(Use the Pythagorean theorem to answer the question.) An airplane takes off going straight west at 340 km/h for 1 hour, then tur

ns and heads south for another hour at 360 km/h before reaching its final destination. What is the airplane's displacement?

South is perpendicular to West, so the plane's route forms a right triangle, and you can use Good Old Pythagoras to calculate the length of the hypotenuse.

The length of the displacement is   √(the west piece² + the south piece²)   .

That's      √ [ (340km)² + (360km)² ]

           =  √ [ (115,600) km²  +  (129,600) km² ]

           =   √ 245,200 km²

           =     495 km 

To be technical, Displacement is a vector, so we would need to
calculate its direction too.

Naturally, the plane winds up roughly southwest of where it took off.

You'd want to find the angle whose tangent is  (360/340) = about 1.059 .
The direction of the Displacement is that angle south of west. (about 46.6 degrees)

A parallel-plate capacitor consists of plates of area 1.5 x 10^-4 m^2 separated by 2.0 mm The capacitor is connected to a 12-V b
Katen [24]

Answer:

4.78 x 10^-11 J

Explanation:

A = 1.5 x 10^-4 m^2

d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

V = 12 V

Let C be the capacitance of the capacitor

C = ε0 A / d

C = (8.854 x 10^-12 x 1.5 x 10^-4) / (2 x 10^-3)

C = 6.64 x 10^-13 F

Energy stored, U = 1/2 CV^2

U = 0.5 x 6.64 x 10^-13 x 12 x 12

U = 4.78 x 10^-11 J
