Given:

Total distance = 1000 kilometer

Total time = 5 hours

To find:

Average speed = ?

Formula used:

$v_{avg}$ = $\frac{s}{t}$

Where $v_{avg}$ = average speed

s = total distance

t = total time

Solution:

Average speed of the jet is given by,

$v_{avg}$ = $\frac{s}{t}$

Where $v_{avg}$ = average speed

s = total distance

t = total time

$v_{avg}$ = $\frac{1000}{5}$

$v_{avg}$ = 200 km/ h

Thus, average speed of the jet is 200 km/h.

Hence, Option (A) is correct.

Answer: a) Cnew=Cinitial ; b) λouter new= 2*λ outer initial

Explanation: In order to explain this question we have to take into account the expression of teh cylinder capacitor given by:

C/L= (2*π*εo)/ln (b/a)= where b and a are the outer and inner radius, respectively. L is the length of the capacitor.

As you can se this formule depents of geometrical characateristics of the capacitor.

The capacitance is the same after change the densities of charge.

On the other hand,

The new charge in each cylinder ( inner and outer) is determined

The new potential is 2 times the initial one so

V new= 2* Vinitial

Also we know that

Vnew= Q/C= λnew*L/C; C= constant

using this formule and considering that V new is doubled then the charge per one meter length, is also doubled .

This is as follow:

Vnew= λnew*L/C=

λnew = (2*Vinitial)* C/L= 2 (λ initial)

Then λouter new = 2* λouter initial

A uniformly charged sphere has a potential on its surface of 450 V. At a radial distance of 8.1 m from this surface, the potenti

igomit [66]

Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Explanation:

Given;

potential at surface, $V_s$ = 450 V

potential at radial distance, $V_r$ = 150

radial distance, l = 8.1 m

Apply Coulomb's law of electrostatic force;

$V = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_s = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_r = \frac{KQ}{r+ l}$

$450 = \frac{KQ}{r} ------equation (i)\\\\150 = \frac{KQ}{r+8.1} ------equation (ii)\\\\divide \ equation (i)\ by \ equation \ (ii)\\\\\frac{450}{150} = (\frac{KQ}{r} )*(\frac{r+8.1}{KQ} )\\\\3 = \frac{r+8.1}{r} \\\\3r = r + 8.1\\\\2r = 8.1\\\\r = \frac{8.1}{2} \\\\r = 4.05 \ m$

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

How long will it take for the car to accelerate

solniwko [45]

You have to be 90 m away from the cat

Just divide 90 by 17.4 and you will get - 5.172 seconds

- It will take 5.17 seconds to accelerate uniformly to stop in exactly 2 m before the cat
