A bug zapper consists of two metal plates connected to a high-voltage power supply. The voltage between the plates is set to giv

e an electric field slightly less than 1×10⁶ V/m . When a bug flies between the two plates, it increases the field enough to initiate a spark that incinerates the bug.
If a bug zapper has a 7000 V power supply, what is the approximate separation between the plates?
(a) 7×10⁻² cm
(b) 0.7 cm
(c) 7 cm
(d) 70 cm

Answer:

(b) 0.7 cm

Explanation:

E = Electric field = $1\times 10^6\ V/m$

V = Voltage = 7000 V

d = Seperation between the plates

Electric field is given by

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

$\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{7000}{1\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow d=0.007\ m=0.7\ cm$

The approximate separation between the plates is 0.7 cm

What is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? what is the relationship between area, force, and pressure? pressure

White raven [17]

Mathematically, relation between force, area and pressure is given by...
Pressure = force / area

hence, pressure is directly proportional to force but inversely proportional to area.

Anna drew a diagram to compare the strong and weak force. Which labels belong in the areas marked X, Y, and Z? X: infinite range

Maslowich

Answer:

For areas marked X, Y, Z, X is attractive only, Y has a very small range, and Z is attractive and repulsive

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

From the question stated, Anna drew a diagram to compare forces that are strong and weak.

Now,

We are to find which labels are grouped in areas marked as X, Y, Z respectively.

Thus,

For X, Y, Z it is marked as:

X: Always attractive or attractive only

Y: Very small range

Z: Repulsive and attractive

microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 6.3 rev/min. what is this in revolutions per second? (you do not need to enter any uni

levacccp [35]

The microwave ovens rotate at a rate of about 0.105 rev/s.

The microwave rotation is the number of revolutions in a unit of time. To change the unit for angular velocity, assume that the quantity is multiplied by the unit it has. Then change to the desired units. The angular velocity is denoted by ω and has a magnitude of 6.3 rev/min.

ω = 6.3 rev/min

$\omega = 6.3 \times \frac{1 \: rev}{1 \: min}$

1 minute = 60 seconds
The revolution unit didn't change

$\omega = 6.3 \times \frac{1 \: rev}{60 \: seconds}$

$\omega = \frac{6.3 \: rev}{60 \: seconds}$

ω = 0.105 rev/s

A mass weighing 24 pounds, attached to the end of a spring, stretches it 4 inches. Initially, the mass is released from rest fro

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The equation of motion is $x(t)=-$ $\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}$

Explanation:

Lets calculate

The weight attached to the spring is 24 pounds

Acceleration due to gravity is $32ft/s^2$

Assume x , is spring stretched length is ,4 inches

Converting the length inches into feet $x=\frac{4}{12} =\frac{1}{3}feet$

The weight (W=mg) is balanced by restoring force ks at equilibrium position

mg=kx

$W=kx$ ⇒ $k=\frac{W}{x}$

The spring constant , $k=\frac{24}{1/3}$

= 72

If the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position by an amount x, then the differential equation is

$m\frac{d^2x}{dt} +kx=0$

$\frac{3}{4} \frac{d^2x}{dt} +72x=0$

$\frac{d^2x}{dt} +96x=0$

Auxiliary equation is, $m^2+96=0$

$m=\sqrt{-96}$

= $\frac{+}{} i4\sqrt{6}$

Thus , the solution is $x(t)=c_1cos4\sqrt{6t}+c_2sin4\sqrt{6t}$

$x'(t)=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6t}+c_2$ $4\sqrt{6}$ $cos4\sqrt{6t}$

The mass is released from the rest x'(0) = 0

$=-4\sqrt{6c_1} sin4\sqrt{6(0)}+c_2$ $4\sqrt{6}$ $cos4\sqrt{6(0)}$ =0

$c_2$ $4\sqrt{6} =0$

$c_2=0$

Therefore , $x(t)=c_1$ $cos 4\sqrt{6t}$

Since , the mass is released from the rest from 4 inches

$x(0)= -4$ inches

$c_1 cos 4\sqrt{6(0)} =-\frac{4}{12}$ feet

$c_1=-\frac{1}{3}$ feet

Therefore , the equation of motion is $-\frac{1}{3} cos4\sqrt{6t}$

The amount of diffraction that a sound wave undergoes depends on

BigorU [14]

The amount of diffraction of sound waves depends on the medium the sound wave travels to and the frequency. Diffraction happens as soon as it has been out of the source.
