Answer:

t = 4.17 hours

Explanation:

given,

The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km

                                                                         = 4.5 x 10⁹ Km

                                                                          = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m

The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.

                                           <em>V = d / t    m/s</em>

∴                                           t = d / V

                                               = 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s

                                               = 15,000 s

                                               = 4.17 h

Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h

A vertical, solid steel post 25 cm in diameter and 2.50m long is required to support a load of 8000kg. You can ignore the weight
Gwar [14]

(a) The stress in the post is 1,568,000 N/m²

(b) The strain in the post is  7.61 x 10⁻⁶  

(c) The change in the post’s length when the load is applied is 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m.

<h3>Area of the steel post</h3>

A = πd²/4

where;

d is the diameter

A = π(0.25²)/4 = 0.05 m²

<h3>Stress on the steel post</h3>

σ = F/A

σ = mg/A

where;

  • m is mass supported by the steel
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • A is the area of the steel post

σ = (8000 x 9.8)/(0.05)

σ = 1,568,000 N/m²

<h3>Strain of the post</h3>

E = stress / strain

where;

  • E is Young's modulus of steel = 206 Gpa

strain = stress/E

strain = (1,568,000) / (206 x 10⁹)

strain = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶

<h3>Change in length of the steel post</h3>

strain = ΔL/L

where;

  • ΔL is change in length
  • L is original length

ΔL = 7.61 x 10⁻⁶ x 2.5

ΔL = 1.9 x 10⁻⁵ m

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic
Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

true or false, based on the color of the particles, a mixture can be classified as a solution, a suspension, or a colloid
expeople1 [14]
False, you pass a light through a mixture If the light bounces off the particles, you will see the light shine through and you have a colloid mixture

An airplane takes off from Dallas Texas to fly to new york city traveling ne for 2,760 km the Same plane returns that day to Dal
Kipish [7]
<h3>Answer</h3>

1104 km/hour

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Distance between Dallas Texas to New York = 2760 km

Time the plane took from Dallas to New York = 2 hours

Time the plane took from New York back to Dallas = 2.5 hours

Formula to use

<h3>distance = speed x time </h3>

Speed the plane took from Dallas to New York

2760 = 2 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2

          = 1380 km/hour

Speed the plane took from New York to Dallas (ROUND TRIP)

2760 = 2.5 x speed

speed = 2760 / 2.5

           = 1104 km/hour
