Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .

What charge accumulates on the plates of a 2.0-μF air-filled capacitor when it is charged until the potential difference across

enot [183]

Answer:

0.0002 C.

Explanation:

Charge: This can be defined as the ratio of current to time flowing in a circuit. The S.I unit of charge is Coulombs (C)

Mathematically, charge can be expressed as

Q = CV ................................. Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, C = capacitance of the capacitor, V = potential difference across the plates.

Given: C = 2.0-μF = 2×10⁻⁶ F, V = 100 V.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 2×10⁻⁶× 100

Q = 2×10⁻⁴ C

Q = 0.0002 C.

The amount of charge accumulated = 0.0002 C

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

$v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2$

$v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96$

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

At a local swimming pool, the diving board is elevated h = 5.5 m above the pool's surface and overhangs the pool edge by L = 2 m

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Part a)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

$L = 4.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

The height of the diving board is given as

$h = 5.5 m$

now the speed of the diver is given as

$v_0 = 2.7 m/s$

when the diver will jump into the water then his displacement in vertical direction is same as that of height of diving board

So we will have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$h = 0 + \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

Part b)

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}$

plug in the values in the above equation

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2(5.5 m)}{9.81}$

$t = 1.06 s$

Part c)

Horizontal distance moved by the diver is given as

$d = v_0 t$

$d = 2.7 \times 1.06$

$d = 2.86 m$

so the distance from the edge of the pool is given as

$L = 2.86 + 2$

$L = 4.86 m$

A person who climbs up something (e.g., a hill, a ladder, the stairs) from the ground gains potential energy. a person's weight

zhannawk [14.2K]

We are given the following values:

weight w = 240 lb = 1,067.52 N

energy E = 3,000 J

The formula for potential energy is:

E = w h

where h is the height the person has to climb, therefore:

h = 3000 / 1067.52

<span>h = 2.81 m</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>Therefore he has to climb 2.81 meters</span>

In a house the temperature at the surface of a window is 28.9 °C. The temperature outside at the window surface is 7.89 °C. Heat

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

-13.18°C

Explanation:

To develop the problem it is necessary to consider the concepts related to the thermal conduction rate.

Its definition is given by the function

$\frac{Q}{t} = \frac{kA\Delta T}{d}$

Where,

Q = The amount of heat transferred

t = time

k = Thermal conductivity constant

A = Cross-sectional area

$\Delta T =$ The difference in temperature between one side of the material and the other

d= thickness of the material

The problem says that there is a loss of heat twice that of the initial state, that is

$Q_2 = 2*Q_1$

Replacing,

$kA\frac{\Delta T_m}{x} = 2*kA\frac{\Delta T}{x}$

$\frac{\Delta T}{x}=2*\frac{\Delta T}{x}$

$\frac{T_i-T_o}{x} = 2\frac{T_1-T_2}{x}$

$\frac{28.9-T_o}{x} = 2\frac{28.9-7.86}{x}$

Solvinf for $T_o$ ,

$T_o = -13.18$

Therefore the temprature at the outside windows furface when the heat lost per second doubles is -13.18°C
