A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a

fortnight is a unit of time corresponding to two weeks, or 14 days and nights. find the speed of light in mega furlongs per fortnight. (one mega furlongs equals a million furlongs.)

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

Using Gauss's law, calculate the electric field at a point distance s from a long wire bearing uniform charge density. i need he
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the electric flux equals the wax charge between the dielectric permeability.

We must define a Gaussian surface that takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem, let's use a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the line of charge. Therefore the angle between the cylinder side area has the same direction of the electric field which is radial.

            Ф = ∫ E . dA = E ∫ dA = q_{int} /ε₀

tells us that the linear charge density is

            λ = q_ {int} /l

            q_ {int} = l λ

we substitute

            E A = l λ /ε₀

is area of ​​cylinder is

           A = 2π r l

we substitute

            E = \frac{ l \ \lambda}{ \epsilon_o \ 2\pi  \ r \ l }

             E = \frac{\lambda}{ 2\pi  \epsilon_o \ r}

the amount

            k = 1 / 4πε₀

            E = 2k  \frac{\lambda}{ r}

A shopper pushes a 5.32 kg grocery cart with a 12.7 N force directed at -28.7° below horizontal. A friction force of 8.33 N push
atroni [7]

Answer:

0.8214 m/s^2

Explanation:

Fnet= Fpushed - Ffriction

Fpushed = 12.7N      Ffriction = 8.33N

Fnet = 12.7N - 8.33N = 4.37N

Fnet= mass(acceleration)

Fnet = 4.37N    mass = 5.32 kg

4.37N = 5.32 kg(acceleration)

acceleration= 0.8214 m/s^2
