Answer:

The correct answer is A. Vibration.

Explanation:

Mechanical waves is formed by the oscillation of matter and therefore transfer energy from one medium to the other. Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves need some medium to propagate. It requires an initial energy input and thus carries this energy when it propagates. There are three types of mechanical waves namely transverse waves, longitudinal waves and surface waves. Examples of such waves are sound waves, water waves and seismic waves.

What is the acceleration if a 5 kg cart is pushed with 30 N of force?

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{30}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same dimensions, but the space between the plates is filled with air in capacitor 1 and w

Aleks [24]

Explanation:

The capacitance in two parallel-plate capacitors is:

$C=\frac{K\epsilon_oA}{d}$

For air, we have $K_1=1$

For plastic, we have $K_2=2.25$

Hence:

$C_1=\frac{K_1\epsilon_oA}{d_1}=\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_1}\\C_2=\frac{K_2\epsilon_oA}{d_2}=2.25(\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_2})$

a) Recall that the potential difference between the plates is the same ( $V_1=V_2=V$ ). The electric field is given by:

$E_1=\frac{V_1}{d_1}=\frac{V}{d_1}\\E_2=\frac{V_2}{d_2}=\frac{V}{d_1}$

The potential difference is defined as:

$V_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}=V\\V_2=\frac{Q_2}{C_2}=V$

Replacing:

$E_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1d_1}\\E_2=\frac{Q_1}{C_1d_2}\\\\E_1d_1=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}\\E_2d_2=\frac{Q_1}{C_1}\\E_1d_1=E_2d_2\\\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{d_2}{d_1}$

b) The energy is defined as:

$U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2$

So:

$U_1=\frac{1}{2}C_1V_1^2=\frac{1}{2}C_1V^2\\U_2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V_2^2=\frac{1}{2}C_2V^2\\U_1=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\epsilon_oA}{d_1}V^2\\U_2=\frac{1}{2}\frac{2.25\epsilon_oA}{d_2}V^2\\\frac{0.88U_2d_2}{\epsilon_oA}=V^2\\\frac{2U_1d_1}{\epsilon_oA}=V^2\\\frac{0.88U_2d_2}{\epsilon_oA}=\frac{2U_1d_1}{\epsilon_oA}\\\frac{U_1}{U_2}=0.44\frac{d_2}{d_1}$

Is there gravity in space? If so name one piece of evidence

Eddi Din [679]

There is gravity everywhere in space. In fact, it's how the moon orbits the Earth. Also, gravity in space assists the Earth to orbit the sun. These are caused by small areas of gravity. The term for this is called "microgravity".

I hope this helps!
