Answer:

<u>Very low</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is fair to say to a reasonable extent that there are very low chances that radio transmissions from Earth or messages sent on distant space probes will ever be received by living beings .

Bear in mind that for years some scientists have believed without any substantial evidence that there are other living beings in distant space.

Coulomb’s law and static point charge ensembles (15 points). A test charge of 2C is located at point (3, 3, 5) in Cartesian coor

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a) $F_{r}= -583.72MN i + 183.47MN j + 6.05GN k$

b) $E=3.04 \frac{GN}{C}$

Step-by-step explanation.

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by plotting the given points and charges. That will help us visualize the problem better and determine the direction of the forces (see attached picture).

Once we drew the points, we can start calculating the forces:

$r_{AP}^{2}=(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{AP}^{2}= 43 m^{2}$

(I will assume the positions are in meters)

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F=k_{e}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

so we substitute the values:

$F_{AP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(1C)(2C)}{43m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{AP}=418.14 MN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{APx}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}i$

$F_{APx}=191.30 MNi$

$F_{APy}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}j$

$F_{APy}=191.30MN j$

$F_{APz}=418.14 MN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{43}}k$

$F_{APz}=318.83 MN k$

And we can now write them together for the first force, so we get:

$F_{AP}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{BP}^{2}=(3-1)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{BP}^{2}= 33 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{BP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(4C)(2C)}{33m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{BP}=2.18 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{BPx}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}i$

$F_{BPx}=758.98 MNi$

$F_{BPy}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}j$

$F_{BPy}=758.98MN j$

$F_{BPz}=2.18 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{33}}k$

$F_{BPz}=1.897 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the second, so we get:

$F_{BP}=(758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{CP}^{2}=(3-5)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{CP}^{2}= 30 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{CP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(7C)(2C)}{30m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{CP}=4.20 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{CPx}=4.20 GN*\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}i$

$F_{CPx}=-1.534 GNi$

$F_{CPy}=4.20 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}j$

$F_{CPy}=-766.81 MN j$

$F_{CPz}=4.20 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{30}}k$

$F_{CPz}=3.83 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the third force, so we get:

$F_{CP}=(-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So in order to find the resultant force, we need to add the forces together:

$F_{r}=F_{AP}+F_{BP}+F_{CP}$

so we get:

$F_{r}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN + (758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN + (-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So when adding the problem together we get that:

$F_{r}=(-0.583.72i + 0.18347j +6.05k)GN$

which is the answer to part a), now let's take a look at part b).

b)

Basically, we need to find the magnitude of the force and divide it into the test charge, so we get:

$F_{r}=\sqrt{(-0.583.72)^{2} + (0.18347)^{2} +(6.05)^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{r}=6.08 GN$

and now we take the formula for the electric field which is:

$E=\frac{F_{r}}{q}$

so we go ahead and substitute:

$E=\frac{6.08GN}{2C}$

$E=3.04\frac{GN}{C}$

The efficiency of a modern bicycle is 95% if you exert 200 Joules of input work pedaling a bicycle on level ground what is the u

Delvig [45]

Answer:

95 J

Explanation:

You can calculate efficiency by dividing useful output by total input, then multiplying it to 100.

So the foumula goes like:

Efficiency= (Useful output/Total input)x100

In this question,

Efficiency= 95%

Useful output= x

Total input= 200

Therefore;

95=(x/200)x100

0.95=x/100

x=0.95x100

x=95 Joules

What are the difference between conductor and insulator?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.
