Answer:

16916.4 V

Explanation:

Electric potential: This is the work done in bringing a unit positive charge from infinity to that point in against the action of the field. The S.I unit  of Electric potential is V.

mathematically, Electric potential can be expressed as

P = E×d ....................................... Equation 1.

Where P = Electric potential, E = Electric Field, d = distance/height of the level at the top of the Washington  Monument.

Given: E = 100 V/m, d = 555 ft = 555×0.3048 m = 169.164 m.

Substitute into equation 1

P = 100×169.164

P = 16916.4 V.

Thus the potential difference = 16916.4 V.

Answer:

a=40\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a shuttlecock, u = 30 m/s

Final speed of the shuttlecock, v = 10 m/s

Time, t = 0.5 s

We need to find its average acceleration. The acceleration of an object is equal to the change in speed divided by time taken. It is given by :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{10-30}{0.5}\\\\a=-40\ m/s^2

So, the average acceleration of badminton shuttlecock is 40\ m/s^2.

A 7.55 × 1014 hz electromagnetic wave travels in carbon tetrachloride with a speed of 2.05 ×108 m/s. what is the wavelength of t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

2.72×10^-7

Explanation:

velocity = frequency × wavelength

2.05×10^8=7.55×10^14 wavelength

wavelength = 2.05×10^8/7.55×10^14

wavelength = 2.72×10^-7

What is the reaction force for sky diving?
DIA [1.3K]
As the skydiver accelerates she gains momentum, and the air she passes through creates a resistance that pushes back up at her, increasing drag. Eventually, the force of the resisting air balances out with the force of gravity, and the skydiver stops speeding up

A circular flat coil that has N turns, encloses an area A, and carries a current i has its central axis parallel to a uniform ma
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Torque on the coil will be ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic moment of the closed current carrying coil is always along its axis and it is given as

M = N i A

now we know that magnetic field is also along the axis of the coil so here as we know the equation of torque given as

\tau = \vec M \times \vec B

so we have

\tau = M B sin0

\tau = 0
