The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr

ound. To maximize the potential difference between one end of the fluorescent tube and the other, how should the tube be held

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

As the power lines  of ground are equal, so its electrical field is perpendicular to the ground and the equipotential surface is cylindrical. Therefore, if we put the position fluorescent tube parallel to the ground so the both ends of the tube lie on the same equipotential surface and the difference is zero when its  potential.

And the ends of the tube must be on separate equipotential surfaces to optimize potential. The surface near the power line has a greater potential value and the surface farther from the line has a lower potential value, so the tube must be placed perpendicular to the floor to maximize the potential difference.

uniform disk with mass 40.0 kg and radius 0.200 m is pivoted at its center about a horizontal, frictionless axle that is station
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is v= 0.868 m/s

The magnitude of the resultant acceleration at that point is  a = 4.057 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of the uniform disk is m_d = 40.0kg

       The radius of the uniform disk is R_d = 0.200m

       The force applied on the disk is F_d = 30.0N

Generally the angular speed i mathematically represented as

             w = \sqrt{2 \alpha  \theta}

Where \theta is the angular displacement given from the question as

           \theta  = 0.2000 rev = 0.2000 rev * \frac{2 \pi \ rad }{1 rev}

                 =1.257\  rad

   \alpha is the angular acceleration which is mathematically represented as

                    \alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of  \ inertia}  = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}

    The moment of inertial is mathematically represented as

                     I = \frac{1}{2} m_dR^2_d

Substituting values

                    I = 0.5 * 40 * 0.200^2

                        = 0.8kg \cdot m^2

Considering the equation for angular acceleration

               \alpha = \frac{torque }{moment \ of  \ inertia}  = \frac{F_d * R_d}{I}

Substituting values

               \alph\alpha = \frac{(30.0)(0.200)}{0.8}

                   = 7.5 rad/s^2

Considering the equation for angular velocity

    w = \sqrt{2 \alpha  \theta}

Substituting values

     w =\sqrt{2 * (7.5) * 1.257}

         = 4.34 \ rad/s

The tangential velocity of a given point on the rim is mathematically represented as

                 v = R_d w

Substituting values

                    = (0.200)(4.34)

                     v= 0.868 m/s

The radial acceleration at hat point  is mathematically represented as

            \alpha_r = \frac{v^2}{R}

                  = \frac{0.868^2}{0.200^2}

                 = 3.7699 \ m/s^2

The tangential acceleration at that point is mathematically represented as

               \alpha _t = R \alpha

Substituting values

           \alpha _t = (0.200) (7.5)

                 = 1.5 m/s^2

The magnitude of resultant acceleration at that point is

                 a = \sqrt{\alpha_r ^2+ \alpha_t^2 }

Substituting values

                a = \sqrt{(3.7699)^2 + (1.5)^2}

                   a = 4.057 m/s^2

Go outside on a clear night, wait 15 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the dark, and look carefully at the brightest stars. Som
Elden [556K]

Answer:

blue star is hotter than red

Explanation:

The colour of a star depends on its temperature.

Lesser the temperature means lesser be the energetic. less energy means longer wavelength. Between blue and red, red colour has longer wavelength. So, the red colored star is colder than blue coloured star.

Blue coloured star is hotter than red coloured star.
