Answer:

c) ability to store charge

Explanation:

The capacity of an object gives a measure of the ability of the object to store electric charge. In formula, it is defined as the ratio between the charge stored on the object and the electric potential on the object:

$C=\frac{Q}{V}$

where

Q is the charge

V is the voltage

Therefore, an object with a larger capacity than another object means that if the two objects are at same voltage V, the first object can store more charge than the second object.

A student measures the volume of a gas sample at several different temperatures. The results are tabulated as follows:Temperatur

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume

b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K) Volume of gas (L)

298 4.55

315 4.81

325 4.96

335 ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

298 / 4.55 = 65.5

315 / 4.81 = 65.5

325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a constant temperature-to-volume ratio, which may be expressed in a formula as:

Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and

The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).

What happens in a tug of war if the net forces are balanced and why?

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Balanced forces are responsible for unchanging motion. Balanced forces are forces where the effect of one force is cancelled out by another. A tug of war, where each team is pulling equally on the rope, is an example of balanced forces. The forces exerted on the rope are equal in size and opposite in direction.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1.40 kg discus with a speed of 22.5 m/s?

Oksana_A [137]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) (1.4 kg) (22.5 m/s)²

   = (0.7 kg) (506.25 m²/s² )

   = 354.375 kg-m²/s² = 354.375 joules .

This is just the kinetic energy associated with a 1.4-kg glob of
mass sailing through space at 22.5 m/s. In the case of a frisbee,
it's also spinning, and there's some additional kinetic energy stored
in the spin.

Please help me I have been struggling

disa [49]

High/low notes have high/low frequency, not high/low amplitude.
Heartz measures the number of waves per second, not per hour.
Sounds do not travel in space because it's empty
Sounds make our eardrum vibrate. The diaphragm is the muscle we use to breathe.
Soft, pale materials are best for sound proofing because they absorb the waves.
In the next paragraph, ultrasound and infrasound are inverted (ultra means "over, above" and infra means "below").
