You have a horizontal cathode ray tube (CRT) for which the controls have been adjusted such that the electron beam should make a

single spot of light exactly in the center of the screen. You observe however that the spot is deflected to the right. It is possible that the CRT is broken. But as a clever scientist you realize that your laboratory might be in teh middle of a electric or magnetic field. Assuming that you do not have a compass, anymagnets, or any charged rods, how do you use the CRT itself to determine if the CRT is broken, in an electric field, or in a magnetic field?You cannot remove the CRT from the room>

Answer:

Explanation:

Rotate it slowly to establish whether the spot moves. If it is broken, it will stay as it is. By rotating it the electrons' path to the centre of the screen will be tilted to another position by any external disturbing field.

A positive point charge q is placed at the center of an uncharged metal sphere insulated from the ground. The outside of the sph
kenny6666 [7]

Explanation:

the missing figure in the Question has been put in the attachment.

Then from the figure we can observe that

the center of the sphere is positive, therefore, negative charge will be  induced at A.

As B is grounded there will not be any charge on B

Hence the answer is A is negative and B is charge less.

The average power dissipated in a 47 ω resistor is 2.0 w. what is the peak value i 0 of the ac current in the resistor?
pishuonlain [190]
The average dissipated power in a resistor in a ac circuit is:
P=I_{rms}^2 R
where R is the resistance, and I_{rms} is the root mean square current, defined as
I_{rms} =  \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}}
where I_0 is the peak value of the current. Substituting the second formula into the first one, we find
P=( \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2} } )^2 R =  \frac{1}{2} I_0^2 R
and if we re-arrange this formula and use the data of the problem, we can find the value of the peak current I0:
I_0 =  \sqrt{ \frac{2 P}{R} }=  \sqrt{ \frac{2 \cdot 2.0 W}{47 \Omega} }=0.29 A

A force causes a mass of 4 kg to have an acceleration of 8 m/s2. Suppose something causes the mass to be one-quarter of its orig
solniwko [45]

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

Given that m = 4 kg and a = 8 m/s²:

F = (4 kg) (8 m/s²)

F = 32 N

If m is reduced to 1 kg and F stays at 32 N:

32 N = (1 kg) a

a = 32 m/s²

So the acceleration increases by a factor of 4.

What must the driver do when approaching an intersection and seeing the traffic light turn from green to yellow?
NISA [10]
The person should start to slow down but if close enough or in the intersection go threw. Otherwise come to a complete stop until the light turns green again

How do solar panels work with conduction, convection and radiation?
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

<em>In the case of a solar thermal panel we are trying to heat above the ambient temperature so conduction and convection will work against us by taking heat from the panel to the out- side world. ... The sun (at 6000 C surface temperature) is hotter than the solar panel so the panel will get hot due to the solar radiation.</em>
