Answer:
a. Electric field strength is 1.6*10^6 V/m = 1.6 Megavolt/meter
b. speed of an electron is 5.2*10^14m/s
Explanation:
The electric field strength is given by:
E = ΔV/d
E = electric field strength,
ΔV = potential difference,
d = plate spacin
ΔV = 21×10^3V, d = 1.3×10^-2m
a) E = V / d = (21*10^3)/(1.3×10^-2) = 1.6*10^6 V/m = 1.6 Megavolt/meter
b) Exit energy = V . e
Where 'e' is the charge of electron (1.6 * 10^(-19)
Exit energy = (21*10^3)*(1.6*10^-19) = 3.36*10−15
From the above, speed v = √2*Exit Energy/mass
Where 'm' is the mass of electron (9.1 * 10^(-31)
v = √2*energy/mass
v = √2*(3.36*10^-15)/(9.1*10^-31) = 5.2*10^14m/s
At last year's Homecoming Pep Rally, Trudy U. Skool (attempting to generate a little excitement) slid down a 42.0 degree incline from the sports dome to the courtyard below. The coefficient of friction between Trudy's jeans and the incline was 0.650. Determine Trudy's acceleration along the incline.
Answer:
a = - 1.8 m / s²
Explanation:
To solve this exercise let's use Newton's second law, let's start by defining a reference system with the x axis parallel to the plane, in the adjoint we can see a diagram of the forces
let's break down the weight
sin 42 = Wₓ / W
cos 42 = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin 42
W_y = W cos 42
Y axis
N- W_y = 0
N = W_y
N = mg cos 42
X axis
fr -Wₓ = m a
a = (fr - mg sin 42) / m
the friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
fr = μ mg cos 42
we substitute
a = (μ g cos 42– g sin 42)
a = g (μ cos 42 - sin 42)
let's calculate
a = 9.8 (0.650 cos 42 - sin 42)
a = - 1.8 m / s²
The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is downward, so the boy is descending.
Electric power is to be generated by installing a hydraulic turbine-generator at a site 120 m below the free surface of a large water reservoir that can supply water at a rate of 2300 kg/s steadily. Determine the power generation potential.
Answer:
the power generation potential is 2.705 x 10⁶ J/s.
Explanation:
Given;
height below the free surface of a large water reservoir, h = 120 m
mass flow rate of the water, m' = 2300 kg/s
The power generation potential is calculated as;
[tex]Power = \frac{Energy}{time} = \frac{F\times h}{t} = \frac{(mg) \times h}{t} = \frac{m}{t}\times gh = m' \times gh\\\\Power = m' \times gh\\\\Power = 2300 \ kg/s \ \times \ 9.8 \ m/s^2 \ \times \ 120 \ m\\\\Power = 2.705 \times 10^6 \ J/s[/tex]
Therefore, the power generation potential is 2.705 x 10⁶ J/s.
A house that was heated by electric resistance heaters consumed 1200 kWh of electric energy in a winter month. If this house were heated instead by a heat pump that has an average COP of 2.4, determine how much money the homeowner would have saved that month. Assume a price of $0.12/kWh for electricity.
Answer:
$84
Explanation:
The coefficient of performance (COP) show the relationship between the power (kW) output of the heat pump and the power (kW) input to the compressor.
The heater consumed by the heater is 1200 kWh.
For a heat pump with a COP of 2.4, the electric input needed to produce an output of 1200 kWh is:
Electric input to heat pump = 1200 / 2.4 = 500 kWh
That means that supplying a heat pump with 500 kWh produces an output of 1200 kWh
The amount of power saved = power consumed by heater - power consumed by heat pump = 1200 - 500 = 700 kWh
Money saved = $0.12/kWh * 700 kWh = $84
The amount of money the homeowner would have saved during the month is $84.
Given the following data:
Energy output = 1200 kWhCoefficient of performance (COP) = 2.4Cost of electricity = $0.12To determine the amount of money the homeowner would have saved during the month:
In Science, the coefficient of performance (COP) is a mathematical expression that is typically used to show the relationship between the power output (kilowatts) of a heater and the power input (kilowatts) to the compressor.
Mathematically, the coefficient of performance (COP) is given by the formula:
[tex]COP = \frac{E_o}{E_i}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]E_i[/tex] is the energy input.[tex]E_o[/tex] is the energy output.First of all, we would determine the energy input of the heaters.
[tex]E_i = \frac{E_o}{COP} \\\\E_i=\frac{1200}{2.4}[/tex]
Energy input = 500 kWh
For power saved:
[tex]Power = 1200 -500[/tex]
Power = 700 kWh
For the amount of money saved while using these heaters:
[tex]Money = 0.12 \times 700[/tex]
Amount of money = $84

