Your friend says that inertia is a force that keeps things in their place, either at rest or moving at a constant speed. Do you

agree?

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The error in the sentence is that inertia is not a force.

In fact, inertia is just the tendency of an object to keep its state of rest/motion if the net force acting on it is zero. As stated in Newton's First Law, also called Law of Inertia:

"An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue its motion with constant velocity if the net force acting on it is zero"

This law basically tells us that as long as there are no forces acting on an object, the object mantains its state of rest/motion. On the contrary, in order to change the state of motion of an object, we need a net force different from zero.

A sound wave propagates through a region filled with an ideal gas at constant temperature T. It approaches an acoustically perme
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The answer is <em>e.2</em>

Explanation:

We should make use of Snell's refractive law. The arriving wave has a certain velocity at T in a medium, then instantly it reaches a medium (same composition) at T' where velocity would either decrease or increase.

When the incidence angle is 30 °, and we want to make the refraction angle 90 ° such that no sound passes through the barrier (this would be named total internal refraction), so we want the second medium to be "faster" than in the first.

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.

What is the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4. 56 x 10^-19 j
Sauron [17]

The frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

<h3>What is a frequency?</h3>

The number of waves that travel through a particular point in a given length of time is described by frequency. So, if a wave takes half a second to pass, the frequency is 2 per second.

Given that the energy of the photon is 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J. Therefore, the frequency of the photon can be written as,

\rm \gamma = \dfrac{E}{h} = \dfrac{4.56x10^{-19} J}{6.626 \times 10^{-34}\ Jsec^{-1}}\\\\\\\gamma  = 6.88 \times 10^{14}\ s^{-1}

Hence, the frequency of a photon with an energy of 4.56 x 10⁻¹⁹ J is 6.88×10¹⁴ s⁻¹.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor and accelerates to the positive plate (see
mash [69]

Answer:

(7.90 × 10⁻¹⁵) J

Explanation:

The electric force exerted on the elecrron by rhe electric field is given by

F = qE

where |q| = charge on the particle = (1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹) C

E = magnitude of the electric field = (2.9 × 10⁶) V/m or N/C

F = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ × 2.9 × 10⁶ = (4.646 × 10⁻¹³) N

From Newton's first law of motion relation, we can obtain the acceleration this force confers on the electron

F = ma

m = mass of the electron = (9.11 × 10⁻³¹) kg

a = acceleration of the electron caused by the electric force = ?

(4.646 × 10⁻¹³) = (9.11 × 10⁻³¹) × a

a = (4.646 × 10⁻¹³)/(9.11 × 10⁻³¹)

a = (5.10 × 10¹⁷) m/s²

Now, using the equations of motion, we can obtain the velocity with which the electron reaches the positive plate

u = initial velocity of the electron = 0 m/s (since the electron was initially at rest)

v = final velocity of the electron = ?

a = acceleration of the electron = (5.10 × 10¹⁷) m/s²

y = distance covered by the electron = 1.7 cm = 0.017 m

v² = u² + 2ay

v² = 0² + 2(5.10 × 10¹⁷)(0.017)

v² = (1.734 × 10¹⁶)

v = 131,677,182.5 m/s = (1.32 × 10⁸) m/s

Kinetic energy with which the electron hits the positive plate = (1/2)(m)(v²) = (1/2)(9.11 × 10⁻³¹)(1.32 × 10⁸)² = (7.90 × 10⁻¹⁵) J

Hope this Helps!!!
