Answer:

Ok, so the car has traversed a total of 2 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 14 miles.

That's the car's distance! :)

For the displacement, you can draw out a diagram. I'll try my best to make one using a keyboard xDDD

| - - - start - end!

So, this is the journey of the car: Going two up, 4 left, 2 down, and 6 right.

This ends up 2 to the right of the beginning!

That's a 2 mile displacement :)

Can you give me brainliest for my splendid diagram? xD

Kay [80]

Biodiversity boosts ecosystem productivity where each species, no matter how small, all have an important role to play.A larger number of plant species means a greater variety of crops. Greater species diversity ensures natural sustainability for all life forms.

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$\rm 9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Diameter of the plates of the capacitor, D = 21 cm = 0.21 m.
Distance of separation between the plates, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m.
Minimum value of electric field that produces spark, $\rm E=3\times 10^6\ N/C.$

When the dimensions of the plate of the capacitor is comparatively much larger than the distance of separation between the plates, then, according to the Gauss' law of electrostatics, the value of the electric field strength in the region between the plates of the capacitor is given by

$\rm E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}.$

where,

$\rm \sigma$ = surface charge density of the plate of the capacitor = $\dfrac qA$ .

$\rm q$ = magnitude of the charge on each of the plate.
$\rm A$ = surface area of each of the plate = $\rm \pi \times (Radius)^2=\pi \times\left ( \dfrac{D}{2}\right )^2= \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{0.21}{2}\right )^2=3.46\times 10^{-2}\ m^2.$
$\epsilon_o$ = electrical permittivity of free space, having value = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\rm \ C^2N^{-1}m^{-2}.$

For the minimum value of electric field that produces spark,

$\rm E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\Rightarrow q = E\ A\epsilon_o\\=3\times 10^6\times 3.46\times 10^{-2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\\=9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

It is the maximum value of the magnitude of charge which can be added up to each of the plates of the capacitor.

A 3.00-kg object has a velocity 1 6.00 i ^ 2 2.00 j ^2 m/s. (a) what is its kinetic energy at this moment? (b) what is the net w

tatyana61 [14]

(a) The velocity of the object on the x-axis is 6 m/s, while on the y-axis is 2 m/s, so the magnitude of its velocity is the resultant of the velocities on the two axes:
$v= \sqrt{(6.00m/s)^2+(2.00 m/s)^2}=6.32 m/s$
And so, the kinetic energy of the object is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(6.32 m/s)^2=60 J$

(b) The new velocity is 8.00 m/s on the x-axis and 4.00 m/s on the y-axis, so the magnitude of the new velocity is
$v= \sqrt{(8.00 m/s)^2+(4.00 m/s)^2}=8.94 m/s$
And so the new kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(3.00 kg)(8.94 m/s)^2=120 J$

So, the work done on the object is the variation of kinetic energy of the object:
$W=\Delta K=120 J-60 J=60 J$

If you live on the path of a jet stream, will the temperature get hotter or colder?

Evgen [1.6K]

Jet streams are tied to global warming so I’m guessing hotter
