Answer

2) 1.5×10-2 m

Explanation

The potential difference is related to the electric field by:

\Delta V=Ed (1)

where

\Delta V is the potential difference

E is the electric field

d is the distance

We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

E=1 V/cm=100 V/m

when connected to a battery with potential difference

\Delta V=1.5 V

Solving the equation (1) for d, we find

d=\frac{\Delta V}{E}=\frac{1.5 V}{100 V/m}=0.015 m=1.5 \cdot 10^{-2} m

A 20 kg crate initially at rest on a horizontal floor requires a 80 N horizontal force to set it in motion. Find the coefficient
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

<em>The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in the air or rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N          [1]

Where \mu is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W = m.g

The crate of m=20 Kg has a weight of:

W = 20*9.8

W = 196 N

The normal force is also N=196 N

We can find the coefficient of static friction by solving [1] for \mu:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{Fr}{N}

The friction force is equal to the minimum force required to start moving the object on the floor, thus Fr=80 N and:

\displaystyle \mu=\frac{80}{196}

\mu=0.41

The coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.41

What best describes the direction of the electric field on a spherical equipotential surface?
Alla [95]

Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface

Explanation:

- Electric field lines represent the direction of the electric field. The electric field lines also correspond to the direction along which the gradient of the electric potential is maximum.

- Equipotentials are lines or surfaces along which the electric potential is constant: the electric potential does not change moving along an equipotential surface.

Given the two definitions, equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field lines. Therefore, in this problem, the direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the spherical equipotential surface.

Read the description of the centrioles. What is their function?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Typically found in eukaryotic cells, centrioles are cylindrical (tube-like) structures/organelles composed of microtubules. In the cell, centrioles aid in cell division by facilitating the separation of chromosomes. For this reason, they are located near the nucleus.

Against the wind a commercial airline in south america flew 784 miles in 4 hours. with a tailwind the return trip took 3.53 hour
ira [324]

First let us assign variables,

d = distance travelled

t = time it took

v = velocity of the commercial airline

In linear physics, the equation for velocity is given as:

v = d / t

Rewriting for d:

d = v t

We know that the distance to and from south America are equal therefore:

d1 (going) = d2 (return)

Let us say that velocity of air is v3. Since going to South America, the wind is against the direction of the plane and the return trip is the opposite, therefore:

(v1 - v3) t1 = (v1 + v3) t2

(v1 – v3) 4 = (v1 + v3) 3.53

4 v1 – 4 v3 = 3.53 v1 + 3.53 v3

0.47 v1 = 7.53 v3

v1 = 16.02 v3

Since we also know that:

(v1 - v3) t1 = 784

(16.02 v3 – v3) * 4 = 784

60.085 v3 = 784

v3 = 13.05 mph

Therefore the speed of the plane in still air, v1 is:

v1 = 16.02 * 13.05

<span>v1 = 209.03 mph           (ANSWER)</span>
