In a displacement versus time graph, the slope of the line at any point on the graph indicates the <em>magnitude of velocity</em>.

(It can't indicate velocity completely, because the graph shows nothing about the direction of the motion.)

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled

Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

$C=kC_0$

where

k is the dielectric constant

$C_0$ is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

$C_0=1.2 nF$ is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

$C=3.0 nF$ is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

$k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5$

An American Red Cross plane needs to drop emergency supplies to victims of a hurricane in a remote part of the world. The plane

Andreas93 [3]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that air resistance is ignored.

Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²

The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²

Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s

The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m

Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)
