The 3 cm vector represents 63 km.

Since a 1 cm long vector represents a displacement of 21 km, we need to find the number of kilometers a 3 cm vector represents.

Let x represent the displacement the 3 cm vector represents.

By ratio, we have 1 cm: 21 km = 3 cm : x

So, 1 cm/21 km = 3 cm/x

Cross-multiplying, we have

x × 1 cm = 3 cm × 21 km

x = 3 cm × 21 km/1 cm

x = 63 km

So, the 3 cm vector represents a displacement of 63 km.

Each plate of a parallel‑plate capacitor is a square of side 3.63 cm, and the plates are separated by 0.473 mm. The capacitor is
NARA [144]

Answer:

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

Explanation:

Given that

a=  3.63 cm

Area ,A= a²

distance ,d= 0.473 mm

Stored energy ,U = 8.49 nJ

Value of capacitor given as

C=\dfrac{\varepsilon _oA}{d}

By putting the values

C=\dfrac{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 3.63^2\times 10^{-4}}{0.473\times 10^{-3}}

C=2.46 x 10⁻¹¹ F

U=\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

V=Voltage difference

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2U}{C}}

V=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 8.49\times 10^{-9}}{2.46\times 10^{-11}}}

V=26.27 V

V= E d

E=Electric filed

26.27 = E x 0.473 x 10⁻³

E= 55.53 x 10³ V/m

Explain how electricity can be conducted by acids ad=nd bases
dimulka [17.4K]
<span>So are strong bases. The reason acids and bases conduct electricity is that when they are mixed with water, they "separate" into ions. And the ions are charge carriers. These charge carriers can be made to carry a charge (which is why that description fits them).</span>
