Answer:

Check explanation.

Explanation:

Net force is essentially the sum of the forces enacting upon an object. One example of net force is gravity and normal force. It is commonly accepted that every object has a force acting upon it, even if it is stationary. To give an example, the weight of an object has a force upon the earth but the earth pushes back, essentially meaning that the object will not sink.

1) A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an electrical insulator with no electrically conductive path through

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source (displacement current)

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell, current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.

Assume the earth to be a nonrotating sphere with mass MEME and radius RERE. If an astronaut weights WW on the ground, what is hi

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The weight at a distance 2 RE from surface of earth is W/9

Explanation:

For the value of acceleration due to gravity (g), we have a formula, that is:

g = (G)(ME)/(RE)² ----- equation (1)

where,

G = Gravitational Constant

ME = Mass of Earth

RE = Radius of Earth

g = Acceleration due to gravity on surface of earth = 9.8 ms²

When the person goes 2RE, distance above earth's surface. Then the total distance from center of earth becomes: 2RE + RE = 3RE.

Therefore, equation (1) becomes:

gh = (G)(ME)/(3RE)²

where,

gh = acceleration due to gravity at height

gh = (G)(ME)/(RE)²9

using equation (1), we get:

gh = g/9

Now, he weight is given by formula:

W = mg ------- equation (2)

At height 2RE

Wh = (m)(gh)

where,

Wh = Weight at height = ?

m = mass of astronaut

Therefore, using vale of gh, we get:

Wh = mg/9

Using equation (2), we get:

Wh = W/9

Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

$F_{f} = -\mu N$

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of $N$ will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.
