Answer:

If we consider a system where the y-axis as the South-North line, and the x-axis as the West-East line (where North and East are the positive sides)

We know that the sun goes from East to West, so in our system, the sun goes from the positive side of the x-axis to the negative side of the x-axis.

Where we would see this if we were standing right in the equator line.

If we where in other point of the planet, the Sun will stil move from East to West, but it will have a little tilt along the path, so we will have a little displacement in the y-axis. This displacement will depend on where we are, if we are at the North of the equator, we will se that the sun seems to go a little towards South as it goes to the West side.

. A vertical electric field is set up in space to compensate for the gravitational force on a point charge. What is the required

Delicious77 [7]

(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.

(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.

<h3>Magnitude of electric field </h3>

The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.

F = qE

But F = mg

mg = qE

E = mg/q

where;

E is the electric field
m is mass of the particle
g is acceleration due to gravity
q is charge of the particle

<h3>For an electron</h3>

E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C

<h3>For proton</h3>

E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C

Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.

A 60 kg acrobat is in the middle of a 10 m long tightrope. The center of the rope dropped 30 cm in relation to the ends that are

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N

Explanation:

The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg

The length of the rope, l = 10 m

The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope

Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

∴ W = m × g

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N

The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;

θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, $\Sigma F_y$ = 0

The vertical component of the tension, $T_y$ , in each half of the rope is given as follows;

$T_y$ = T × sin(θ)

∴ $\Sigma F_y$ = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)

Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;

588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0

∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N

-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N

The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.

Consider a sphere and a cylinder of equal volume made of copper. Both the sphere and the cylinder are initially at the same temp

zepelin [54]

Answer: The cylinder

Explanation:

Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.

By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.

Recall;

That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.

Where ,

h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer

A= the cross sectional area.

As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.

Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.

PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.

Density = (mass) / (volume)
4,000 kg/m³ = (mass) / (0.09 m³)

mass = 360 kg
force of gravity = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) = (360 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = (360 x 9.8) kg-m<span>/s² </span><span>= </span>3,528 newtons .
