Answer:

13 blocks

Explanation:

The total distance the student travels is 13 blocks.

 Distance is the length of path covered during the motion of a body.

 To find distance:

 Total distance  = Number of blocks to the west + number of blocks to the north + number of blocks to the east

 Total distance  = 3blocks + 4blocks + 6blocks  = 13blocks

Consider two thin, coaxial, coplanar, uniformly charged rings with radii a and b푏 (a
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

electric potential, V = -q(a²- b²)/8π∈₀r³

Explanation:

Question (in proper order)

Consider two thin coaxial, coplanar, uniformly charged rings with radii a and b (b < a) and charges q and -q, respectively. Determine the potential at large distances from the rings

<em>consider the attached diagram below</em>

the electric potential at point p, distance r from the center of the outer charged ring with radius a is as given below

Va = q/4π∈₀ [1/(a² + b²)¹/²]

Va = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

Also

the electric potential at point p, distance r from the center of the inner charged ring with radius b is

Vb = \frac{-q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

Sum of the potential at point p is

V = Va + Vb

that is

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } + \frac{-q}{4\pi e0 } * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * \frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } - \frac{q}{4\pi e0 } * \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * [\frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }]

the expression below can be written as the equivalent

\frac{1}{(a^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }  = \frac{1}{(r^{2} + a^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }

likewise,

\frac{1}{(b^{2} + r^{2} )^{1/2} }  = \frac{1}{(r^{2} + b^{2} )^{1/2} } = \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }

hence,

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0} * [\frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{{r(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }]

1/r is common to both equation

hence, we have it out and joined to the 4π∈₀ denominator that is outside

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [\frac{1}{{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} } - \frac{1}{{(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{1/2} }]

by reciprocal rule

1/a² = a⁻²

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} - {(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2}]

by binomial expansion of fractional powers

where (1+a)^{n} =1+na+\frac{n(n-1)a^{2} }{2!}+ \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)a^{3}}{3!}+...

if we expand the expression we have the equivalent as shown

{(1^{2} + \frac{a^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} = (1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } )

also,

{(1^{2} + \frac{b^{2} }{r^{2} } )}^{-1/2} = (1-\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } )

the above equation becomes

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [((1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } ) - (1-\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } )]

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [1-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } - 1+\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} }]

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [-\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} } +\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} }]\\\\V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * [\frac{b^{2} }{2r^{2} } -\frac{a^{2} }{2r^{2} }]

V = \frac{q}{4\pi e0 r} * \frac{1}{2r^{2} } *(b^{2} -a^{2} )

V = \frac{q}{8\pi e0 r^{3} } * (b^{2} -a^{2} )

Answer

V = \frac{q (b^{2} -a^{2} )}{8\pi e0 r^{3} }

OR

V = \frac{-q (a^{2} -b^{2} )}{8\pi e0 r^{3} }

Please help me with this question :
aalyn [17]

Answer:

  • 514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

  • 602.93 nm  ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

Explanation:

A) wavelength of visible light that is most strongly reflected from a point on a soap

refraction n = 1.33

wall thickness (t) = 290 nm

2nt = (2m +1 ) ∝/2 -----equation 1

note when m = 0

therefore ∝ =  4nt/ 1 = 4 * 1.33 * 290 = 1542.8nm we will discard this

when m = 1

equation 1 becomes

∝ = 4nt/3 =( 4 * 1.33 * 290) /  3 = 1542.8 / 3 = 514.27 ( wavelength )

the color is green

B) the wavelength when the wall thickness is 340 nm

∝ = 4nt / 2m +1

where m = 1

∝ = (4 * 1.33 * 340 ) / 3  = 1808.8 / 3 = 602.93 nm  ( orange color )

the observation is that there is a change of visible color

valkas [14]

Answer:

.7934m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time

A = 10.98m/s / 13.84s

A series of optical telescopes produced an image that has a resolution of about 0.00350 arc second.
Mila [183]

Answer:

The smallest diameter is D =122 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The resolution of the telescope is \theta  =  0.00350 \ arc \ second

           The wavelength is  \lambda = 1.70 \mu m = 1.70 *10^{-6} \ m

From the question we are told that

        1 arc \ sec = \frac{1}{3600^o}

So      0.00350 \ arc \ second = x

Therefore

             x =  0.00350  *  \frac{1}{3600 }

              x = ( 9.722*10^{-7} )^o

Now  1^o  =  \frac{\pi}{180}

   So  (9.722*10^{-7})^o =  \theta

  =>    \theta  =  (9.722*10^{-7}) * \frac{\pi}{180}

           \theta  =  1.69*10^{-8} rad

The smallest diameter is mathematically represented  as

          D = \frac{1.22 \lambda }{\theta  }

substituting values

           D = \frac{1.22 * 1.7 *10^{-6}} {1.69 *10^{-8}  }

           D =122 \ m
