2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 m

Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u> Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

<u>Explanation:</u>

To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.

This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:

Wave base = $\frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}$

We are given:

Wavelength = 24 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

Wave base = $\frac{24m}{2}=12m$

Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2.00 cm has a charge of 6.88 μC. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4.00 cm and ou

zepelin [54]

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius R= 2.00

Charge = 6.88 μC

Inner radius = 4.00 cm

Outer radius = 5.00 cm

Charge = -2.96 μC

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

(a). For, r = 1.00 cm

Here, r<R

So, E = 0

The electric field does not exist inside the sphere.

(b). For, r = 3.00 cm

Here, r >R

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times6.88\times10^{-6}}{(3.00\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=6.88\times10^{7}\ N/C$

The electric field outside the solid conducting sphere and the direction is towards sphere.

(c). For, r = 4.50 cm

Here, r lies between R₁ and R₂.

So, E = 0

The electric field does not exist inside the conducting material

(d). For, r = 7.00 cm

The electric field is

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times(-2.96\times10^{-6})}{(7.00\times10^{-2})^2}$

$E=5.43\times10^{6}\ N/C$

The electric field outside the solid conducting sphere and direction is away of solid sphere.

Hence, This is the required solution.

The Graph above shows the speed of a car traveling in a straight line as a function of time. The car accelerates uniformly and r

devlian [24]

Answer:

Where is the graph??

If a car travels from zero to 4 m/s ins 8 sec

a = 4 / 8 = .5 m/s^2

V (2) = 2 * .5 = 1 m/s after 2 sec

S = V t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 1 * 3.9 + 1/2 * 1/2 *3.9^2 = 3.9 + 3.80 = 7.70 m from 2 to 5.9 sec

Check:

Total distance traveled = 1/2 a t^2 = 5.9^2 / 4 = 8.70 m

Distance traveled in 2 sec = 1/2 * 1/2 * 4 = 1 m

Total distance from 2 to 5.9 = 8.7 - 1 = 7.7 m agreeing with thw above

How many times did thomas edison fail before inventing the lightbulb

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

he failed thousands of times

Explanation:

There is no known number for his failings. Edison may have failed in many of his experiments and in his schooling, but he had something better working in his favor. He had great determination and persistence.

He failed thousands of times in an attempt to develop an electric light, the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful experiment as the elimination of a solution that wouldn’t work, thereby moving him that much closer to a successful solution.
