Answer:True

Explanation:

The above statement is true as an anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a vehicle protection system that helps the wheels on a vehicle to keep up tractive force with the road. ABS does not allow the brake to lock during braking and thus avoiding skidding which is necessary to avoid in wet roads otherwise it could be fatal for drivers.

It is widely used in vehicles to improve the safety measures and reduce road accidents.

The plates of a spherical capacitor have radii 6.25 cm and 15.0 crn. The space between the two spheres is filled with a material

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Capacitance is 0.572×10⁻¹⁰ Farad

Explanation:

Radius = R₁ = 6.25 cm = 6.25×10⁻² m

Radius = R₂ = 15 cm = 15×10⁻² m

Dielectric constant = k = 4.8

Electric constant = ε₀ = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

ε/ε₀=k

ε=kε₀

$Capacitance\ (C)=\frac{4\pi k\epsilon_0 R_1\times R_2}{R_2-R_1}\\\Rightarrow C=\frac{4\pi 4.8\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 15\times 10^{-2}\times 6.25\times 10^{-2}}{15\times 10^{-2}-6.25\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow C=0.572\times 10^{-10}\ Farad$

∴ Capacitance is 0.572×10⁻¹⁰ Farad

A 500-N weight sits on the small piston of a hydraulic machine. The small piston has area 2.0 cm2. If the large piston has area

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

W₂= 10000 N

Explanation:

Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:

If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area (A2) of the piston:

Pressure is defined as the force (F) applied per unit area (A)

P=F/A (N/m²)

P1=P2

$\frac{F_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{F_{2} }{A_{2} }$

$F_{2} = \frac{F_{1}*A_{2} }{A_{1}}$ Equation (1)

Data

W₁ = weight sits on the small piston

F₁ = W₁= 500 N

A₁ = 2.0 cm²

A₂ = 40 cm²

Calculation of the weight (W₂) can the large piston support

We replace data in the equation (1)

$F_{2} = \frac{(500)*(40) }{2}$

F₂ = 10000 N

W₂= F₂= 10000 N

What is the available energy content, in joules, of a battery that operates a 2.00-W electric clock for 18 months

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

93312000 Joules

Explanation:

Energy can be explained as the capacity for doing work. And can be expressed as

E= pt....................eqn(1)

Where

E= Energy in Joules

P= power in Watt= 2.00W

t= time in seconds

Time= 18 months, which can be converted to "seconds" as;

18 months = [ 18 monthsx 30 days x 24 hours x 60 min x 60 sec] = 46656000

Then

time= 46656000 seconds

Power=2 watt

If we substitute into equation (1) we have

Energy = 2 watt × 46656000 seconds

Energy= 93312000 Joules
