Answer:

v = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a rat, d = 1400 m

Time, t = 16 minutes = 960 s

We need to find the average speed of the rat. The speed of an object is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{1400\ m}{960\ s}\\\\v=1.45\ m/s

or

v = 1.5 m/s

So, the average speed of the rat is 1.5 m/s.

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

<u>Superposition Law:</u> the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

E_{total}=E_1+E_2

<u>Thanks Gauss Law</u> we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)

Then:

E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.

spotlight on a boat is 2.5 m above the water, and the light strikes the water at a point that is 8.0 m horizontally displaced fr
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let i be the angle of incidence and r be the angle of refraction .

From the figure

Tan ( 90 - i ) = 2.5 / 8

cot i = 2.5 / 8

Tan i = 8 / 2.5 = 3.2

i = 72.65°

From snell's law

sini / sin r = refractive index

sin 72.65 / sinr = 1.333

sin r = .9545  / 1.333

= .72

r = 46⁰

From the figure

Tan r  = d / 4

Tan 46 = d /4

d = 4 x Tan 46

= 4 x 1.0355

=4.14 m .