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by various atmospheric processes, including lightning. If research came out on Planet x in a distant solar system that had a electric field with strength 222 N/C and 0.6 the radius of the earth, what would be the excess charge on planet x
Answer:
q = 3.6 10⁵ C
Explanation:
To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth
r = 6 , 37 106 m
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
q = [tex]\frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}[/tex]
q = 4.5 10⁵ C
Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius
r = 0.6 r_ Earth
r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m
E = k q / r²
q = E r² / k
q = [tex]\frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}[/tex]
q = 3.6 10⁵ C

Conduction: This is the transfer of heat through a material by direct contact between molecules. In this mode, heat flows from hotter to colder regions within the material until the temperature is equalized.
Convection: This is the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) by the movement of the fluid itself. This mode of heat transfer can occur by natural convection (due to density differences in the fluid) or forced convection (due to an external source such as a fan).
Radiation: This is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, without the need for a medium to transfer the heat. All objects emit and absorb radiation, and the amount of radiation emitted depends on the temperature of the object. This mode of heat transfer is important for heating and cooling applications, such as radiators or refrigerators.

Explanation:
The star Rho1Rho1 Cancri is 57 light-years from the earth and has a mass 0.85 times that of our sun. A planet has been detected in a circular orbit around Rho1Rho1 Cancri with an orbital radius equal to 0.11 times the radius of the earth's orbit around the sun. What are (a)the orbital speed and (b)the orbital period of the planet of Rho1Rho1 Cancri
Answer:
8.27 * 10^4 m/s ; 14.51 days
Explanation:
Mass of star, Ms = 0.85 mass of earth
Radius of star, Rs = 0.11 radius of earth
Mass of earth = 1.99 * 10^30 kg
Radius of earth round the sun = 1.5 * 10^11 m
Ms = 0.85 * 1.99 * 10^30 = 1.6915 * 10^30 kg
Rs = 0.11 * 1.5 * 10^11 = 0.165 * 10^11 m
1.) The Orbital speed, v
V = sqrt(Gm/r) ; G = 6.67 * 10^11
V = sqrt(6.67 * 10^-11 * 1.6915 * 10^30) / 0.165 * 10^11
V = sqrt(11.282 * 10^19 / 0.165 * 10^11)
V = sqrt(68.377606 * 10^8)
V = 82690.752
V = 8.27 * 10^4 m/s
2.)
T = 2πr / v
(2π * 0.165 * 10^11) /8.27 * 10^4
1.03672 * 10^11 / 8.27 * 10^4
1253598.0 s
Converting seconds to days:
1 sec = 1/ (60 * 60 * 24) = 1/86400 days
Hence,
1253598.0 * (1/86400)
= 14.509236 days

Consider a 150-W incandescent lamp. The filament of the lamp is 5 cm long and has a diameter of 0.5 mm. The diameter of the glass bulb of the lamp is 8 cm. Determine the heat flux in W/m2 on: (a) on the surface of the filament (b) on the surface of the glass bulb (use the assumption that the surface of the bulb can be approximated as a sphere with a diameter of 8 cm), and (c) calculate how much it will cost per year to keep that lamp on for eight hours a day every day if the unit cost of electricity is $0.08/kW
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The heat flux or heat intensity is the flow of energy per unit area per unit time. measured in watts per meter² (W/m²).
a) The surface area of filament = πDL
D = diameter = 0.5 mm = 5 * 10⁻⁴ m, L = length = 5 cm = 5*10⁻² m
surface area of filament = π* 5 * 10⁻⁴ m * 5*10⁻² m = 25π * 10⁻⁶ m²
The heat flux on the surface of filament = 150 W / (25π * 10⁻⁶ m²) = 1.91 * 10⁶ W/m²
b) Since the glass tube is a sphere with diameter = 8 cm;
radius (r) = diameter / 2 = 4 cm = 4* 10⁻² m
Surface area of glass tube = 4πr² = 4π * (4* 10⁻²)² = 64π* 10⁻⁴ m²
The heat flux on the surface of filament = 150 W / (64π* 10⁻⁴ m²) = 7.46 * 10³ W/m²
c) The total energy consumed in a year = 150 W * 365 days * 8 hours/day = 438000 Wh = 438 kWh
Cost of energy = unit cost * energy consumed = $0.08/kW * 438 kWh = $35.04

