The permittivity of free space is about :

<h3>8.8541878 × 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²</h3>

$\texttt{ }$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall the speed of light formula in vacuum as follows:

$\boxed {c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o \varepsilon_o}}}$

<em>where:</em>

<em>c = speed of light in vacuum ( m/s )</em>

<em>μo = the permeability constant of vacuum</em>

<em>εo = the permittivity of free space</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

$\texttt{ }$

<u>Given:</u>

speed of light in vacuum = c = 299 792 458 m/s

the permeability constant of vacuum = μo = 4π × 10⁻⁷ N s²/C²

<u>Asked:</u>

the permittivity of free space = εo = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We could calculate the value of εo by using following formula :</em>

$c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o \varepsilon_o}}$

$\sqrt{\mu_o \varepsilon_o} = \frac{1}{c}$

$\mu_o \varepsilon_o = = \frac{1}{c^2}$

$\varepsilon_o = \frac{1}{\,u_o c^2}$

$\varepsilon_o = \frac{1}{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times (299 \ 792 \ 458)^2}$

$\boxed {\varepsilon_o = 8.8541878 \times 10^{-12} \texttt{ C}^2/\texttt{Nm}^2}$ → (<em>rounded to eight significant figures)</em>

Explanation:

It is given that,

The speed of light in vacuum is, c = 299,792,458 m/s

The permeability constant of vacuum is, $\mu_o=4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2$

Let $\epsilon_o$ is the permittivity of free space. The relation between $\mu_o,\epsilon_o\ and\ c$ is given by :

$c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_o\epsilon_o}}$

$\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{c^2u_o}$

$\epsilon_o=\dfrac{1}{(299792458\ m/s)^2\times 4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N.s^2/C^2}$

$\epsilon_o=8.85\times 10^{-12}\ C^2/N.m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the magnitude of your displacement when you follow directions that tell you to walk 225 m in one direction, make a 90° t

Gekata [30.6K]

Start by facing East. Your first displacement is the vector

<em>d</em>₁ = (225 m) <em>i</em>

Turning 90º to the left makes you face North, and walking 350 m in this direction gives the second displacement,

<em>d</em>₂ = (350 m) <em>j</em>

Turning 30º to the right would have you making an angle of 60º North of East, so that walking 125 m gives the third displacement,

<em>d</em>₃ = (125 m) (cos(60º) <em>i</em> + sin(60º) <em>j</em> )

<em>d</em>₃ ≈ (62.5 m) <em>i</em> + (108.25 m) <em>j</em>

The net displacement is

<em>d</em> = <em>d</em>₁ + <em>d</em>₂ + <em>d</em>₃

<em>d</em> ≈ (287.5 m) <em>i</em> + (458.25 m) <em>j</em>

and its magnitude is

|| <em>d</em> || = √[ (287.5 m)² + (458.25 m)² ] ≈ 540.973 m ≈ 541 m

An 80.0 kg hiker walks a distance of 400.0 m along a road that slopes 5.0 degrees upward, and then stops. What is the hiker's fi

lana66690 [7]

The height difference is found by
$\delta H=400sin(5 \°)=34.86m$
Then the change in potential energy is
$E=mgh=(80.0kg)(9.8 \frac{kgm}{s^2})(34.86)= 27332J$

A 4kg block sitting on the floor, how much potential energy does it have?

prohojiy [21]

Well, there you have a very important principle wrapped up in that question.

There's actually no such thing as a real, actual amount of potential energy.
There's only potential <em><u>relative to some place</u></em>. It's the work you have to do
to lift the object from that reference place to wherever it is now. It's also
the kinetic energy the object would have if it fell down to the reference place
from where it is now.

Here's the formula for potential energy: PE = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em><u>height</u></em><u>)</u> .

So naturally, when you use that formula, you need to decide "height above what ?"

If you're reading a book while you're flying in a passenger jet, the book's PE is
(M x G x 0 meters) relative to your lap, (M x G x 1 meter) relative to the floor of the
plane, (M x G x 10,000 meters) relative to the ground, and maybe (M x G x 25,000 meters)
relative to the bottom of the ocean.

Let's say that gravity is 9.8 m/s² .

Then a 4kg block sitting on the floor has (39.2 x 0 meters) PE relative to the floor
it's sitting on, also (39.2 x 3 meters) relative to the floor that's one floor downstairs,
also (39.2 x 30 meters) relative to 10 floors downstairs, and if it's on the top floor of
the Amoco/Aon Center in Chicago, maybe (39.2 x 345 meters) relative to the floor
in the coffee shop that's off the lobby on the ground floor.

$115.82654\ in^3$

78.38779 m/s

0.88159 kg

34.55294 J

Explanation:

Circumference is given by

$c=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{c}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{19}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=3.02394\ in$

Diameter is given by

$d=2r\\\Rightarrow d=2\times 3.02394\\\Rightarrow d=6.04788\ in$

The diameter is 6.04788 in

$6.04788\times 2.54=15.3616152\ cm$

Volume of sphere is given by

$v=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi 3.02394^3\\\Rightarrow v=115.82654\ in^3$

The volume is $115.82654\ in^3$

$115.82654\times \dfrac{1}{1728}=0.06702\ ft^3$

Fall velocity is given by

$V=k\sqrt{d}\\\Rightarrow V=20\sqrt{15.3616152}\\\Rightarrow V=78.38779\ m/s$

The velocity of the fall will be 78.38779 m/s

Mass is given by

$m=\rho v\\\Rightarrow m=29\times 0.06702\\\Rightarrow m=1.94358\ lb$

$1.94358\ lb=1.94358\times \dfrac{1}{2.20462}=0.88159\ kg$

The mass is 0.88159 kg

Kinetic energy is given by

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}0.88159\times 78.38779\\\Rightarrow K=34.55294\ J$

The kinetic energy is 34.55294 J
