Two uncharged metal spheres, spaced 25.0 cm apart, have a capacitance of 26.0 pF. How much work would it take to move 12.0 nC of charge from one sphere to the other? Answer in Joules.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]W=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two spheres, r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

The capacitance, C = 26 pF = 26×10⁻¹² F

Charge, Q = 12 nC = 12 × 10⁻⁹ C

We need to find the work done in moving the charge. We know that, work done is given by :

[tex]U=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}[/tex]

Put all the values,

[tex]U=\dfrac{(12\times 10^{-9})^2}{2\times 26\times 10^{-12}}\\\\U=2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J[/tex]

So, the work done is [tex]2.76\times 10^{-6}\ J[/tex].

A man is going to rub the chalk off a blackboard, he is going to choose a way to rub off the chalk in two ways

Starting from the upper left corner of the board and moving horizontally to the right and moving slightly down and then again moving to the right and then when it reaches the left corner and so on

The second way is given in the following: He starts at the top and rubs down and then up again and so on.

He is going to choose the way that is less tiring in his arms. i.e., less work done by his muscles!

Somehow from vague intuitive notion I am inclined to agree that it would be less tiring to rub off the chalk if he moves the duster beginning at the top and rubbing horizontally and gradually decreasing the height when one reach the corners till everything is off.

I tried to calculate the muscle work by considering the following ideas(please correct me if I'm wrong):

The nerves inside our muscle has to fire its signal continuously throughout the entire interval of the process of rubbing and its has to oppose the gravitational force keeping the hand up the air.

When the hand is at the highest point on the blackboard, the muscle has to work against gravity =, as the muscle continues to work against gravity throughout the interval from left to right (the horizontal path of the first case) I couldn't find the total work withstood by our muscle.

Fiber optic (FO) cables are based upon the concept of total internal reflection (TIR), which is achieved when the FO core and cladding have the same refractive indices.

Normal conversation has a sound level of about 60 dB. How many times more intense must a 10,000-Hz sound be compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness

Answers

Answer: A 10,000-Hz sound is 10 times more intense as compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness.

Explanation:

The formula used is as follows.

[tex]\beta = 10 dB log (\frac{I}{I_{o}})\\60 = 10 dB log (\frac{I}{I_{o}})[/tex]

[tex]I_{o} = 10^{-12}[/tex] normal threshold

The difference is sound level is as follows.

60 - 60 = 0

Hence,

[tex]0 = 10 dB [log (\frac{I_{f}}{I_{o}}) - log (\frac{I_{i}}{I_{o}})]\\log (\frac{1000}{I_{o}}) = log (\frac{10000 x}{I_{o}})\\log (10^{15}) = log (10^{16}x)\\15 = 16 + log x\\log x = 1\\x = 10[/tex]

This means that 10,000 Hz sound is 10 times more intense.

Thus, we can conclude that a 10,000-Hz sound is 10 times more intense as compared to a 1000-Hz sound to be perceived as equal to 60 phons of loudness.

Answers

Answer: Mean weight = 2.81 N and  Measurement of uncertainty = 0.82 N

Explanation:

Mean =  [tex]\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{number of observations}}[/tex]

Mean weight is [tex]($\mu)=\frac{2.8+2.6+2.9+3.1+2.4+2.9+3.2+2.5+2.7+3.0}{10}[/tex]

1. A force that acts parallel to the surface.
2. A force that acts perpendicular to the surface.
3. A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value
4. Magnitude depends on the interacting materials
5. A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Answers

Answer:

Coefficient of friction =  Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Explanation:

Let's define all the forces, and then let's solve the problem.

Normal force:

When an object rests on some place (like a book on the table) the force that causes the book to not fall through the table is called the normal force, which is usually equal to the weight of the object and acts perpendicular to the surface where the object is resting.

Friction force.

When an object moves (or tries to move) parallel to a surface, such that the object is in contact with that surface, there appears a force that opposes to the movement (the force is parallel to the surface, and in the opposite direction to the movement).

And this force can be written as:

F = -N*μ

Where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force.

If the object is not moving yet (but there is applied a force that would move the object) the coefficient is called the coefficient of static friction which increases in a given range, until it can't keep increasing and the object starts to move, while if the object is moving, the coefficient is called the coefficient of kinetic friction and it is constant, where usually the first one is larger than the second, and these coefficients depend on both materials, the surface one and the object one.

Then we have two friction forces, one called the kinetic friction and the other called the static friction.

