A long cylindrical capacitor is made of a central wire of radius a = 2.50 mm surrounded by a conducting shell of radius b = 7.50

asambeis [7]

Answer:

The capacitance per unit length is $5.06\times10^{-11}\ F/m$

(b) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius a= 2.50 mm

Radius b=7.50 mm

Dielectric constant = 3.68

Potential difference = 120 V

We need to calculate charge per length for the capacitance

Using formula of charge per length

$\lambda=\dfrac{4\pi\epsilon_{0}\Delta V}{2 ln(\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}})}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{120}{9\times10^{9}\times2 ln(\dfrac{7.50\times10^{-3}}{2.50\times10^{-3}})}$

$\lambda=6.068\times10^{-9}\ C/m$

We know that,

$\lambda=\dfrac{Q}{L}$

We need to calculate the capacitance per unit length

Using formula of capacitance per unit length

$C=\dfrac{\dfrac{Q}{L}}{\Delta V}$

$C=\dfrac{6.068\times10^{-9}}{120}$

$C=5.06\times10^{-11}\ F/m$

Hence, The capacitance per unit length is $5.06\times10^{-11}\ F/m$

Problem: Suppose that the rate of flow of water through a fire hose is 21.4 kg/s and the stream of water from the hose moves at

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The force exerted is 318.86 N

Explanation:

The force exerted by such a stream is calculated by multiplying the mass flow rate of water by the velocity of the stream of water.

mass flow rate = 21.4 kg/s

velocity = 14.9 m/s

Force exerted = 21.4 kg/s × 14.9 m/s = 318.86 kgm/s^2 = 318.86 N

A food packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. Assuming no drag (air fr

Leviafan [203]

1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s

The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration $a=g=9.8 m/s^2$ directed downward, initial vertical position $d=750 m$ , and initial vertical velocity $v_0 = 0$ . We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

$v_f^2 -v_i^2 =2ad$

substituting, we find

$v_f^2 = 2ad\\v_f = \sqrt{2ad}=\sqrt{2(9.8 m/s^2)(750 m)}=121.2 m/s$

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m

We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

$v_f=\frac{121.2 m/s}{2}=60.6 m/s$

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting $v_f$ with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

$v_f^2-v_i^2=2ad\\d=\frac{v_f^2}{2a}=\frac{(60.6 m/s)^2}{2(9.8 m/s^2)}=187.4 m$

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

$h=750 m-187.4 m=562.6 m$
