A 610-N hiker carrying an 11.0-kg backpack hiked up a trail for 23 minutes. At the end of that time, he is 150 m higher than whe

n he started. (a) How much the the backpack weigh? (b) How much work is accomplished to carry the backpack that distance? (c) How much total work is accomplished? (Use the total weight: hiker + backpack.) (d) What is the hiker’s power in watts? (Don’t forget to convert 23 minutes to seconds.)

Answer:

a)110 N (assuming g = 10 m/s2 )

b) 16500 J

c) ≅ 11.96 W

Explanation:

a) 150 m is not enough to a sensible change of gravitational acceleration at that level from Earth's surface. Therefore, backback weight is same as when it is in ground level.

W = mg, W = weight of object ; m = mass of the object ; g =  gravitational acceleration felt by object.

By substituting,

W = 11×10 = 110 N (assuming g = 10 m/s2 )

b)  Work done = Energy change

    Work done by lifting the bag = Potential energy change

                                                     = mgh ; h = Vertical height lifted

                                                     = 11×150×10 (assuming g = 10 m/s2 )

                                                     = 16500 J

c) Power = Work done/ time taken

               = 16500/(23×60)                (minutes converted to seconds by multiplying by 60)

               ≅ 11.96 W

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2 cm has a charge of 8microCoulomb. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4 cm andout
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C) 7.35*10⁶ N/C radially outward

Explanation:

  • If we apply the Gauss'law, to a spherical gaussian surface with radius r=7 cm, due to the symmetry, the electric field must be normal to the surface, and equal at all points along it.
  • So, we can write the following equation:

       E*A = \frac{Q_{enc} }{\epsilon_{0}} (1)

  • As the electric field must be zero inside the conducting spherical shell, this means that the charge enclosed by a spherical gaussian surface of a radius between 4 and 5 cm, must be zero too.
  • So, the +8 μC charge of  the solid conducting sphere of radius 2cm, must be compensated by an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell of total charge -4 μC.
  • So, on the outer surface of the shell there must be a charge that be the difference between them:

        Q_{enc} = - 4e-6 C - (-8e-6 C) = + 4 e-6 C

  • Replacing in (1) A = 4*π*ε₀, and Qenc = +4 μC, we can find the value of E, as follows:

      E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon_{0} } *\frac{Q_{enc} }{r^{2} } = \frac{9e9 N*m2/C2*4e-6C}{(0.07m)^{2} } = 7.35e6 N/C

  • As the charge that produces this electric field is positive, and the electric field has the same direction as the one taken by a positive test charge under the influence of this field, the direction of the field is radially outward, away from the positive charge.

Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?
Anestetic [448]

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.

Explanation:

Speed and velocity are two different quantities. In fact:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which gives a measure of how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. Therefore, it only has a magnitude, which is given by the ratio between distance covered and time taken:

s=\frac{distance}{time}

Therefore, speed does not take into account the direction of motion.

- Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity, so it has magnitude and a direction.

The magnitude of the velocity is given by

v=\frac{displacement}{time}

where displacement is a vector connecting the initial point with the final point of motion of an object.

The direction of the velocity corresponds to the direction of the displacement.

It must be noted also that in certain situations, the average velocity is zero, while the speed is not zero: for example, for an object completing a circle in a certain time interval, its speed is not zero, while its velocity is zero (because the object returns to the starting point, so the displacement is zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance.
