Answer:

A 20 Hz sound wave is 75 m long in the water (1500/20 = 75) whereas a 20 Hz sound wave in air is only 17 m long (340/20 = 17) in air. As we descend below the surface of the sea, the speed of sound decreases with decreasing temperature.

Two point charges are on the y-axis. A 3.0 µC charge is located at y = 1.15 cm, and a -2.28 µC charge is located at y = -2.00 cm

Ghella [55]

Answer:

Total electric potential, $V=1.32\times 10^6\ volts$

Explanation:

It is given that,

First charge, $q_1=3\ \mu C=3\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Second charge, $q_2=-2.28\ \mu C=-2.28\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance of first charge from origin, $r_1=1.15\ cm=0.0115\ m$

Distance of second charge from origin, $r_2=2\ cm=0.02\ m$

We need to find the total electric potential at the origin. The electric potential at the origin is given by :

$V=\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}$

$V=k(\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{q_2}{r_2})$

$V=9\times 10^9(\dfrac{3\times 10^{-6}}{0.0115}+\dfrac{-2.28\times 10^{-6}}{0.02})$

V = 1321826.08 V

$V=1.32\times 10^6\ volts$

So, the total electric potential at the origin is $1.32\times 10^6\ volts$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Acceleration= $0.5m/s^2$

Speed=0.67 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Horizontal force=F=20 N

Mass of box=m=40 kg

We know that

Acceleration= $a=\frac{F}{m}$

Using the formula

Acceleration of box= $\frac{20}{40}=0.5m/s^2$

The acceleration of the box= $0.5m/s^2$

Initial velocity=u=0

Force=F=30 N

Distance=s=0.3 m

$a=\frac{30}{40}=\frac{3}{4} ms^{-2}$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Substitute the values

$v^2-0=2\times \frac{3}{4}\times 0.3=0.45$

$v^2=0.45$

$v=\sqrt{0.45}=0.67m/s$

Hence, the speed of the box after it has been pulled a distance of 0.3 m=0.67 m/s
