Answer:

Electric potential = V = 33 KV

Explanation:

The breakdown is an electric stress phenomenon. The value of electric field at which breakdown of dry air occur is 3 × 10^6 V/m. So,

E = 3 × 10^6 V/m

d = 1.1 cm = 1.1 × 10^-2 m

We know that:

E = V/d

V = Ed

V = (3 × 10^6)( 1.1 × 10^-2)

V = 33000 V

V = 33 KV

The electric field is given by volts/distance: $E= \frac{V}{d}$ . The breakdown voltage of dry air is about 3x10^6V/m. So solving for V we get
$V=Ed$
or $V=(3e6V/m)(0.011m)=33,000V$

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \ m$

The first order of the dark fringe is $m_1 = 16$

The second order of dark fringe considered is $m_2 = 6$

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}$

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

$y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} - \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} - \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}$

=> $y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y = 5 (480*10^{-9})$

=> $\Delta y = 2.4 *10^{-6} \ m$

When you answer someones question how do you make it so your answer is verified??

malfutka [58]

Well YOU cant make your questions verified. if theres more than one answer to the question the person who asked the question will choose the best answer. usually based upon like how well it explains and if its the right answer

A runner traveling with an initial velocity of 1.1 m/s accelerates at a constant rate of 0.8 m/s2fora time of 2.0 s.(a).What is

pychu [463]

Answer:

The final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the runner, u = 1.1 m/s

constant acceleration, a = 0.8 m/s²

time of motion, t = 2.0 s

The velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is calculate as;

$v = u + at$

where;

v is the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time;

v = 1.1 + (0.8)(2)

v = 2.7 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the runner at the end of the given time is 2.7 m/s.

Answer:

26.9 Pa

Explanation:

We can answer this question by using the continuity equation, which states that the volume flow rate of a fluid in a pipe must be constant; mathematically:

$A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$ (1)
