A -1.12 μC charge is placed at the center of a conducting spherical shell, and a total charge of +8.65 μC is placed on the shell

itself. Calculate the total charge on the outer surface of the conductor.

Answer: 7.53 μC

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the gaussian law so we have:

∫E.dS=Qinside/εo we consider a gaussian surface inside the conducting spherical shell so E=0

Q inside= 0 = q+ Qinner surface=0

Q inner surface= 1.12μC so in the outer surface the charge is (8.65-1.12)μC=7.53μC

What is the amount of thermal energy needed to make 5 kg of ice at - 10 °C to

agasfer [191]

Answer:

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

Explanation:

By First Law of Thermodynamics, we see that amount of thermal energy ( $Q$ ), in joules, is equal to the change in internal energy. From statement we understand that change in internal energy consisting in two latent components ( $U_{l,ice}$ , $U_{l,steam}$ ), in joules, and two sensible component ( $U_{s,w}$ ), in joules, that is:

$Q = U_{l,ice} + U_{s, w} + U_{s,ice} + U_{l,steam}$ (1)

By definitions of Sensible and Latent Heat, we expanded the formula:

$Q = m\cdot (h_{f,w}+h_{v,w}+c_{ice}\cdot \Delta T_{ice}+c_{w}\cdot \Delta T_{w})$ (2)

Where:

$m$ - Mass, in kilograms.

$h_{f,w}$ - Latent heat of fussion of water, in joules per kilogram.

$h_{v,w}$ - Latent heat of vaporization of water, in joules per kilogram.

$c_{ice}$ - Specific heat of ice, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

$c_{w}$ - Specific heat of water, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius.

$\Delta T_{ice}$ - Change in temperature of ice, measured in degrees Celsius.

$\Delta T_{w}$ - Change in temperature of water, measured in degrees Celsius.

If we know that $m = 5\,kg$ , $h_{f,w} = 3.34\times 10^{5}\,\frac{J}{kg}$ , $h_{v,w} = 2.26\times 10^{6}\,\frac{J}{kg}$ , $c_{ice} = 2.090\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $c_{w} = 4.186\times 10^{3}\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}$ , $\Delta T_{ice} = 10\,^{\circ}C$ and $\Delta T_{w} = 100\,^{\circ}C$ , then the amount of thermal energy is:

$Q = 15167500\,J$

The amount of thermal energy needed is 15167500 joules.

A submarine is stranded on the bottom of the ocean with its hatch 21.0 m below the surface. calculate the force (in n) needed to

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

28,400 N

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating the pressure that acts on the upper surface of the hatch. It is given by the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the columb of water, which is given by Stevin's law:

$p_{top} = p_{atm} + \rho g h=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(21.0 m)=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa$

On the lower part of the hatch, there is a pressure equal to

$p_{bot}=p_{atm}=1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa$

So, the net pressure acting on the hatch is

$p=p_{top}-p_{bot}=3.071 \cdot 10^5 Pa - 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa=2.058 \cdot 10^5 Pa$

which acts from above.

The area of the hatch is given by:

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (\frac{0.420 m}{2})^2=0.138 m^2$

So, the force needed to open the hatch from the inside is equal to the pressure multiplied by the area of the hatch:

$F=pA=(2.058\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.138 m^2)=28,400 N$

Natalija [7]

The statement that best describes how the windmill technology benefits the environment is this: WINDMILLS DO NOT POLLUTE THE ENVIRONMENT.
Constructing a windmill involves harnessing the power of the wind to generate electricity. This type of electricity generation has no side effects whatsoever. It is environmental friendly and does not pollute the environment.
