Answer:

e. 7V

Explanation:

If the potential created at the point P by the first charge is 5 V, and the electric potential created by the second charge is 2 V, as the potential is proportional to the electric field created by the charges, which is linear (due to it is directly proportional to the value of the charges), we can apply the superposition principle.

In this way, we can calculate the total potential, at a point P, as the algebraic sum of the potentials created by all the charges, as if the other ones were not present.

In this case, we have:

V = V₁ + V₂ = 5 V + 2 V = 7 V

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.

Once you start pulling your object with less force than friction, what should you expect your object to do? What about when your
forsale [732]

#Case -1

If Pulling force is less than frictional force the object won't move .

#Case-2

If Pulling force is greater than frictional force then object will be .

In order to calculate friction force you need Limiting friction first .

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_L=\mu sN

u s is coefficient of static friction and N is normal reaction

Or

\\ \sf\longmapsto F_L=\mu smg

A layer of ethyl alcohol (n = 1.361) is on top of water (n = 1.333). To the nearest degree, at what angle relative to the normal
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

a. 78 degree

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law, we have:

(ni)(Sin θi) = (nr)(Sin θr)

where,

ni = Refractive index of medium on which light is incident

ni = Refractive index of ethyl alcohol = 1.361

nr = Refractive index of medium from which light is refracted

nr = Refractive index of ethyl alcohol = 1.333

θi = Angle of Incidence

θr = Angle of refraction

So, the Angle of Incidence is know as the Critical Angle (θc), when the refracted angle becomes 90°. This is the case of total internal reflection. That is:

θi = θc

when, θr = 90°

Therefore, Snell's Law becomes:

(1.361)(Sin θc) = (1.333)(Sin 90°)

Sin θc = 1.333/1.361

θc = Sin⁻¹ (0.9794)

θc = 78.35° = 78° (Approximately)

Therefore, correct answer will be:

a. <u>78 degree</u>

a satellite with a mass of 1800 kg is placed at an altitude of 594 km above the surface of Europa. What is the strength of the g
saul85 [17]
The formula for gravitational potential energy is Ep= mgh. Lets convert 594 km into m: 594 x 1,000 = 594,000 m. So we do: Ep= (1,800kg)(9.8N/kg)(594,000m) = (17,640N)(594,000) = 10,478,160,000 J.
