Answer:

Moment of inertia and angular velocity.

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of an object is possessed when the object is showing rotational motion. It can be given by the formula as :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

Here,

I is the moment of inertia of the object

$\omega$ is the angular velocity of the object

So, the translational kinetic energy of an object is given by moment of inertia and angular velocity of the object. Hence, this is the required solution.

A submarine is 2.99 ✕ 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 ✕ 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

a The diagram of the situation is shown on the first uploaded image

b the angle of incidence beam striking the water is $\theta = 49.63^o$

c the angle of refraction beam striking the water is $r = 59.7^o$

d The angle the refracted beam make with respect to the horizontal is $= 30.3^o$

e The height of the target above sea level is

$h= 125.05m$

Explanation:

From the diagram we see that the angle of the beam striking the water is

$tan \theta = \frac{100}{85}$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{100}{85} )$

$= 49.63^o$

According to Snell's law

$\mu_{water} *sin(i) = \mu_{air} *sin(r)$

Where $\mu_{water }$ is the refractive index of water = 1.333

$i$ is the angle of incidence

$\mu_{air}$ is the refractive index of air = 1

r is the angle of refraction

Substituting values accordingly

$1.33 * sin (40.37) = 1 * sin(r)$

Making r the subject of the formula

$r = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.333 *sin(40.37)}{1})$

$= 59.7^o$

looking at the diagram we can see that to obtain the angle the refraction beam makes with the horizontal by subtracting the angle refraction from 90°

i.e $90 -59.7 = 30.3$ °

From the diagram we see that the height target above sea level can be obtained by this relation

$tan \theta = \frac{h}{214}\\$

Where h is the is the height

$tan(30.3) = \frac{h}{214}$

$h = 214 * tan (30.3)$

$=125.05m$

The electric field between square the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor has magnitude E. The potential across the plates is m

Helga [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is half its initial value.

Explanation:

We know the electric field E = V/d where V = voltage applied and d = separation between plates.

Since V is constant and V = Ed,

So, E₁d₁ = E₂d₂ where E₁ = initial electric field at separation d₁, d₁ = initial separation of plates, E₂ = final electric field at separation d₂ and d₂ = final separation of plates.

So, E₂ = E₁d₁/d₂

Now, the distance between the plates is twice their original separation. Thus, d₂ = 2d₁

So, E₂ = E₁d₁/2d₁ = E₁/2

So, E₂ = E₁/2

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates is half its initial value.

Jess rides her motorcycle at an average speed of 20 m/s for 500 seconds. how far did she ride

Sedaia [141]

Distance = (speed) x (time)

Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)

Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)

Distance = 10,000 m
