Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

           Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m

            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Required: Smallest possible period T = ?

Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r

               but V = 2πr/T

equate T from all equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    

GMe = 4π²r³/T²

T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 25,563,909.77 s²

T = 5,056.08 seconds    or around   1.4 Hour

water is pumped from a stream at the rate of 90kg every 30s and sprayed into a farm at a velocity of 15m/s. Calculate the power
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

340 W

Explanation:

Power = change in energy / change in time

P = ΔKE / Δt

P = ½ mv² / Δt

P = ½ (90 kg) (15 m/s)² / (30 s)

P = 337.5 W

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the power is 340 W.

A 5.6 cm diameter parallel-plate capacitor has a 0.58 mm gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

1.88\cdot 10^{-5} A

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} (1)

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

The charge stored on the capacitor is given by

Q=CV (2)

where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage across the capacitor.

The displacement current in the capacitor is given by

J=\frac{Q}{t} (3)

where t is the time elapsed

Substituting (1) and (2) into (3), we find an expression for the displacement current:

J=\frac{CV}{t}=\frac{\epsilon_0 A}{d} \frac{V}{t}

where we have

A=\pi (\frac{d}{2})^2=\pi (\frac{0.056 m}{2})^2=2.46\cdot 10^{-3} m^2

d = 0.58 mm = 5.8\cdot 10^{-4} m

\frac{V}{t}=500,000 V/s

Substituting into the equation, we find

J=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(2.46\cdot 10^{-3} m^2)}{5.8\cdot 10^{-4}m}(500,000 V/s)=1.88\cdot 10^{-5} A

Ronch [10]

Answer:

C. Both A and B

Explanation:

<em>Electronic leveling systems: </em>These are automatic lifting jacks use for raising  wheels and vehicle when parked or when work is to be done on the vehicle engine underneath or on wheels. unlike the manual jacks it is very quick and efficient.

Both technician right, for Technician A, a weight may be use during the procedure for balancing and leveling when raising, and for Technician B, the sensor in the electronic leveling systems is adjustable to adjust the height so as to maintain balancing and levelling.
