Explanation:

It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet

The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :

s(t)=16t^2

16t^2=862

t=\sqrt{53.875}

t = 7.34 seconds

So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the​ building. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two spherical shells have a common center. A -2.1 10-6 C charge is spread uniformly over the inner shell, which has a radius of
julsineya [31]

Answer:

a) E_total = 6,525 10⁴ N /C ,field direction is radial outgoing

b)  E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / C, field is incoming radial

c) E_total = 0

Explanetion:

For this exercise we can use that the charge in a spherical shell can be considered concentrated at its center and that the electric field inside the shell is zero, since Gauss's law is

                Ф = E .dA = q_{int} /ε₀

inside the spherical shell there are no charges

The electric field is a vector quantity, so we calculate the field created by each shell and add it vectorly.

We have two sphere shells with radii 0.050m and 0.15m respectively

a) point where you want to know the electric field d = 0.20 m

shell 1

the point is on the outside,d>ro,  therefore we can consider the charge to be concentrated in the center

            E₁ = k q₁ / d²

             

shell 2

the point is on the outside,d>ro

             E₂ = k q₂ / d²

the total camp is

              E_total = -E₁ + E₂

              E_total = k ( \frac{-q_1 + q_2}{d^2})

              E_total = 9 10⁹ (-2.1 10⁻⁶+ 5 10⁻⁶ / .2²

              E_total = 6,525 10⁵ N /C

The field direction is radial and outgoing ti the shells

b) the calculation point is d = 0.10m

shell 1

point outside the shell d> ro

                 E₁ = k q₁ / d²

shell 2

the point is inside the shell d <ro

Therefore, according to Gauss's law, since there are no charges in the interior, the electrioc field is zero

                E₂ = 0

               

                 E_total = E₁

                 E_total = k q₁ / d²

                 E_total = 9 10⁹ 2.1 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                 E_total = 1.89 10⁶ N / A

As the charge is negative, this field is incoming radial, that is, it is directed towards the shell 1

c) the point of interest d = 0.025 m

shell 1

point  is inside the shell d< ro

                 

as there are no charges inside

                     E₁ = 0

shell 2

point is inside the radius of the shell d <ro

                    E₂ = 0

the total field is

                    E_total = 0

Cual es la rapidez media de un guepardo que recorre 100 metros en 4 segundos? ¿Y si recorre 50 m en 2 s?
Maru [420]

Answer:

La rapidez media es 25 m/s en ambos casos.

Explanation:

Podemos definir como rapidez media al cociente entre la distancia total recorrida y el tiempo que se tardó en recorrer dicha distancia.

Así tenemos:

Rapidez media = Distancia/tiempo.

Entonces si el guepardo recorre 100m en 4 segundos, su rapidez media es:

Rapidez media = 100m/4s = 25 m/s

En el caso de que el guepardo recorre 50 metros en 2 segundos, su rapidez media será:

rapidez media = 50m/2s = 25m/s

Es el mismo resultado, pues recorrió la mitad de distancia en la mitad de tiempo.
