Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

Answer:

The charges on the plates,

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

Grace [21]

Answer:

Only the 4 th statement is true that is bed 1 and 3 are older than 4.

Explanation:

The 5 beds are numbered from 1 to 5 , 1 being the lowest and 5 being the topmost bed.

We are given 4 statements and we have to find out which all are true.

(a)Bed 4 is older than bed 2

This is wrong because the lower beds are older than beds that are higher.

(b)Bed 3 is older than beds 2 and 4

This is also wrong because the 2 is older than 3

(c)Bed 5 is the oldest

This is wrong because bed 1 is the oldest

(d)Beds 1 and 3 are older than 4

This is true as lower beds are older

An individual white LED (light-emitting diode) has an efficiency of 20% and uses 1.0 W of electric power. a. How many LEDs must

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

8, 8 W

Explanation:

The useful power of 1 Light Emitting Diode is

$0.2\times 1=0.2\ W$

Total power required is 1.6 W

Number of Light Emitting Diodes would be

$n=\dfrac{1.6}{0.2}\\\Rightarrow n=8$

The number of Light Emitting Diodes is 8.

Power would be

$P=8\times 1=8\ W$

The power that is required to run the Light Emitting Diodes is 8 W

A solid cylindrical bar conducts heat at a rate of 25 W from a hot to a cold reservoir under steady state conditions. If both th

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Using the new cylinder the heat rate between the reservoirs would be 50 W

Explanation:

Conduction could be described by the Law of Fourierin the form: $Q=kA\frac{T_1-T_2}{L}$ where $Q$ is the rate of heat transferred by conduction, $k$ is the thermal conductivity of the material, $T_1$ and $T_2$ are the temperatures of each heat deposit, $A$ is the cross area to the flow of heat, and ${L}$ is the distance that the flow of heat has to go.
For the original cylinder the Fourier's law would be: $kA_1\frac{T_1-T_2}{L_1}=25W$ , and if $A_1=\frac{\pi D_{1}^{2}}{4}$ , then the expression would be: $k\frac{\pi D_1^{2}}{4} \frac{T_1-T_2}{L_1}=25W$ where $D_1$ is the diameter of the original cylinder, and ${L_1}$ is the length of the original cylinder.
For the new cylinder, in the same fashion that for the first, Fourier's Law would be: $Q_2=k\frac{\pi D_2^2}{4}\frac{T_1-T_2}{L_2}$ ,where $Q_2$ is the heat rate in the second case, $D_2$ and ${L_2$ are the new diameter and length.
But, $D_2=2D_1$ and $L_2=2L_1$ , substituting in the expression for $Q_2$ : $Q_2=k\frac{\pi (2D_1)^2}{4}\frac{T_1-T_2}{2L_1}$ .
Rearranging: $Q_2=\frac{2^2}{2}(k\frac{\pi D_1^2}{4}\frac{T_1-T_2}{L_1})$ .
In the last declaration of $Q_2$ , it could be noted that the expressión inside the parenthesis is actually $Q_1$ , then: $Q_2=\frac{2^2}{2}(25W)=50W$ .
It should be noted, that the temperatures in the hot and cold reservoirs never change.
