Zarrin [17]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

The setup contains rock, cylinder, covering lid and atmosphere. One or a few may contribute to the loss of water.

They may be dry, so it might have absorbed water. The rock may be porous and absorb water due to gaps between its molecules.

The material used as lid to cover the cylinder may be not good enogh to stop water from evaporation. The cylinder you might have kept near a hot source and water may have converted water vapor.

A charge of 31.0 μC is to be split into two parts that are then separated by 24.0 mm, what is the maximum possible magnitude of
miskamm [114]

Answer:

1.72 x 10³ N.

Explanation:

When a charge is split equally and placed at a certain distance , maximum electrostatic force is possible.

So the charges will be each equal to

31/2 = 15.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

F = K Q q / r²

= \frac{9\times10^9\times(10.5)^2\times10^{-12}}{(24\times10^{-3})^2}

= 1.72 x 10³ N.

What are the physics terms behind watching TV?
GalinKa [24]
Everyone knows that one of their favorite past times is sitting in front of the television and watching movies, shows, or playing video games. However with this almost motionless, lazy activity comes a great deal of static physics and mechanics.

When you are sitting down enjoying whatever show it is you may be watching, you actually have several forces acting on you concurrently. For example, by sitting on the couch with no extra weight on you, your weight is equivalent to the normal force, or the force of the couch on you. In addition to the force of the couch of you, if you are leaning on an arm or laying down, a similar force acts on you, except at an angle or incline. The general rule for laying on the couch watching television is that whatever force you exert on an object, that object exerts the same force in the opposite direction, or 180 degrees around.

Find the radius Rrigel of the star Rigel, the bright blue star in the constellation Orion that radiates energy at a rate of 2.7×
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m

Explanation:

energy radiated (H) = 2.7 x 10^31 W

surface temperature (T)  = 11,000 k

assuming ε = 1 and taking σ = 5.67 x 10^{-8} W/m^{2}.K^{4}

we can find the radius of the star from the equation below

H = A x  ε x σ x T^{4}              

where area (A) = 4 x π x r^{2} (assuming it is a sphere)

therefore  the equation becomes

H = 4 x π x r^{2} x  ε x σ x T^{4}  

2.7 x 10^31  = 4 x π x r^{2} x  1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}

r = \sqrt{\frac{2.7 x 10^31}{4 x π x 1 x 5.67 x 10^{-8}  x (11,000)^{4}} }

r = 1.61 x 10^{11} m
