Beasy is driving in his car to take care of some errands. The first errand has him

Physics

lutik1710 [3]3 years ago

At this point in the story, Beasy has driven his car (2+6+4) = 12 km.

He is parked at the thrift store, (2+4) = 6 km East and 6 km North of his starting point.

As the crow flies, the thrift store is √(6km² + 6km²) in a straight line from the starting point.

That's √(72 km²) , which works out to 8.485 km .  When rounded to the nearest whole km, he can phone up his wife and tell her he's "eight kilometers from home can you hear me now ?".

Displacement is a vector, so to answer the question completely, we also need to state its direction.

The angle from home to the thrift store, relative to East, is arctan(6km/6km).

That's 45 degrees.  

The full displacement vector is <em>8.485 km Northeast.</em>

Learning Goal:
enot [183]

Answer:

A. U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is its ability to store charges. For parallel-plate capacitors, this ability depends the material between the plates, the common plate area and the plate separation. The relationship is

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}

C is the capacitance, A is the common plate area, d is the plate separation and \epsilon is the permittivity of the material between the plates.

For air or free space, \epsilon is \epsilon_0 called the permittivity of free space. In general, \epsilon=\epsilon_r \epsilon_0 where \epsilon_r is the relative permittivity or dielectric constant of the material between the plates. It is a factor that determines the strength of the material compared to air. In fact, for air or vacuum, \epsilon_r=1.

The energy stored in a capacitor is the average of the product of its charge and voltage.

U = \dfrac{QV}{2}

Its charge, Q, is related to its capacitance by Q=CV (this is the electrical definition of capacitance, a ratio of the charge to its voltage; the previous formula is the geometric definition). Substituting this in the formula for U,

U = \dfrac{CV^2}{2}

A. Substituting for C in U,

U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. When the distance is 3d,

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2\times3d}

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. When the distance is restored but with a dielectric material of dielectric constant, K, inserted, we have

U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a thi
Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!

The left end of a long glass rod 8.00 cm in diameter, with an index of refraction 1.60, is ground to a concave hemispherical sur
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a) q = -9.23 cm, b)  h’= 0.577 mm , c) image is right and virtual

Explanation:

This is an optical exercise, where the constructor equation should be used

        1 / f = 1 / p + 1 / q

Where f is the focal length, p the distance to the object and q the distance to the image

A) The cocal distance is framed with the relationship

       1 / f = (n₂-1) (1 /R₁ -1 /R₂)

In this case we have a rod whereby the first surface is flat R1 =∞ and the second surface R2 = -4 cm, the sign is for being concave

       1 / f = (1.60 -1) (1 /∞ - 1 / (-4))

       1 / f = 0.6 / 4 = 0.15

        f = 6.67 cm

We have the distance to the object p = 24.0 cm, let's calculate

       1 / q = 1 / f - 1 / p

       1 / q = 1 / 6.67 - 1/24

       1 / q = 0.15 - 0.04167 = 0.10833

       q = -9.23 cm

distance to the negative image is before the lens

B) the magnification of the lenses is given by

       M = h ’/ h = - q / p

        h’= - q / p h

        h’= - (-9.23) / 24.0 0.150

        h’= 0.05759 cm

        h’= 0.577 mm

C) the object is after the focal length, therefore, the image is right and virtual
