Well, let's see:

If you live 'D' kilometers from the city, and you go and return by the same route, then

-- The time it takes you to reach the city, at 40 km/h, is  D/40  hours.

-- The time it takes you to return, at 60 km/h, is    D/60.

-- The total distance you cover is  2D, and the total driving time is

                        (D/40) + (D/60)

                   =  (3D/120)  +  (2D/120)

                   =        5D/120  =  D/24

-- Your average speed for the entire trip is

                         (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

                   =            ( 2D )   /   ( D/24 )

                   =              48 km/hr.

An ideal air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has round plates and carries a fixed amount of equal but opposite charge on its pla
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The new energy density is same as initial energy density u0 as it is independent of plate dimensions

Explanation:

As we know that energy density is total energy per unit volume

so we know that isolated plates of capacitor is placed here

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

here we have energy density given as

u = \frac{Q^2}{2(\epsilon_0 A/d)} Ad

so we have

u = \frac{Q^2d^2}{2\epsilon_0}

so it is independent of the dimensions of the plate while total charge on the plates is constant always

so energy density will not change and remains the same

A long, nonconducting cylinder (radius = 6.0 mm) has a nonuniform volume charge density given by αr2, where α = 6.2 mC/m5 and r
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: 2.80 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric firld inside the solid cylinder

non conductor we have to use the Gaussian law,

∫E.ds=Q inside/ε0

E*2πrL=ρ Volume of the Gaussian surface/ε0

E*2πrL= a*r^2 π* r^2* L/ε0

E=a*r^3/(2*ε0)

E=6.2 * (0.002)^3/ (2*8.85*10^-12)= 2.80 N/C
