Answer:

W = 600 N

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage of any machine is the ratio of the load or weight to the effort applied. Hence, the general formula for mechanical advantage is as follows:

M.A = W/P

where,

M.A =Mechanical Advantage of Hammer = 10

W = Maximum force that could be generated = ?

P = Force created by me = 60 N

Therefore,

10 = W/60 N

W = 10*60 N

<u>W = 600 N</u>

If silicic rock is found in a core sample. What evidence does this provide about the rocks location ?
frez [133]

Answer:

The rocks location is underneath an ocean or mountain

Explanation:

Silicic rock are igneous rock rich in silica. The amount of silica that constitutes a silicic rock is usually defined as at least sixty three percent. Granite and rhyolite are the most common silicic rocks found. These are found in the magma of the Earth.

Silicic is the group of silicate magmas which crystallise a relatively small proportion of ferromagnesian silicates. The main constituents of a silicic rock will be minerals rich in silica-minerals mainly.

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is constructed with a plate area of 0.40 m2 and a plate separation of 0.10 mm. It is then
seropon [69]

Answer:

The charge stored  is  Q =  4.25 *10^{-7 } \ C

The energy stored is  E = 2.55*10^{-6} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The area of the plates is  A =  0.40 \ m^2

     The separation between the plate is d =  0.10 \ mm =0.0001 \ m

      The potential difference is  V =  12 \ V

       The permitivity of free space is  \epsilon_o  = 8.85 *10^{-12} C^2 \cdot N^{-1} \cdot m^2

         The dielectric constant of glass is K =  5.0

Generally the capacitance of this capacitor is

      C =  \frac{\epsilon_o  * A}{d}

substituting values

       C =  \frac{8.85*10^{-12}  * 0.40}{0.0001}

        C =   3.34 *10^{-8} \ C

The charge stored is mathematically evaluated as

         Q = CV

substituting values

        Q =  (3.54*10^{-8} * 12)

         Q =  4.25 *10^{-7 } \ C

The energy stored is  

         E =  0.5 *  CV^2

substituting values

         E =  0.5 *  (4.25 *10^{-7} * 12^2)

           E = 2.55*10^{-6} \ J
