The speed of sound in air is approximately 350 m/s. You are sitting in a canyon with cliffs 525 m from you. You clap your hands.

How long a delay is it to hear an echo of the clap?

Answer:

3 s.

Explanation:

Echo is defined as the repetition of a sound produced by the reflection of sound waves from an obstructing surface like a wall, mountain etc.

v = f*lambda

Where,

Lambda = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/t

v = velocity of the wave.

Distance there and back = initial ditance * 2

= 525 x 2

= 1050.

Time taken, t = lamda/velocity

= 1050 / 350

= 3 s.

So the delay is 3 seconds.

An electron is released from rest at a distance of 0.470 m from a large insulating sheet of charge that has uniform surface char

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Part a)

$W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J$

Part b)

$v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma = 4.00 \times 10^{-12} C/m^2$

now the electric field is given as

$E = \frac{4.00 \times 10^{-12}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = 0.225 N/C$

Now acceleration of an electron due to this electric field is given as

$a = \frac{eE}{m}$

$a = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19})(0.225)}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

$a = 3.97 \times 10^{10}$

Now work done on the electron due to this electric field

$W = F.d$

$d = 0.470 - 0.03$

$d = 0.44 m$

So work done is given as

$W = (ma)(0.44)$

$W = (9.11 \times 10^{-31})(3.97 \times 10^{10})(0.44)$

$W = 1.58 \times 10^{-20} J$

Part b)

Now we know that work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the electron

so we will have

$W = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - 0$

$1.58 \times 10^{-20} = \frac{1}{2}(9.1\times 10^{-31})v^2$

$v = 1.86 \times 10^5 m/s$

denis23 [38]

The gravitational attraction between two planets is 4905.95 N

<h3>What is gravitational attraction?</h3>

When two objects with masses are placed at a distance, there will an attractive force acting between them.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is

F = Gm₁m₂ /r²

where r is the distance between the masses m₁ and m₂ and G is the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²

Substitute the values into the expression, we get

F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.25 x 10²⁰ x 6.20 x 10¹⁸ / (435,500 x 1000)²

F= 4905.95 N

Thus, the gravitational attraction between two planets is 4905.95 N.

4.72 A full-wave bridge-rectifier circuit with a 1-k load operates from a 120-V (rms) 60-Hz household supply through a 12-to-1 s

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

a) 12.74 V

b) Two pairs of diode will work only half of the cycle

c) 8.11 V

d) 8.11 mA

Explanation:

The voltage after the transformer is relationated with the transformer relationshinp:

$V_o=Vrms*\frac{1}{12}\\V_o=10Vrms$

the peak voltage before the bridge rectifier is given by:

$V_{op}=Vo*\sqrt{2}\\V_{op}=14.14V$

The diodes drop 0.7v, when we use a bridge rectifier only two diodes are working when the signal is positive and the other two when it's negative, so the peak voltage of the load is:

$V_l=V_{op}-2(0.7)\\V_l=12.74V$

As we said before only two diodes will work at a time, because the signal is half positive and half negative,so two of them will work only half of the cycle.

The averague voltage on a full wave rectifier is given by:

$V_{avg}=2*\frac{V_l}{\pi}\\V_{avg}=8.11V$

Using Ohm's law:

$I_{avg}=\frac{V_{avg}}{R}\\\\I_{avg}=8.11mA$
