Which of these biomes receives the least amount of rainfall every year?

Answer:

Desert

Explanation:

The desert receives the least amount of rainfall yearly.

A desert can be described a barren area of land where little amount of rainfall occurs and, because of this, living conditions are not favourable for plants and animal life. Because there is no vegetation in a desert, the bare surface of the ground are subjected to denudation.

The velocity function (in meters per second) is given for a particle moving along a line. v(t) = 5t − 9, 0 ≤ t ≤ 3 (a) Find the

Reil [10]

Answer:

a) The displacement is -4.5 m.

b) The traveled distance is 11.7 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a)The velocity of the particle is the derivative of the displacement function, x(t):

v(t) = dx/dt = 5t - 9

Separating varibles:

dx = (5t - 9)dt

Integrating both sides from x = x0 to x and from t = 0 to t.

x - x0 = 1/2 · 5t² - 9t

x = 1/2 · 5t² - 9t + x0

If we place the origin of the system of reference at x = x0, the displacement at t = 3 will be x(3):

x(3) = 1/2 · 5 · (3)² - 9(3) + 0

x(3) = -4.5

The displacement at t = 3 s is -4.5 m. It means that the particle is located 4.5 m to the left from the origin of the system of reference at t = 3 s.

b) When the velocity is negative, the particle moves to the left. Let´s find the time at which the velocity is less than zero:

v = 5t - 9

0 > 5t - 9

9/5 > t

1.8 s > t

Then until t = 1.8 s, the particle moves to the left from the origin of the reference system.

Let´s find the position of the particle at that time:

x = 1/2 · 5t² - 9t

x = 1/2 · 5(1.8 s)² - 9(1.8 s)

x = -8.1 m

From t = 0 to t = 1.8 s the traveled distance is 8.1 m. After 1.8 s, the particle has positive velocity. It means that the particle is moving to the right, towards the origin. If at t = 3 the position of the particle is -4.5 m, then the traveled distance from x = -8.1 m to x = -4.5 m is (8.1 m - 4.5 m) 3.6 m.

Then, the total traveled distance is (8.1 m + 3.6 m) 11.7 m.

Addition of a metal slab of thickness "a" between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate separation "d" is equivalent

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

$K = \frac{d}{d+a}$

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor in terms of the dielectric constant, area of the plate and the distance separating the plate is given by:

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

Where A = Area of the plate

d = distance between the plates

$\epsilon =$ dielectric constant

Case 1:

When a meta slab of thickness, a, is added between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor , the effective separation between the plates becomes d+a

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

$C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d + a}$ .......................(1)

Case 2:

Introducing a dielectric with dielectric constant K between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

$C = \frac{K\epsilon A}{d}$ .........................(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

$\frac{K\epsilon A}{d} = \frac{\epsilon A}{d+a}\\\frac{K}{d} = \frac{1}{d+a} \\K = \frac{d}{d+a}$

Consider two identical objects of mass m = 0.250 kg and charge q = 4.00 μC. The first charge is held in place at the origin of a

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a = 640 m/s²

Explanation:

From work-kinetic energy principles,

The net force acting on the second object is the gravitational force and the electric force due to the first object.

So, the gravitational force on the mass is F₁ = Gm₁m₂/r² since m₁ = m₂ = m, U = -Gm²/r²

Also, the electric force on the charge is F₂ = kq₁q₂/r² since q₁ = q₂ = q, U = kq²/r²

The net Force F = ma

So, -F₁ + F₂ = F (F₁ is negative since it is an attractive force in the negative x -direction and F₂ is positive since it is a repulsive force in the positive x- direction)

-Gm²/r² + kq²/r² = ma

ma = -Gm²/r² + kq²/r²

a = (-Gm²/r² + kq²/r²)/m

a = (-G + kq²/m²)m/r²

Since m = 0.250 kg, q = 4.00 μC = 4.00 × 10⁻⁶ C, r = 3.00 cm = 3.00 × 10⁻² m, G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² and a = acceleration of second mass.

Substituting the variables into the equation, we have

a = (m/r²)(-G + k(q/m)²)]

a = (0.250 kg/{3.00 × 10⁻² m}²)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(4.00 × 10⁻⁶ C/0.250 kg)²)

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(16 × 10⁻⁶ C/kg)²)]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²(256 × 10⁻¹² C²/kg²)]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(-6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² + 2304 × 10⁻³ Nm²/kg² ]

a = (0.250 kg/9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m)(2.304 Nm²/kg²)

a = 0.576 Nm²/kg /9.00 × 10⁻⁴ m²

a = 0.064 × 10⁴N/kg

a = 64 × 10 N/kg)

a = 640 m/s²
