Suppose a point charge is located at the center of a spherical surface. The electric field at the surface of the sphere and the

total flux through the sphere are determined. Now the radius of the sphere is halved. What happens to the flux through the sphere and the magnitude of the electric field

Answer:

<em>The flux through the sphere will remain the same, and the magnitude of the electric field will increase by four times.</em>

Explanation:

The electric flux is the number of electric field, passing through a given area. It is proportional to the electric field strength and the area through which this field passes.

If the radius of the sphere is halved, the area of the sphere will reduce by square of the reduction, which will be four times. The electric field lines will become closer together, or technically increase by a fourth of its initial value. The resultant effect is that the electric flux will remain the same.

If originally,

Φ = EA cos∅

where Φ is the electric flux through the sphere

E is the electric field on the sphere

A is the area of the sphere.

If the area of the sphere is reduced to half, then,

the area reduces to A/4,

and the electric field increases to be 4E on the sphere.

The flux now becomes

Φ = 4E x A/4 cos∅

which reduces to

Φ = EA cos∅

which is the initial electric flux on the sphere.

Could an experiment similar to young's two-slit experiment be performed with sound? how might this be carried out? does it matte
Arada [10]
Young's double slit experiment(YDSE) can be used for any kind of waves such as electromagnetic waves, sound waves, water waves, gravity waves. YDSE is based on interference. In this experiment, we make two waves interfere in order to obtain bright and dark fringes on the screen(in case of light).
You can carry this out with water, would be great if you try this at pond or water reservoir in order to see perfect ripples.

I have 2 bulbs one coverts 60% of energy to light 45% which is the most efficient and what happens to the rest of the energy
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The first one (60%)

Explanation:

The first one converts 15% more energy than the other one. Therefore, it is more efficient.

Hope this helps!

A bobsledder pushes her sled across horizontal snow to get it going, then jumps in. After she jumps in, the sled gradually slows
anastassius [24]

Answer:

In the vertical direction the acting forces are the normal force and the weight of the bobsleder plus the sled. In the horizontal direction the acting force is the friciton force.

Explanation:

Hi there!

Please, see the attached figure for a graphic representation of the forces acting on the sled after the bobsleder jumped in.

In the vertical direction, the acting forces are the normal force (N) and the weight of the sled plus the bobsledder (W).

Since the sled is not being accelerated in the vertical direction, the sum of forces in that direction is zero:

∑Fy = W + N = 0 ⇒ W = N

The weight is calculated as follows:

W = (mb + ms) · g

Where:

mb = mass of the bobsleder.

ms = mass of the sled.

g = acceleration due to gravity.

In the horizontal direction the only acting force is the friction force (Fr). The friction force is calculated a follows:

Fr = N · μ

Where:

N = normal force.

μ = kinetic friction coefficient.

Since N = W = (mb + ms) · g

Fr = (mb + ms) · g · μ

If we want to find the acceleration of the sled after the bobsleder jumps in, we can apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m · a

Where "a" is the acceleration and "m" is the mass of the object (in this case, the mass of bobsleder plus the mass of the sled).

∑F = Fr =  (mb + ms) · g · μ =  (mb + ms) · a

(mb + ms) · g · μ =  (mb + ms) · a

Solving for "a":

g · μ = a
