Answer:

Explanation:

Electric energy per unit volume

= (1 / 2) x ε₀ E²

Total energy

= energy per unit volume x volume

=  (1 / 2) x ε₀ E² x A d  , A is plate area

= (1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (σ/ε₀)² x A² d) [ E is electric field ]

(1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (σA/ε₀)² X d)

(1 / 2A) x (ε₀ (Q/ε₀)² X d

= (1 / 2A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d

So total energy is proportional to d , distance between plates

if  d is changed to d/2

total energy also becomes half.

(1 / 2A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d / 2

(1 / 4A) x (Q²/ε₀) x d

=

The gravitational force of attraction between two students sitting at their desks in physics class is 2.59 × 10−8 N. If one stud

<h2>The distance between students is 2.46 m</h2>

Explanation:

The force of attraction due to Newton's gravitation law is

F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

Here G is the gravitational constant

m₁ is the mass of one student

m₂ is the mass of second student .

and r is the distance between them

Thus r = \sqrt{\frac{Gm_1m_2}{F} }

If we substitute the values in the above equation

r = \sqrt{\frac{6.673x10^-^1^1x31.9x30.0}{2.59x10^-^8} }

= 2.46 m

With certain exceptions, Class E airspace extends upward from either 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL to, but does not include,A) 14,5
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

B) 18,000 feet MSL

Explanation:

There are three-dimensional parts in the navigation airspace in the world. The class E airspace is mostly used in the regions with coastal areas that are relatively populated. If we consider certain forms of exceptions, the class E airspace can move in the upward direction to few feet (i.e. 1200 ft). However, this doesn't include 18,000 feet MSL.

If the IMA of a machine is 2 and the effort force is 50 newtons, then the force applied to the resistance is _____. 48 N 50 N 25
zysi [14]

IMA stands for ideal mechanical advantage, which is the theoretical force amplification factor on an ideal mechanical device free of friction, deformations, etc.


If the applied force (effort) is 50N, then the force applied to the resistance is multiplied by the IMA=2 to get 100N.

2. What process does water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain?
weqwewe [10]

The process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.

<h3>What is water runoffs?</h3>

Water runoff occurs when there is more water than land can absorb.

The water flows across the surface of the land and into nearby creeks, streams, or lakes.

Runoff can come from both natural processes and human activity.

When rain falls to the earth from clouds and runs downhill into rivers and lakes.

During evaporation, the water turns from liquid into gas, and moves from oceans and lakes into the atmosphere where it forms clouds.

<h3>What is precipitation?</h3>

Precipitation is any liquid (rain) or frozen water that forms in the atmosphere and falls back to the Earth, for example it could fall on land or into lakes and rivers.

Thus,  the process that water redeposit into a lake in the form of rain is precipitation.

antsy andy tries to push his 6kg desk away from him and finds that it takes him 12 N of force to start the desk from rest and 8
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

static coefficient = 0,203 & kinetic coefficient = 0,14

Explanation:

There are two (2) conditions, when the desk is about to move and when the desk is moving. In the attachements you can see the two free body diagram for each condition.

In the first condition, there is no movement and the force is 12 N, in the image we can see the total forces are equal to 0 and by the definition of the friction force we can get the static friction coefficient.

In the second condition there is movement in the direction of the force which is equal to 8 N, again by the definition of the friction force we can get the kinetic friction coefficient. Since the desk is moving with constant velocity there is not acceleration.
