Answer:

The correct option is

(e)either (c) or (d) could be correct.

Explanation:

The electric field of a charge radiates out in all directions and the intensity of the electric field strength given by E = F/q₀, diminishes as the lines of force moves further away from the source. The direction of F and E is in the line of potential motion of the source charge in the field.

Equipotential surfaces are locations in the radiated electric that have the same field strength or electric potential. The work done in moving within an equipotential surface is zero and as such since

Work = Force × distance = 0 where distance ≠ 0.

The force acting between two points on an equipotential surface is also zero or the component of the force within an equipotential surface is zero and since there is a force in the electric field, it is acting at right angles to the equipotential surface which could be horizontally to the left or right directions where the equipotential surfaces due to the charge distribution are in the vertical plane.

Therefore it is either horizontally to the left, or horizontally to the right.

snow_lady [41]

When south poles of the two magnets are brought close together, they will repel.

Thus, the statement is true.

The strength of an electromagnet can be increased by increasing the number of turns on the wire of the coil.

Thus, the second statement is false.

charle [14.2K]

A) 20 L/s

B) 2.55 m/s

C) 10.20 m/s

D) 400.8 kPa

Explanation:

a)

In this problem, we know that the volume of the tank:

V=72 m^3  

is filled in a time of

t = 1 h

We also know that the volume flow rate of water in the pipe is constant in every point of the pipe, so it can be calculated directly from the two data above.

The volume of the tank, in liter, is

V=72 m^3 = 72,000 L

While the time, in seconds, is

t=1 h = 3600 s

Therefore, the volume flow rate in Liters per second is:

Q=\frac{V}{t}=\frac{72,000}{3600}=20 L/s

b)

The volume flow rate of water through the pipe can be also written as

Q=Av

where

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

In section B, we have:

r = 0.050 m is the radius of section B

so, the cross-sectional area of section B is:

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.050)^2=0.00785 m^2

The volume flow rate in SI units is

Q=\frac{V}{t}=\frac{72.0m^3}{3600 s}=0.02 m^3/s

Therefore, the speed of the water in section B is:

v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{0.02}{0.00785}=2.55 m/s

c)

As in part B), we know that the volume flow rate must remain constant through the entire pipe.

So, the volume flow rate in section A of the pipe is still

Q=0.02 m^3/s

The radius of the pipe in section A is

r=0.025 m

Therefore, the cross-sectional area in section A of the pipe is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.025)^2=0.00196 m^2

So, since we have

Q=Av

we can find the speed of water in section A:

v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{0.02}{0.00196}=10.20 m/s

d)

Here we want to find the gauge pressure in section B.

We know that:

p_A = 2.0 atm = 105,000 Pa is the pressure in section A

h_A=15.0m is the altitude of section A

v_A=10.20 m/s is the speed of water in section A

v_B=2.55 m/s is the speed of water in section B

We can write Bernoulli's equation:

p_A + \rho g h_A + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_A^2 = p_B + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_B^2

where

\rho=1000 kg/m^3 is the water density

p_B is the pressure in section B

And solving for pB, we find:

p_B = p_A + \rho g h_A + \frac{1}{2}\rho (v_A^2-v_B^2)=\\=205,000+(1000)(9.8)(15.0)+\frac{1}{2}(1000)(10.20^2-2.55^2)=400,769 Pa

Which is

p_B = 400.8 kPa
