Answer:

The officer's unit detects this 135-mile-per-hour speed and should subtract the patrol car's 70-mile -per-hour ground speed to get your true speed of 65 miles per hour. Instead, the officer's ground-speed beam fixes on the truck ahead and measures a false 50-mile-per-hour ground speed.

Explanation:

A speedometer or speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle. Now universally fitted to motor vehicles, they started to be available as options in the early 20th century, and as standard equipment from about 1910 onwards.

What is the period of a wave traveling 5 m/s if its wavelength is 20 m/s

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Speed of wave is given as

$v = 5 m/s$

Wavelength of the wave is given as

$\lambda = 20 m$

now from the formula of wave time period we can say

$speed = \frac{wavelength}{time period}$

$5 = \frac{20}{T}$

$T = \frac{20}{5}$

$T = 4 s$

so it will have time period of T = 4 s

A positively charged particle is in the center of a parallel-plate capacitor that has charge ±Q on its plates. SUppose the dista

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Stay the same

Explanation:

First of all, let's find how the capacitance of the capacitor changes.

Initially, it is given by

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

where

$\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity

A is the area of the plates

d is the separation between the plates

From the formula, we see that the capacitance is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates. In this problem, the distance between the plates is doubled, so the capacitance will be halved:

$C' = \frac{1}{2}C$

The potential difference across the capacitor is given by

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

where

Q is the charge on the plates

C is the capacitance

We see that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance. We said that the capacitance has halved: therefore, the potential difference across the two plates will double:

$V' = 2 V$

Now we can analyze the electric field between the plates of the capacitor, which is given by

$E=\frac{V}{d}$

we said that:

- The voltage has doubled: V' = 2 V

- The distance between the plates has doubled: d' = 2 d

therefore, the new electric field will be

$E'=\frac{2V}{2d}=\frac{V}{d}=E$

So, the electric field is unchanged. And since the force on the particle at the center is directly proportional to the electric field:

F = qE

Then the force on the particle will stay the same.
