Pushing a broke down car, even done by more than one person, is difficult especially if the distance to be covered is quite far. A car is heavy and it requires a lot of force to start the car moving. This is because the inertia of the car to remain at rest is great. Additionally, the force applied in pushing the car must be greater than the frictional force to cause it to accelerate. The frictional force is dependent on the mass of the object which means that the frictional force acting on the car is also great. Finally, with every push of the car, the frictional force will always be present and acting on the opposite direction. The push that will be supplied must be sustained all throughout.

The friends have to combine their forces to be greater than the force of the car pushing back on them (3rd law). The car will remain at rest until an outside force acts on it that it is greater than its own (1st). The speed in which the car is being moved is directly related to the amount of force and direction of the kids pushing the car (2nd).

Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = 0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = 7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m

Area of the square plates is given as:

A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C

A 6.9 kg object is suspended by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Determine t
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Tension, T = 87.63  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 6.9 kg

The string is acting in the upward direction, a = 2.9 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

As the lift is accelerating upwards, it means the net force acting on it is given by :

T = m(a+g)

= 6.9 (2.9+9.8)

= 6.9(2.7)

= 87.63  N

So, the tension in the string is 87.63  N.
