A smoke detector is an electronic fire-protection device that automatically senses the presence of smoke as a key indicator of f

ire and creates a loud sound as a warning. In 3-5 sentences, describe what is happening inside a photoelectric smoke detector as soon as smoke enters it

Answer:

Photoelectric-type alarms aim a light source into a sensing chamber at an angle away from the sensor. Smoke enters the chamber, reflecting light onto the light sensor; triggering the alarm.

If a liquid has a density of 1.67 g/cm^3, what is the volume of 45g of the liquid?
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

V = 26.95 cm³

Explanation:

Density is given by the formula :

ρ = m÷V

Density = mass ÷ Volume

Given both density and mass we rearrange, substitute and solve for Volume :

Rearranging the equation to make Volume the subject :

ρ = m÷V

ρV = m

V = m÷ ρ

Now substitute :

V = 45 ÷ 1.67

V = 26.9461077844

Take 2 decimal places as the density is 2 decimal places :

V = 26.95

Units will be cm³ as it is volume

Hope this helped and have a good day

Answer:

A. U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is its ability to store charges. For parallel-plate capacitors, this ability depends the material between the plates, the common plate area and the plate separation. The relationship is

C=\dfrac{\epsilon A}{d}

C is the capacitance, A is the common plate area, d is the plate separation and \epsilon is the permittivity of the material between the plates.

For air or free space, \epsilon is \epsilon_0 called the permittivity of free space. In general, \epsilon=\epsilon_r \epsilon_0 where \epsilon_r is the relative permittivity or dielectric constant of the material between the plates. It is a factor that determines the strength of the material compared to air. In fact, for air or vacuum, \epsilon_r=1.

The energy stored in a capacitor is the average of the product of its charge and voltage.

U = \dfrac{QV}{2}

Its charge, Q, is related to its capacitance by Q=CV (this is the electrical definition of capacitance, a ratio of the charge to its voltage; the previous formula is the geometric definition). Substituting this in the formula for U,

U = \dfrac{CV^2}{2}

A. Substituting for C in U,

U_0 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

B. When the distance is 3d,

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2\times3d}

U_1 = \dfrac{\epsilon_0 A V^2}{6d}

C. When the distance is restored but with a dielectric material of dielectric constant, K, inserted, we have

U_2 = \dfrac{K\epsilon_0 A V^2}{2d}

What is the relationship between the electric force and each one of the charges?
Bess [88]

Explanation: Electrostatic force is directly related to the charge of each object. So if the charge of one object is doubled, then the force will become two times greater.

What is the impulse of a 3kg object accelerating from rest to 12m/s?
ale4655 [162]
To find the impulse you multiply the mass by the change in velocity (impulse=mass×Δvelocity). So in this case, 3 kg × 12 m/s ("12" because the object went from zero m/s to 12 m/s).

The answer is 36 kg m/s
