Answer:

The plate's surface charge density is -8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 9800 km/s

Distance d= 75 cm

Distance d' =15 cm

Suppose we determine the plate's surface charge density?

We need to calculate the surface charge density

Using work energy theorem

W=\Delta K.E

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{f}^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2

Here, final velocity is zero

W=0-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2...(I)

We know that,

W=-Fd

W=-E\times e\times d

W=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

-\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{i}^2=-\dfrac{\lambda}{2\epsilon_{0}}\times e\times d

Charge is negative for electron

\lambda=\dfrac{mv^2\epsilon_{0}}{(-e)d}

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=-\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}\times(9800\times10^{3})^2\times8.85\times10^{-12}}{1.6\times10^{-19}\times(75-15)\times10^{-2}}

\lambda=-8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Hence, The plate's surface charge density is -8.056\times10^{-9}\ C/m^2

What is the process called in which water vapor and carbon dioxide retain heat?
saw5 [17]

The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.

 

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere. Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>

kodGreya [7K]

The answer is C. If the box is accelerating, that means that the amount of force you are exerting is greater than the force of the box.

Stella [2.4K]

No. You cannot rule out the battery even after the open circuit voltage measurement. The open-circuit voltage may not have changed but the battery's internal resistance may have greatly increased.

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .
