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.

Answer:

197.263157895 m/s

169.491525424 m/s

Explanation:

x Denotes position

t Denotes time

Average velocity is given by

$v_a=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\dfrac{1000-63}{4.75}\\\Rightarrow v_a=197.263157895\ m/s$

The average velocity is 197.263157895 m/s

$v_a=\dfrac{x_2-x_1}{t_2}\\\Rightarrow v_a=\dfrac{1000-0}{5.9}\\\Rightarrow v_a=169.491525424\ m/s$

The average velocity is 169.491525424 m/s

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply concept of impulse

Impulse = Force x time

= Force x 2 x 10⁻³ N.s

impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum

= .4 x 4 - ( - .4 x 2 )

= 2.4

Force x 2 x 10⁻³ = 2.4

Force = 2.4 / 2 x 10⁻³

= 1.2 x 10³ N .

average magnitude of the force exerted by floor = 1.2 x 10³ N

If R be reaction force by earth

R - mg = 1.2 x 10³

R = 1.2 x 10³ + mg

= 1200 + .4 x 9.8

= 1200 +3.92

= 1203 .92 N .

Why do scientists not use US customary units when reporting their data?

Marianna [84]

From britaññica it said time and money. They didn’t have either to switch over from the industrial period and never did. Also from my own person reasoning i think most of the world uses not US customary, so to make stuff more accessible. hope this helps!

A driver in a car traveling at a speed of 21.8m/s sees a cat 101 m away on the road. How long will it take for the car to accele

kobusy [5.1K]

The acceleration of the car will be needed in order to calculate the time. It is important to consider that the final speed is equal to zero:

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ad\ \to\ a = \frac{-v_0^2}{2d} = -\frac{21.8^2\ m^2/s^2}{2\cdot 99\ m} = -2.4\frac{m}{s^2}$

We can clear time in the speed equation:

$v = v_0 + at\ \to\ t = \frac{-v_0}{a} = \frac{-21.8\ m/s}{-2.4\ m/s^2} = \bf 9.08\ s$

If you find some mistake in my English, please tell me know.
