A 2300 kg sailboat is moving west at 5.5 m/s when an eastward wind

1 answer:

5 0

The boat is initially at equilibrium since it seems to start off at a constant speed of 5.5 m/s. If the wind applies a force of 950 N, then it is applying an acceleration a of

950 N = (2300 kg) a

a = (950 N) / (2300 kg)

a ≈ 0.413 m/s²

Take east to be positive and west to be negative, so that the boat has an initial velocity of -5.5 m/s. Then after 11.5 s, the boat will attain a velocity of

v = -5.5 m/s + a (11.5 s)

v = -0.75 m/s

which means the wind slows the boat down to a velocity of 0.75 m/s westward.

The spacing between the plates of a 1.0 μF capacitor is 0.050 mm. a) What is the surface area of the plates? b) How much charge

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

(a) surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(b) Charge on the capacitor is equal to $1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

We have given spacing between the plates d = 0.05 mm = $5\times 10^{-5}m$

Value of capacitance $C=1\mu F=10^{-6}F$

(A) Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is equal to $C=\frac{\epsilon _0A}{d}$

So $10^{-6}=\frac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times A}{10^{-5}}$

$A=1.129m^2$

So surface area of the plate will be equal to $1.129m^2$

(B) It is given that capacitor is charged by 1.5 volt

So voltage V = 1.5 volt

Charge on the capacitor is equal to $Q=CV$

So $Q=1.5\times 10^{-6}C$

____________occurs when an object travels in a curved path.

labwork [276]

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

can you mark me brainlies

So, if an object travels in a curved path, it changes velocity, and, thus, accelerates. This acceleration must be tied to a force. ... Therefore, whenever an object travels in a curved path, there must be an unbalanced force acting upon it. It is important to understand that all this may occur without a change in speed.t

The smallest unit of charge is − 1.6 × 10 − 19 C, which is the charge in coulombs of a single electron. Robert Millikan was able

vovangra [49]

Answer:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$

Explanation:

Charge of an Electron

Since Robert Millikan determined the charge of a single electron is

$q_e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C$

Every possible charged particle must have a charge that is an exact multiple of that elemental charge. For example, if a particle has 5 electrons in excess, thus its charge is $5\times -1.6\cdot 10^{-19}\ C=-8 \cdot 10^{-19}\ C$

Let's test the possible charges listed in the question:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ . We have just found it's a possible charge of a particle

$-3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ . Since 3.2 is an exact multiple of 1.6, this is also a possible charge of the oil droplets

$-1.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ this is not a possible charge for an oil droplet since it's smaller than the charge of the electron, the smallest unit of charge

$-5.6 \times 10 ^{-19 },\ -9.4 \times 10 ^{-19 }$ cannot be a possible charge for an oil droplet because they are not exact multiples of 1.6

Finally, the charge $-4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$ is four times the charge of the electron, so it is a possible value for the charge of an oil droplet

Summarizing, the following are the possible values for the charge of an oil droplet:

$-8.0 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C,\ -3.2 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C, -4.8 \times 10 ^{-19 }\ C$

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.

KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
