Basile [38]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

p.d' = 37.6 V

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Potential difference p.d=18.8V

New Capacitor C_1=C_2/2

Generally the equation for Capacitor capacitance is mathematically given by

C=\frac{eA}{d}

Generally the equation for New p.d' is mathematically given by

 C_2V=C_1*p.d'

  p.d' = 2V

 p.d'= 2 * 18.8

 p.d' = 37.6 V

How much pressure is applied to the ground
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Pressure applied by the man= 285103.125 Pa  or 41.35 lb/in^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied per unit area.

i.e.  Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

Now, Force= mg

where, m = mass of the body(man) = 93 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.81 m/{s^{2}}

Area covered is equal to the area of both stilts(a man generally stands on two feet)

therefore Area=2(0.04)^{2} m^{2}

and putting in the values, we get,

Pressure=\frac{93\times9.81}{2\times(0.04)^{2}}Nm^{-2}=285103.125Nm^{-2}

Now we need to convert to our required units:

1Nm^{-2}=1Pa\\1Pa=0.000145038lb/in^{2}

(We can get the above result by individually converting kg to lb and meters to inches respectively)

Using the above relations we get,

Pressure=285103.125Pa=0.000145038\times285103.125lb/in^{2}=41.35lb/in^{2}

A vehicle reaches a speed of 7.5 m/s over 15 seconds. What is its acceleration if it
denpristay [2]

acceleration = \frac{velocity}{time}  = \frac{7.5}{15}  = 0.5ms^-^2

So the answer is option b.

Three cars with identical engines and tires start from rest, and accelerate at their maximum rate. Car X is the most massive, an
aksik [14]

Answer:C) car X

Explanation:

Given

All the cars have identical Engine thus Force Produced by car X will be equal to  Y and Z

and Force=mass\times acceleration

Since Car X is most massive so acceleration associated with it will be minimum

acceleration of car X is minimum thus it will travel farthest
