Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

Dvinal [7]

I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}$
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
$V=Ed$
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
$\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\
\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}$
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.

You apply a horizontal force of 25N to push a shopping cart across the parking lot at a constant velocity. a) what is the net fo

AlekseyPX

(a) The net force on the shopping cart is zero.

(b) The the force of friction on the shopping cart is 25 N.

<h3>Net force on the shopping cart</h3>

The net force on the shopping cart is calculated as follows;

F(net) = F - Ff

where;

F is the applied force
Ff is the frictional force

ma = F - Ff

where;

a is acceleration of the cart
m is mass of the cart

at a constant velocity, a = 0

0 = F - Ff

F(net) = 0

F = Ff = 25 N

Net force is zero, and frictional force is equal to applied force.

<h3>On wet surface</h3>

Coefficient of kinetic friction of solid surface is greater than that of wet surface.

Since frictional force limit motion, when the frictional force is smaller, the object tends to move faster.

Thus, the cart will move faster on a wet surface due to decrease in friction.

What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli Effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 3.00 cm

Exit diameter = 9.00 cm

Flow = 40.0 L/s²

We need to calculate the pressure

Using Bernoulli effect

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho g h_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

When two point are at same height so ,

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2$ ....(I)

Firstly we need to calculate the velocity

Using continuity equation

For input velocity,

$Q=A_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{Q}{A_{1}}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{1}=56.58\ m/s$

For output velocity,

$v_{2}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(4.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{2}=6.28\ m/s$

Put the value into the formula

$P_{1}-P_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

$\Delta P=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(56.58^2-6.28^2)$

$\Delta P=1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$

(b). We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula of height

$\Delta P=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$1.58\times10^{6}=1000\times9.8\times h$

$h=\dfrac{1.58\times10^{6}}{1000\times9.8}$

$h=161.22\ m$

Hence, The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

How can you tell that this paragraph uses a quotation?<br> Check all that apply?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer- There are two reasons that we know quotations have been used first is the use of of name of the person who quoted it and secondly the quotation is written inside the quotation marks.

Explanation- Quotation is nothing but using a line that has been already quoted by someone somewhere. Such sentences are normally written inside quotation marks. In the above given paragraph the name of the person who quotes the sentence is also given hence we know that our quotation has been used.
