Answer:

The intensity of the light from the bulb would be

3.501 x $10^{-6}$ W/ $m^{2}$

Explanation:

Given

The Power = 110 n W = 110 x $10^{-9}$ W

the distance r = 50 mm = 50 /1000 = 0.05 m

The intensity can be obtained with the relationship below;

I = Power/area ......1

The area of the sphere would be used in this case since the bulb is spherical; A=4π $r^{2}$

Putting it into equation 1, we have;

I = P/ 4π $r^{2}$

I = 110 x $10^{-9}$ / 4 x π x $0.05^{2}$

I = 3.501 x $10^{-6}$ W/ $m^{2}$

Therefore the intensity of the light from the bulb would be

3.501 x $10^{-6}$ W/ $m^{2}$

A pump is used to transport water to a higher reservoir. if the water temperature is 15ºc, determine the lowest pressure that ca

Reika [66]

Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called cavitation.

So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at $15^{\circ}$ is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.

Two identical small metal spheres with q1 > 0 and |q1| > |q2| attract each other with a force of magnitude 72.1 mN when se

Brrunno [24]

1) $+2.19\mu C$

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$ (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of

$\frac{Q}{2}$

where Q is the total charge between the two spheres.

So we can actually rewrite the force as

$F=k\frac{(\frac{Q}{2})^2}{r^2}$

And since we know that

r = 1.41 m (distance between the spheres)

$F= 21.63 mN = 0.02163 N$

(the sign is positive since the charges repel each other)

We can solve the equation for Q:

$Q=2\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=2\sqrt{\frac{(0.02163)(1.41)^2}{8.98755\cdot 10^9}}}=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C$

So, the final charge on the sphere on the right is

$\frac{Q}{2}=\frac{4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C}{2}=2.19\cdot 10^{-6}C=+2.19\mu C$

2) $q_1 = +6.70 \mu C$

Now we know the total charge initially on the two spheres. Moreover, at the beginning we know that

$F = -72.1 mN = -0.0721 N$ (we put a negative sign since the force is attractive, which means that the charges have opposite signs)

r = 1.41 m is the separation between the charges

And also,

$q_2 = Q-q_1$

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

$F=k \frac{q_1 (Q-q_1)}{r^2}$

Solving for q1,

$Fr^2=k (q_1 Q-q_1^2})\\kq_1^2 -kQ q_1 +Fr^2 = 0$

Since $Q=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C$ , we can substituting all numbers into the equation:

$8.98755\cdot 10^9 q_1^2 -3.93\cdot 10^4 q_1 -0.141 = 0$

which gives two solutions:

$q_1 = 6.70\cdot 10^{-6} C\\q_2 = -2.34\cdot 10^{-6} C$

Which correspond to the values of the two charges. Therefore, the initial charge q1 on the first sphere is

$q_1 = +6.70 \mu C$

Increasing the speed of your vehicle influences the risk of being involved in a traffic collision because it _________.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Explanation:

When you're driving and you increase the speed of your car, it influences the chances of being involved in a traffic collision because it reduces the amount of time to adjust before a collision happens, and increasing the speed also contribute to the intensity of collision. Hence, making it difficult for anyone to survive.
