What is an event horizon? Does our Sun have an event horizon around it?

Answer:

The event horizon of a black hole can be thought of either as the place around the black hole where the speed you need to escape becomes greater than the speed of light or as the place where the warping of spacetime around a collapsed star becomes so great that all straight lines pointing outward actually become curved paths bringing you back in. Only black holes have event horizons, so our Sun, which is a star in happy main-sequence equilibrium, cannot have one.

A proton moves from a location where V = 87 V to a spot where V = -40 V. (a) What is the change in the proton's kinetic energy?

Art [367]

Answer: a) 127 eV; b) there is no change of kinetic energy.

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the change of potentail energy ( conservative field) is equal to changes in kinetic energy. So for the proton ther move to lower potential then they gain kinetic energy from the electric field. This means the electric force do work in this trayectory and then the protons increased changes its speed.

If we replace the proton by a electron we have a very different situaction, the electrons are located in a lower potental then they can not move to higher potential if any external force does work on the system.

In resumem, the electrons do not move from a point with V=87 to other point with V=-40 V. The electric force point to high potential so the electrons can not move to lower potential region (V=-40V).

The magnetic field at the equator points north. if you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec

asambeis [7]

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

Your house is 45.0 m from a powerline carrying 152 A of current. How much magnetic field does the current create at your house?

Sedaia [141]

This question involves the concepts of th magnetic field and current.

The magnetic field created by the current at the house is "6.75 x 10⁻⁷ T".

<h3>Magnetic Field</h3>

The magnetic field created by a current carrying wire can be given by the following formula:

$B=\frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}$

where,

B = magnetic field = ?
$\mu_o$ = permeabiliy of free space =4π x 10⁻⁷
I = current = 152 A
r = distance = 45 m

$B=\frac{4\pi x\ 10^{-7}(152)}{2\pi(45)}$

B = 6.75 x 10⁻⁷ T

The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 930 mbars at the beginning of a hiking trip and 780 mbars at the end. Neglecting the eff

lara31 [8.8K]

We could use the change of pressure to calculate for the height climbed by the mountain hiker. The change of pressure is given by

p = rho * g * h, where p is the change of pressure, rho is the air density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

Using the conversion 1 mbar = 100 Pa,

(930 - 780)(100) = (1.20)(9.80)h
15000 = 1.20*9.80*h

h = 1.28 km
