Answer: A capacitor.

Explanation:

The capacitor is a passive element that is used in electronics to store electrical energy maintaining an electrical field. The simpler case of a capacitor is the parallel plates capacitor.

It consists of two parallel metal plates separated by a distance D, in this case, the air between the plates works as a dielectric, as the plates do not touch each other and are separated by a dielectric, the charge is stored in the surface plates.

There are a lot of other types of capacitors, the most used in actuality may be the cylindrical one, where instead of parallel plates, it uses two concentric cylinders, and the space between the cylinders is filled with a dielectric/insulator.

A crate is given a big push, and after it is released, it slides up an inclined plane which makes an angle 0.52 radians with the
vovangra [49]

Answer:

a = 8.951 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

angle = 0.52 radians

μ_s = 0.84

μ_k = 0.48

acceleration = ?

using

F +  f = m a

mg sin θ +  μk mg cos θ = m a

a = g sin θ  + μk g cos θ

a = 9.8 x  sin 0.52 + 0.48 x 9.8 x  cos 0.52

a = 4.869 + 4.082

a = 8.951 m/s²

the magnitude of acceleration is a = 8.951 m/s²

True [87]

Answer: Student 2

Explanation: Iron nail and a paperclip are conductors because they are made of metal. A rock, rubber band, and wooden stick are insulators because they cannot conduct electricity.

swimmers at a water park have a choice of two frictionless water slides as shown in the figure. although both slides drop over t
LuckyWell [14K]
If swimmers had a choice of the water slides shown in this figure,
they would all go home dry, since there is no figure.  I'll have to try to
answer this question based on only the words in the text, augmented
only by my training, education, life experience, and human logic.

-- Both slides are frictionless.  So no energy is lost as a swimsuit
scrapes along the track, and the swimmer's kinetic energy at the
bottom is equal to the potential energy he had at the top.

-- Both slides start from the same height.  So the same swimmer
has the same potential energy at the top of either one, and therefore
the same kinetic energy at the bottom of either one.

-- So the difference in the speeds of two different swimmers
on the slides depends only on the difference in the swimmers'
mass, and is not influenced by the shape or length of the slides
(as long as the slides remain frictionless).

If both swimmers have the same mass, then  v₁ = v₂ .
