6 0

Explanation:

Nope, displacement is a vector quantity, whereas distance is the scalar (magnitude) of the total displacement.

Hope this clears things up :))

A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge.   The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where  σ is charge density of surface and  ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

With your hand parallel to the floor and your palm upright, you lower a 3-kg book downward. If the force exerted on the book by
lara31 [8.8K]

According to the net force, the acceleration of the book is 16.47 m/s².

We need to know about force to solve this problem. According to second Newton's Law, the force applied to an object will be proportional to mass and acceleration. Hence, it can be written as

∑F = m . a

where F is force, m is mass and a is acceleration

From the question above, we know that

m = 3 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

F1 = 20 N

Find the net force

∑F = F1 + W

∑F = 20 + m . g

∑F = 20 + 3 . 9.8

∑F = 20 + 29.4

∑F = 49.4 N

Find the acceleration

∑F = m . a

49.4 = 3 . a

a = 16.47 m/s²

ENERGY SAVERS RACE, BRAIN BURNER. This question is about solar cars at the Chuck Norris Institute of Technology, CNIT, in Ocala,
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) d = 6.0 m

Explanation:

Since car is accelerating at uniform rate then here we can say that the distance moved by the car with uniform acceleration is given as

d = \frac{(v_f + v_i)}{2} \times t

here we know that

v_f = 10 m/s

v_i = 0

t = 1.2 s

now we will have

d = \frac{(10 + 0)}{2}\times 1.2

d = 5 \times 1.2

d = 6.0 m

What disadvantage of convex mirror​
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The disadvantage is that convex mirror is that they make it appear like those objects are at a more noteworthy distance than they actually are. It always gives a virtual, erect and a diminished image.

Describe how a wind turbine generates energy.
Artyom0805 [142]
The wind Wind turbines work on a simple principle: instead of using electricity to make wind—like a fan—wind turbines use wind to make electricity. Wind turns the propeller-like blades of a turbine around a rotor, which spins a generator, which creates electricity.
