Answer:

53.1\mu C/m^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field,E=3\times 10^6V/m

We have to find the value of maximum charge density that can be placed on the surface of the plane before dielectric breakdown of the surrounding air occurs.

We know that

E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Where \epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Using the formula

3\times 10^6=\frac{\sigma}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}

\sigma=3\times 10^6\times 2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}

\sigma=5.31\times 10^{-5}C/m^2

\sigma=53.1\times 10^{-6}C/m^2=53.1\mu C/m^2

1\mu C=10^{-6} C

The reaction energy of a reaction is the amount of energy released by the reaction. It is found by determining the difference in
solmaris [256]

Answer: the correct answer is 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Explanation:

Use Energy Conservation. By ``alpha decay converts'', we mean that the parent particle turns into an alpha particle and daughter particles. Adding the mass of the alpha and daughter radon, we get

m = 4.00260 u + 222.01757 u = 226.02017 u .

The parent had a mass of 226.02540 u, so clearly some mass has gone somewhere. The amount of the missing mass is

Delta m = 226.02540 u - 226.02017 u = 0.00523 u ,

which is equivalent to an energy change of

Delta E = (0.00523 u)*(931.5MeV/1u)

Delta E = 4.87 MeV

Converting  4.87 MeV to Joules

1 joule [J] = 6241506363094 mega-electrón voltio [MeV]

4 mega-electrón voltio = 6.40870932 x 10^(-13) joule

4.87 mega-electrón voltio = 7.8026035971 x 10^(-13) joule

Suppose that a freely falling object were somehow equipped with an odometer. Would the readings of distance fallen each second i
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

1  greater distances fallen in successive seconds

Explanation:

When a body falls freely it is subjected to the action of the force of gravity, which gives an acceleration of 9.8 m / s2, consequently, we are in an accelerated movement

If we use the kinematic formula we can find the position of the body

       Y = Vo t + ½ to t2

Where the initial velocity is zero or constant and the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity

Y = - ½ g t2 = - ½ 9.8 t2 = -4.9 t2

Let's look for the position for successive times

t (s)      Y (m)

  1          -4.9

  2         -19.6

   3        -43.2

The sign indicates that the positive sense is up

It can be clearly seen that the distance is greatly increased every second that passes

What are some issues that governments must consider before passing conservation policies? Check all that apply.
Otrada [13]

Answer: cost to implement conservation policies

environmental implications

benefit versus the cost

Explanation:

The conservation policies involves certain instructions which are required to be followed by the human society at all levels so as to conserve resources and protect them for future. The following are the issues which government should be consider before passing the conservation policies this includes:

1. cost to implement conservation policies : The procedure and expenditure for the implementation of the policies should be under control of the desired budget so that the plan can be efficiently executed.

2.environmental implications : The government should be concerned about the implication of the policies on the environment. For example the preservation of an endangered species in control condition from an ecosystem can disturb the overall balance of an ecosystem.

3.benefit versus the cost: The government should concern before expending on the implementation of the policies the benefits and costs of the desired policies.

If points a and b are connected by a wire with negligible resistance, find the magnitude of the current in the 12.0 v battery.
Marizza181 [45]
V = I * R
Where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. Using Ohm's law, you require resistance to find the current through the wire. Technically, if the wire has a resistance of 0, you will get infinite current. But this isn't possible. Maybe the negligible resistance refers to the battery's internal resistance - not the wire's resistance.
