Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

$E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)$

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

$E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)$

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards

A conductor of radius r, length and resistivity ρ has resistance r. what is the new resistance if it is stretched to 4 times its

max2010maxim [7]

The resistance of a conductor is given by
$R= \frac{\rho L}{A}$
where L is the length of the wire, $\rho$ the resistivity of the material and A the cross-sectional area.

We can see that if all the other quantities do not change, if the new length of the conductor is 4 times the original length: $L'=4 L$ , then the new resistance is also 4 times the original value:
$R'= \frac{\rho L'}{A}= \frac{\rho 4 L}{A}=4 \frac{\rho L}{A}=4 R$

Consider the following reaction proceeding at 298.15 K: Cu(s)+2Ag+(aq,0.15 M)⟶Cu2+(aq, 1.14 M)+2Ag(s) If the standard reduction

lutik1710 [3]

Answer : The cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

Solution :

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)$

Here copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. silver (Ag) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.34V$

$E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=0.80V$

$E^o=E^o_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^o=0.80V-(0.34V)=0.46V$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of cell potential for this cell.

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}][Ag]^2}{[Cu][Ag^+]^2}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$E_{cell}=0.46-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(1.14)\times (1)^2}{(1)\times (0.15)}$

$E_{cell}=0.434V$

Therefore, the cell potential for this cell 0.434 V

Bonus: (It's not that hard, you just have to pay attention to units.) The Saturn V rocket first stage

$v = 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}$

Explanation:

Newton's 2nd Law can be expressed in terms of the object's momentum, in this case the expelled exhaust gases, as

$F = \dfrac{d{p}}{d{t}}$ (1)

Assuming that the velocity remains constant then

$F = \dfrac{d}{dt}(mv) = v\dfrac{dm}{dt}$

Solving for $v,$ we get

$v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)}\;\;\;\;\;\;\;(2)$

Before we plug in the given values, we need to convert them first to their appropriate units:

The thrust <em>F</em><em> </em> is

$F = 7.5×10^6\:\text{lbs}×\dfrac{4.45\:\text{N}}{1\:\text{lb}} = 3.34×10^7\:\text{N}$

The exhaust rate dm/dt is

$\dfrac{dm}{dt} = 15\dfrac{T}{s}×\dfrac{2000\:\text{lbs}}{1\:\text{T}}×\dfrac{1\:\text{kg}}{2.2\:\text{lbs}}$

$\;\;\;\;\;= 1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}$

Therefore, the velocity at which the exhaust gases exit the engines is

$v = \dfrac{F}{\left(\frac{dm}{dt}\right)} = \dfrac{3.34×10^7\:\text{N}}{1.36×10^4\:\text{kg/s}}$

$\;\;\;= 2.45×10^3\:\text{m/s}$
