joja [24]

Answer:

5m/8

Explanation:

Function T gives the time the Hobbits have to prepare for the attack, T(k), in minutes, as a function of troll's distance, k, in meters.

Function V gives visibility from the watchtower, V(m), in meters, as a function of the height of the watchtower, m, in meters.

Therefore, T(V(m)) will give the time the Hobbits have to prepare for the troll attack as a function of the height, m, of the watchtower.

We can input m into function V to obtain the visibility from watchtower, V(m), in meters. Since visibility indicates the distance you can see, this also gives the distance of the trolls. This can then be input into function T to obtain the time that the Hobbits have to prepare for a troll attack.

Let's find T(V(m)) by substituting the formula for V(m) into function T as shown below.

T(V(M))=T(50m)

=50m/80

We can simplify this as follows:

=50m/80

=5m/8

You are working on charge-storage devices for a research center. Your goal is to store as much charge on a given device as possi
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Part B  Mica- mylar- paper- quartz

Explanation:

The capacity of a capacitor is given by

           C = ε ε₀ A / d

Where the dielectric constant (ε) is the value of the material between the plates of the capacitor, we see that as if value increases the capacity also increases.

Another magnitude that we must take into account that the maximum working voltage, the greater the safer is the capacitor

the flexibility of the material must also be taken into account

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Pate B order the materials from best to worst

Mica. The best ever

Mylar Flexible

Paper Low capacity, low working voltage, flexible

Quartz high dielectric, but brittle

Metals are used in many products because of the characteristic properties that most metals share. Which properties of the metal
Anastaziya [24]

The most important characteristics that are exhibited by metals are-

1- Metals are ductile

2-Most metals are conductive in nature.

3-Most metals are malleable.

4- Metals have strong inter molecular force of attraction between the.

5-Metals have luster.

6-Metals are sonorous.

Here we are given Tungsten filament.

Tungsten is  a metal.So it must be conductive and as well as ductile in nature.

The electric filament that we are using in our electric bulb glows due to the heating effect of current.Hence the chosen substances for glowing electric bulb must have high melting point.

The melting point of tungsten is 1650 degree celsius which is very high.That's why it is used in electric bulb.

Hence the correct answer to the question is the third one i.e Tungsten is ductile,has a high melting point, and is electrically conductive.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.
Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}

ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}

At the same time we have that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.
