Answer: 12.50 μm

Explanation:

Usually, reflections from the top of the bottom plate have a ½λ phase change. But they do not possess it from the bottom of the top plate (striking air). So then,

t = ½ λ = ½ x 450*10^-9m = 225*10^-9 m

So that the Wedge angle will then be

sinθ = t/1.80*10^-3 m

sinθ = 225*10^-9 / 1.80*10^-3

sinθ = 1.25*10^-4

θ = 2.18*10^-4

For the whole wedge, the hypotenuse = 0.10m, i.e the vertical wire diameter = d

Sinθ = d / 0.10

1.25^-4 = d / 0.10

d = 0.10 x 1.25*10^-4

d = 1.25*10^-5m

d = 12.50^-6 m (12.50 μm)

A total electric charge of 6.75 nC is distributed uniformly over the surface of a metal sphere with radius 20.0 cm. If the poten
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

a) 60 V

b) 125 V

c) 125 V

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>

We are given the total electric charge q = 6.75 nC = 6.75x 10^-9 C distributed uniformly over the surface of a metal sphere with a radius of R = 20.0 cm = 0.020 m.  

<u>Required </u>

We are asked to calculate the potential at the distances

(a) r = 10.0 cm

(b) r = 20.0 cm

(c) r = 40.0 cm  

<u>Solution</u>

(a) Here, the distance r > R so, we can get the potential outside the sphere (r > R) where the potential is given by

V = q/4\pi∈_o                       (1)

r is the distance where the potential is measured and the term 1/4\pi∈_o equals  9.0 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2. Now we can plug our values for q and r into equation (1) to get the potential V where r = 0.10 m  

V= 1*q/4\pi∈_o*r

 =60 V

(b) Here the distance r is the same for the radius R, so we can get the potential inside the sphere (r = R) where the potential is given by  

V = 1*q/4\pi∈_o*R                (2)    

Now we can plug our values for q and R into equation (2) to get the potential V where R = 0.20 m  

V = 1*q/4\pi∈_o*R

    = 125 V

(c) Inside the sphere the electric field is zero therefore, no work is done on a test charge that moves from any point to any other point inside the sphere. Thus the potential is the same at every point inside the sphere and is equal to the potential on the surface. and it will be the same as in part (b)  

V= 125 V

Josh is much bigger than taylor. after the push, which of the two is moving faster?
egoroff_w [7]
If E = 1/2 * m * v^2
v = (2E/m)^1/2
so the larger the mass, the higher the velocity hence taylor is moving faster

A spherical helium filled balloon (B) with a hanging passenger cage being held by a single vertical cable (C) attached to Earth
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The tension is  T  = 4326.7 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  total mass is  m  =  200 \  kg

    The  radius is r = 5 \  m

     The  density of air is  \rho_a  =  1.225 \ kg/m^3

Generally the upward  force acting on the balloon is mathematically represented as

        F_N  =   T  + mg

=>     (\rho_a  *  V  *  g ) =   T  + mg

=>   T  =  (\rho_a  * V  *  g   )  - mg

Here V is the volume  of the spherical helium filled balloon which is mathematically represented as

      V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * \pi r^3

=>   V  =  \frac{4}{3}  * 3.142 *(5)^3

=>   V  = 523.67\  m^3

So

    T  = (1.225 *  523.67*  9.8 ) -  200 *  9.8

   T  = 4326.7 \  N
