Answer:

- 0.25m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 40m/s

Final velocity = 30m/s

Time taken = 40s

Unknown:

Acceleration of the car = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

So;

Acceleration = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time }$

Acceleration = $\frac{30 - 40}{40}$ = - 0.25m/s²

This implies that the car will decelerate at a rate of 0.25m/s²

The speed will be "18km/s". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

According to the question, the values are:

Wavelength,

$\lambda = 656.46 \ nm$

$\Delta \lambda = 0.04$

$c=3\times 10^8$

As we know,

⇒ $\frac{\Delta \lambda}{\lambda} =\frac{v}{c}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $\frac{656.46}{0.04} =\frac{v}{3\times 10^8}$

⇒ $v=\frac{656.46}{0.04} (3\times 10^8)$

⇒ $=16411.5\times 3\times 10^8$

⇒ $=18280 \ m/s$

or,

⇒ $=18 \ km/s$

A parallel-plate capacitor initially has a potential difference of 400 V and is then disconnected from the charging battery. If

Damm [24]

The capacitance of a capacitor is the ratio of the stored charge to its potential difference, i.e.

C = Q/ΔV

C is the capacitance

Q is the stored charge

ΔV is the potential difference

Rearrange the equation:

ΔV = Q/C

We also know the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C = κε₀A/d

C is the capacitance

κ is the capacitor's dielectric constant

ε₀ is the electric constant

A is the area of the plates

d is the plate separation

If we substitute C:

ΔV = Qd/(κε₀A)

We assume the stored charge and the area of the plates don't change. Then if we double the plate spacing, i.e. we double the value of d, then the potential difference ΔV is also doubled.

Consider the following list of numbers. 129, 685, 125, 511, 601, 52, 46 The height of a binary search tree is the maximum number

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The height of the tree is three (3) deep

Explanation:

It's 3 deep

Under 129, comes 125 and 685;

Under 125, comes 52 : Under 685, comes 511;

Under 52, comes 46 : Under 511, is 601.
