Answer:

a) $2.26\times10^5\ N.m^2\C$

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of the point charge , $Q=2\ \rm\mu C$
Strength of the Electric Field E=100 N/C
Radius of the Gaussian sphere R=10 cm

The net flux due to the uniform Electric E present in the space due to the Gaussian surface will be zero As the the flux which will enter the Gaussian surface will exit the Gaussian surface.

The Electric flux due to the charge placed at the origin is

$\phi =\dfrac{Q}{\epsilon_0}\\\pji=\dfrac{2\times10^{-6}}{\epsilon_0}\\\pji=2.26\times 10^{5}\ N.m^2\C$

In February 1955, a paratrooper fell 370 m from an airplane without being able to open his chute but happened to land in snow, s

nevsk [136]

a) 0.94 m

The work done by the snow to decelerate the paratrooper is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the man:

$W=\Delta K\\-F d = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 - \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where:

$F=1.1 \cdot 10^5 N$ is the force applied by the snow

d is the displacement of the man in the snow, so it is the depth of the snow that stopped him

m = 68 kg is the man's mass

v = 0 is the final speed of the man

u = 55 m/s is the initial speed of the man (when it touches the ground)

and where the negative sign in the work is due to the fact that the force exerted by the snow on the man (upward) is opposite to the displacement of the man (downward)

Solving the equation for d, we find:

$d=\frac{1}{2F}mu^2 = \frac{(68 kg)(55 m/s)^2}{2(1.1\cdot 10^5 N)}=0.94 m$

b) -3740 kg m/s

The magnitude of the impulse exerted by the snow on the man is equal to the variation of momentum of the man:

$I=\Delta p = m \Delta v$

where

m = 68 kg is the mass of the man

$\Delta v = 0-55 m/s = -55 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the man

Substituting,

$I=(68 kg)(-55 m/s)=-3740 kg m/s$

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.

grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution. By definition is defined as:

$\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

$\theta$ = Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

$r = l\theta$

Relacing $\theta$

$r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})$

$r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}$

Replacing with our values we have that,

$r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})$

$r = 3680.91m$

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

$d = 2r$

$d = 2 * (3690.91)$

$d = 7361.8285m$

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

Josh did an experiment recording the changes in temperature in sand and water when exposed to a light source, and then when the

Marrrta [24]

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .

The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.

Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-

$c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}$

Here c is the specific heat capacity.

The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.

As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.

From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain

Mama L [17]

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m" and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

An amateur player is about to throw a dart with an initial velocity of 15 meters/second onto a dartboard that is at a distance o

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

B. 0.16 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance by which the player will miss the target is equal to the vertical distance covered by the dart during its motion.

Since the dart is thrown horizontally, the initial vertical velocity is zero:

$v_y = 0$

While the horizontal velocity is

$v_x = 15 m/s$

The horizontal distance covered is

$d_x = 2.7 m$

Since the dart moves by uniform motion along the horizontal direction, the time it takes for covering this distance is

$t=\frac{d_x}{v_x}=\frac{2.7 m}{15 m/s}=0.18 s$

along the vertical direction, the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant downward acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, so the vertical distance covered is given by

$d_y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2=\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^)(0.18 s)^2=0.16 m$
