5. Graph A below plots a race car's speed for 5 seconds. The car's rate of acceleration is 6 m/s^2
1 answer:
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
We are to check if the statement is true of false. If it is false, we correct the statement.
Solution:
Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. It is the ratio of the change in velocity to the change in time. The acceleration can be gotten from a velocity time graph by finding the slope of the graph.
The x coordinate represent the time and the y coordinate velocity.
5) Graph A passes through the point (0, 0) and (4, 24). Therefore the acceleration (slope) is:
Acceleration =
This is correct.
6) Graph B is a straight line of 12 m/s. It passes through (0, 12) and (4, 12). Hence:
Acceleration =
This is false.
Therefore the acceleration of graph B is 0 m/s².

Answer:
The change in the charge on the positve plate when the Teflon is inserted is +2.5 nC.
Explanation:
- It can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, can be expresssed as follows:
- Where ε, is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between plates.
- When this space is filled with air, ε= ε₀ = 8,85*10⁻¹² F/m.
- At the same time, the capacitance of a capacitor, by definition, is as follows:
- If we insert a Teflon slab, in such a way that fills completely the gap between the plates, all other parameters being equal, if ε = 2*ε₀, this means that C₂ = 2* C₁. = 50 pF
- As V₂=V₁ (due to the capacitor remains connected to the same battery) the charge must be the double, so Q₂ = 2* Q₁ = 5 nC.
- So, the change in the charge of the positive plate is +2.5 nC.
