Answer:

<em>Pure water </em><em>won’t  conduct electricity</em>

<em>Option A</em>

Explanation:

Pure water doesn’t contain salts or impurities. It is the salts that dissociate to form ions that act as charge carriers in conducting solutions. For a medium to conduct electricity it should have carriers to carry the electrical charge.

Thus absence of charge carriers make pure water non conducting. Charge carriers in metals are electrons and in ionic solutions they are positive and negative ions.

Tap water, aquarium water and ocean water contains dissolved electrolytes. When electricity is passed through them the electrolytes dissociates into ions and these ions conduct electricity.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

0.68 m

Explanation:

We know that the speed of sound in air is a product of frequency and wavelength. Taking speed of sound in air as 340 m/s

V=frequency*wavelength

Then wavelength is given by 350/500=0.68 m

Therefore, to repeat constructive interference at the listener's ear, a distance of 0.68 m is needed

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer

In this question we have given,

Height of plane, h1=2000m

Height at which charge concentration is 40C, h2=3000m

Height at which charge concentration is -40C, h3=1000m

charge concentaration, q1=40C

charge concentaration, q2=-40C

let the charge concentrations at height h2 and h3 as point charges

Now we will first find the electric feild on plane due to positive charge q1=40

E1= k*q1/(h1-h2)..............(1)

Here k=8.98755*10^9N.m^2/C^2

q1=40C

put values of k, q1 , h1 and h2 in equation 1


[tex]E1=(8.98755*10^9)*(40)/(2000-3000)^2\\

E1=[tex]E= 359502+359502\\E=719004 V/mV/m[/tex]

similarly electric feild due to negative charge q2=-40

[tex]E2=(8.98755*10^9)*(-40)/(2000-1000)^2\\

E2=359502V/m

Total electric feild E at the aircraft is given as

E= E1+ E2\\...............(2)

Put values of  E1 and E2 in equation2

\\E=359502+359502\\E= 719004V/m\\

therefore s Total electric feild E at the aircraft is E= 719004V/m

Metal sphere A has a charge of -2 units and an identical sphere B has a charge of -4 units. If the spheres are brought into cont
shusha [124]

Answer:

 q1 = q₂=  -3

therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis

Explanation:

The metallic spheres have mobile charge, so when the two spheres come into contact the total charge

           Q_total = q₁ + q₂

           Q_total = -2 -4

   

          Q_total = -6 units

it is distributed in between the two spheres evenly since the charges of the same sign repel each other.

When the spheres separate each one has

            q₁ = -6/2

            q1 = q₂=  -3

therefore each sphere has the same charge of -3 untis

CHEGG 42 mT magnetic field points due west. If a proton of kinetic energy 9 x 10-12 J enters this field in an upward direction,
alexdok [17]

Answer:

The  magnitude of the Force is  F = 697 *10^{-15}N  and the direction is South  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The magnetic field point due west and since East point toward the positive x -axis(i)  then this magnetic field would be mathematically represented as

                \= B = 42(-i)mT = 42*10^{-3} (-i) T

Now from the question we are told that the kinetic energy is

             KE = 9*10^{-12}J

Now this kinetic energy can be mathematically represented as

                  KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Where m is the mass of proton which has a general value of

           m = 1.67*10^{-27}kg

Now making the subject of the formula

                v = \sqrt{\frac{KE}{0.5 * m} }

Substituting values we have

               v = \sqrt{\frac{9*10^{-12}}{0.5 * 1.67*10^{-27}} }

                 = 10.37*10^7m/s

Now from the question we are told that proton is moving upward which is in the positive z direction so the velocity of the proton would be in the positive

So the velocity would be

            \= v = 10.37*10^{7} \r k \ m/s

Now the magnetic Force can be mathematically represented as

          \= F = q \= v * \=  B

Where q is the charge on the proton which has a general value of  q =1.6*10^{-19}C

Now substituting the value

          \= F = 1.6*10^{-19 } * (10.37 *10^7) \r k * (42 *10^{-3})(-i)

              = 697*10^{-15} J

Now according to Fleming's left hand rule the direction of the magnetic force is south toward the negative Y - direction (-j)

So the force can be denoted as

                 \= F = 697*10^{-15}(-j) N
