Answer:

e). The ratio is not given

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance of a capacitor</u>

The expression for the capacitance of a capacitor with di electric material is given as

C=KεA/d

where

ε=permittivity of di electric

C= capacitance in farads

A= Area of plate

d= separating distance

K= dielectric constant

let the distance in capacitor B be 1mm

therefore the distance in A is 0.5mm

For the first (A) capacitor

C1=8εA/0.5

C1=16εA

For the Second (B) capacitor

C2=8εA/1

C2=8εA

the ratio of the capacitance of A to B

=C1/C2

=16εA/8εA

=2/1

=2

Answer:

72.53 mi/hr

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Vertical distance i.e Height (h) = 8.26 m

Horizontal distance (s) = 42.1 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the car to get to the ground.

This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 8.26 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

8.26 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

8.26 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 8.26 / 4.9

Take the square root of both side by

t = √(8.26 / 4.9)

t = 1.3 s

Next, we shall determine the horizontal velocity of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal distance (s) = 42.1 m

Time (t) = 1.3 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

42.1 = u × 1.3

Divide both side by 1.3

u = 42.1 / 1.3

u = 32.38 m/s

Finally, we shall convert 32.38 m/s to miles per hour (mi/hr). This can be obtained as follow:

1 m/s = 2.24 mi/hr

Therefore,

32.38 m/s = 32.38 m/s × 2.24 mi/hr / 1 m/s

32.38 m/s = 72.53 mi/hr

Thus, the car was moving at a speed of

72.53 mi/hr.

What is necessary for differentiation to occur in a planet?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer: A difference in properties between two interacting systems as explained below.

Explanation: Planetary differentiation is the process of separation of different parts of a planetary body as a result of their physical or chemical behavior.

Causes for Physical Differentiation:

1. Melting and crystallization of source rock.

2. Differences in densities

3. Thermal diffusion

4. Collision of large bodies

Chemical Differentiation accounts for differences in chemical compositions of different materials.

The differentiation, or organization, of the Earth into layers led to the formation of a core, a crust, and eventually continents. The light elements were driven from the interior to form an ocean and atmosphere.

while racing on a flat track, a car rounds a curve of 28m radius and instantaneously experiences a centripetal acceleration of 1
liubo4ka [24]
When a body strictly moves on a curve, it's velocity at a point is tangential to the curve at that point.

Centripetal acceleration is the acceleration that a body experiences by the virtue of change in it's tangential velocity. It is directed towards the centre and mathematically is v^2/R where v is the speed at the instant.

So, 18 = v^2/R
v^2 = 504
v = 6√14
