Answer:

A hypothesis is a suggested solution for an unexplained occurrence that does not fit into current accepted scientific theory.For a hypothesis to be termed a scientific hypothesis, it has to be something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation.

The electric potential at the dot in the figure is 3160 V. What is charge q?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for electric potential of a point charge:

$V = \frac{kQ}{r}$

V = Electric potential (V)
k = Coulomb's Constant(Nm²/C²)

Q = Charge (C)
r = distance (m)

We can begin by solving for the given electric potentials. Remember, charge must be accounted for. Electric potential is also a SCALAR quantity.

Upper right charge's potential:

$V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(-5 * 10^{-9})}{0.04} = -1123.75 V$

Lower left charge's potential:

$V = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(5*10^{-9})}{0.02} = 2247.5 V$

Add the two, and subtract from the total EP at the point:

$3160 + 1123.75 - 2247.5 = 2036.25$

The remaining charge must have a potential of 2036.25 V, so:

$2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)(Q)}{\sqrt{0.02^2 + 0.04^2}}\\\\2036.25 = \frac{(8.99*10^9)Q}{0.0447} \\\\Q = 0.000000010127 = \boxed{10.13nC}$

A low orbit satellite at 100 km altitude had a camera that resolved a car location to within 0.3 meter. Find the minimum diamete

NeX [460]

Answer:

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

Explanation:

y = Resolve distance = 0.3 m

h = Height of satellite = 100 km

λ = Wavelength = 550 nm

Angular resolution

$tan\theta\approx \theta =\frac{y}{h}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\frac{0.3}{100\times 10^3}=3\times 10^{-6}$

From Rayleigh criteria

$sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\frac{550\times 10^{-9}}{sin3\times 10^{-6}}=0.2236\ m=22.4\ cm$

Minimum diameter of the camera lens is 22.4 cm

Relation between resolvable feature, focal length and angular resolution

$d=f\Delta \theta\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{d}{\Delta \theta}\\\Rightarrow f=\frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{3\times 10^{-6}}=3\ m=300\ cm$

The focal length of the camera's lens is 300cm

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, how many counts per second would be obser

Alona [7]

Answer:

<h2><em>6000 counts per second</em></h2>

Explanation:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1

In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;

x count per second = 3 meter ... 2

Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter

x counts per second = 3 meter

Cross multiply to get x

2000 * 3 = 1* x

6000 = x

<em>This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample</em>
