if the pointy thingy in your compass is pointing north, that means it's being (pulled toward) something near Earth's north pole

Assume that charge −q−q-q is placed on the top plate, and +q+q+q is placed on the bottom plate. What is the magnitude of the ele
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Magnitude of electric field = E = q/Aε0

Explanation:

Consider plates are placed at a distance of d. As given in the question the charge stored on the plates have magnitude q and given by:

                                          q = CV

And  

                                          V = q/C    ……. (i)

The capacitance is given by the following equation:  

                                         C = Aε0/d ……. (ii)

Put equation (ii) in (i) ,

                                          V = qd/ Aε0 …..(iii)    

The electric field is defined as:  

                                            E = V/d   …… (iv)

Put equation (iii) in (iv),

                                            E = qd/ Aε0d

                                            E = q/Aε0

Hence, the magnitude of electric field will be q/Aε0 .

How does an airplane engine work?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Un motor aeronáutico o motor de aviación es aquel que se utiliza para la propulsión de aeronaves mediante la generación de una fuerza de arrastre.

Existen distintos tipos de motores de aviación, aunque se dividen en dos clases básicas: motores recíprocos —o de pistón— y de turbina de gas. Recientemente y gracias al desarrollo de la NASA y otras entidades, se ha comenzado también la producción de motores eléctricos para aeronaves que funcionen con energía solar fotovoltaica.

eso depende de el motor que cada avion tenga

Firemen are shooting a stream of water at a burning building using a high-pressure hose that shoots out the water with a speed o
Mrac [35]

Answer:

a)α= 53.13°

b)The velocity at the highest point =  15 m/s

The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8m/s^2

c)h=15 m

V=18.02 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of water ,u= 25 m/s

So the horizontal component of speed u = u cos α

Given that horizontal distance cover by water in 3 s is 45 m.

So We know that in projectile motion horizontal acceleration is zero.

In horizontal direction

Distance = Velocity x time

45 =  u cos α  x 3

u cos α = 45

45 = 25 cos α x 3

 cos α = 45/75

α= 53.13°

So the velocity at the highest point =  u cos α

The velocity at the highest point =  15 m/s

The acceleration at the highest point = 9.8m/s^2

 Now the velocity along vertical direction(Vo) =  u sin α

      Vo= 25 sin 53.13°

Vo =20 m/s

h=V_o.t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

h=20\times 3-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 3^2

h=15 m

So at 15 m above the ground water will strike .

The y-component of velocity after 3 sec

Vy= Vo - g t

Vy = 20 - 10 x 3

Vy= -10 m/s

The horizontal component of velocity will remain 15 m/s.

The resultant velocity

V=\sqrt{10^2+15^2}\ m/s

V=18.02 m/s
