-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.
-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).
-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,
-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.
From britaññica it said time and money. They didn’t have either to switch over from the industrial period and never did. Also from my own person reasoning i think most of the world uses not US customary, so to make stuff more accessible. hope this helps!
Answer:
Fx = 35.36 N
Fy = 35.36 N
Explanation:
From the question,
The X component of the force is
Fx = Fcos∅.................. Equation 1
Where Fx = X component of the force, F = Force, ∅ = Angle to the horizontal.
Give: F = 50 N, ∅ = 45°
Substitute into equation 1
Fx = 50(cos45°)
Fx = 50(0.7071)
Fx = 35.36 N
Similarly,
For Y component
Fy = Fsin∅
Where F y = Y component
Fy = 50(sin45°)
Fy = 50(0.7071)
Fy = 35.36 N
Answer:
0.8 N
Explanation:
From coulomb's law,
Formula:
F = kqq'/r²........................ Equation 1
Where F = Force of repulsion, k = coulomb's constant, q = first positive charge, q' = second positive charge, r = distance between the charge.
Given: q = 20 μC = 20×10⁻⁶ C, q' = 100 μC = 100×10⁻⁶ C, r = 150 cm = 1.5 m.
Constant: k = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Substitute these values into equation 1
F = (20×10⁻⁶ )( 100×10⁻⁶)(9×10⁹)/1.5²
F = 1800×10⁻³/2.25
F = 1.8/2.25
F = 0.8 N
Answer:
The capacitance is cut in half.
Explanation:
The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:
C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)
Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:
C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)
C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]
Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:
C_new = (1/2)*C
