Answer:

James Prescott Joule

James Prescott Joule, (born December 24, 1818, Salford, Lancashire [now in Greater Manchester], England—died October 11, 1889, Sale, Cheshire), English physicist who established that the various forms of energy—mechanical, electrical, and heat—are basically the same and can be changed one into another.James Prescott Joule experimented with engines, electricity and heat throughout his life. Joule's findings resulted in his development of the mechanical theory of heat and Joule's law, which quantitatively describes the rate at which heat energy is produced from electric energy by the resistance in a circuit.

A hollow metal sphere is electrically neutral (no excess charge). A small amount of negative charge is suddenly placed at one po
anygoal [31]

Answer and explanation:

The right answer is b) "The excess charge has distributed itself evenly over the outside surface of the sphere".

The hollow metal sphere is a conductor. This means that charges can move freely over its surface. On the other side, a metal body act as an equipotential body. Once some charge is set and there is no voltage differential imprinted over the body, to keep being an equipotential body the charges must distribute evenly on the external surface. Must not exist charge in the volume, or would exist an electrical field and therefore a voltage differential. Also, the charge distribution in the internal surface must be null. If you apply gauss theorem with a gaussian sphere with a radius between the internal and external surface, knowing that field E is null, the enclosed charge must be null.

You make a telephone call from New York to a friend in London. Estimate how long it will take the electrical signal generated by
nadezda [96]

Answer:

a)  t = 2 10⁻² s ,  t = 2.4 10-1 s

Explanation:

In this exercise they indicate the delay in two signals

a) A signal travels on an electrical cable, between New York and London.

The wave formed in this wire for the signal. This wave travels at the speed of light, c = 3 108 m / s, so the delay is very small

                t = d / c

               t = 6000 10³/3 10⁸

               t = 2 10⁻² s

b) The signal points to a satellite in geostationary orbit

                   distance traveled = √ (2 36000 10³)² + 6000²

                  distance = 72 10⁶ m

the waiting time is

                t = d / c

                t = 72 10⁶/3 10⁸

               t = 2.4 10-1 s

    we can see that the signal sent by the satellites has more delay because its distance is much greater
