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>

\texttt{ }

<h3>Conclusion :</h3>

The permittivity of free space is about :

<h3>8.8541878 × 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²</h3>

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.

A body is dropped from the roof of a 20 m high building by how much:
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

t = 2.01 s

Vf = 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

It's know through the International System that the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², then we have;

Data:

  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = ?
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

==================================================================

Time

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

Everything inside the root is solved first. So, we solve the multiplication of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{40m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{4.08s}}

The square root is performed:

  • \boxed{t=2.01s}

==================================================================

Final Velocity

use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 2.01 s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 19.7 m/s

==================================================================

How long does it take to reach the ground?

Takes time to reach the ground in <u>2.01 seconds.</u>

How fast does it hit the ground?

Hits the ground with a speed of <u>19.7 meters per seconds.</u>

A certain spring has a spring constant k1 = 660 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 35 cm. The spring constant the
pantera1 [17]

(a) The equation for the work done in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is ¹/₂K₂Δx².

(b) The work done, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2 is 11.25 J.

(c) The work, necessary to stretch the spring from x = 0 to x3 is 64.28 J.

<h3>Work done in the spring</h3>

The work done in stretching the spring is calculated as follows;

W = ¹/₂kx²

W(1 to 2) = ¹/₂K₂Δx²

W(1 to 2)  =  ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)²

W(1 to 2)  = 11.25 J

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂k₁x₁² + ¹/₂k₂x₂² + ¹/₂F₃x₃

W(0  to 3) = ¹/₂(660)(0.35)² + ¹/₂(250)(0.65 - 0.35)² + ¹/₂(105)(0.89 - 0.65)

W(0  to 3) = 64.28 J

The space shuttle usually orbited Earth at altitudes of around 300.0 km. 1) Determine the time for one orbit of the shuttle abou
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

distance of shuttle from centre of the earth = radius of the orbit

= 6300 + 300 = 6600 km

= 6600 x 10³

Formula of time period of the satellite

T = 2π R /v₀ , v₀ is orbital velocity

v₀ = √gR , ( if height  is small with respect to radius )

T = 2π R /√gR

= 2π√ R /√g

= 2 x 3.14 x √ 6600 x 10³ / √9.8

= 2 x 3.14 x 256.9 x 10 / 3.13

= 5154.41 s

= 5154.41 / 60 minutes

= 85.91 m

85.9 minutes.

2 ) No of sunrise per day = no of rotation per day

= 24 x 60 / 85.9

= 16.76

or 17 sunrises.

Suppose two wagons, one with twice as much mass as the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Th
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The heavier wagon rolls 1/2 as fast as the lighter wagon.

Explanation:

When the compressed spring that joins them is released then the force acts on both wagons will be of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction. However as the mass of one wagon is twice that of other, so the acceleration  will become half of the heavier wagon in comparison with lighter one.
