A block floats partially submerged in a container of liquid. When the entire container is accelerated upward, which of the follo

wing happens? Assume that both the liquid and the block areincompressible.
(A) The block descends down lower into the liquid.(B) The block ascends up higher in the liquid.(C) The block does not ascend nor descend in the liquid.
(D) The answer depends on the direction of motion of the container.(E) The answer depends on the rate of change of the acceleration

Answer:C

Explanation:

Partially submerged block along with vessel is accelerated upwards .

Initially the block weight is supported by buoyant force such that it is in equilibrium.

when the system start accelerating upwards then the effective gravity will be

g+a where a is the acceleration of the system.

so only net gravity is increased so block will not ascend or descend.

Mathematically

$F_b=weight$

$\rho _L\cdot V\cdot (g+a)=m(g+a)$

where $\rho _L=$ density of liquid

V=volume of object inside the water

A uniformly charged rod (length = 2.0 m, charge per unit length = 3.0 nc/m) is bent to form a semicircle. What is the magnitude

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

84.82N/C.

Explanation:

The x-components of the electric field cancel; therefore, we only care about the y-components.

The y-component of the differential electric field at the center is

$dE = \frac{kdQ }{R^2} sin(\theta )$ .

Now, let us call $\lambda$ the charge per unit length, then we know that

$dQ = \lambda Rd\theta$ ;

therefore,

$dE = \frac{k \lambda R d\theta }{R^2} sin(\theta )$

$dE = \frac{k \lambda d\theta }{R} sin(\theta )$

Integrating

$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}\int_0^\pi sin(\theta )d\theta$

$E = \frac{k \lambda }{R}*[-cos(\pi )+cos(0) ]$

$E = \frac{2k \lambda }{R}.$

Now, we know that

$\lambda = 3.0*10^{-9}C/m,$

$k = 9*10^9kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^{-2},$

and the radius of the semicircle is

$\pi R = 2.0m,\\\\R = \dfrac{2.0m}{\pi };$

therefore,

$E = \frac{2(9*10^9) (3.0*10^{-9}) }{\dfrac{2.0}{\pi } }.$

$\boxed{E = 84.82N/C.}$

In a thunderstorm, electric charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. Thus, the charge can be considere

muminat

Answer:

$2.1\cdot 10^{21}$ electrons

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field outside an electrically charged sphere is given by the equation

$E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge stored on the sphere

r is the distance (from the centre of the sphere) at which the field is calculated

In this problem, the cloud is assumed to be a charged sphere, so we have:

$E_b=3.00\cdot 10^6 N/C$ is the maximum electric field strength tolerated by the air before breakdown occurs

$r=1.00 km = 1000 m$ is the radius of the sphere

Re-arranging the equation for Q, we find the maximum charge that can be stored on the cloud:

$Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^6)(1000)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}=333.3 C$

Assuming that the cloud is negatively charged, then

$Q=-333.3 C$

And since the charge of one electron is

$e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

The number of excess electrons on the cloud is

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{-333.3}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.1\cdot 10^{21}$

State one advantage and one disadvantage of using a plane mirrior as a driving mirrior

____ [38]

1). one disadvantage as using it is because it covers far less space. this would make much more blind spots. 2. the advantage of them is that they don't lie about the distances. the current convex mirrors we have in out cars right now, is that the imagine might look father or closer than they appear, which can be troubling at times.

plan mirrors are flat, car mirrors are convex.
