A jet taxiing down the runway receives word that it must return to the gate. The jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receiv
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

7 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that the jet is traveling 37.6 m/s when the pilot receives the message. 

And it takes the pilot 5.37 s to bring the plane to a halt.

Acceleration of the plane can be calculated by using first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the plane is going to stop, the final velocity V = zero.

And the acceleration will be negative

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

0 = 37.6 - 5.37a

5.37a = 37.6

Make a the subject of formula

a = 37.6 / 5.37

a = 7.0 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the plane to bring the plane to a halt is 7 m/s^2

Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 nâ‹…m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0 kgâ‹…m2. A
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

W = 1884J

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. The original question was:

<em>Consider a motor that exerts a constant torque of 25.0 N.m to a horizontal platform whose moment of inertia is 50.0kg.m^2 . Assume that the platform is initially at rest and the torque is applied for 12.0rotations . Neglect friction. </em>

<em> How much work W does the motor do on the platform during this process?  Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.</em>

The amount of work done by the motor is given by:

W=\Delta K

W= 1/2*I*\omega f^2-1/2*I*\omega o^2

Where I = 50kg.m^2 and ωo = rad/s. We need to calculate ωf.

By using kinematics:

\omega f^2=\omega o^2+2*\alpha*\theta

But we don't have the acceleration yet. So, we have to calculate it by making a sum of torque:

\tau=I*\alpha

\alpha=\tau/I     =>     \alpha = 0.5rad/s^2

Now we can calculate the final velocity:

\omega f = 8.68rad/s

Finally, we calculate the total work:

W= 1/2*I*\omega f^2 = 1883.56J

Since the question asked to "<em>Enter your answer in joules to four significant figures.</em>":

W = 1884J

A dielectric material such as paper is inserted between the plates of a capacitor as the capacitor holds a fixed charge on its p
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Introducing a dielectric into a capacitor decreases the electric field, which decreases the voltage, which increases the capacitance.

Explanation:

A dielectric (or dielectric material) is an electrical insulator that can be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric material is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material as they do in an electrical conductor but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization

Types of dielectric material

Ceramic, Mica paper glass
