Explain how the intensity of the UV light varies across the Earth

Physics

Answer:

Much more UV radiation is absorbed and less reaches the Earth. UV levels are higher closer to the equator. Closer to the equator the sun's rays have a shorter distance to travel through the atmosphere and therefore less of the harmful UV radiation can be absorbed.

Explanation: Hope it helps you :)))))

A nonconducting sphere of diameter 10.0 cm carries charge distributed uniformly inside with charge density of +5.50 µC/m3 . A pr

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

t = 2.58*10^-6 s

Explanation:

For a nonconducting sphere you have that the value of the electric field, depends of the region:

$rR:\\\\E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}$

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

R: radius of the sphere = 10.0/2 = 5.0cm=0.005m

In this case you can assume that the proton is in the region for r > R. Furthermore you use the secon Newton law in order to find the acceleration of the proton produced by the force:

$F=m_pa\\\\qE=m_pa\\\\k\frac{qQ}{r^2}=m_pa\\\\a=k\frac{qQ}{m_pr^2}$

Due to the proton is just outside the surface you can use r=R and calculate the acceleration. Also, you take into account the charge density of the sphere in order to compute the total charge:

$Q=\rho V=(5.5*10^{-6}C/m^3)(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.05m)^3)=2.87*10^{-9}C\\\\a=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(2.87*10^{-9}C)}{(1.67*10^{-27}kg)(0.05m)^2}=9.87*10^{11}\frac{m}{s^2}$

with this values of a you can use the following formula:

$a=\frac{v-v_o}{t}\\\\t=\frac{v-v_o}{a}=\frac{2550*10^3m/s-0m/s}{9.87*10^{11}m/s^2}=2.58*10^{-6}s$

hence, the time that the proton takes to reach a speed of 2550km is 2.58*10^-6 s

A 5 kg wooden block sitson a flat straight-away12 meters fromthe bottom of an infinitely long ramp, which has an angle of 20 deg

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

(a) 19.71801m/s Velocity just before going up the ramp.

(b) 74.56338m.

Explanation:

We will solve it in two parts, first we will calculate time that 5kg wooden block would take to just reach ramp and with this time we will calculate final velocity that the wooden block would have in this time.

Second, we will calculate the component of velocity vector along inclined plane and the time that it would take for velocity to be 0 meters/s then with this time we will calculate the distance that inclined plane would travel along inclined plane.

Following formulas will be used.

$x(t) = \frac{1}{2} t^2 = 12m =16.2m/s^2 t^2$

$F =ma$

$V(t) = V_{o} +at$

$x(t) = x_{0} +v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}a t^2$

(a) Calculating velocity right before going up the ramp.

Wooden block is going on a straightaway and has net for on it.

$F_{n} =F-F_{s} = F-uF_{n} = 100N-0.4*9.8m/s^2*5kg$ = $81N$

and this force produces acceleration of

$a = \frac{F}{m}=\frac{81}{5} =16.2m/s^2 .$

With this acceleration, wooden block would reach at the foot of ramp in.

$x(t) = 12m = 16.2m/s^2*t^2$

$t = 1.217s$

and final velocity will be

$v(t) = v_{0}+at = 0+16.2m/s^2*1.2171s = 19.7180m/s.$

this velocity of wooden box just before going up the ramp.

(b) How far up the ramp will the wooden block go before stopping.

Ramp is at 20° relative to horizontal therefore velocity along the ramp that the wooden block would have will be.

$V= V_{h}cos(20) = 18.5288m/s$

and deceleration along the ramp is

$a = \frac{F_{s} }{m}$

Where $F_{s}$ force of friction along the inclined plane.

$F_s = uF_n = u*m*a$

$a = 9.8m/s^2*cos(20) = 9.2089m/s^2$

is a component of g along normal of the inclined plane.

$F_{s} = 0.25*5kg*9.2089m/s^2$

$= 11.5112N$

$a = \frac{11.5112N}{5kg} = 2.3022m/s^2$

And with this deceleration time needed to get wooded block to stop is.

$v(t) = v_o-at = 18.5288m/s-2.3022m/s^2*t = 0$

$t = \frac{18.5288m/s}{2.3022m/s^2} =8.04813s$

and in that time wooden block would travel

$x(8.04813s) = 18.52881m/s *8.04813s-\frac{1}{} 2.3022m/s^2*(8.0481)^2=74.56338m$

This is how up wooden box will go before coming to stop.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

If resistance increases current decreases.

Explanation:

Current is <em>inversely proportional</em> to the resistance.
from the relation given below, we can clearly see the relation between current and resistance;

V=IR

I ∝ 1/R

This relation shows that when resistance increases,current decreases.

Engineers have designed experimental cars that use liquid hydrogen for fuel instead of gasoline. this is an example of Substitution.

Substitution is the process where one thing replaces other for a particular purpose. here liquid hydrogen is replacing the gasoline for fuel in car. hence the correct word to fill is Substitution.
