Answer:

a. The electric field lines are linear and perpendicular to the plates inside a parallel-plate capacitor, and always from positive plate to the negative plate. If a positive charge is released near the positive plate, then<em> it will follow a linear path towards the negative plate under the influence of electrostatic force, F = Eq</em>, where q is the charge of the particle. The electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor is constant and equal to

This can be calculated by Gauss' Law.

A positive charge always follow the electric field lines when released. Another approach is that the positive plate repels the positive charge and negative plate attracts the positive charge. Therefore, the positive charge follows a path towards the negative charge.

b. The particle moves from the higher potential to the lower potential. <em>The direction of motion is the same as the direction of the force that moves the particle, so the work done on the particle by that force is positive.</em>

MArishka [77]

Complete Question:

Suppose that an asteroid traveling straight toward the center of the earth were to collide with our planet at the equator and bury itself just below the surface. What would have to be the mass of this asteroid, in terms of the earth’s mass M, for the day to become 25.0% longer than it presently is as a result of the collision? Assume that the asteroid is very small compared to the earth and that the earth is uniform throughout.

Answer:

m = 0.001 M

If the cold temperature reservoir of a Carnot engine is held at a constant 306 K, what temperature should the hot reservoir be k
Paraphin [41]
Efficiency η of a Carnot engine is defined to be: 
<span>η = 1 - Tc / Th = (Th - Tc) / Th </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>Tc is the absolute temperature of the cold reservoir, and </span>
<span>Th is the absolute temperature of the hot reservoir. </span>

<span>In this case, given is η=22% and Th - Tc = 75K </span>
<span>Notice that although temperature difference is given in °C it has same numerical value in Kelvins because magnitude of the degree Celsius is exactly equal to that of the Kelvin (the difference between two scales is only in their starting points). </span>

<span>Th = (Th - Tc) / η </span>
<span>Th = 75 / 0.22 = 341 K (rounded to closest number) </span>
<span>Tc = Th - 75 = 266 K </span>

<span>Lower temperature is Tc = 266 K </span>
<span>Higher temperature is Th = 341 K</span>

A What CE describes the way energy is stored in a sandwich​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
What is Potential Energy? You probably already know that without eating, your body becomes weak from lack of energy. Take a few bites of a turkey sandwich, and moments later, you feel much better. That's because food molecules contain potential energy, or stored energy, that can do work in the future. Hope it helps

Recall that weight is a force and is equal to m*g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the Earth near the Eart
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

145.43 N

Explanation:

Weight is given by (mg)

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

mass is constant everywhere and is equal to 77.1 kg, both on the earth and on the moon.

But the acceleration due to gravity exerted by the moon near the moon's surface is 16.6% that of Earth,

g(moon) = 0.166 g(earth) = 0.166 × 9.8 = 1.6268 m/s²

Weight on the moon = mg(moon) = (77.1×1.6268) = 125.43 N

Two people are talking at a distance of 3.0 m from where you are and you measure the sound intensity as 1.1 × 10-7 W/m2. Another
ioda

Answer:

6.1875\times 10^{-8}

Explanation:

Assuming uniform spread of sound with no significant reflections or absorption. We know that sound intensity varies I=\frac {k}{r^{2}} where r is the distance

Since intensity is given then when at 3 m

1.1\times 10^{-7}= \frac {k}{3^{2}}

k=3^{2}\times 1.1\times 10^{-7}= 9.9\times 10^{-7}

Since we have the constant then at 4m

Intensity, I= \frac {9.9\times 10^{-7}}{4^{2}}=6.1875\times 10^{-8}
