Answer:

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Distance between keisha and her friend 8.3 m

angle made by keisha toside building 30 degree

height of her friend monique is 1.5 m

from the figure

$\Delta ACB$

$tan 30 = \frac{8.3}{h}$

$h= \frac{8.3}{tan 30} = 14.376 m$

therefore

height of keisha is $= h + 1.5 m$

= 14.376 + 1.5

$= 15.876 \simeq 16 m$

therefore option c is correct

You knew that this question is ridiculously easy. So, just to
make it harder, you decided not to let us see the picture, so
that we could not "examine the circuit".

The description is talking about a parallel circuit. The other
kind is a series circuit, and that one has no forks in the road.

a student wants to push a box of books with the mass of 50 kg in 3 m horizontally towards the location of the shelves where the

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The work done is 360 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 50 kg

Distance =3 m

We need to calculate the work done

The work done is equal to the product of force and displacement.

Using formula of work done

$W = F\cdot d$

$W = Fd\cos\theta$

Where, F = force

D = distance

θ = Angle between force and displacement

Put the value into the formula

$W=120\times3\cos0^{\circ}$

$W=360\ J$

Hence, The work done is 360 J.

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

$E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$

Now, plug in $47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2$ for 'σ' and $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$ for $\epsilon_0$ and solve for the electric field. This gives,

$E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C$

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C

Calculate the mass of the air contained in a room that measures 2.50 m x 5.50 m x 3.00 m if the density of air is 1.29 g/dm3.53.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$5.32\cdot 10^4 g$

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the room, which is given by

$V=2.50 m \cdot 5.50 m \cdot 3.00 m =41.3 m^3$

Now we can find the mass of the air by using

$m=dV$

where

$d=1.29 g/dm^3$ is the density of the air

$V=41.3 m^3 = 41,300 dm^3$ is the volume of the room

Substituting,

$m=(1.29)(41300)=5.32\cdot 10^4 g$
