The difference in electric potential between a thunder cloud and the ground is 1.53 108 V. Electrons move from the ground which

is at a lower potential to the cloud which is at a higher potential. Determine the change in electric potential energy of one of the electrons that move to the cloud.

Answer:

=−2.451 330 152 1*10^27J

Explanation:

The electric potential=the Voltage * Charge:

E = VQ

V = 1.53x10^8 V (positive, because the cloud has a higher potential)

Q = -1.60217657 x10^19 C (the charge of an electron)

E = (1.53x10^8 V )* (-1.60217657 x10^19 C)

E=−2.451 330 152 1*10^27J

The negative sign indicates that the potential energy is decreased by the movement of the electron.

I kinda don’t know how to solve this I need help.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

the answer is 11 N left

Explanation:

there is more force being applied in the direction left, so the ball will move left. to find the net force that the ball will move in that direction subtract the force being applied in the opposite direction. so, 16N-5N=11N. your answer in 11 N left.

Water is being boiled in an open kettle that has a 0.52-cm-thick circular aluminum bottom with a radius of 12.0 cm. If the water

tangare [24]

Answer:

$T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C$

Explanation:

Given:

thickness of the base of the kettle, $dx=0.52\ cm=5.2\times 10^{-3}\ m$

radius of the base of the kettle, $r=0.12\ m$

temperature of the top surface of the kettle base, $T_t=100^{\circ}C$

rate of heat transfer through the kettle to boil water, $\dot Q=0.409\ kg.min^{-1}$

We have the latent heat vaporization of water, $L=2260\times 10^3\ J.kg^{-1}$

and thermal conductivity of aluminium, $k=240\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

<u>So, the heat rate:</u>

$\dot Q=\frac{0.409\times 2260000}{60}$

$\dot Q=15405.67\ W$

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction we have:</u>

$\dot Q=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$

$\dot Q=k\times \pi.r^2\times \frac{T_b-T_t}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}$

where:

$A=$ area of the surface through which conduction occurs

$T_b=$ temperature of the bottom surface

$15405.67=240\times \pi\times 0.12^2\times \frac{T_b-100}{5.2\times 10^{-3}}$

$T_b=107.3784\ ^{\circ}C$ is the temperature of the bottom of the base surface of the kettle.

Some of the highest tides in the world occur in the Bay of Fundy on the Atlantic Coast of Canada. At Hopewell Cape the water dep

Nady [450]

Answer:

(a) 1.939 m/h

(b) 0.926 m/h

(c) -0.315 m/h

(d) -1.21 m/h

Explanation:

Here, we have the water depth given by the function of time;

D(t) = 7 + 5·cos[0.503(t-6.75)]

Therefore, to find the velocity of the depth displacement with time, we differentiate the given expression with respect to time as follows;

D'(t) = $\frac{d(7 + 5\cdot cos[0.503(t-6.75)])}{dt}$

= 5×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))×0.503

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))

= -2.515×(-sin(0.503×t-3.395))

Therefore we have;

(a) at 5:00 AM = 5 - 0:00 = 5

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×5-3.395)) = 1.939 m/h

(b) at 6:00 AM = 6 - 0:00 = 6

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×6-3.395)) = 0.926 m/h

(c) at 7:00 AM = 7 - 0:00 = 7

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×7-3.395)) = -0.315 m/h

(d) at Noon 12:00 PM = 12 - 0:00 = 12

D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×12-3.395)) = -1.21 m/h.

12. A rocket, initially at rest on the ground, accelerates vertically. It accelerates uniformly until it

vodomira [7]

Answer:

We kindly invite you to read carefully the explanation and check the image attached below.

Explanation:

According to this problem, the rocket is accelerated uniformly due to thrust during 30 seconds and after that is decelerated due to gravity. The velocity as function of initial velocity, acceleration and time is:

$v_{f} = v_{o}+a\cdot (t-t_{o})$ (1)

Where:

$v_{o}$ - Initial velocity, measured in meters per second.

$v_{f}$ - Final velocity, measured in meters per second.

$a$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$t_{o}$ - Initial time, measured in seconds.

$t$ - Final time, measured in seconds.

Now we obtain the kinematic equations for thrust and free fall stages:

Thrust ( $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = 30\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $t_{o} = 0\,s$ , $0\,s\le t< 30\,s$ )

$v = 30\cdot t$ (2)

Free fall ( $v_{o} = 900\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $a = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $t_{o} = 30\,s$ , $30\,s \le t \le 120\,s$ )

$v = 900-9.81\cdot (t-30)$ (3)

Now we created the graph speed-time, which can be seen below.
