Answer:24 m

Explanation:

Given

Distance of Fran from home is 7 miles

Distance between Ben and Fran is 1 mile more than the distance of ben from home

let distance of ben from home is x miles

therefore distance between ben and Fran is x+1 miles

using Pythagoras

7^2+x^2=(x+1)^2

49+x^2=x^2+1+2x

48=2 x

x=24

How are electromagnetic waves able to travel without a medium?
vazorg [7]
Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. this means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only trough air and solid materials, but also trough the vacuum of space.

An ideal parallel-plate capacitor consists of a set of two parallel plates of area Separated by a very small distance 푑. This ca
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

doubled the initial value

Explanation:

Let the area of plates be A and the separation between them is d.

Let V be the potential difference of the battery.

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U = Q^2/2C   ...(1)

Now the battery is disconnected, it means the charge is constant.

the separation between the plates is doubled.

The capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is inversely proportional to the distance between the plates.

C' = C/2

the new energy stored

U' = Q^2 /  2C'

U' = Q^2/C = 2 U

The energy stored in the capacitor is doubled the initial amount.

What factors affect the amount of potential and kinetic energy a roller coaster has
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

As the roller coaster goes higher, more potential energy is increased in the roller coaster. Caused by gravity and the roller coaster's position, the potential energy is stored in the roller coaster. For example, this ball is at the top of a hill, where potential energy is at it's highest. Potential energy can be calculated by Potential Energy=Mass X Acceleration X Height.

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.75 m/s. If the roof is pitched at
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.528 s

b) D = 1.62 m

Explanation:

given,

speed of the baseball = 3.75 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 35°

height of the roof edge = 2.5 m

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2.5 = vsin\theta \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2.5 = 3.75\ sin35^0 \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2

4.9 t² + 2.15 t - 2.5 = 0

on solving the above equation

t = 0.528 s

b) D = v cos θ × t

D = 3.75 × cos 35° ×0.528

D = 1.62 m
