When you're in an airplane that's 7 miles up off the ground, the strength of gravity plunges to only 99.6 percent of its strength all the way down on the ground. A big heavy person, who weighs 200 pounds down at the airport, weighs only 199 pounds 4.7 ounces in a plane at the altitude of 7 miles.

Two point charges, q1 = 2.0 × 10−7 C and q2 = −6.0 × 10−8 C, are held 25.0 cm apart. (a) What is the electric field at a point 5
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

a)432000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}

b)-6.92\times10^{-14}N\hat{i}

Explanation:

a)

The magnitude of the electric field generated by a charged particle at a distance r is:

E= k\frac{|Q|}{r^{2}}

With Q the charge of the particle and k the constant ()

So, the electric field generated by q1 knowing that the point 5.0 cm apart the negative charge is 25.0cm-5.0cm=20.0 cm=0.2m apart the positive charge is:

E_1= k\frac{|q1|}{r_1^{2}} =(9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}})\frac{|2.0\times10^{-7}|}{(0.2)^{2}}

E_1= 45000\frac{N}{C}

and the electric field generated by q2:

E_2= k\frac{|q2|}{r_2^{2}} =(9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}})\frac{|-6.0\times10^{-8}|}{(0.05)^{2}}

E_2=216000\frac{N}{C}

Those are the magnitudes of the electric field, but electric field is a vector quantity, so the direction is important. Electric field generated by negative particles points towards the charge and electric field generated by positive particles points away the particle. So, if we define positive direction towards negative particle (x-axis):

\overrightarrow{E_2}=+216000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}

\overrightarrow{E_1}= +45000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}

Vector quantities satisfy superposition principle, this is \overrightarrow{E}=\overrightarrow{E_1}+\overrightarrow{E_2}, with E the total electric field.

\overrightarrow{E}=(216000+45000)\hat{i}=432000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}

b) The force is:

\overrightarrow{F}=e*\overrightarrow{E},

with q the charge of an electron

\overrightarrow{F}=(-1.61\times10^{-19})*(432000)\hat{i}=-6.92\times10^{-14}N\hat{i}

A 74-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.56 m,
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1.44 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boy, m = 74 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 1.6 m/s

The boy then drops through a height of 1.56 m

Final speed of boy, v = 8.5 m/s

To find,

Non-conservative work was done on the boy.

Solution,

The work done by the non conservative forces is equal to the sum of total change in kinetic energy and total change in potential energy.

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+(0-mgh)

W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)-mgh

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74\times (8.5^2-1.6^2)-74\times 9.8\times 1.56

W = 1447.21 Joules

or

W = 1.44 kJ

Therefore, the non conservative work done on the boy is 1.44 kJ.

Explain the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker if you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp would you include
sesenic [268]
The answer is Fuse.  Circuit breakers and fuses are generally known as "Overload Protection Devices.  The difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker is that a fuse is a one time circuit element while a circuit breaker is a multiple use device. If you were designing a circuit for a reading lamp, a fuse would do.  Since almost all household installed a circuit breaker for outlets, etc,

A 16.0 kg crate rests on a shelf 1.80 m above the floor in a warehouse. A forklift is used to raise the crate to a shelf 3.30 m
klio [65]

A 16.0 kg crate increases in height from 1.80 m to 3.30 m above the floor. The increase in potential energy is 240 J (a).

<h3>What is potential energy?</h3>

It is the energy due to the position.

A 16.0 kg (m) crate rests on a shelf 1.80 m (h₁) above the floor in a warehouse. The potential energy is:

U₁ = m × g × h₁ = 16.0 kg × (9.81 m/s²) × 1.80 m = 283 J

A forklift is used to raise the crate to a shelf 3.30 m (h₂) above the warehouse floor. The potential energy is:

U₂ = m × g × h₂ = 16.0 kg × (9.81 m/s²) × 3.30 m = 518 J

The increase in the potential energy is:

518 J - 283 J = 235 J ≈ 240 J

A 16.0 kg crate increases in height from 1.80 m to 3.30 m above the floor. The increase in potential energy is 240 J (a).

Earlier we discussed the concept of isostasy, where lower density rocks rise higher than higher density rocks. How is the variat
Elena L [17]

The variation of water depth at spreading centers (ridges) controlled by isostasy  as convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.

<h3>What is convective heat transfer?</h3>

When heat transfer takes place between the two fluids in direct or indirect contact.

The lithosphere cools when it moves away from the ridge axis by sea floor spreading. The cooler rocks have low density, so the sea floor gets deeper as the lithosphere gets more dense.

Thus, the convective cooling cools the rocks much more effectively the than heat conduction.
