If an object is not accelerating, then one knows for sure that it is____

The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.

As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.

When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:

F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material

Llana [10]

Answer:

a) $C = 40.138\,pF$ , b) $q = 16.056\,nC$ , c) $U = 3.212\,\mu J$

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of two parallel plates capacitor with dielectric is given by the following expression:

$C = K\cdot \epsilon_{o}\cdot \frac{A}{d}$

Where:

$K$ - Dielectric constant.

$\epsilon_{o}$ - Vaccum permitivity.

$A$ - Plate area.

$d$ - Distance between plates.

Hence, the capacitance of the system is:

$C = (4.00)\cdot (8.854\times 10^{-12}\,\frac{F}{m} )\cdot \left(\frac{17\times 10^{-4}\,m^{2}}{0.150\times 10^{-2}\,m}\right)$

$C = 4.014\cdot 10^{-11}\,F$

$C = 40.138\,pF$

b) The charge can be found by using the definition of capacitance:

$q = C\cdot V_{batt}$

$q = (4.014\times 10^{-11}\,F)\cdot (400\,V)$

$q = 1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C$

$q = 16.056\,nC$

c) The energy stored in the charged capacitor is:

$U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot Q\cdot V_{batt}$

$U=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (1.606\times 10^{-8}\,C)\cdot (400\,V)$

$U = 3.212\times 10^{-6}\,J$

$U = 3.212\,\mu J$

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. You then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the

Before solving this question, first we have to understand the special theory of relative.

As per classical mechanics, the velocity of light will be different in different frame of reference. The light moves in the ether medium which exists every where in the entire universe.

Let us consider a body which moves with a velocity v. Let light is coming along the direction of the body. As per classical mechanics,the velocity of light with respect to the body will be [ c-v].

Let us consider that light is coming from opposite direction. Hence, the velocity of light with respect to the observer will be c+v.

From above we see that velocity of light is different in both the cases which is wrong.

As per Einstein's special theory of relativity, the velocity of light will be same in every frame of reference i.e c=300000 km/s.

As per the question ,the space craft is moving with a velocity 0.1 c.

We are asked to calculate the velocity of the light with respect to an observer present in Mars.

Considering Einstein's theory of relativity, the velocity of light will be c [300000 km/s] with respect to the person in Mars.
