Consult Conceptual Example 9 in preparation for this problem. Interactive LearningWare 6.3 also provides useful background. The

drawing shows a person who, starting from rest at the top of a cliff, swings down at the end of a rope, releases it, and falls into the water below. There are two paths by which the person can enter the water. Suppose he enters the water at a speed of 13.4 m/s via path 1. How fast is he moving on path 2 when he releases the rope at a height of 2.34 m above the water? Ignore the effects of air resistance.

Answer:

11.56066 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

v = Velocity of person = 13.4 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v' = Velocity of the person in the second

The kinetic and potential energy will balance each other at the surface

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{13.4^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=9.15188\ m

Height of the cliff is 9.15188 m

Let height of the fall be h' = 2.34 m

\dfrac{1}{2}mv'^2+mgh'=mgh\\\Rightarrow v'=\sqrt{2g(h-h')}\\\Rightarrow v'=\sqrt{2\times 9.81(9.15188-2.34)}\\\Rightarrow v'=11.56066\ m/s

The speed of the person is 11.56066 m/s

There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel
taurus [48]

Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say)  = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}

Similar is the case with plate B:

V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}

V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is \frac{d}{2}.

Electric Field at plate A, \vec{E_{A}} at midway due to charge q:

\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

Similarly, for plate B:

\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.

Which refers to the change of pitch heard when the source of the sound approaches and then moves away from a stationary person?
babunello [35]
<h2><em>The Doppler effect is a change in the frequency of sound waves that occurs when the source of the sound waves is moving relative to a stationary listener. As the source of sound waves approaches a listener, the sound waves get closer together, increasing their frequency and the pitch of the sound.</em></h2><h2><em>HOP</em>E IT HELPS </h2><h2>THANK YOU </h2>

podryga [215]
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case, 
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2  r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2  kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 =   1/4
