You are on a train traveling east at speed of 18 m/s with respect to the ground. 1) If you walk east toward the front of the tra

Answer:

19.2 m/s

Explanation:

The train is moving at 18 m/s and you are walking in the same direction (east) so the speeds are added

18 + 1.2 = 19.2

If you were walking backwards (west) your velocity with respect to the ground would be

18 - 1.2 = 16.8

A power source of 6.0 V is attached to the ends of a capacitor. The charge is 12 C.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
The electric field at any point in the region between the conductors is proportional to the magnitude Q of charge on each conductor. It follows that:

"The potential difference Vab between the conductors is also proportional to Q"

If we double the magnitude of charge on each conductor, the charge density at each point doubles, the electric field at each point doubles, and the potential difference between conductors doubles; however, the ratio of charge to potential difference does not change. This ratio is called the capacitance C of the capacitor:

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

Given that:

V_{ab}=6V and Q=12\mu C 

Lastly, the capacitance is given by:

C= \frac{12\mu C}{6V}=2\mu F

A star is known to be moving at 8.46km/s toward the earth. If you observe the spectral line to be at 5.02nm, at what wavelength
anastassius [24]

Answer:

\lambda_x=5.019858nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Speed of star S=8.46km/s

Distance of spectral line \lambda_0= 5.02nm

Generally the equation for wavelength with respect to spectral lines is mathematically given by

\lambda=\lambda _0 *\frac{v}{c}

where

\lambda_0= length\ of\ spectral\ line

c=The\ speed\ of\ light

v= speed\ of\ moving\ object

therefore

\lambda=5.02*10^{-9} *\frac{8.46*10^{12}}{299 792 458*10^9}

\lambda=1.42*10^{-4} nm

Generally the equation for new wavelength is mathematically given as

\lambda_x=\lambda _0-\lambda

\lambda_x=5.02 nm-1.42*10^{-4} nm

\lambda_x=5.02-1.42*10^{-4}

Therefore

\lambda_x=5.019858nm

Viefleur [7K]

Explanation:

Question 9 A machine is applying a torque to rotationally accelerate a metal disk during a manufacturing process. An engineer is using a graph of torque as a function of time to determine how much the disk's angular speed increases during the process The graph of torque as a function of time starts at an initial torque value and is a straight line with positive slope. What aspect of the graph and possibly other quantities must be used to calculate how much the disk's angular speed increases during the process? The slope of the graph multiplied by the disk's radius will equal the change in angular speed The area under the graph multiplied by the disk's radius will equal the change in angular speed. The slope of the graph divided by the disk's rotational inertia will equal the change in angular speed. The area under the graph divided by the disk's rotational inertia will equal the change in angular speed. The area under the graph multiplied by the disk's rotational inertia will equal the change in angular speed E

Describe alternating current and direct current. Include two ways that they are alike and one way that they are different.
ikadub [295]
Here is your answer:

1. A alternating current is a current "is an electric current which periodically reverses direction." A direct current is a "<span>current which flows only in one direction."

2. They are alike because both are "they both are able to travel in different directions." How they are not alike is that a "alternating current travels in a reverse direction but a direct current can only travel in one direction each current."

Hope this helps!</span>

When hydrogen shares electrons with oxygen, the outermost shell of the hydrogen atoms are full with :
Alja [10]

Hydrogen is written as H2 and oxygen is written as O2

When they bond it is a covalent bond.

Hydrogen has 1 negative electron , which would attract one from oxygen, so its outer shell would have 2 electrons.

Oxygen outer shell holds 8 electrons.

The answer is

2 and 8
