Answer:

The magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

Explanation:

Given:

Electric field $E = 3 \times 10^{6} \frac{V}{m}$

Gap between electrodes $d = 0.060 \times 10^{-2}$ m

For finding the minimum potential difference,

$\Delta V = E \times d$

$\Delta V = 3 \times 10^{6} \times 0.060 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Delta V = 1800$ V

Therefore, the magnitude of minimum potential difference is 1800 V

calculate the diameter of a silver wire of length 75cm , which is extended by 1.85mm when a 10kg mass is suspended from it's end

sdas [7]

Answer: $0.8\ mm$

Explanation:

Given

length of wire $l=75\ cm$

change in length $\Delta l=1.85\ mm$

mass of wire $m=10\ kg$

Young's modulus for silver $E=7.9\times 10^{10}\ N/m^2$

load on wire $F=mg$

$F=10\times 9.8=98\ kg$

change in length is given by

$\Delta l=\dfrac{Pl}{AE}$

Where A=area of cross-section

$A=\dfrac{Pl}{\Delta lE}$

$A=\dfrac{98\times 0.75}{1.85\times 10^{-3}\times 7.9\times 10^{10}}$

$A=\dfrac{73.5}{14.615\times 10^{7}}$

$A=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

also wire is the shape of cylinder so cross-section is given by

$A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}=5.029\times 10^{-7}\ m^2$

$\Rightarrow d^2=\dfrac{5.029\times 10^{-7}\times 4}{\pi }$

$\Rightarrow d^2=64.02\times 10^{-8}$

$\Rightarrow d=8\times 10^{-4}\ m$

$\Rightarrow d=0.8\ mm$

A 10 kg bear is running to the right at 10 m/s. He crashes into another 10 kg bear running to the left at -5 m/s. They collide a

faust18 [17]

Answer:

<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of

$p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(10)(10)+(10)(-50)=50\ kg.m/s$

When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is

$p'=(20)(2.5)=50 \ kg.m/s$

We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved
