The dome of a Van de Graaff generator receives a charge of 0.00011 C. The radius of the dome is 5.2 m. Find the strength of the
wel

Answer:

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

K=8.98755×10^9Nm²/C²

Q=0.00011C

Radius of the sphere = 5.2m

g=9.8m/s²

1. The electric field inside a conductor is zero

εΦ=qenc

εEA=qenc

net charge qenc is the algebraic sum of all the enclosed positive and negative charges, and it can be positive, negative, or zero

This surface encloses no charge, and thus qenc=0. Gauss’ law.

Since it is inside the conductor

E=0N/C

2. Since the entire charge us inside the surface, then the electric field at a distance r (5.2m) away form the surface is given as

F=kq1/r²

F=kQ/r²

F=8.98755E9×0.00011/5.2²

F=36561.78N/C

The electric field at the surface of the conductor is 36561N/C

Since the charge is positive the it is outward field

3. Given that a test charge is at 12.6m away,

Then Electric field is given as,

E=kQ/r²

E=8.98755E9 ×0.00011/12.6²

E=6227.34N/C

Starting at its rightmost position, it takes 2 seconds for the pendulum of a grandfather clock to swing a horizontal distance of
sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is b,  x = 9 cos (pi / 2 t)

Explanation:

The equation that describes a simple pendulum is

             θ  = θ₀  cos (wt + φ)

The angle is measured is radians

            θ = x / L

We replace

           d / L = x₀ / L cos (wt + φ)

            x₀ = 9 in

         

We replace

             d = 9 cos (wt + φ)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

           w = 2π f = 2π / T

The period is the time of a complete oscillation T = 4 s

           w =2π / 4

           w = π / 2

Let's replace

             x = 9 cos (π/2 t + φ)

As the system is released from the root x = x₀ for t = 0 s

              x₀ = x₀ cos φ

             Cos φ = 1

             φ = 0°

The final equation is

             x = 9 cos (pi / 2 t)

The correct answer is b

Grains of fine california beach sand are approximately spheres with an average radius of 50 μm and are made of silicon dioxide,
kykrilka [37]

The average radius(r) of each grain is r = 50 nanometers = 50*10^-6 meters

Since it is spherical, so

 Volume=(4/3)*pi*r^3

V= (4/3)*pi*(50*10^-6)^3

V=5.23599*10^-13 m^3

 

We are given the Density(ρ) =2600kg/m^3

 

We know that:

Density(p) = mass(m)/volume(V)

m = ρV

 

So the mass of a single grain is:

m = 5.23599*10^-13 * 2600 = 1.361357*10^-9 kg

 

 

The surface area of a grain is:

a = 4*pi*r^2

a = 4*pi*(50*10^-6)^2

a = 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

 

Since we know the surface area and mass of a grain, the conversion factor is:

1.361357*10^-9 kg / 3.14*10^-8 m^2

 

Find the Surface area of the cube:

cube = 6a^2

cube = 6*1.1^2  = 7.26m^2

 

multiply this by the converions ratio to get:

total mass of sand grains = (7.26 m^2 * 1.361357*10^-9 kg) / (3.14*10^-8 m^2)

total mass of sand grains = 0.3148 kg = 314.80 g

What fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? water at 37°c has
mart [117]

The fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant when water at 37°c has a latent heat of vaporization of lv = 580 kcal/kg is 2.58 times 10 to the minus 3.

Vaporization is the process by which a substance is transformed from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state. Boiling is the term for the vaporization process when conditions permit the creation of vapour bubbles within a liquid. Sublimation is the process of directly converting a solid to a liquid.

Boiling and evaporation are the two processes that cause vaporization. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid body's surface changes from a liquid to a gas, as in the case of a drop of water on hot concrete evaporating into a gas. A liquid is said to be boiling when it is heated to the point at which it begins to give off steam, as when you boil water on a stove. The process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state is known as vaporization.

How is velocity and instantaneous speed alike
allsm [11]
<span>velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement irrespective of the length of the path travelled while speed is the average rate of covering distance. but in the liming case where the instantaneous velocity is given as v=dx/dt where dx is the small displacement in a small interval dt, both the speed and velocity have the same magnitude and the direction of velocity is the direction of the tangent to the corresponding displacement-time curve.</span>
