Estimate how long it would take one person to mow a football field using an ordinary home lawn mower. Assume the mower moves wit

Answer:

t = 11.9 h = 0.49 day

Explanation:

First of all, we will find the area covered by the mower per unit time:

Rate\ of\ Area\ Covered\ by\ Mower = vw

where,

v = speed of mower = 1 km/h = 1000 m/h

w = width of mower = 0.6 m

Therefore,

Rate\ of\ Area\ Covered\ by\ Mower = (1000\ m/h)(0.6\ m)\\Rate\ of\ Area\ Covered\ by\ Mower = 600\ m^{2}/h

Now, the standard football ground has an area of:

A = 105 m x 68 m = 7140 m²

Therefore, The time required to mow the lawn will be:

Time\ to\ Mow\ the\ Lawn = t = \frac{A}{Rate\ of\ Area\ Covered\ by\ Mower}\\t = \frac{7140\ m^{2}}{600\ m^{2}/h}

<u>t = 11.9 h = 0.49 day</u>

What is the trend noticed with the inner planets
lutik1710 [3]
The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. ... The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.Apr 23, 2014

A solid sphere of radius 40.0 cm has a total positive charge of 16.2 μC uniformly distributed throughout its volume. Calculate t
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

(a) E=0  :   0 cm from the center of the sphere

(b) E= 227.8*10³ N/C   :    10.0 cm from the center of the sphere

(c)E= 911.25*10³ N/C    :    40.0 cm from the center of the sphere

(d)E= 411.84 * 10³ N/C  :    59.5 cm from the center of the sphere

Explanation:

If we have a uniform charge sphere we can use the following formulas to calculate the Electric field due to the charge of the sphere

E=\frac{K*Q}{r^{2} } : Formula (1) To calculate the electric field in the region outside the sphere r ≥ a

E=k*\frac{Q}{a^{3} } *r :Formula (2) To calculate the electric field in the inner region of the sphere. r ≤ a

Where:

K: coulomb constant

a: sphere radius

Q:  Total sphere charge

r : Distance from the center of the sphere to the region where the electric field is calculated

Equivalences

1μC=10⁻⁶C

1cm= 10⁻²m

Data

k= 9*10⁹ N*m²/C²

Q=16.2 μC=16.2 *10⁻⁶C

a= 40 cm = 40*10⁻²m = 0.4m

Problem development

(a)Magnitude of the electric field at  0 cm :

We replace r=0 in the formula (2) , then, E=0

(b) Magnitude of the electric field at 10.0 cm from the center of the sphere

r<a , We apply the Formula (2):

E=9*10^{9} *\frac{16.2*10^{-6} }{0.4^{3} } *0.1

E= 227.8*10³ N/C

(c) Magnitude of the electric field at 40.0 cm from the center of the sphere

r=a, We apply the Formula (1) :

E=\frac{9*10^{9}*16.2*10^{-6} }{0.4^{2} }

E= 911.25*10³ N/C

(d) Magnitude of the electric field at 59.5 cm from the center of the sphere  

r>a , We apply the Formula (1) :

E=\frac{9*10^{9}*16.2*10^{-6} }{0.595^{2} }

E= 411.84 * 10³ N/C

Which of the following is true about light?
ale4655 [162]
Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".

It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.

If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.

And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.
