Answer:

(a). If z = 0, The electric field due to the rod is zero.

(b). If z =  ∞, The electric field due to the rod is E\propto\dfrac{1}{z^2}.

(c). The positive distance is \dfrac{R}{\sqrt{2}}

(d). The maximum magnitude of electric field is 1.54\times10^{4}\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 2.00 cm

Charge = 4.00 mC

(a). If the radius and charge are R and Q.

We need to calculate the electric field due to the rod

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{Qz}{(z^2+R^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}

Where, Q = charge

z = distance

If z = 0,

Then, The electric field is

E=0

(b). If z = ∞, z>>R

So, R = 0

Then, the electric field is

E=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{Q}{z^2}

E\propto\dfrac{1}{z^2}

(c). In terms of R,

We need to calculate the positive distance

If E\rightarrow E_{max}

Then, \dfrac{dE}{dz}=0

\dfrac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}(\dfrac{(z^2+R^2)^\frac{3}{2}-\dfrac{3z}{2}(z^2+R^2)^\dfrac{1}{2}}{(z^2+R^2)^2})=0

Taking only positive distance

z=\dfrac{R}{\sqrt{2}}

(d). If R = 2.00 and Q = 4.00 mC

We need to calculate the maximum magnitude of electric field

Using formula of electric field

E_{max}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\dfrac{Qz}{(z^2+R^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}

E_{max}=9\times10^{9}\times\dfrac{4.0\times10^{-6}\times\dfrac{2.00}{\sqrt{2}}}{((\dfrac{2.00}{\sqrt{2}})^2+(2.00)^2)^{\frac{2}{3}}}

E_{max}=15418.7\ N/C

E_{max}=1.54\times10^{4}\ N/C

Hence, (a). If z = 0, The electric field due to the rod is zero.

(b). If z =  ∞, The electric field due to the rod is E\propto\dfrac{1}{z^2}.

(c). The positive distance is \dfrac{R}{\sqrt{2}}

(d). The maximum magnitude of electric field is 1.54\times10^{4}\ N/C

A solar water heater for domestic hot-water supply uses solar collecting panels with a collection efficiency of 40.0 % in a loca
Stells [14]

Answer:

46.19 L

Explanation:

The efficiency of the solar water heater is 40% which means 40% of the solar energy is converted to useful energy, ie. used to heat the water.

Useful energy = P = solar energy * available area * efficiency

P = 200 W/m^2 * 29.5 m^2 * 40%

P = 2360 W = 2.36 kJ/s

This means that 2.36 kJ of useful energy will be utilized per second. Converting this to the useful energy in hour gives us:

Average energy in one hour = 2.36 kJ/s * 3600 s/h = 8496 kJ

The specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 kJ/kg.C which means it will take 4.18 kJ of energy to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree C. Equating the energy change of the water for the given temperature rise and mass (unknown) to the useful energy utilized in one hour, we can solve to determine the unknown mass. This will give us the mass of water heated in one hour:

Energy = mass * specific heat capacity * (final temperature - initial temperature)

8496 = mass * 4.18 * (60 - 16)

mass = 46.19 kg

Lastly, this mass has to be converted to volume. Assuming density of water is constant through out the heating process:

volume = mass / density

volume = 46.19 kg / 1 kg/L

volume = 46.19 L

A submarine sends a signal and receives an echo after 5 seconds. Calculate the speed of sound if distance of object from submari
Reil [10]

speed = distance \div time
Since the sound travels from the submarine to the object AND back, it actually travelled 3625x2=7250m.

7250 \div 5 = 1450
Speed of sound: 1450m/s

Nimfa-mama [501]

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the<u> length of the lever</u> by the tangential component of force on the lever.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the <u>rotating equivalent</u> of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

<h3>How do we define 1 N-m of torque?</h3>

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied <u>perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long</u> moment arm is known as a newton-metre.

What type of change accurs when a substance stays the same
Thepotemich [5.8K]
This would be a physical change because it can change back to its original form. This is like ripping paper. You can piece it back together and it still is paper.

The opposite of this is chemical change. Chemical change means the product has been changed completely like burning paper. The paper has now been turned to ash and it's impossible to change this back to its original form.
