Answer is D.

Speed:
Use relative speed to simplify the situation. Since the trains are moving in opposite directions, you can add the speeds and pretend the first train is stationary (moving at 0m/s) and the second train is moving at 50m/s.

Distance:
The front of the second train needs to travel 120m to get from the front to the back of the first train. When the front of the second train is at the back of the first train, the back of the second train is still 10m in front of the first train. The back therefore has to travel 130m to clear the first train. The total distance over which the trains are overlapping in this scenario is therefore 120 + 130 = 250m.

You have speed and you have distance so now just calculate time:

v = d / t
50 = 250 / t
t = 5s

A dielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area A = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by

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

where

ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 C2/N.m2 is the vacuum permittivity

k = 3.00 is the dielectric constant

A=30.0 cm^2 = 30.0\cdot 10^{-4}m^2 is the area of the plates

d = 9.00 mm = 0.009 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)(3.00 ) \frac{30.0\cdot 10^{-4} m^2}{0.009 m}=8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F

Now we can calculate the energy of the capacitor, given by:

U=\frac{1}{2}CV^2

where

C is the capacitance

V = 15.0 V is the potential difference

Substituting,

U=\frac{1}{2}(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F)(15.0 V)^2=9.96\cdot 10^{-10}J

At E the potential energy is maximum/highest. The potential energy decreases as it goes down and increases as it goes up. so if the pendulum swinged from E to A, potential energy would decrease till C and increase till A.

In the absence of a gravitational field, you could determine the mass of an object (of unknown composition) by:
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.

Explanation:

This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.

Once the force, and acceleration are applied, the only unknown is the mass which can be solved by dividing force over acceleration. This is because inertial mass is equal to gravitational mass.

Featured snippet from the web

In energy transfer, happens from one object to another without changing its form. For example, when you fill a pot of water and sit it on the stove, the water continues to heat until you turn it off. While in a energy transformation, the energy changes forms such as Chemical, kinetic.
