Answer:

the need to move quickly through dark environments

Explanation:

Dolphins and Bats are those creature who uses echolocation in the path which is one property which give them edge in night because they can easily locate things which any other creature face difficult to locate.

In echolocation what bat and dolphins do is the emit ultra sonic waves which gets deflected from the object and from the deflection they get to know the position of the objects.

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm

Chapter 21, Problem 009 Two identical conducting spheres, fixed in place, attract each other with an electrostatic force of 0.12

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

a) -1.325 μC

b) 4.17μC

Explanation:

First, you need to know that charge is conserved. So, the adition of the charges, as there is no lost in charge, should always be the same. Also, after the wire is removed, both spheres will have the same charge, trying to find equilibrium. In summary:

$q_1 + q_2 = constant\\q_1_f = q_2_f |Then\\q_1_f + q_2_f = 2q_1_f = q_1_o+q_2_o\\q_1_f = q_2_f = \frac{q_1_o+q_2_o}{2}$

We know both q1f and q2f must be positive, because the negative charge at the beginning was the the smaller.

The electrostatic force is equal to:

$F_e = k\frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

K is the Coulomb constant, equal to 9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Now, we are told that the electrostatic force after the wire is equal to 0.0443 N:

$F_e_f = k \frac{q_1_fq_2_f}{r^2} = k\frac{\frac{q_1_o+q_2_o}{2}\frac{q_1_o+q_2_o}{2}}{r^2} = k\frac{(q_1_o+q_2_o)^2}{4r^2} \\(q_1_o+q_2_o) = \sqrt{\frac{F_e_f*4r^2}{k}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.0443N *4(0.641m)^2}{9*10^9Nm^2/C^2} } = 2.844 *10^{-6}C \\ q_1_o = 2.844*10^{-6}C - q_2_o$

Originally, the force is negative because it was an attraction force, therefore, its direction was opposite to the direction of the repulsive force after the wire:

$F_e_o = k\frac{q_1_oq_2_o}{r^2}\\ q_1_oq_2_o = \frac{F_e_o*r^2}{k} = \frac{-0.121N(0.641m)^2}{9*10^9Nm^2/C^2} = -5.524*10^{-12}$

$(2.844*10^{-6}C - q_2_o)q_2_o = -5.524*10^{-12}\\0 = q_2_o^2 - 2.844*10^{-6}q_2_o - 5.524*10^{-12}$

Solving the quadratic equation:

$q_2_o = 4.17*10^{-6}C | -1.325 * 10^{-6}C$

for this values q_1 wil be:

$q_1_o = -1.325 *10^{-6}C | 4.17*10^{-6}C$

So as you can see, the negative charge will always be -1.325 μC and the positive 4.17μC

If a train is 100 kilometers away, how much sooner would you hear the train coming by listening to the rails (iron) as opposed t

Whitepunk [10]

From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer: 283 s (nearest second)
