Suggest why it might be a good idea to reduce the pressure of the air in car tyres if the car is to be driven over soft sand or

over snow.

A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an insulating layer. A new capacitor has no charge on either of its surf

mihalych1998 [28]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>(A) the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor increases.</h3>

When charging a capacitor transferring charge from one surface to the other, the first surface becomes negatively charged while the second surface becomes positively charged. As you transfer the charge, the voltage of the positively charged surface increases and the energy stored in the capacitor also increases. We can solve this by the definition of <em>capacitance</em><em> </em>that is <em>a measure of the ability of a capacitor to store energy. </em>For any capacitor, the capacitance is a constant defined as:

$C=\frac{Q}{V_{ab}}$

To maintain $C$ constant, if Q increases V also increases.

On the other hand, the potential energy $U$ can be expressed as:

$U=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}$

In conclusion, as Q increases the potential energy also increases.

A football is kicked from ground level at an angle of 53 degrees. It reaches a maximum height of 7.8 meters before returning to

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1.61 second

Explanation:

Angle of projection, θ = 53°

maximum height, H = 7.8 m

Let T be the time taken by the ball to travel into air. It is called time of flight.

Let u be the velocity of projection.

The formula for maximum height is given by

$H = \frac{u^{2}Sin^{2}\theta }{2g}$

By substituting the values, we get

$7.8= \frac{u^{2}Sin^{2}53 }{2\times 9.8}$

u = 9.88 m/s

Use the formula for time of flight

$T = \frac{2uSin\theta }{g}$

$T = \frac{2\times 9.88\times Sin53 }{9.8}$

T = 1.61 second

Write a scientific explanation to describe where earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur and their relation to plate bound

vovangra [49]

Earthquakes and volcanoes most commonly occur around plate boundaries because of the movement from the plate boundaries. The interactions between the plates by moving under, upon, or sliding against other boundaries may cause earthquakes and volcanoes.

3) An electron moves in a circular orbit of radius 0.11 mm, counterclockwise as you look down at it, moving in a plane above and

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

B = 0.15 T

Explanation:

To find the magnitude of the magnetic field you use the following formula:

$B=\frac{mv}{qr}$ ( 1 )

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10^-31 kg

v: velocity of the electron = 3*10^6 m/s

q: charge = 1.6*10^-19

r: radius = 0.11mm = 0.11*10^-3 m

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1).

$B=\frac{(9.1*10^{-31}kg)(3*10^6\frac{m}{s})}{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(0.11*10^{-3}m)}=0.15T$

the magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.15 T
