which fire extinguisher is most appropriate to put out a fire that involves a stack of burning newspapers

2 answers:

6 0

Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers the fire, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which extinguishes the fire. Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for fires in “live” electrical equipment.

A dog runs with an initial velocity of 7.5 m/s on a waxed floor. It slides to a stop in 15 seconds. What is the acceleration?

Leni [432]

Answer:

-0.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / total time

7.5 / 15 = 0.5

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$\rm 9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Diameter of the plates of the capacitor, D = 21 cm = 0.21 m.
Distance of separation between the plates, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m.
Minimum value of electric field that produces spark, $\rm E=3\times 10^6\ N/C.$

When the dimensions of the plate of the capacitor is comparatively much larger than the distance of separation between the plates, then, according to the Gauss' law of electrostatics, the value of the electric field strength in the region between the plates of the capacitor is given by

$\rm E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}.$

where,

$\rm \sigma$ = surface charge density of the plate of the capacitor = $\dfrac qA$ .

$\rm q$ = magnitude of the charge on each of the plate.
$\rm A$ = surface area of each of the plate = $\rm \pi \times (Radius)^2=\pi \times\left ( \dfrac{D}{2}\right )^2= \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{0.21}{2}\right )^2=3.46\times 10^{-2}\ m^2.$
$\epsilon_o$ = electrical permittivity of free space, having value = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\rm \ C^2N^{-1}m^{-2}.$

For the minimum value of electric field that produces spark,

$\rm E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\Rightarrow q = E\ A\epsilon_o\\=3\times 10^6\times 3.46\times 10^{-2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\\=9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

It is the maximum value of the magnitude of charge which can be added up to each of the plates of the capacitor.

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th

Alenkinab [10]

Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase
