Near the surface of Earth an electric field points radially downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 N/C. What charge (

magnitude and sign) would have to be placed on a penny that has a mass of 3g to cause it to rise into the air with an upqard acceleration of 0.19 m/s^2

Answer:

$q=2.997\times 10^{-4}$ C

Sign-Negative

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field = $E=100NC^{-1}$ (Radially downward)

Acceleration= $0.19 ms^{-2}$ (Upward)

Mass of charge=3 g= $3\times 10^{-3}$ kg

1kg=1000g

We have to find the magnitude and sign of charge would have to be placed on a penny .

By newton's second law

$\sum F_y=ma$

$\sum F_y=qE-mg$

Substitute the values then we get

$qE-mg=ma$

Substitute the values then we get

$q(100)-3\times 10^{-3}(9.8)=3\times 10^{-3}(0.19)$

$100q-29.4\times 10^{-3}=0.57\times 10^{-3}$

$100q=0.57\times 10^{-3}+29.4\times 10^{-3}=29.97\times 10^{-3}$

$q=\frac{29.97\times 10^{-3}}{100}$

$q=2.997\times 10^{-4}$ C

Sign of charge =Negative

Because electric force acting in opposite direction of electric field therefore,charge on penny will be negative.

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107

dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

$K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}$

Where:

$K$ - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

$P$ - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

$-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP$

This resultant expression is solved by definite integration and algebraic handling:

$-K\int\limits^{V_{f}}_{V_{o}} {\frac{dV}{V} } = \int\limits^{P_{f}}_{P_{o}}\, dP$

$-K\cdot \ln \left |\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = P_{f} - P_{o}$

$\ln \left| \frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = \frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K}$

$\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} = e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }$

The final volume is predicted by:

$V_{f} = V_{o}\cdot e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }$

If $V_{o} = 1\,m^{3}$ , $P_{o} - P_{f} = -10132500\,Pa$ and $K = 2.3\times 10^{9}\,Pa$ , then:

$V_{f} = (1\,m^{3}) \cdot e^{\frac{-10.1325\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{2.3 \times 10^{9}\,Pa} }$

$V_{f} \approx 0.996\,m^{3}$

Change in volume due to increasure on pressure is:

$\Delta V = V_{o} - V_{f}$

$\Delta V = 1\,m^{3} - 0.996\,m^{3}$

$\Delta V = 0.004\,m^{3}$

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

What happens to a mirror when a ray is directed at it

mixas84 [53]

Nothing happens to the mirror.

However, if the ray is within some suitable range of
wavelengths, the ray is reflected from the mirror's surface.

A seagull flies at a velocity of 9.00 m/s straight into the wind. (a) if it takes the bird 20.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative t

enot [183]

Here we will the speed of seagull which is v = 9 m/s

this is the speed of seagull when there is no effect of wind on it

now in part a)

if effect of wind is in opposite direction then it travels 6 km in 20 min

so the average speed is given by the ratio of total distance and total time

$v_{avg} = \frac{6000}{20*60}$

$v_{avg} = 5m/s$

now since effect of wind is in opposite direction then we can say

$V_{net} = v_{bird} - v_{wind}$

$5 = 9 - v_{wind}$

$v_{wind}= 4 m/s$

Part b)

now if bird travels in the same direction of wind then we will have

$v_{net}= v_{bird} + v_{wind}$

$v_{net} = 9 + 4 = 13 m/s$

now we can find the time to go back

$time = \frac{distance}{speed}$

$time = \frac{6000}{13}$

$time = 7.7 minutes$

Part c)

Total time of round trip when wind is present

$T = t_1 + t_2$

$T = 20 + 7.7 = 27.7 min$

now when there is no wind total time is given by

$T = \frac{6000}{9} + \frac{6000}{9}$

$T = 22.22 min$

So due to wind time will be more
