Suppose a radio signal (light) travels from Earth and through space at a speed of 3 × 10^8/ (this is the speed of light in vacuu

m). How far (in meters) into space did the signal travel during the first 10 minutes?

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that

s=vt here v is the speed and s is distance covered by the signals

given data

v=3*10^8

t=10 min we have to convert it into seconds

1 minute=60 seconds

so

10 minutes =10*60/1 =600 seconds

now putting the value of v and t we can find the value of s

s=vt

s=3*10^8*600

s=1.8*10^11m

i hope this will help you

$T_2 = 0.592$

Explanation:

Given

$T_1 = 1.48s$

See attachment for connection

Determine the time constant in (b)

First, we calculate the total capacitance (C1) in (a):

The upper two connections are connected serially:

So, we have:

$\frac{1}{C_{up}} = \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$

Take LCM

$\frac{1}{C_{up}} = \frac{1+1}{C}$

$\frac{1}{C_{up}}= \frac{2}{C}$

Cross Multiply

$C_{up} * 2 = C * 1$

$C_{up} * 2 = C$

Make $C_{up}$ the subject

$C_{up} = \frac{1}{2}C$

The bottom two are also connected serially.

In other words, the upper and the bottom have the same capacitance.

So, the total (C) is:

$C_1 = 2 * C_{up}$

$C_1 = 2 * \frac{1}{2}C$

$C_1 = C$

The total capacitance in (b) is calculated as:

First, we calculate the parallel capacitance (Cp) is:

$C_p = C+C$

$C_p = 2C$

So, the total capacitance (C2) is:

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{C_p} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{2C} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}$

Take LCM

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1 + 2 + 2}{2C}$

$\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{5}{2C}$

Inverse both sides

$C_2 = \frac{2}{5}C$

Both (a) and (b) have the same resistance.

So:

We have:

Time constant is directional proportional to capacitance:

So:

$T\ \alpha\ C$

Convert to equation

$T\ =kC$

Make k the subject

$k = \frac{T}{C}$

$k = \frac{T_1}{C_1} = \frac{T_2}{C_2}$

$\frac{T_1}{C_1} = \frac{T_2}{C_2}$

Make T2 the subject

$T_2 = \frac{T_1 * C_2}{C_1}$

Substitute values for T1, C1 and C2

$T_2 = \frac{1.48 * \frac{2}{5}C}{C}$

$T_2 = \frac{1.48 * \frac{2}{5}}{1}$

$T_2 = \frac{0.592}{1}$

$T_2 = 0.592$

Hence, the time constance of (b) is 0.592 s

There is a parallel plate capacitor. Both plates are 4x2 cm and are 10 cm apart. The top plate has surface charge density of 10C

liberstina [14]

Answer:

1) The total charge of the top plate is 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate is -0.008 C

2) The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates is 0

3) The electric field between plates is approximately 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates is approximately 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The given parameters of the parallel plate capacitor are;

The dimensions of the plates = 4 × 2 cm

The distance between the plates = 10 cm

The surface charge density of the top plate, σ₁ = 10 C/m²

The surface charge density of the bottom plate, σ₂ = -10 C/m²

The surface area, A = 0.04 m × 0.02 m = 0.0008 m²

1) The total charge of the top plate, Q = σ₁ × A = 0.0008 m² × 10 C/m² = 0.008 C

b) The total charge of the bottom plate, Q = σ₂ × A = 0.0008 m² × -10 C/m² = -0.008 C

2) The electrical field at the point exactly midway between the plates is given as follows;

$V_{tot} = V_{q1} + V_{q2}$

$V_q = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{r}$

Therefore, we have;

The distance to the midpoint between the two plates = 10 cm/2 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

$V_{tot} = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} + \dfrac{k \cdot (-q)}{0.05} = \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} - \dfrac{k \cdot q}{0.05} = 0$

The electric field at the point exactly midway between the plates, $V_{tot}$ = 0

3) The electric field, 'E', between plates is given as follows;

$E =\dfrac{\sigma }{\epsilon_0 } = \dfrac{10 \ C/m^2}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2/(N\cdot m^2)} \approx 1.1294 \times 10^{12}\ N/C$

E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

The electric field between plates, E ≈ 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C

4) The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates

The charge on an electron, e = -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, $F_e$ = E × e

∴ $F_e$ = 1.1294 × 10¹² N/C × -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

The force on an electron in the middle of the two plates, $F_e$ ≈ 1.807 × 10⁻⁷ N

When the temperature of ice-cold water is increased slightly, does it undergo a net expansion or net contraction?

miss Akunina [59]

From the freezing temperature up to about 4°C (39°F) the water CONTRACTS. That is, it becomes MORE dense. I think I read that water is the ONLY known substance whose solid phase floats in its liquid phase. That's why the cubes float in your soda and bergs float in the ocean. And if weren't so, then life on Earth would not be possible ! Oceans and lakes would freeze from the bottom up, ONE TIME, and then never thaw again.
