Answer:

The amount of workdone by in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is $\mathbf{ 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}$

Explanation:

Given that the tank is 6 feet across the top and 5 feet high.

Using the similar triangles.

$\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{r}{y}$

5r = 3y

$r = \dfrac{3}{5} y$

Thus; each disc is a circle with area

A = $\pi ( \frac{3}{5} y)^2$

The weight of each disc is ;

$m = \rho_{water}A$

= 62.4 × $\pi ( \frac{3}{5} y)^2$

= $\dfrac{561.6}{25} \pi y^2$

The distance pumped is 5-y

Thus; the workdone in pumping the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is :

$W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25} \int\limits^5_0 {(5-y)} \, y^2dy$

$W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25} \int\limits^5_0 {(5y^2-y^3)} dy$

$W = \dfrac{561.6 \pi}{25}[52.083]$

$\mathbf{W = 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}$

The amount of workdone by in emptying the tank by pumping the water over the top edge is $\mathbf{ 1169.99 \pi \ ft-lbs}$

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$ , $2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electromagnetic force between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equal to the centripetal force:

$k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

e is the magnitude of the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

v is the speed of the electron

$m_e$ is the mass of the electron

Solving for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$

Inside an atom of hydrogen, the distance between the electron and the nucleus is approximately

$r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m$

while the electron mass is

$m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$

and the charge is

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Substituting into the formula, we find

$v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

a length of wire is cut into five equal pieces. the five pieces are then connected in parallel, with the resulting resistance be

Natali [406]

The equivalent resistance of n resistors connected in parallel is given by
$\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2}+...+ \frac{1}{R_n}$ (1)

In our problem, the resulting resistance of the 5 pieces connected in parallel is $R_{Eq}=2.00 \Omega$ , and since the 5 pieces are identical, their resistance R is identical, so we can rewrite (1) as
$\frac{1}{R_{Eq} }= \frac{1}{2 \Omega}= \frac{1}{R}+ \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{R} = \frac{5}{R}$
From which we find $R= 5 \cdot 2 \Omega = 10 \Omega$ .

So, each piece of wire has a resistance of $10 \Omega$ . Before the wire was cut, the five pieces were connected as they were in series. The equivalent resistance of a series of n resistors is given by
$R_{Eq}=R_1 + R_2 + ...+R_n$
So if we apply it at our case, we have
$R_{eq}=R+R+R+R+R=5 R= 5\cdot 10 \Omega= 50 \Omega$

therefore, the resistance of the original wire was $50 \Omega$ .
