A flight attendant pushes a beverage car on an aircraft. Her mass is 75 kg and the cart’s mass is 27 kg. Calculate the accelerat

ion produced when the flight attendant exerts a backward force of 155 N on the floor. All forces opposing the motion, such as friction on the cart’s wheels and air resistance, total 18 N.

Answer:

a = 1.34 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

mass of the attendant(M) = 75 Kg

mass of cart (m)= 27 Kg

Backward force exerted on floor (F)= 155 N

frictional force on the cart (f)= 18 N

acceleration

$a = \dfrac{F_{net}}{M+m}$

F_{net} = F - frictional force

F_{net} = 155 N - 18 N

F_{net} = 137 N

now,

$a = \dfrac{137}{75 + 27}$

$a = \dfrac{137}{102}$

a = 1.34 m/s²

the acceleration produced when flight attendant is equal to a = 1.34 m/s²

Two parallel-plate capacitors have the same plate area. Capacitor 1 has a plate separation twice that of capacitor 2, and the qu

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

$V_1=8 V_2$

Explanation:

Given that:

Area of the plate of capacitor 1= Area of the plate of capacitor 2=A

separation distance of capacitor 2, $d_2=d$

separation distance of capacitor 1, $d_1=2d$

quantity of charge on capacitor 2, $Q_2=Q$

quantity of charge on capacitor 1, $Q_1=4Q$

We know that the Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the distance of separation.

Mathematically given as:

$C=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$ .....................................(1)

where:

k = relative permittivity of the dielectric material between the plates= 1 for air

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\times 10^{-12}\,F.m^{-1}$

From eq. (1)

For capacitor 2:

$C_2=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}$

For capacitor 1:

$C_1=\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}$

$C_1=\frac{1}{2} [ \frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}]$

We know, potential differences across a capacitor is given by:

$V=\frac{Q}{C}$ ..........................................(2)

where, Q = charge on the capacitor plates.

for capacitor 2:

$V_2=\frac{Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{d}}$

$V_2=\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

& for capacitor 1:

$V_1=\frac{4Q}{\frac{k.\epsilon_0.A}{2d}}$

$V_1=\frac{4Q\times 2d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}$

$V_1=8\times [\frac{Q.d}{k.\epsilon_0.A}]$

$V_1=8 V_2$

The time of motion of the track star is determined as 0.837 s.

<h3>Time of motion of the track star</h3>

The time of motion of the track star is calculated as follows;

T = (2u sinθ)/g

where;

T is time of motion
g is acceleration due to gravity
θ is angle of projection

T = (2 x 12 x sin20)/9.8

T = 0.837 s

Strontium−90 is one of the products of the fission of uranium−235. This strontium isotope is radioactive, with a half-life of 28

Ludmilka [50]

Answer : The time passed in years is 20.7 years.

Explanation :

Half-life = 28.1 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{28.1\text{ years}}$

$k=2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}$

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = $2.47\times 10^{-2}\text{ years}^{-1}$

t = time passed by the sample = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant = 1.00 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = 0.600 g

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$t=\frac{2.303}{2.47\times 10^{-2}}\log\frac{1.00}{0.600}$

$t=20.7\text{ years}$

Therefore, the time passed in years is 20.7 years.
