Answer:

Pure water won’t conduct electricity

Option A

Explanation:

Pure water doesn’t contain salts or impurities. It is the salts that dissociate to form ions that act as charge carriers in conducting solutions. For a medium to conduct electricity it should have carriers to carry the electrical charge.

Thus absence of charge carriers make pure water non conducting. Charge carriers in metals are electrons and in ionic solutions they are positive and negative ions.

Tap water, aquarium water and ocean water contains dissolved electrolytes. When electricity is passed through them the electrolytes dissociates into ions and these ions conduct electricity.

A 0.106-A current is charging a capacitor that has square plates 6.00 cm on each side. The plate separation is 4.00 mm. (a) Find

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Explanation:

Given :

Current $I = 0.106$ A

Area of plate $A = 36 \times 10^{-4}$ $m^{2}$

Plate separation $d = 4 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

First find the capacitance of capacitor,

$C = \frac{\epsilon _{o} A }{d}$

Where $\epsilon _{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$C = \frac{8.85 \times 10^{-12 } \times 36 \times 10^{-4} }{4 \times 10^{-3} }$

$C = 7.9 \times 10^{-12}$ F

But $C = \frac{Q}{V}$

Where $Q = It$

$C = \frac{It}{V}$

$V = \frac{It}{C}$

Now differentiate above equation wrt. time,

$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{I}{C}$

$= \frac{0.106}{7.9 \times 10^{-12} }$

$= 1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

Therefore, the time rate of change of flux is $1.34 \times 10^{10}$ $\frac{V}{s}$

When changing a tire sized 195/75 R15 to a 5 percent lower profile, the correct tire size would be _____

valentinak56 [21]

Answer and explanation:

When you are changing a car tire, the most important thing is to keep the total diameter as equal as possible.

The total car tire diameter can be calculated as:

$D_{tot orig}=\frac{195 \cdot 75}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''=26.5''$

The profile of this tire is 75 (the higher/taller relation), therefore a 5 percent lower profile would be:

pr=0.95·75=71.25

The problem is that the profiles are normalized and the nearest profile available is 70.

If we take a theorical tire with a profile of 71.25:

$D_{tot orig}=D_{new}\\\frac{195 \cdot 75}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''=\frac{X \cdot 71.25}{2540 \cdot 2}+15''\\X=205.26$

The theorical tire size should be 205/71 R15.

If we look for a real tire size, we should look for a tire with a diameter nearest to 26.5'' and a profile of 70.

The best option for real tire size is: Tire 225/70 R14 (wheel diameter of 26.4'') or 205/70 R15 (wheel diameter of 26.3'').

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

With the exception of natural gas fossil fuel energies have seen an overall decrease since year 2000.

Explanation:

Just observe the graph

The Fossil fuels include-Petroleum ,coal and natural gases.

The graph of these goes fastly up during 20th century but ,then it stabled at the peak then has not shown any solid increase .
Observe other energy sources graph ,nuclear energy etc have shown quite speedy increase .

Option C is correct

Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude.

ella [17]

Answer:

Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. ... As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level. This is what meteorologists and mountaineers mean by "thin air." Thin air exerts less pressure than air at a lower altitude.
