Suppose you are driving in a convertible with the top down at constant speed. You point a rifle straight upward and fire it. In

(b) ahead of you, or

Answer:

(c) in the barrel of the rifle

Explanation:

When we are moving in a convertible with constant speed so as per inertia all the objects are moving with same speed as that the speed of convertible.

So here we can say that bullet when shot from the rifle then its speed is same as that of convertible in horizontal direction

So here we can say that if air friction is absent then bullet will move same horizontal distance as the distance moved by you in the convertible

so after it it will reach again at the same position then the displacement of you and bullet is same in horizontal direction so we can say that correct answer will be

(c) in the barrel of the rifle

Two cars A and B are 100m apart moving towards each other with
maxonik [38]

Let car A's starting position be the origin, so that its position at time <em>t</em> is

A: <em>x</em> = (40 m/s) <em>t</em>

and car B has position at time <em>t</em> of

B: <em>x</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

<em />

They meet when their positions are equal:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 100 m

<em>t</em> = (100 m) / (100 m/s) = 1 s

so the cars meet 1 second after they start moving.

They are 100 m apart when the difference in their positions is equal to 100 m:

(40 m/s) <em>t</em> - (100 m - (60 m/s) <em>t</em>) = 100 m

(subtract car B's position from car A's position because we take car A's direction to be positive)

(100 m/s) <em>t</em> = 200 m

<em>t</em> = (200 m) / (100 m/s) = 2 s

so the cars are 100 m apart after 2 seconds.

A 2.0-cm-diameter parallel-plate capacitor with a spacing of 0.50 mm is charged to 200 V?What is the total energy stores in the
Rama09 [41]

1) 1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

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

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

where

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of each plate

d is the distance between the plates

Here, the radius of each plate is

r=\frac{2.0 cm}{2}=1.0 cm=0.01 m

so the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.01 m)^2=3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

While the separation between the plates is

d=0.50 mm=5\cdot 10^{-4} m

So the capacitance is

C=\frac{(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(3.14\cdot 10^{-4} m^2)}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F

And now we can find the energy stored,which is given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2=\frac{1}{2}(5.56\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(200 V)^2=1.11\cdot 10^{-7} J

2) 0.71 J/m^3

The magnitude of the electric field is given by

E=\frac{V}{d}=\frac{200 V}{5\cdot 10^{-4} m}=4\cdot 10^5 V/m

and the energy density of the electric field is given by

u=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2

and using

E=4\cdot 10^5 V/m, we find

u=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m)(4\cdot 10^5 V/m)^2=0.71 J/m^3
