Answer:

<em> The space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds</em>

Explanation:

S = d/t..................... Equation 1

making t the subject of formula in the equation above,

t = d/S.................... Equation 2

Where S = speed, d = distance, t = time.

<em>Conversion: (i)if 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s,</em>

<em>                 then, 30 mph = 30×0.44704    </em>

<em>                = 13.41 m/s</em>

<em>               (ii) If 1 foot = 0.3048 m</em>

<em>            then, 100 foot = 30.48 m.</em>

<em>Given: S = 30 mph = 13.41 m/s, d = 100 foot = 30.48 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>t = 30.48/13.41</em>

<em>t = 2.27 seconds.</em>

<em>Therefore the space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds</em>

A parallel-plate capacitor has a voltage of 391 v applied across its plates, then the voltage source is removed. what is the vol
andrezito [222]

When the capacitor is connected to the voltage, a charge Q is stored on its plates. Calling C_0 the capacitance of the capacitor in air, the charge Q, the capacitance C_0 and the voltage (V_0=391 V) are related by

C_0 =\frac{Q}{V_0} (1)


when the source is disconnected the charge Q remains on the capacitor.


When the space between the plates is filled with mica, the capacitance of the capacitor increases by a factor 5.4 (the permittivity of the mica compared to that of the air):

C=k C_0 = 5.4 C_0

this is the new capacitance. Since the charge Q on the plates remains the same, by using eq. (1) we can find the new voltage across the capacitor:

V=\frac{Q}{C}=\frac{Q}{5.4 C_0}

And since Q=C_0 V_0, substituting into the previous equation, we find:

V=\frac{C_0 V_0}{5.4 C_0}=\frac{V_0}{5.4}=\frac{391 V}{5.4}=72.4 V

A 2.0 m conductor is formed into a square and placed in the horizontal xy-plane. A magnetic field is oriented 30.0° above the ho
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

\phi_B = 0.216 T m^2

Explanation:

As we know that the length of the conductor is given as

L = 2 m

now if it is converted into a square then we have

L = 4a

a = \frac{L}{4} = 0.5 m

now the are of the loop will be

A = a^2 = 0.5(0.5) = 0.25 m^2

now the magnetic flux is defined as

\phi_B = BAcos\theta

here we know

B = 1.0 T

\theta = 30.0^o

\phi_B = (1.0 T)(0.25 m^2)(cos30)

\phi_B = 0.216 T m^2
