A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.
1 answer:
Answer:
I. Speed = 20m/s
II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Distance = 40m
Time = 2secs
To find the speed;
Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;
Substituting into the equation, we have;
<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>
In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.
<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.

Explanation:
Let us assume that the separation of plate be equal to d and the area of plates is . As the capacitance of capacitor is given as follows.
C =
It is known that the dielectric strength of air is as follows.
E =
Expression for maximum potential difference is that the capacitor can with stand is as follows.
dV = E × d
And, maximum charge that can be placed on the capacitor is as follows.
