Answer:

B) \frac{2}{3}

Explanation:

The electric force between charges can be determined by;

F = \frac{kq_{1} q_{2} }{r^{2} }

Where: F is the force, k is the Coulomb's constant, q_{1} is the value of the first charge, q_{2} is the value of the second charge, r is the distance between the centers of the charges.

Let the original charge be represented by q, so that;

q_{1} = 2q

q_{2} = \frac{q}{3}

So that,

F = q_{1}q_{2} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = 2q x \frac{q}{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2q^{2} }{3} x \frac{k}{r^{2} }

  = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

F = \frac{2}{3} x \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

The electric force between the given charges would change by \frac{2}{3}.

A mass of 10 g of oxygen fill a weighted piston–cylinder device at 20 kPa and 110°C. The device is now cooled until the tempe
mezya [45]

Answer:

The change of the volume of the device during this cooling is 14.3\times10^{-3}\ m^3

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of oxygen = 10 g

Pressure = 20 kPa

Initial temperature = 110°C

Final temperature = 0°C

We need to calculate the change of the volume of the device during this cooling

Using formula of change volume

\Delta V=V_{2}-V_{1}

\Delta V=\dfrac{mR}{P}(T_{2}-T_{1})

Put the value into the formula

\Delta V=\dfrac{0.3125\times0.0821}{2.0265\times10^{9}}(383-273)

\Delta V=14.297\ L

\Delta V=14.3\times10^{-3}\ m^3

Hence, The change of the volume of the device during this cooling is 14.3\times10^{-3}\ m^3

enot [183]

Answer:

Final velocity at the bottom of hill is 15.56 m/s.

Explanation:

The given problem can be divided into four parts:

1. Use conservation of momentum to determine the speed of the combined mass (Gayle and sled)

From the law of conservation of momentum (perfectly inelastic collision), the combined velocity is given as:  

p_i = p_f  

m_1u_1 + m_2v_2 = (m_1 + m_2)v

v = \frac{(m_1u_1 + m_2v_2)}{(m_1 + m_2)}

v=\frac{[50.0\ kg)(3.85\ m/s) + 0]}{(50.0\ kg + 5.00\ kg)}= 3.5\ m/s  

2. Use conservation of energy to determine the speed after traveling a vertical height of 5 m.

The velocity of Gayle and sled at the instant her brother jumps on is found from the law of conservation of energy:  

E(i) = E(f)  

KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)  

0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)  

v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]}

Here, initial velocity is the final velocity from the first stage. Therefore:  

v(f) = \sqrt{[(3.5)^2+2(9.8)(5.00-0)]}= 10.5\ m/s

3. Use conservation of momentum to find the combined speed of Gayle and her brother.  

Given:

Initial velocity of Gayle and sled is, u_1(i)=10.5 m/s

Initial velocity of her brother is, u_2(i)=0 m/s

Mass of Gayle and sled is, m_1=55.0 kg

Mass of her brother is, m_2=30.0 kg

Final combined velocity is given as:

v(f) = \frac{[m_1u_1(i) + m_2u_2(i)]}{(m_1 + m_2)}  

v(f)=\frac{[(55.0)(10.5) + 0]}{(55.0+30.0)}= 6.79 m/s  

4. Finally, use conservation of energy to determine the final speed at the bottom of the hill.

Using conservation of energy, the final velocity at the bottom of the hill is:  

E(i) = E(f)  

KE(i) + PE(i) = KE(f) + PE(f)  

0.5mv^2(i) + mgh(i) = 0.5mv^2(f) + mgh(f)  

v(f) = \sqrt{[v^2(i) + 2g(h(i) - h(f))]} \\v(f)=\sqrt{[(6.79)^2 + 2(9.8)(15 - 5.00)]}\\v(f)= 15.56\ m/s

A chef sanitized a thermometer probe and then checked the temperature of minestrone soup being held in a hot-holding unit. the t
ss7ja [257]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A corrective action is defined as the action with the help of which a person can avoid a difficulty or problem that he/she was facing earlier.

For example, when the chef checked the temperature of soup using thermometer then it was 120 but his operation's critical limit was 135.

So, to avoid this problem he heated the soup to 165 at 15 seconds following which he got the result as desired.

Therefore, reheating the soup was his corrective action.

Thus, we can conclude that reheating the soup was the corrective action.

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = \pi r^2

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

\epsilon_0 = Electric constant = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}

Charge is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}

Number of electron is given by

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.
