It is found experimentally that the electric field in a certain region of Earth's atmosphere is directed vertically down. At an

altitude of 300 m the field has magnitude 60.0 N/C; at an altitude of 230 m, the magnitude is 100 N/C. Find the amount of charge contained in a cube 70 m on edge, with horizontal faces at altitudes of 230 and 300 m. Neglect the curvature of Earth.

Answer:

q=1.7346×10⁻⁶C

Explanation:

Since the electric field is perpendicular to the bottom and top of the cube,the total flux is equals the flux over the top of surface plus the flex over the lower surface

Ф(total)=Ф₃₀₀+Ф₂₃₀

But the flux is given by  Ф=E.A=EACos(θ) where θ is the angle between Area vector and electric field

So

Ф(total)=E₃₀₀A Cos(180)+E₂₃₀ACos(0)

Ф(total)=A(E₃₀₀ - E₂₃₀)

The total flux is given by Gauss Law as:

Ф(total)=q/ε₀

q=ε₀Ф(total)

q=ε₀(A(E₃₀₀ - E₂₃₀))

Substitute the given values

q=(8.85×10⁻¹²){(70²)(100 - 60)}

q=1.7346×10⁻⁶C

In covalent bonds what is being shared
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Image result for In covalent bonds what is being shared

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent bonding.

You repeated a measurement 6 times and recorded the time using a stop watch: 5.8s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 4.3s, 4.6s. What average va
iVinArrow [24]

Answer and Explanation

Arranging the measured values in increasing order;

4.3s, 4.6s, 4.6s, 4.8s, 5.1s, 5.8s

The two outliers are obviously 4.3s and 5.8s; An outlier is a value in a statistical sample which does not fit a pattern that describes most other data point. Outliers make the average value complicated. So, it is usually better for data to be precise with data points spreading out around a small area.

So, the mean is the average of the four remaining data points after removing the outliers.

Mean = (4.6 + 4.6 + 4.8 + 5.1)/4

Mean = 4.775s

So, the value recorded should be 4.775s, 4.78s or 4.8s depending on the number of decimal places allowed.

What are conductors and insulators? Give at least five example of each ​
Leona [35]

Answer: conductors are substances that allow heat or electricity to pass through . It deals with only the flow of electrons.

Eg. water, copper wire, iron rod, some ceramic materials, metallic nail.

Insulators are materials that do not allow heat or electricity to pass through.

Eg. Book, plastic, rubber, glass, paper

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: B. Allegheny plateau

Explanation: Allegheny plateau is a mountainous region that makes up the northern part of the United States of America, the following states are located on the Allegheny plateau New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio, it is made up of HORIZONTAL SEDIMENTARY BEDROCK at elevated lands. Allegheny plateau is over 40million area is over 40million acres,it has been a site for Erosion and for millions years,through this erosions some areas have been brought low while others are higher following the deposition of materials by the erosion.

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches
