Answer:

A) As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.

Explanation:

The acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity.

Thus, if you have positive velocity and positive acceleration, your velocity increases

If you have positive velocity and negative acceleration, then your velocity decreases.

(The opposite happens when you have negative velocity).

Now, when the skydiver is falling, her velocity is downwards.

When she opens her parachute, her velocity downwards decreases.

This means that when she opens her parachute, she will have an acceleration in the opposite direction to her velocity, then at this point her acceleration is upwards.

We can conclude that the correct option is:

A) As her parachute opens, her acceleration is upwards.

At what time of day would you be most likely to find that the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land near
Brut [27]

This would happen later at night or early in the morning.

The reason being land becomes warm and cold quicker than the water because of the heat capacity. So during the day water warms up because of sunlight but at night the land becomes a lot cooler as compared to the water which is still war. So the air over water is significantly warmer than the air over land.

What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500
padilas [110]

Answer:

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

Explanation:

You are missing the first part of the problem. This is an example, but it will give you the idea of how to solve yours with your data.

The first part is like this:

<em>A      4.0 cm  diameter parallel plate capacitor has a  0.44 m  m    gap. What is the displacement current in the capacitor if the potential difference across the capacitor is increasing at 500,000 V/s?</em>

Now with this, we can solve the problem.

In order to do this, we need to use the following expression:

q = CV (1)

Where:

C: Capacitance of a parellel capacitor (in Faraday)

q: charge of plate or capacitor (In coulombs)

V: voltage in Volts.

However, we need is the current, and we have data of potential difference, so, all we have to do is divide the expression between time so:

q/t = CV/t

And the current is q/t, thus:

I = C * V/t (2)

And finally, Capacitance C with two plates of area A separated by a distance d is:

C = Eo*A/d (3)

Where:

Eo = constant equals to 8.85x10^-12 F/m.

A = Area of the plate, in this case, πr²

d = gap of the capacitor.

Let's calculate first the Capacitance using equation (3):

C = 8.85x10^-12 * π * (0.04/2)² / 0.00046 = 2.42x10^-11 F

Now, it's time to use equation (2) and solve for I:

I = 2.42x10^-11 * 500,000

I = 1.21x10^-5 A

Does the lattice energy of an ionic solid increase or decrease as the charges or sizes of the ions increase?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

What is the total energy of a particle with a rest mass of 1 gram moving with half the speed of light? 1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J. An
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

6.5 x 10^32 eV

Explanation:

mass of particle, mo = 1 g = 0.001 kg

velocity of particle, v = half of velocity of light = c / 2

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Energy associated to the particle

E = γ mo c^2

E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^{2}}{4c^{2}}}}

E=\frac{2m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{3}}

E=\frac{2\times0.001\times9\times10^{16}}{1.732}

E=1.04\times10^{14}J

Convert Joule into eV

1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J

So, E=\frac{1.04\times10^{14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}=6.5\times10^{32}eV
