Answer:

Gravitational lensing

Explanation:

In general relativity, the path of light will get deflected due to presence of matter. This is because matter can curve spacetime.

We run a distance of 1000 m at a speed of 4.3 m/s. Calculate the time elapsed to cover this distance

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

So if we need to cover 1000 meters. And we go at a speed of 4.3 m/s. That means that every 4.3 meters we cover is 1 second. So we divide both amd get

1000/4.3 = 232.56 is approx the answer. Also the meters cancel out because

m/(m/s) = m*s/m, cancels out giving s as a unit.

<h2><u>Therefore the answer is 232.56 seconds</u></h2>

Vector A with arrow, which is directed along an x axis, is to be added to vector B with arrow, which has a magnitude of 5.5 m. T

ohaa [14]

Answer:

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Explanation:

Vector A , which is directed along an x axis, that is

$\vec{A}=x_A\hat{i}$

Vector B , which has a magnitude of 5.5 m

$\vec{B}=x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}$

$\sqrt{x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}}=5.5\\\\x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25$

The sum is a third vector that is directed along the y axis, with a magnitude that is 6.0 times that of vector A $\vec{A}+\vec{B}=6x_A\hat{j}\\\\x_A\hat{i}+x_B\hat{i}+y_B\hat{j}=6x_A\hat{j}$

Comparing we will get

$x_A=-x_B\\\\y_B=6x_A$

Substituting in $x_{B}^{2}+y_{B}^{2}=30.25$

$\left (-x_{A} \right )^{2}+\left (6x_{A} \right )^{2}=30.25\\\\37x_{A}^2=30.25\\\\x_{A}=0.904$

So we have

$\vec{A}=0.904\hat{i}$

Magnitude of vector A = 0.904

Consider a uniformly charged sphere of radius Rand total charge Q. The electric field Eout outsidethe sphere (r≥R) is simply tha

AlexFokin [52]

1) Electric potential inside the sphere: $\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})$

2) Ratio Vcenter/Vsurface: 3/2

3) Find graph in attachment

Explanation:

The electric field inside the sphere is given by

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{R^3}$

where

$\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

Q is the charge on the sphere

R is the radius of the sphere

r is the distance from the centre at which we compute the field

For a radial field,

$E(r)=-\frac{dV(r)}{dr}$

Therefore, we can find the potential at distance r by integrating the expression for the electric field. Calculating the difference between the potential at r and the potential at R,

$V(R)-V(r)=-\int\limits^R_r E(r)dr=-\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}\int r dr = \frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)$

The potential at the surface, V(R), is that of a point charge, so

$V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}$

Therefore we can find the potential inside the sphere, V(r):

$V(r)=V(R)+\Delta V=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}+\frac{-Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R^3}(R^2-r^2)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})$

At the center,

r = 0

Therefore the potential at the center of the sphere is:

$V(r)=\frac{Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}(3-\frac{r^2}{R^2})\\V(0)=\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}$

On the other hand, the potential at the surface is

$V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}$

Therefore, the ratio V(center)/V(surface) is:

$\frac{V(0)}{V(R)}=\frac{\frac{3Q}{8\pi \epsilon_0 R}}{\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}}=\frac{3}{2}$

The graph of V versus r can be found in attachment.

We observe the following:

- At r = 0, the value of the potential is $\frac{3}{2}V(R)$ , as found in part b) (where $V(R)=\frac{Q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}$ )

- Between r and R, the potential decreases as $-\frac{r^2}{R^2}$

- Then at r = R, the potential is $V(R)$

- Between r = R and r = 3R, the potential decreases as $\frac{1}{R}$ , therefore when the distance is tripled (r=3R), the potential as decreased to 1/3 ( $\frac{1}{3}V(R)$ )

Which item is not considered electromagnetic energy?

suter [353]

Sound waves are known to be the one that's not considered as a type of electromagnetic energy. As for microwaves and x-rays, they tend to share the same frequencies that can be considered as electromagnetic, and sound waves have a different frequency than them.
