Watt is a measure of power ie Energy/Second.

So if you multiply the number of watts by the number of seconds, you get the amount of (2) Energy

A sound wave moving with a speed of 1500 m/s is sent from a submarine to the ocean floor. It reflects off the

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s

time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s

The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

$time \ of \ motion \ (t) = \frac{total \ distance }{speed \ of \ wave} = \frac{2d}{v} \\\\2d = vt\\\\d = \frac{vt}{2} \\\\d = \frac{1500 \times 15}{2} \\\\d = 11,250 \ m$

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m

A cylindrical capacitor has an inner conductor of radius 2.7 mmmm and an outer conductor of radius 3.1 mmmm. The two conductors

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

(A) Capacitance per unit length = $4.02 \times 10^{-10}$

(B) The magnitude of charge on both conductor is $Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19}$ C and the sign of charge on inner conductor is $+Q$ and the sign on outer conductor is $-Q$

Explanation:

Given :

Radius of inner part of conductor $(R_{1})$ = $2.7 \times 10^{-3}$ m

Radius of outer part of conductor $(R_{2})$ = $3.1 \times 10^{-3}$ m

The length of the capacitor $(l)$ = $3 \times 10^{-3}$ m

(A)

Capacitance is purely geometrical property. It depends only on length, radius of conductor.

From the formula of cylindrical capacitor,

$C = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} l }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }$

Where, $\epsilon_{o} = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

But we need capacitance per unit length so,

$\frac{C}{l} = \frac{2\pi\epsilon_{o} }{ln\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } }$

capacitance per unit length = $\frac{6.28 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} }{ln(1.148)} = 4.02 \times 10^{-10}$

(B)

The charge on both conductors is given by,

$Q = C \Delta V$

Where, C = capacitance of cylindrical capacitor and value of $C = 12.06 \times 10^{-13}$ F, $\Delta V = 350 \times 10^{-3}$ V

∴ $Q = 4.22 \times 10^{-19}$ C

The magnitude of charge on both conductor is same as above but the sign of charge is different.

Charge on inner conductor is $+Q$ and Charge on outer conductor is $-Q$ .

The intensity of the Sun's light in the vicinity of the Earth is about 1000W/m^2. Imagine a spacecraft with a mirrored square sa

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Formula to represent thrust is as follows.

F = $\frac{dP}{dt}$

= $\frac{2p}{dt}$

or, p = $\frac{E}{c}$

$\frac{p}{dt} = \frac{W}{c}$

F = $\frac{2IA}{c}$

= $\frac{2 (1000 W/m^{2})(5.5 \times 10^{3} m)^{2}}{3 \times 10^{8} m/s}$

= 201.67 N

Thus, we can conclude that the thrust is 201.67 N.

How much acceleration can most humans stand before they pass out?

kumpel [21]

Normal humans can withstand no more than 9 g's, and even that for only a few seconds. When undergoing an acceleration of 9 g's, your body feels nine times heavier than usual, blood rushes to the feet, and the heart can't pump hard enough to bring this heavier blood to the brain.

What three assumptions about particles in a gas are made by the kinetic theory?

aliya0001 [1]

The simplest kinetic model is based on the assumptions that: (1) the gas is composed of a large number of identical molecules moving in random directions, separated by distances that are large compared with their size; (2) the molecules undergo perfectly elastic collisions (no energy loss) with each other and with the walls of the container, but otherwise do not interact; and (3) the transfer of kinetic energy between molecules is heat.
