Any unit of acceleration must have the dimensions (form) of
(a unit of length) / (a unit of time)²
Answer:
The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.
Explanation:
From coulomb's law, F = Eq
Thus,
F = E₁q₁
F = E₂q₂
Then
E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

where;
E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?
E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C
q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC
q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC
Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.
However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.
Answer:
The percentage of its mechanical energy does the ball lose with each bounce is 23 %
Explanation:
Given data,
The tennis ball is released from the height, h = 4 m
After the third bounce it reaches height, h' = 183 cm
= 1.83 m
The total mechanical energy of the ball is equal to its maximum P.E
E = mgh
= 4 mg
At height h', the P.E becomes
E' = mgh'
= 1.83 mg
The percentage of change in energy the ball retains to its original energy,
ΔE % = 45 %
The ball retains only the 45% of its original energy after 3 bounces.
Therefore, the energy retains in each bounce is
∛ (0.45) = 0.77
The ball retains only the 77% of its original energy.
The energy lost to the floor is,
E = 100 - 77
= 23 %
Hence, the percentage of its mechanical energy does the ball lose with each bounce is 23 %
Answer:
It's impossible for an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.
Explanation:
Option A is incomplete and so it's possible.
Option B is possible
Option D is related to the first lae and has nothing to do with the second law.
Hence, the correct option is C.
The ideal engine follows a reversible cycle albeit an infinitely slow one. If the work is being done at this infinitely slow rate, the power of such an engine is zero.
We can also stat the second law of thermodynamics in this manner;
It is impossible to construct a cyclical heat engine whose sole effect is the continuous transfer of heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one.
This statement is known as second form or Clausius statement of the second law.
Thus, it is possible to construct a machine in which a heat flow from a colder to a hotter object is accompanied by another process, such as work input.
