Answer:

Explanation:

Given

height of grand canyon is h=1800\ m

Rock is dropped i.e. initial velocity is zero

u=0

Using Equation of motion

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

h=height

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

here a=acceleration due to gravity

1800=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

t^2=\frac{2\times 1800}{9.8}

t=19.166\ s

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a)  0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b)  r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} }

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Multiply and divide by r1^{2}

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } x \frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = \frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

As we know from above, that:

\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } =  (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Then, Similarly,

\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } = (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

So,

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2}) + (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Now, for

d) Under what conditions,  E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x r1^{2} = - σ2 x r2^{2}

A person looking out the window of a stationary train notices that raindrops are falling vertically down at a speed of 3.84 m/s
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

the train is moving at the speed of v = 1.79 m/s

Explanation:

given,

rain drop is falling vertically down with the speed of  = 3.84 m/s

angle of the rain drop = 25°                      

tan θ = \dfrac{v}{u}                      

tan 25° = \dfrac{v}{3.84}                      

v =3.84 × tan 25°                      

v = 1.79 m/s                  

hence, the train is moving at the speed of v = 1.79 m/s