A bartender slides a beer mug at 1.3 m/s towards a customer at the end of a frictionless bar that is 1.3 m tall. The customer makes a grab for the mug and misses, and the mug sails off the end of the bar. (a) How far away from the end of the bar does the mug hit the floor
Answer:
x = 0.67 m
Explanation:
For this problem, let's use the projectile launch equations, as the jug goes through the bar, it comes out with horizontal speed vx = 1.3 m / s, which does not decrease as there is no friction.
Let's find the time or it takes to get to the floor
y = y₀ + v_{oy} - ½ g t²
in this case I go = 0 and when I get to the floor y = 0
0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²
t² = 2y₀ / g
t² = 2 1.3 / 9.8 = 0.2653
t = 0.515 s
now let's find the distance traveled in this time
x = vx t
x = 1.3 0.515
x = 0.6696 m
x = 0.67 m

so let distance between the dipoles be d
∴ P = d[tex]\Theta[/tex]
Let [tex]\Theta_{1}[/tex] = 1 nC
so
P = d[tex]\Theta[/tex]
1 × 10⁻⁹ = 1 × 10⁻⁹ × d
d = (1 × 10⁻⁹) / (1 × 10⁻⁹)
d = 1 m
Also Let [tex]\Theta_{2}[/tex] = 2 nC
so
P = d[tex]\Theta[/tex]
1 × 10⁻⁹ = 2 × 10⁻⁹ × d
d = (1 × 10⁻⁹) / (2 × 10⁻⁹)
d = 0.5 m
Also Let [tex]\Theta_{3}[/tex] = 3 nC
so
P = d[tex]\Theta[/tex]
1 × 10⁻⁹ = 3 × 10⁻⁹ × d
d = (1 × 10⁻⁹) / (3 × 10⁻⁹)
d = 0.33 m
such that;

When a point charge of q is placed on one corner of a square, an electric field strength of 2 N/C is observed at the center of the square. Suppose three identical charges of q are placed on the remaining three corners of the square. What is the magnitude of the net electric field at the center of the square
Answer:
Explanation:
Net electric field at the centre will be zero .
Since all the charges are equal and they all are symmetrically situated around the centre . So the electric field produced by each will cancel out each other and hence the resultant electric field will be zero . It happens because electric field is a vector quantity and therefore it adds up vectorially . All the four electric field will form two pairs , in each pair electric fields are acting in opposite direction . So they all cancel out to zero .
Determine the gravitational potential energy, in kJ, of 1 m3 of liquid water at an elevation of 30 m above the surface of Earth. The acceleration of gravity is constant at 9.7 m/s2 and the density of the water is uniform at 1000 kg/m3. Determine the change in gravitational potential energy if the elevation decreases by 10 m.
Answer:
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy = mgh where m is mass , g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height from the ground .
In the first case mass m = volume x density
= 1 x 1000 = 1000 kg
height h = 30 m
potential energy = 1000 x 30 x 9.8 = 294000 J = 294 kJ .
When height decreases by 10 m , potential decreases as follows .
Decrease in potential energy
= mass x gravitational energy x decrease in height
= 1000 x 9.8 x 10
= 98000 J
= 98 kJ .
A race driver has made a pit stop to refuel. After refueling, he starts from rest and leaves the pit area with an acceleration whose magnitude is 7.0 m/s2; after 3.8 s he enters the main speedway. At the same instant, another car on the speedway and traveling at a constant velocity of 73.3 m/s overtakes and passes the entering car. The entering car maintains its acceleration. How much time is required for the entering car to catch up with the other car
Answer:
t = 13.3 s
Explanation:
The distance traveled by both cars once they are in the main speedway, assuming that the acceleration of the refueling car is constant, is given by the following kinematic equation:[tex]x = v_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2} * a * t^{2} (1)[/tex]
The refueling car (which we will call car 1) in the moment that enters to the main speedway, has achieved a speed that can be found from the definition of acceleration, rearranging terms, as follows:[tex]v_{f1} = a* t = 7.0m/s2*3.8s = 26.6 m/s (2)[/tex]
So, since vf1 = v₀ in (1), we get:[tex]x_{1} = v_{f1}*t + \frac{1}{2} * a * t^{2} (3)[/tex]
Now, for the other car (which we will call car 2), due to is moving at a constant speed, a=0, so we can write the following equation for x₂:[tex]x_{2} = v_{f2}*t = 73.3m/s*t (4)[/tex]
When the entering car catches up the other car, both distances will be equal each other, so x₁ = x₂, as follows:[tex]26.6m/s*t + \frac{1}{2} * 7.0m/s2* t^{2} = 73.3m/s*t[/tex] Rearranging, simplifying and solving for t:[tex]t =\frac{2*(73.3m/s-26.6m/s}{7.0m/s2} = 13.3 s (5)[/tex]A projectile is fired directly upwards at 49.4 m/s. A second projectile is dropped from rest at some higher elevation at the instant the first projectile is fired and passes the first projectile 3.00 s later. From the frame of reference of the first projectile, what is the velocity of the second projectile as it passes by
Answer:
Explanation:
velocity of first projectile after 3 s
v = u - gt
v = 49.4 - 9.8 x 3
= 20 m /s
Velocity of second projectile after 3 s after being dropped from rest
v = u + gt
= 0 + 9.8 x 3
= 29.4 m /s
They will be moving in opposite direction at the time of meeting , so their relative velocity
= 20 + 29.4 = 49.4 m /s
From the frame of reference of the first projectile, the velocity of the second projectile will be 49.4 m /s .
