Answer:

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

$s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}$

t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

d =v x t

$t = \dfrac{d}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}$

t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

T = 5.36 s

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities

borishaifa [10]

Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.

Two 1.0 cm * 2.0 cm rectangular electrodes are 1.0 mm apart. What charge must be placed on each electrode to create a uniform el

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> calculate the charge on each electrode

Given;

Electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

The distance between the electrode = 1mm = 1 X 10⁻³ m

Electric field strength (E) = Force (F)/Charge (q)

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

where;

E is the electric field strength = 2.0 X 10⁶ N/C

K is coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r is the distance between the electrodes = 1 X 10⁻³ m

q is the charge in each electrode = ?

$q = \frac{Er^2}{K} = \frac{(2X10^6)(1X10^{-3})^2}{8.99 X10 ^9}$ = 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

The charge on each electrode is 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the number of electrons to be moved from one electrode to the other.

1 electron contains 1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

So, 0.2225 X 10⁻⁹ C will contain how many electrons ?

= (0.2225 X 10⁻⁹)/(1.602 X 10⁻¹⁹)

= 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons

Therefore, the number of electrons that must be moved from one electrode to the other to accomplish this is 1.4 X 10⁹ electrons.

Which of the following choices concerning the net magnetic flux through any enclosed surface is true according to Gauss' law for

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.

Explanation:

As per Gauss law of magnetism we need to find the net magnetic flux through a closed loop

here we know that net magnetic flux is the scalar product of magnetic field vector and area vector

so here we have

$\int B. dA$ = net magnetic flux

since we know that magnetic field always forms closed loop so if we find the integral over a closed loop

then in that case the value of the close integral must be zero

so correct answer would be

e. The net magnetic flux in this case would be equal to zero.
