<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately. Which means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:

Consider two antennas separated by 9.00 m that radiate in phase at 120 MHz, as described in Exercise 35.3. A receiver placed 150

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

$\phi=4.52 rad$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance b/e antenna's $d=9.00m$

Frequency of antenna Radiation $F_r=120 MHz \approx 120*10^6Hz$

Distance from receiver $d_r=150m$

Intensity of Receiver $i= 10$

Distance difference of the receiver b/w antenna's $(r^2-r^1)=1.8m$

Generally the equation for Phase difference $\phi$ is mathematically given by

$\phi=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{c}{f_r}} *(r^2-r^1)$

$\phi=\frac{2*\pi}{\frac{3*10^{8}}{120*10^6}} *1.8$

$\phi=\frac{4\pi}{5} *1.8$

Therefore phase difference f between the two radio waves produced by this path difference is given as

$\phi=4.52 rad$

A uniformly charged ball of radius a and charge –Q is at the center of a hollowmetal shell with inner radius b and outer radius

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

r < a:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{a^3}$

r = a:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi a^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

a < r < b:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}$

r = b:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi b^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

b < r < c:

E = 0

r = c:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{c^2}$

r < c:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}$

Explanation:

Gauss' Law will be applied to each region to find the E-field.

$\int \vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{encl}}{\epsilon_0}$

An imaginary sphere is drawn with radius r, which is equal to the point where the E-field is asked. The area of this imaginary sphere is multiplied by E, and this is equal to the charge enclosed by this imaginary surface divided by ε0.

r<a:

Since the ball is uniformly charged and not hollow, then the enclosed charge can be found by the following method: If the total ball has a charge -Q and volume V, then the enclosed part of the ball has a charge Q_enc and volume V_enc. Then;

$\frac{Q}{V} = \frac{Q_{encl}}{V_{encl}}\\\frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^3} = \frac{Q_{encl}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}\\Q_{encl} = \frac{Qr^3}{a^3}$

Applying Gauss' Law:

$E4\pi r^2 = \frac{-Qr^3}{\epsilon_0 a^3}\\E = -\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{a^3}\\E = \frac{r}{4\pi a^3}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

The minus sign determines the direction of the field, which is towards the center.

At r = a:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi a^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

At a < r < b:

The imaginary surface is drawn between the inner surface of the metal sphere and the smaller ball. In this case the enclosed charge is equal to the total charge of the ball, -Q.

$E4\pi r^2 = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon_0}\\E = -\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}$

At r = b:

$E = -\frac{1}{4\pi b^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

Again, the minus sign indicates the direction of the field towards the center.

At b < r < c:

The hollow metal sphere has a net charge of +2Q. Since the sphere is a conductor, all of its charges are distributed across its surface. No charge is present within the sphere. The smaller ball has a net charge of -Q, so the inner surface of the metal sphere must possess a net charge of +Q. Since the net charge of the metal sphere is +2Q, then the outer surface of the metal should possess +Q.

Now, the imaginary surface is drawn inside the metal sphere. The total enclosed charge in this region is zero, since the total charge of the inner surface (+Q) and the smaller ball (-Q) is zero. Therefore, the Electric region in this region is zero.

E = 0.

At r < c:

The imaginary surface is drawn outside of the metal sphere. In this case, the enclosed charge is +Q (The metal (+2Q) plus the smaller ball (-Q)).

$E4\pi r^2 = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}\\E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}$

At r = c:

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{c^2}$

A 100 kg bag of sand has a weight on 100 N. When dropped its acceleration is what?

Lyrx [107]

100N describes the weight of the sandbag, while 100kg is the mass of the sandbag.

To calculate acceleration, divide your weight by the mass, thus the accleration is:

$100N/100kg = 1(m/s^2)$
