With fuel prices for combustible engine automobiles increasing, researchers and manufacturers have given more attention to the c

oncept of an ultralight car. Using carbon composites, lighter steels, and plastics, a fuel-efficient car can be manufactured at 540 kg. How much less does an ultralight car weigh compared to a 1450-kg Honda Accord (2007)

Answer:

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

Explanation:

An object's weigh due to the gravitational attraction force of the earth is:

w = mg

Where: m is the object's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration in the surface earth

g = 9.8 m/s2

The the ultralight car's weight is:

$w_{uc} = (540)(9.8)$

$w_{uc} = 5292 N$

And the Honda Accord's weight is:

$w_{HA} = (1450)(9.8)$

$w_{HA} = 14210 N$

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

Calculate the frequencies corresponding to the wavelengths 500.00 nm and 500.10 nm. Use these to check the accuracy of equation

mel-nik [20]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength, $\lambda_1=500\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Wavelength, $\lambda_2=500.10\ nm=5.001\times 10^{-7}\ m$

We need to find the frequencies from corresponding wavelengths. The frequency of the light is given by :

$f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}$

c is the speed of light

Frequency 1,

$f_1=\dfrac{c}{\lambda_1}$

$f_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{-7}\ m}$

$f_1=6\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Frequency 2,

$f_2=\dfrac{c}{\lambda_2}$

$f_1=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5.001\times 10^{-7}\ m}$

$f_1=5.99\times 10^{14}\ Hz$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

Explanation:

Given:

side of a square, $a=52.5\ cm$

charge on one corner of the square, $q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square, $q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C$

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u> $=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals$

$diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}$

$diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m$

∴Distance of center from corners, $b=0.3712\ m$

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}$

<u>For charge $q_1$ we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

$E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

$E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}$

$E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}$

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>

$E_y=E_1-E_4$

$E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}$

<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>

$E_y=E_2-E_3$

$E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}$

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge $q_1$ .

1.Differentiate between heat and temperature. Use an everyday situation to supplement your answer.

enot [183]

Answer: Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules (how hot or cold something feels). Heat energy is the energy created y the motion of the molecules in an object. Heat flows from hot body to cold body. Temperature rises when heated and falls down when an object is cooled down.

There are three main scales commonly used in the world today to measure temperature: the Fahrenheit (°F) scale, the Celsius (°C) scale, and the Kelvin (K) scale. Each of these scales uses a different set of divisions based on different reference points, as described in detail below.

Why isn't Coulomb's law valid for dielectric objects, even if they are spherically symmetrical?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

The "traditional" form of Coulomb's law, explicitly the force between two point charges. To establish a similar relationship, you can use the integral form for a continuous charge distribution and calculate the field strength at a given point.

In the case of moving charges, we are in presence of a current, which generates magnetic effects that in turn exert force on moving charges, therefore, no longer can consider only the electrostatic force.
