Mrs. Mechinus wants to determine which type of ball has the highest bounce. She drops a tennis ball, soccer ball, then a basketball from a height of 15 feet, and measures & records how high each bounces back up. Identify the dependent and independent variables in this experiment. Use supporting details to explain why they are those variables.

A6.0-μf air-filled capacitor is connected across a 100-v voltage source. after the source fully charges the capacitor, the capacitor is immersed in transformer oil (of dielectric constant 4.5). how much additional charge flows from the voltage source, which remained connected during the process?

Adielectric-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plate area a = 30.0 cm2 , plate separation d = 9.00 mm and dielectric constant k = 3.00. the capacitor is connected to a battery that creates a constant voltage v = 15.0 v . throughout the problem, use ϵ0 = 8.85x10-12 c2/n. m2 . find the energy u1 of the dielectric-filled capacitor.

Conventional hot-water heaters consist of a tank of water maintained at a fixed temperature. the hot water is to be used when needed. the drawback is that energy is wasted because the tank loses heat when it is not in use, and you can run out of hot water if you use too much. some utility companies are encouraging the use of on-demand water heaters (also known as flash heaters), which consist of heating units to heat the water as you use it. no water tank is involved, so no heat is wasted. a typical household shower flow rate is 2.50 gal/min (9.46 l/min ) with the tap water being heated from 51.0 ˚f (10.6 ˚c) to 120 ˚f (48.9 ˚c) by the on-demand heater. what rate of heat input (either electrical of from gas) is required to operate such a unit, assuming that all the heat goes into the water?
