Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

lbvjy [14]

In collision of the steel ball and the steel plate, the collision is an inelastic collision and there is loss in the kinetic energy.

<h3>What are collisions?</h3>

Collisions occur when two objects that are moving in the same directions or in different direction meet each other and collide.

There are two types of collisions:

elastic collision - the kinetic energy is conserved
inelastic collision - there is a loss in kinetic energy

In the collision of the steel ball and the steel plate, there is loss in the kinetic energy of the steel ball which is converted to sound energy.

In conclusion, the collision of the steel and steel plate is an inelastic collision.

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 4.19 cm, 4.19 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.407 mm. 0.407 m

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C.

Explanation:

Given:

Side length of the capacitor plate (a) = 4.19 cm = 0.0419 m

Separation between the plates (d) = 0.407 mm = $0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m$

Energy stored in the capacitor (U) = $7.87\ nJ=7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J$

Assuming the medium to be air.

So, permittivity of space (ε) = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

Area of the square plates is given as:

$A=a^2=(0.0419\ m)^2=1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2$

Capacitance of the capacitor is given as:

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}\\\\C=\frac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m\times 1.75561\times 10^{-3}\ m^2 }{0.407\times 10^{-3}\ m}\\\\C=3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F$

Now, we know that, the energy stored in a parallel plate capacitor is given as:

$U=\frac{CE^2d^2}{2}$

Rewriting in terms of 'E', we get:

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2U}{Cd^2}}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'E'. This gives,

$E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 7.87\times 10^{-9}\ J}{3.819\times 10^{-11}\ F\times (0.407\times 10^{-3})^2\ m^2}}\\\\E=49880.77\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field strength inside the capacitor is 49880.77 N/C

5. An acrobat, starting from rest, swings freely on a trapeze of

34kurt

The energy conservation and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m

The energy conservation is one of the most fundamental principles of physics, stable that if there are no friction forces the mechanistic energy remains constant. Mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the potential energies.

Em = K + U

Let's write the energy in two points.

Starting point. Highest part of the oscillation

Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower part of the movement

$Em_f$ = K = ½ m v²

Energy is conserved.

Emo = $Em_f$

m g h = ½ m v²

v² = 2 gh

Let's use trigonometry to find the height, see attached.

h = L - L cos θ

h = L (1- cos θ)

They indicate that the initial angle is tea = 48º and the length is L = 3.7 m, let's calculate.

h = 3.7 (1- cos 48)

h = 1.22 m

this is the maximum height of the movement.

Let's calculate the velocity.

$v= \sqrt{2 \ 9.8 \ 1.22}$

v = 4.89 m / s

In conclusion using the conservation of energy and trigonometry we can find the results for the questions about the movement of the acrobat are;

a) The maximum speed is v = 4.89 m / s

b) The maximum height is h = 1.22 m
