Answer:

The neutrinos are produced in the core of the sun by nuclear fusion and measuring their number helps us confirm that there are enough proton-proton chain reactions of each which produce a neutrino and going on in the Sun's core to explain the energy output of the Sun.

The electric flux through a square-shaped area of side 5 cm near a very large, thin, uniformly-charged sheet is found to be 3\ti

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

side of square shape $a=5\ cm$

Electric flux $\phi =3\times 10^{-5}\ N.m^2/C$

Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12} \frac{C^2}{N.m^2}$

Flux is given by

$\phi =EA\cos \theta$

where E=electric field strength

A=area

$\theta$ =Angle between Electric field and area vector

$E=\frac{\phi }{A\cos (0)}$

$E=\frac{3\times 10^{-5}}{25\times 10^{-4}\times \cos(0)}$

$E=0.012\ N/C$

and Electric field by a uniformly charged sheet is given by

$E=\frac{\sigma }{2\epsilon_0}$

where $\sigma$ =charge density

$=\frac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma =0.012\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma =2.12\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^2$

There is an electric field in the region between the two plates. The magnitude of this electric field is ed. This imposes anothe

krok68 [10]

Answer:

it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

Explanation:

The configuration of parallel plates is called a capacitor and is widely used to create constant electric fields inside.

To obtain this field it is essential that the charge on the plates are of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction

This is so that the fields created by each plate can be added inside and subtracted from the outside of the plates

A 38.5kg man is in an elevator accelerating downward. A normal force of 343n pushes up on him. what is his acceleration?

alexira [117]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{343}{38.5} = \frac{98}{11} \\ = 8.909090...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?

Colt1911 [192]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.

Where are the sun's rays the strongest, which makes the ocean water the warmest ?

IgorC [24]

The Gamma Rays are the strongest. This would be located near the core of the sun. What makes ocean water the warmest depends on the season we are in. This is all due to the energy input into the sun.
