Answer:

150.8 J

Explanation:

The heat released by the copper wire is given by:

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where:

m = 10.0 g is the mass of the wire

Cs = 0.377 j/(g.C) is the specific heat capacity of copper

$\Delta T=40.0 C - 80.0 C=-40.0 C$ is the change in temperature of the wire

Substituting into the equation, we find

$Q=(10.0 g)(0.377 J/gC)(-40.0^{\circ})=-150.8 J$

And the sign is negative because the heat is released by the wire.

A very long insulating cylinder has radius R and carries positive charge distributed throughout its volume. The charge distribut

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

1. $E(r) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}(2 - \frac{r}{R})$

2. $E(r) = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{\alpha R}{r}$

3.The results from part 1 and 2 agree when r = R.

Explanation:

The volume charge density is given as

$\rho (r) = \alpha (1-\frac{r}{R})$

We will investigate this question in two parts. First r < R, then r > R. We will show that at r = R, the solutions to both parts are equal to each other.

1. Since the cylinder is very long, Gauss’ Law can be applied.

$\int {\vec{E}} \, d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}$

The enclosed charge can be found by integrating the volume charge density over the inner cylinder enclosed by the imaginary Gaussian surface with radius ‘r’. The integration of E-field in the left-hand side of the Gauss’ Law is not needed, since E is constant at the chosen imaginary Gaussian surface, and the area integral is

$\int\, da = 2\pi r h$

where ‘h’ is the length of the imaginary Gaussian surface.

$Q_{enc} = \int\limits^r_0 {\rho(r)h} \, dr = \alpha h \int\limits^r_0 {(1-r/R)} \, dr = \alpha h (r - \frac{r^2}{2R})\left \{ {{r=r} \atop {r=0}} \right. = \alpha h (\frac{2Rr - r^2}{2R})\\E2\pi rh = \alpha h \frac{2Rr - r^2}{2R\epsilon_0}\\E(r) = \alpha \frac{2R - r}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}\\E(r) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}(2 - \frac{r}{R})$

2. For r> R, the total charge of the enclosed cylinder is equal to the total charge of the cylinder. So,

$Q_{enc} = \int\limits^R_0 {\rho(r)h} \, dr = \alpha \int\limits^R_0 {(1-r/R)h} \, dr = \alpha h(r - \frac{r^2}{2R})\left \{ {{r=R} \atop {r=0}} \right. = \alpha h(R - \frac{R^2}{2R}) = \alpha h\frac{R}{2} \\E2\pi rh = \frac{\alpha Rh}{2\epsilon_0}\\E(r) = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{\alpha R}{r}$

3. At the boundary where r = R:

$E(r=R) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}(2 - \frac{r}{R}) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\\E(r=R) = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{\alpha R}{r} = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}$

As can be seen from above, two E-field values are equal as predicted.

For Mass

K.E = (1/2*mv^2)

Explanation:

Kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

1. A 2.5 kg led projector is launched as a projectile off a tall building. At one point, as it

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I got everything but i. Don't know why but it's eluding me. So let's do everything but that.

a. PE = mgh so

PE = (2.5)(98)(14) and

PE = 340 J

b. $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ so

$KE=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(14)^2$ and

KE = 250 J

c. TE = KE + PE so

TE = 340 + 250 and

TE = 590 J

d. PE at 8.7 m:

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(8.7) and

PE = 210 J

e. The KE at the same height:

TE = KE + PE and

590 = KE + 210 so

KE = 380 J

f. The velocity at that height:

$380=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(380)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 17 m/s

g. The velocity at a height of 11.6 m (these get a bit more involed as we move forward!). First we need to find the PE at that height and then use it in the TE equation to solve for KE, then use the value for KE in the KE equation to solve for velocity:

590 = KE + PE and

PE = (2.5)(9.8)(11.6) so

PE = 280 then

590 = KE + 280 so

KE = 310 then

$310=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)v^2$ and

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2(310)}{2.5} }$ so

v = 16 m/s

h. This one is a one-dimensional problem not using the TE. This one uses parabolic motion equations. We know that the initial velocity of this object was 0 since it started from the launcher. That allows us to find the time at which the object was at a velocity of 26 m/s. Let's do that first:

$v=v_0+at$ and

26 = 0 + 9.8t and

26 = 9.8t so the time at 26 m/s is

t = 2.7 seconds. Now we use that in the equation for displacement:

Δx = $v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the time the object was at 26 m/s:

Δx = 0t + $\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)2.7)^2$ so

Δx = 36 m

i. ??? In order to find the velocity at which the object hits the ground we would need to know the initial height so we could find the time it takes to hit the ground, and then from there, sub all that in to find final velocity. In my estimations, we have 2 unknowns and I can't seem to see my way around that connundrum.
