Question I. SUHU ULT
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Feathers are great thermal insulators.

Explanation:

Feathers are great thermal insulators. The loose structure of down feathers traps air.

As a result, energy cannot be transmitted easily through down feathers. This means birds are insulated from cold air outside, plus their body heat doesn't escape easily either.

Human beings discovered that down feathers are good for insulation long ago. For example, documents from the 1600s show that Russian merchants sold “bird down" to the Dutch hundreds of years ago.

Today, down is used in all sorts of products, including coats, bedding, and sleeping bags, to help better insulate the user from cold weather. Down can be collected from many different types of birds, but most of today's supply comes from domestic geese.

If you have a down coat or comforter, is it all down? In the United States, laws require that products labeled “100 percent down" contain only down feathers.

If your product is labeled “down," it can contain a mixture of both down feathers and synthetic fibers. Not all down feathers are created equal, though.

Down insulation is rated on a measure called “fill power." The higher the fill power, the more the down insulates.

The highest fill-power rating — 1200 — goes to eiderdown, which comes from the Common Eider duck. Eiderdown tends to be expensive.

Find electric field at point p which is a distance l away from the both +q and -q
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }+\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

Explanation:

As given point p is equidistant from both the charges

It must be in the middle of both the charges

Assuming all 3 points lie on the same line

Electric Field due a charge q at a point ,distance r away

=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{r^{2} }

Where

  • q is the charge
  • r is the distance
  • E is the permittivity of medium

Let electric field due to charge q be F1 and -q be F2

I is the distance of P from q and also from charge -q

⇒

F1=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }

F2=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

⇒

F1+F2=\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{q}{I^{2} }+\frac{1}{4\times(pie)\times\text{E}} \times\frac{-q}{I^{2} }

if pete (mass =90.00kg) weighs himself and finds that he weighs 30.0 pounds, how far away from the earth is he?
Svet_ta [14]

Here we know that mass of the person is 90 kg

His weight is given as 30 lbf

so here we can convert it into Newton as we know that

1 lbf = 4.45 N

Now from above conversion

30 lbf = 30 \times 4.45 = 133.45 N

now we can use this to find the gravity at this height

mg = 133.45

90\times g = 133.45

g = 1.49 m/s^2

now we know that with height gravity varies as

g' = g(\frac{R}{R+H})^2

1.49 = 9.8(\frac{6.37\times 10^6}{6.37\times 10^6 + h})^2

h = 1.0 \times 10^7 m

so above is the height from the surface of earth

An isloated point charge produce an electric field with magnitude E at a point 2 m away. At a point 1 m from the charge magnitud
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

the correct answer is C,      E’= 4E

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the electric field at a given point

         E = k \frac{q}{r^2}

indicates that the field is E for r = 2m

         E = \frac{ k q}{4}                  (1)

the field is requested for a distance r = 1 m

         E ’= k \frac{q}{r'^2}

         E ’= k q / 1

 

from equation 1

         4E = k q

       

we substitute

        E’= 4E

so the correct answer is C
