Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)

Calculate the angular velocity of the earth in its orbit around the sun.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

0.0172rad/day=1.99x10^{-7}rad/second

Explanation:

The definition of angular velocity is as follows:

\omega=2\pi f

where \omega is the angular velocity, and f is the frequency.

Frequency can also be represented as:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where T is the period, (the time it takes to conclude a cycle)

with this, the angular velocity is:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

The period T of rotation around the sun 365 days, thus, the angular velocity:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{365days}=0.0172rad/day

if we want the angular velocity in rad/second, we need to convert the 365 days to seconds:

Firt conveting to hous

365days(\frac{24hours}{1day} )=8760hours

then to minutes

8760hours(\frac{60minutes}{1hour} )=525,600minutes

and finally to seconds

525,600minutes(\frac{60seconds}{1minute})=31,536x10^3seconds

thus, angular velocity in rad/second is:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{31,536x10^3seconds}=1.99x10^{-7}rad/second

Determine
djyliett [7]

(i) The total capacitance for the circuit is 5 μF.

(ii) The total charge stored in the circuit is 1 x 10⁻⁴ C.

(iii) The charge stored in 3μF capacitor is  6 x 10⁻⁶ C.

<h3>Total capacitance of the circuit</h3>

The total capacitance of the circuit is determined by reolving the series capacitors separate and parallel capacitors separate as well.

<h3>C1 and C2 are in series </h3>

\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{C_1 } + \frac{1}{C_2} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{4 } + \frac{1}{4} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{12}} = \frac{1}{2} \\\\C_{12} = 2 \ \mu F

<h3>C1 and C2 are parallel to C3</h3>

C_{123} = C_{12} + C_3\\\\C_{123} = 2\ \mu F + 2\ \mu F \\\\C_{123} = 4 \ \mu F

<h3>C(123) is series to C5 and C6</h3>

\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{C_{123}} + \frac{1}{C_5} + \frac{1}{C_6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{12}{24} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{t} } = \frac{1}{2} \\\\C_t = 2 \ \mu F

<h3>C7 and C8 are in series</h3>

\frac{1}{C_{78}} = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{78}} = \frac{2}{6} \\\\\frac{1}{C_{78}} =\frac{1}{3} \\\\C_{78} = 3 \ \mu F

<h3>Total capaciatnce of the circuit</h3>

Ct + C(78) = 2 μF + 3 μF = 5 μF

<h3 /><h3>Total charge stored in the circuit</h3>

The total charge stored in the capacitor is calculated as follows;

Q = CV

Q = (5 x 10⁻⁶) x (20)

Q = 1 x 10⁻⁴ C

<h3>Charge stored in 3μF capacitor</h3>

Q =  (3 x 10⁻⁶) x (20)

Q = 6 x 10⁻⁶ C

HELP WITH THIS QUESTION PLEASE!<br><br> What Factors Affect Climate?
harkovskaia [24]
Latitude, elevation, ocean currents, topography, and prevailing winds. There's probably a few others but these are the most important.

__________ helps us adapt to our environment. It also generally __________ with age. A. Plasticity . . . decreases B. Developmen
Nana76 [90]
Not sure this is a physics question (probably biology).
Anyway, the correct answer is A):
"Plasticity helps us to adapt to our environment. It also generally decreases with age".
Plasticity is the ability to adapt to the environment. Since this ability is linked with brain functions, and brain functions worsen with age, then plasticity decreases with age.
