sto
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The charges on the plates,

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

The gold foil experiment led to the conclusion that each atom in the foil was composed mostly of empty space because most alpha
katovenus [111]

Answer:

(1) passed through the foil

Explanation:

Ernest Rutherford conducted an experiment using an alpha particle emitter projected towards a gold foil and the gold foil was surrounded by a fluorescent screen which glows upon being struck by an alpha particle.

  • When the experiment was conducted he found that most of the alpha particles went away without any deflection (due to the empty space) glowing the fluorescent screen right at the point of from where they were emitted.
  • While a few were deflected at reflex angle because they were directed towards the center of the nucleus having the net effective charge as positive.
  • And some were acutely deflected due to the field effect of the positive charge of the proton inside the nucleus. All these  conclusions were made based upon the spot of glow on the fluorescent screen.
