Answer:

The sun does not turn dark during a solar eclipse because during a solar eclipse the moon covers the sun.

A battery is used to charge a parallel-plate capacitor, after which it is disconnected. Then the plates are pulled apart to twic

Igoryamba

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

Select the statement that correctly lists the forces from strongest to weakest. (2 points)

Vilka [71]

Strong Nuclear force: it is the short range force and strongest fundamental force in all type of forces.

Electromagnetism: this is the force due to magnetic and electric behavior of the particles. It is moderate type of force and its range is more than Nuclear force.

Weak Nuclear Force: This force is also short range force which act between the nucleoside. But this force is also moderate type of force

Gravitational force: this force is between two point masses and least order of force. also the range of this force is upto infinite.

so the correct order of this fundamental force is

<em>strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, gravitational</em>

A 60 kg acrobat is in the middle of a 10 m long tightrope. The center of the rope dropped 30 cm in relation to the ends that are

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N

Explanation:

The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg

The length of the rope, l = 10 m

The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope

Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

∴ W = m × g

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N

The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;

θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, $\Sigma F_y$ = 0

The vertical component of the tension, $T_y$ , in each half of the rope is given as follows;

$T_y$ = T × sin(θ)

∴ $\Sigma F_y$ = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)

Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;

588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0

∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N

-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N

The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.
