Answer:

Explanation:

Given

q_1=11.5\ nC charge is placed at x=0\ cm

another charge of q_2=-1.2\ nC is at x=3\ cm

We know that Electric field due to positive charge is away  from it and Electric field due to negative charge is towards it.

so net electric field is zero somewhere beyond negatively charged particle

Electric Field due to q_2 at some distance r from it

E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}

Now Electric Field due to q_1 is

E_1=\frac{kq_1}{(3+r)^2}

Now E_1+E_2=0

\frac{k\times 11.5}{(r+3)^2}\frac{k\times (-1.2)}{r^2}=0

\frac{3+r}{r}=(\frac{11.5}{1.2})^{0.5}

\frac{3+r}{r}=3.095

thus r=1.43\ cm

Thus Electric field is zero at some distance r=1.43 cm right of q_2

A light bulb is switched on and within a few minutes its temperature becomes constant. Is it at equilibrium or steady state.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The temperature attains equilibrium with the surroundings.  

Explanation:

When the light bulb is lighted we know that it's temperature will go on increasing as the filament of the bulb has to  constantly dissipates energy during the time in which it is on. Now this energy is dissipated as heat as we know it, this heat energy is absorbed by the material of the bulb which is usually made up of glass, increasing it's temperature. Now we know that any object with temperature above absolute zero has to dissipate energy in form of radiations.

Thus we conclude that the bulb absorbs as well as dissipates it's absorbed thermal energy. we know that this rate is dependent on the temperature of the bulb thus it the temperature of the bulb does not change we can infer that an equilibrium has been reached in the above 2 processes i.e the rate of energy absorption equals the rate of energy dissipation.

Steady state is the condition when the condition does not change with time no matter whatever the surrounding conditions are.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Maximum Normal Stress σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = 4.08 Ksi

Explanation:

Outer diameter of spherical container D = 17 ft

Convert feet to inches D = 17 x 12 in = 204 inches

Wall thickness t = 0.375 in

Internal Pressure P = 60 Psi

Maximum Normal Stress σ = PD / 4t

σ = PD / 4t

σ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (4 x 0.375 in)

σ = 12,240 / 1.5

σ = 8,160 P/in

σ = 8.16 Ksi

Maximum Shearing Stress τ = PD / 8t

τ = PD / 8t

τ = (60 psi x 204 in) / (8 x 0.375 in)

τ = 12,240 / 3

τ = 4,080 P/in

τ = 4.08 Ksi

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%

Explanation:

Hello!

The first thing we must consider to solve this problem is the continuity equation that states that the amount of mass flow that enters a system is the same as what should come out.

m1=m2

Now remember that mass flow is given by the product of density, cross-sectional area and velocity

(α1)(V1)(A1)=(α2)(V2)(A2)

where

α=density

V=velocity

A=area

Now we can assume that the input and output areas are equal

(α1)(V1)=(α2)(V2)

\frac{V2}{V1} =\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2}

Now we can use the equation that defines the percentage of increase, in this case for speed

i=(\frac{V2}{V1} -1) 100

Now we use the equation obtained in the previous step, and replace values

i=(\frac{\alpha1 }{\alpha 2} -1) 100\\i=(\frac{1.2}{0.955} -1) 100=25.65

the percent increase in the velocity of air is 25.65%
