Light is a very complex phenomenon, but in many situations its behavior can be understood with a simple model based on rays and wave fronts. A ray is a thin beam of light that travels in a straight line. A wave front is the line (not necessarily straight) or surface connecting all the light that left a source at the same time. For a source like the Sun, rays radiate out in all directions; the wave fronts are spheres centered on the Sun. If the source is a long way away, the wave fronts can be treated as parallel lines.

Rays and wave fronts can generally be used to represent light when the light is interacting with objects that are much larger than the wavelength of light, which is about 500 nm. In particular, we'll use rays and wave fronts to analyze how light interacts with mirrors and lenses.

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

$\Delta V = E d$

where

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference between the plates

E is the electric field strength

d is the distance between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have

$E=5.00\cdot 10^6 V/m$

$d = 2.50 mm = 2.50\cdot 10^{-3} m$

Substituting, we find

$\Delta V = (5.00\cdot 10^6)(2.50\cdot 10^{-3})=12500 V$

Most of our Solar system is composed of___

Bond [772]

Answer:

empty space

Explanation:

Our solar system comprises of the sun as the star, the planets, the dwarf planets, various moons, and plenty of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. However, the majority part of the solar system consists of a void or empty space. These empty spaces basically composed of planetary dust and gas.

Hence, it can be concluded that Most of our Solar system is composed of "Empty Spaces."

Free runners jump long distances and land on the ground or a wall. How do they apply Newton’s second law to lessen the force of

Veseljchak [2.6K]

As we know that as per Newton's II law we have

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

here we will have

$dP$ = change in momentum

$dt$ = time interval in which momentum is changed

now in order to have least injury during jumping we need to have least force on the jumper

so in order to have least force we can say that the momentum must have to change in maximum time so that amount of force must be least

So we need to increase the time in which momentum of the system is changed

A 2 kg ball of putty moving to the right at 3 m/s has a perfectly inelastic, head-on collision with a 1 kg ball of putty moving

Aneli [31]

Answer:

$V=1.33m/s$ to the right

Explanation:

The balls collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V.

We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision.

In the axis X:

$m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V$ (1)

$V=(m_{1}*v_{o1}-m_{2}*v_{o2})/(m_{1}+m_{2})=(2*3-1*2)/(2+1)=1.33m/s$
