Answer:

\tau = 1\ ms

Explanation:

First we need to find the capacitance of the capacitor.

The capacitance is given by:

C = \epsilon_0 * area / distance

Where \epsilon_0 is the air permittivity, which is approximately 8.85 * 10^(-12)

The radius is 12/2 = 6 mm = 0.006 m, so the area of the capacitor is:

Area = \pi * radius^{2}\\Area = \pi * 0.006^2\\Area = 113.1 * 10^{-6}\ m^2

So the capacitance is:

C = \frac{8.85 * 10^{-12} * 113.1 * 10^{-6}}{0.001}

C = 10^{-12}\ F = 1\ pF

The time constant of a rc-circuit is given by:

\tau = RC

So we have that:

\tau = 10^{9} * 10^{-12} = 10^{-3}\ s = 1\ ms

a sound wave travels at 330 m/sec and has a wavelenght of 2meters. calcuate the frequency and period
Sergio039 [100]

The frequency of any wave is  (speed) / (wavelength).

 Frequency = (330 m/s) / (2m)  =  165 per second = <em>165 Hz</em>.

Period = 1 / frequency  =  1 / (165 per second) = <em>0.0061 second </em>

In addition to their remarkable top speeds of almost 60 mph, cheetahs have impressive cornering abilities. In one study, the max
Sav [38]

Answer:

the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the cheetah's feet is 1.94

Explanation:

Given that ;

the top speed of Cheetahs is almost 60 mph

In cornering abilities ; the maximum centripetal acceleration of a cheetah was measured to be = 19 m/s^2

The objective of this question is to determine the what minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the cheetah's feet is necessary to provide this acceleration?

From the knowledge of Newton's Law;

we knew that ;

Force F = mass m × acceleration a

Also;

The net force  F_{net}  = frictional force \mu_k mg

so we can say that;

m×a = \mu_k mg

where;

the coefficient of static friction \mu_k is:

\mu_k = \dfrac{m*a}{m*g}

\mu_k = \dfrac{a}{g}

\mu_k = \dfrac{19 \ m/s^2}{9.81 \ m/s^2}

\mathbf{\mu_k} = 1.94

Hence; the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the ground and the cheetah's feet is 1.94

Usually, long spanners are preferred more than short spanners to unscrew a very tight rusted nut. Give reason.​
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

The longer arm means the force needed to create the required torque is lower than for the short handled spanner.