Then:

Coefficient of friction =  Magnitude depends on the interacting materials

Friction = A force that acts parallel to the surface.

kinetic friction = A force that is constant regardless of the applied force

Normal = A force that acts perpendicular to the surface

Static friction = A force that increases as applied force increases up to some maximum value

Falls often cause injuries, so one of the significant aspects of falls is the displacement and motion of a body. It is defined as how far a body moves vertically during the fall. Accordingly, there are three important factors that should be known to compute the kinetic energy (KE) of a falling body. These factors are:

Answers

Answer:

We need, mass, gravity and height.

Explanation:

When a body falls freely from a height, its initial velocity is zero, but due to the height it has some potential energy at the top and the kinetic energy is zero.

As it falls, the potential energy is gradually converted in to the kinetic energy so that the total energy of the falling body is conserved.

At the time as the body strikes the ground, the entire potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy.

Potential energy is given by

U = m g h

where, m is the mass, g is the gravity and h is the height,

So, to get the kinetic energy we require mass, gravity and height of the body.

Answers

Answer:

B. -20 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Initial velocity = 30 m/s

Acceleration = 5 m/s²

Deceleration = -5 m/s² (deceleration is the negative of acceleration)

Time = 10 seconds

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;

[tex] V = U + at[/tex]

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

[tex] V = 30 + (-5)*10[/tex]

[tex] V = 30 - 50[/tex]

Final velocity, V = -20 m/s

A major artery with a 1.3 cm^2 cross-sectional area branches into 18 smaller arteries, each with an average cross-sectional area of 0.6 cm^2. By what factor is the average velocity of the blood reduced when it passes into these branches?

Answers

Answer:

When the blood passes into the smaller branches, its average velocity reduces by a factor of 0.12

Explanation:

Given;

initial area of the artery, A₁ = 1.3 cm²

Area of each smaller 18 arteries, a₂ = 0.6 cm²

Total area of the smaller 18 arteries, A₂ = 18 x 0.6 cm²

Apply flow rate equation;

Q = AV

where;

Q is the flow rate of the blood

V is the average velocity of the blood

If the flow rate is constant, then;

A₁V₁ = A₂V₂

[tex]V_2 = \frac{A_1V_1}{A_2} = \frac{1.3\times V_1}{18\times 0.6} \\\\V_2 = 0.12 \ V_1[/tex]

When the blood passes into the smaller branches, its average velocity reduces by a factor of 0.12

Answers

1) (40 N) cos(30°) ≈ 34.6 N

2) (40 N) sin(30°) = 20 N

3) (65 kg) g = (65 kg) (9.80 m/s²) = 585 N

4) The net force on the sled acting in the vertical direction is made up of

• the sled's weight, 585 N, pointing downward

• the vertical component of the applied force, 20 N, pointing upward

• the normal force, with magnitude n, also pointing upward

The sled does not move up or down, so by Newton's second law,

F = n + 20 N - 585 N = 0   ==>   n = 565 N

5) The net force in the horizontal direction consists of

• the horizontal component of the applied force, 34.6 N, acting in the direction the sled's movement (call this the positive direction)

• kinetic friction, with magnitude f, pointing in the opposite and negative direction

By Newton's second law,

F = 34.6 N - f = 0   ==>   f ≈ 34.6 N

Now if µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction, then

f = µn   ==>   µ = f/n = (34.6 N) / (565 N) ≈ 0.0613

The component of the force is the effective part of that force in that direction.

What is the component of a force?

The component of the force is the effective part of that force in that direction.

1) The horizontal component of a force = 40 N cos 30 degrees = 34.6 N

2) The vertical component of the force = 40 N sin 30 degrees = 20 N

3) The magnitude of the gravitational force = mg cos 30 degrees  = 65 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * cos 30 degrees = 551.7 N

CHEGG A neutron star has a mass of 2.08 × 1030 kg (about the mass of our sun) and a radius of 6.73 × 103 m. Suppose an object falls from rest near the surface of such a star. How fast would it be moving after it had fallen a distance of 0.0093 m? (Assume that the gravitational force is constant over the distance of the fall, and that the star is not rotating.

Answers

Let g be the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the star. By Newton's second law, the gravitational force felt by the object has a magnitude of

F = GMm/r ² = mg

where

• G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² is the gravitational constant,

• M = 2.08 × 10³⁰ kg is the mass of the star,

• m is the unknown mass of the object, and

• r = 6.73 × 10³ m is the radius of the star

Solving for g gives

g = GM/r ²

g = (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²) (2.08 × 10³⁰ kg) / (6.73 × 10³ m)²

g ≈ 3.06 × 10¹² m/s²

The object is in free fall with uniform acceleration and starting from rest, so its speed after falling 0.0093 m is v such that

v ² = 2g (0.0093 m)

v = √(2g (0.0093 m))

v ≈ 240,000 m/s ≈ 240 km/s
