Answer:

The acceleration of the car at the instant when t=3s is found by taking the gradient of the tangent at the point t=3.

The tangent are those dotted lines sloping upwards in the graph.

Tangent: A straight line that touches the curve and does not intersect it.

The reason why they wrote instantaneous is because the acceleration (or gradient of graph) is not constant throughout hence it is just at the moment when t=3s.

Gradient is used to find the acceleration of a speed time graph.

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

$5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C$

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

$C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

$A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2$ is the area of the plates

$d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m$ is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

$C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F$

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

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

Since we know the energy

$U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J$

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

$Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C$

Answer: Surface waves can have characteristics of both longitudinal and transverse waves in the following way; The motion of the surface waves is up and down which is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This is similar to the motion of transverse waves whereas the the motion of longitudinal.
