Speed is the distance traveled
                             time
but velocity is the change in distance

Speed and Velocity are similar with their only real differences being that Speed has to be positive, and Velocity is a vector, which means that it has to have direction and magnitude.

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery. After it becomes charged, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery a
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The potential difference between the plates increases

Explanation:

As we know that the capacitance of the capacitor is given by:

q = CV         (1)

where

q = charge

C = capacitance

V = Voltage or Potential Difference

Also, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{D}           (2)

where

\epsilon_{o} = permittivity of free space or vacuum

A = Area of the plates

D = Separation distance between the plates

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

V = \frac{qD}{A\epsilon_{o}}

Now, from the above eqn  we can say that:

Potential difference depends directly on the separation distance between the plates of the capacitor and is inversely dependent on the area of the plates of the capacitor.

Therefore, after disconnecting, if the separation between the plates is increased the potential difference across it also increases.

A hot–air balloon is moving at a speed of 10.0 meters/second in the +x–direction. The balloonist throws a brass ball in the +x–d
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

The balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

Velocity of air balloon along +X axis =10 m/s

velocity of ball=4 m/s along + X axis

the velocity of balloon gets added to the velocity of ball. So the resultant velocity of the balloon=10+4 = 14 m/s

time taken= 30 s

The distance traveled is given by d= v t

d= 14 (30)

d= 420 m

Thus the balloon lands horizontally at a distance of 420 m from a point where it as released.

This problem will require you to make some assumptions, so be sure that your assumptions are clear. You have dinner reservations
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The statement is implying that if you do a certain amount of work, you're entitled to do a certain amount of work. Sometimes, work doesn't entitle you a reward.

Coherent light with wavelength 540 nm passes through narrow slits with a separation of 0.370 mm .Part AAt a distance from the sl
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The phase difference between waves 31.7 rad

Explanation:

Given :

Wavelength \lambda = 540 \times 10^{-9} m

Separation between two slit d = 0.370 \times 10^{-3} m

Angle \theta = 25°

From the formula of phase difference,

  \delta = \frac{2\pi d }{\lambda}  \sin \theta

Where \delta = phase difference

\delta = \frac{2 \times \pi \times 0.370 \times 10^{-3} }{540 \times 10^{-9} } \sin 25

\delta = 31.7 rad

Therefore, the phase difference between waves 31.7 rad

What would the speed of this wave be?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

c) 100,000 m/s

Explanation:

You need to take the same wave length from the top graph and bottom one, so let's take half a wave length then in the top one that is 0.005, but in the bottom one it's 2000/4 = 500 because they are smaller and there are 4 half waves before you get to 2000, whereas in the top one there is 1 half wave before you get to 0.005 on the graph.

Now use speed = distance / time

speed = 500 / 0.005 = 100 000 m/s
