A charge Q accumulates on the hollow metallic dome, of radius R, of a Van de Graaff generator. A probe measures the electric fie

ld strength at various points outside the sphere surface. By what factor will the electric field value at the 2R distance be changed if the charge value were increased to (4/3)Q?

Answer:

E'=(3/16)E

Explanation:

The electric field generated by a Van de Graff generator can be taken as the electric field generated by a hollow shell (for distance out of the shell):

E=k\frac{Q}{R^2}

Q: electric charge

K: Coulomb's constant

R: distance in which E is measured.

If the distance is increased to R'=2R, and the charge to Q'=(4/3)Q the new electric field is:

E'=k\frac{Q'}{R'^2}=k\frac{(3/4)Q}{(2R)^2}=\frac{3}{4}k\frac{Q}{4R^2}=\frac{3}{16}k\frac{Q}{R^2}=\frac{3}{16}E

hence, the new electric field E' is 3/16 times the previous electric field E

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

How many ohms of resistance must be present in a circuit that has 240 volts and a current of 15 amps?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

16 ohms

Explanation:

V= I ⋅ R

where,  V  is the net potential difference in the circuit,  I  is the current in the circuit and  R  is the net resistance of the circuit.  

In this case,  V = 240  volts,  I = 15  amperes.

240 = 15 ⋅ R  

⇒ R = 240/ 15 = 16  ohms

An air compressor compresses 6 L of air at 120 kPa and 22°C to 1000 kPa and 400°C. Determine the flow work, in kJ/kg, required b
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The work flow required by the compressor = 100.67Kj/kg

Explanation:

The solution to this question is obtained from the energy balance where the initial and final specific internal energies and enthalpies are taken from A-17 table from the given temperatures using interpolation .

The work flow can be determined using the equation:

M1h1 + W = Mh2

U1 + P1alph1 + ◇U + Workflow = U2 + P2alpha2

Workflow = P2alpha2 - P1alpha1

Workflow = (h2 -U2) - (h1 - U1)

Workflow = ( 684.344 - 491.153) - ( 322.483 - 229.964)

Workflow = ( 193.191 - 92.519)Kj/kg

Workflow = 100.672Kj/kg

A,b, e are complete. Help on the others would be so appreciated!!
bixtya [17]

Answer:

serie Ceq=0.678 10⁻⁶ F  and the charge Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

Let's calculate all capacity values

a) The equivalent capacitance of series capacitors

    1 / Ceq = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2 + 1 / C3 + 1 / C4 + 1 / C5

    1 / Ceq = 1 / 1.5 + 1 / 3.3 + 1 / 5.5 + 1 / 6.2 + 1 / 6.2

    1 / Ceq = 1 / 1.5 + 1 / 3.3 + 1 / 5.5 + 2 / 6.2

    1 / Ceq = 0.666 + 0.3030 +0.1818 +0.3225

    1 / Ceq = 1,147

    Ceq = 0.678 10⁻⁶ F

b) Let's calculate the total system load

   Dv = Q / Ceq

   Q = DV Ceq

   Q = 14 0.678 10⁻⁶

   Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

In a series system the load is constant in all capacitors, therefore, the load in capacitor 5.5 is Q = 9.49 10⁻⁶ C

c) The potential difference

   ΔV = Q / C5

   ΔV = 9.49 10⁻⁶ / 5.5 10⁻⁶

   ΔV = 1,725 ​​V

d) The energy stores is

    U = ½ C V²

    U = ½ 0.678 10-6 14²

    U = 66.4 10⁻⁶ J

e) Parallel system

   Ceq = C1 + C2 + C3 + C4 + C5

   Ceq = (1.5 +3.3 +5.5 +6.2 +6.2) 10⁻⁶

   Ceq = 22.7 10⁻⁶ F

f) In the parallel system the voltage is maintained

   Q5 = C5 V

   Q5 = 5.5 10⁻⁶ 14

   Q5 = 77 10⁻⁶ C

g) The voltage is constant V5 = 14 V

h) Energy stores

   U = ½ C V²

   U = ½ 22.7 10-6 14²

   U = 2.2 10⁻³ J
