Defiance Drake, Space Adventurer, desperately needs to reach a cargo vessel 100m away, or run out of air and die in deep space.

For our purposes, there are two relevant directions, the direction Defiance is traveling in (the x-direction, at 1 m/s), and direction of the cargo ship's motion, which is perpendicular to her motion (y-direction, 10 m/s). Defiance uses her jet boots, choosing to accelerate directly in the x-direction at 0.25g (she starts at (x=100,y=0)). If the cargo vessel is 25 m long, and its nose cone starts at x=0,y=0, will Defiance reach the ship or miss? If she misses, how should she have chosen her path (assume she cannot exceed 1 g)?

She misses. She should have accelerated faster in order to get to her target.

What is the largest meteoroid that has collided with this planet
Burka [1]

Chicxulub. It's the most famous cataclysm ever, the meteorite that probably snuffed out the dinosaurs (along with three-quarters of all life on Earth) when it smashed into our planet 65 million years ago. The crater it left behind is actually one of the youngest and most accessible in the solar system.

Which of the following actions would decrease the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor when a constant potential differen
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

increasing the separation between the plates

Explanation:

The increase in the vacuum/separation between the plates in a parallel plate capacitor connected to a constant potential difference decreases the energy stored in the capacitor. the increase in the separation of the plates of a parallel plate capacitor reduces the capacitance of the capacitor because

Q(charge) = CV  V = VOLTAGE , c = capacitance  

E = 1/2 eAV^2/ D  ( ENERGY STORED )

where D = distance between plates, e = dielectric, A = area of capacitor , V = potential difference

Which one is having lesser ressistance. a 60w bulb or a 40w bulb?
Ivan
Power dissipation = (voltage across the component)² / (resistance of the component)

Since the resistance is in the denominator of the fraction in this formula for the
quantity of power dissipated, you can see that when the supply voltage is constant,
the smaller resistance dissipates more power.

So the <u>60w bulb</u> has lower resistance than the 40w bulb.
