Answer:

E ) The horizontal component of a projectile acceleration is zero.

Explanation:

In case of a projectile , force of gravity acts in vertically downward direction so acceleration will act in vertically downward direction . Its direction never changes during course of its journey. So horizontal component of acceleration will always be zero at all points of its journey.

# A cheetah can start from rest and attain the velocity 72km/h in 2 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of cheetah
yan [13]

Answer:

<h2>10 \: m/s ^2</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

Solution,

When a certain object comes in motion from rest, in the case, initial velocity = 0 m/s

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 72 km/h ( Given)

We have to convert 72 km /h in m/s

72 \: km \: per \: hour

= 72 \times  \frac{1000}{60  \times 60}

= 20 m/s

Final velocity ( v ) = 20 m/s

Time taken ( t ) = 2 seconds

Acceleration (a) = ?

Now,

we have,

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

a =  \frac{20 - 0}{2}

a =  \frac{20}{2}

a = 10 m/s ^2

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = \pi r^2

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

\epsilon_0 = Electric constant = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}

Charge is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}

Number of electron is given by

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.

Show your working please ​
saw5 [17]

Explanation:

There's not enough information in the problem to solve it.  We need to know either the initial speed of the lorry, or the time it takes to stop.

For example, if we assume the initial speed of the lorry is 25 m/s, then we can find the rate of deceleration:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(0 m/s)² = (25 m/s)² + 2a (50 m)

a = -6.25 m/s²

We can then use Newton's second law to find the force:

F = ma

F = (7520 kg) (-6.25 m/s²)

F = -47000 N
