Starting from one oasis, a camel walks 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then walks 30 km toward the north to a second

oasis. What distance separates the two oases?

Answer:

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is 27.83 Km

Explanation:

let d is the distance between oasis1 and oasis 2

from figure

OC = 25cos 30

OE = 25sin30

OE = CD

Therefore BC = 30-25sin30

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is calculated by using phytogoras theorem

in $\Delta BCO$

$OB^2 = BC^2 + OC^2$

PUTTING ALL VALUE IN ABOVE EQUATION

$d^2 = 930-25sin30)^2 + (25cos30)^2$

$d^2 = 775$

d = 27.83 Km

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is 27.83 Km

<span>When t=0, v=0, d=0 When t=tf, v=41m/s, d=3.5m We have 2 formulas – the ones corresponding to uniformly accelerated linear movement: vf=a*t+vo d=(1/2)*a*t^2+vo*t Let’s put the data in the formulas: 41m/s=a*t+0=a*t 3.5m=(1/2)*a*t^2+0*t=1/2*a*t^2 You can use a variety of methods to find t and a.

A thick, spherical shell made of solid metal has an inner radius a = 0.18 m and an outer radius b = 0.46 m, and is initially unc

KonstantinChe [14]

(a) $E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

We can solve the different part of the problem by using Gauss theorem.

Considering a Gaussian spherical surface with radius r<a (inside the shell), we can write:

$E(r) \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

where q is the charge contained in the spherical surface, so

$q=5.00 C$

Solving for E(r), we find the expression of the field for r<a:

$E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

(b) 0

The electric field strength in the region a < r < b is zero. This is due to the fact that the charge +q placed at the center of the shell induces an opposite charge -q on the inner surface of the shell (r=a), while the outer surface of the shell (r=b) will acquire a net charge of +q.

So, if we use Gauss theorem for the region a < r < b, we get

$E(r) \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q'}{\epsilon_0}$

however, the charge q' contained in the Gaussian sphere of radius r is now the sum of the charge at the centre (+q) and the charge induced on the inner surface of the shell (-q), so

q' = + q - q = 0

And so we find

E(r) = 0

(c) $E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

We can use again Gauss theorem:

$E(r) \cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q'}{\epsilon_0}$ (1)

where this time r > b (outside the shell), so the gaussian surface this time contained:

- the charge +q at the centre

- the inner surface, with a charge of -q

- the outer surface, with a charge of +q

So the net charge is

q' = +q -q +q = +q

And so solving (1) we find

$E(r) = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}$

which is identical to the expression of the field inside the shell.

(d) $-12.3 C/m^2$

We said that at r = a, a charge of -q is induced. The induced charge density will be

$\sigma_a = \frac{-q}{4\pi a^2}$

where $4 \pi a^2$ is the area of the inner surface of the shell. Substituting

q = 5.00 C

a = 0.18 m

We find the induced charge density:

$\sigma_a = \frac{-5.00 C}{4\pi (0.18 m)^2}=-12.3 C/m^2$

(e) $-1.9 C/m^2$

We said that at r = b, a charge of +q is induced. The induced charge density will be

$\sigma_b = \frac{+q}{4\pi b^2}$

where $4 \pi b^2$ is the area of the outer surface of the shell. Substituting

q = 5.00 C

b = 0.46 m

We find the induced charge density:

$\sigma_b = \frac{+5.00 C}{4\pi (0.46 m)^2}=-1.9 C/m^2$

When testing a laptop power connector, how close should the voltage measured be to the accepted voltage of the laptop?

elixir [45]

When testing a laptop power connector, the voltage measured has be close to +/- 5% to the accepted voltage of the laptop. This is to ensure that the power connector would not pose any hazard to the user and is safe for use. So, for instance the accepted voltage is 19 V, when you test the power connector it should be that the reading is between 18 V to 20 V. Any reading below or above that range is not recommended for use. You can locate the accepted voltage on the battery or the laptop itself. To test a power connector, you can use a volt meter or a multi meter.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The speed of the automobile after 1.43s is 10 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

$a= \frac{-f}{m}= \frac{-u_{k}*m*g}{m}$

$a= -u_{k}*g=- 0.590* 9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }= -5.782 \frac{m}{s^{2} }$

$V_{f} = V_{i} + a*t$

$V_{f} = 18.2 \frac{m}{s} - (5.782 \frac{m}{s^{2} }* 1.43 s)$

$V_{f} = 9.93174 \frac{m}{s}$

$V_{f}$ ≅ 10 $\frac{m}{s}$
