There is a electric train traveling north, and the wind is blowing south. Which way is the steam going.

1 answer:

3 0

The steam would blow south. The train going north would already make the stem go south, and the wind would also blow the steam southward.

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha

Setler [38]

When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surf

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

b) the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) The index of refraction of the oil is 1.20. What is the minimum thickness of the oil slick at that spot?

t $_{min$ = λ/2n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.20

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2(1.20)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 2.4

t $_{min$ = 312.5 ≈ 313 nm

Therefore, The minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot is 313 nm

Suppose the oil had an index of refraction of 1.50. What would the minimum thickness be now?

minimum thickness of the oil slick at the spot will be;

t $_{min$ = λ/4n

given that; wavelength λ = 750 nm and index of refraction of the oil n = 1.50

we substitute

t $_{min$ = 750 / 4(1.50)

t $_{min$ = 750 / 6

t $_{min$ = 125 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness be now will be 125 nm

) each plate of a parallel-plate air-filled capacitor has an area of 0.0020 , and the separation of the plates is an electric fi

Dvinal [7]

I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}$
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
$V=Ed$
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}$
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.

What is the kinetic energy in joules of a 0.05. kg bullet traveling 310 m/s

Wittaler [7]

The formula is=1/2(m x v^2)

so = 1/2*(0.05)*(310)^2

ans is =2402.5 joules
