Answer:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. As a result it cracks.

Explanation:

When a blade of cold knife is touched to hot glass chimney there is a sudden drop of temperature on the spot where the blade touches. This decrease in temperature makes the glass to contract. The stress developed on the site of contraction is responsible for the cracking of the glass chimney.

To get a feeling for inertial forces discuss the familiar cases of accelerating in a car in a straight line while increasing or
inn [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we accelerate in a car on a straight path we tend to lean backward because our lower body part which is directly in contact with the seat of the car gets accelerated along with it but the upper the upper body experiences this force  later on due to its own inertia. This force is accordance with Newton's second law of motion and is proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the upper body part.

Conversely we lean forward while the speed decreases and the same phenomenon happens in the opposite direction.

While changing direction in car the upper body remains in its position due to inertia but the lower body being firmly in contact with the car gets along in the direction of the car, seems that it makes the upper body lean in the opposite direction of the turn.

On abrupt change in the state of motion the force experienced is also intense in accordance with the Newton's second law of motion.

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2 is the area of the plates

d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}

Since we know the energy

U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

2<br><br> How does Descartes' "quality of motion" differ from the modern<br><br> momentum?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: Descartes was more of speed which defers from modern day velocity.

Explanation:

Descartes law if conservation referred or defined “motion” rather than “momentum” as what is obtainable in today's world as ”speed” the rate at which something moves rather than “velocity” which is a product of speed and direction. So in conclusion Descartes was more of speed which defers from modern day velocity.
