A small sphere with mass 5.00×10−7 kg and charge +8.00 μC is released from rest a distance of 0.500 m above a large horizontal i

nsulating sheet of charge that has uniform surface charge density σ = +8.00 pC/m2.
Using energy methods, calculate the speed of the sphere when it is 0.100 m above the sheet.

<span>Work done on charge is W = Eqd = σ/(2ε₀) x q x d = {(8.00 x 10⁻¹²)/(2 x 8.854187 x 10⁻¹²)} x 3.00 x 10⁻⁶ x (0.650 - 0.250) = 5.42116402J. KE of sphere = 0.5mv² = 0.5 x 5.00 x 10⁻⁷v² = work done by E-field on charge during its fall = 5.42116402→ v = 4657 m/s.</span>

after a large snowstorm you shovel 2000 kilograms of snow off your side walk in 1 hour. you lift the shovel to an average height
solmaris [256]

Lifting a mass to a height, you give it gravitational potential energy of

       (mass) x (gravity) x (height)  joules.

To give it that much energy, that's how much work you do on it.

If 2,000 kg gets lifted to 1.25 meters off the ground, its potential energy is

         (2,000) x (9.8) x (1.25) = 24,500 joules.

If you do it in 1 hour (3,600 seconds), then the average power is

           (24,500 joules) / (3,600 seconds) = 6.8 watts.

None of these figures depends on whether the load gets lifted all at once,
or one shovel at a time, or one flake at a time.

But this certainly is NOT all the work you do.  When you get a shovelful
of snow 1.25 meters off the ground, you don't drop it and walk away, and
it doesn't just float there. You typically toss it, away from where it was laying
and over onto a pile in a place where you don't care if there's a pile of snow
there. In order to toss it, you give it some kinetic energy, so that it'll continue
to sail over to the pile when it leaves the shovel.  All of that kinetic energy
must also come from work that you do ... nobody else is going to take it
from you and toss it onto the pile.

Which of the following describes the mesophyll in a leaf?
forsale [732]

Mesophyll only occurs in some plants, and not the usual C3 plants that everyone learns about. In fact, mesophyll is mainly used in photosynthesis - for its light dependent reactions (primary reactions). Therefore, I'd say it's c) the structure which stores glucose for later use.

Describe how humans’ actions and natural processes have modified coastal regions in Louisiana and other locations
il63 [147K]
Coastal erosion has depleted a large portion of South Louisiana's wetlands along the coastline in swamps and marshes mainly due to storm surges. But other factors also contributed to this erosion. Canals and waterways dug through the marshes and swamps for the oil industry is one factor. Man-made levees erected to provide protection to residents living adjacent to the river is another major cause. Large scale logging especially in the early 1900's also damaged the wetlands.

What happens to the amplitude of the resultant wave when two sound waves with equal amplitude constructively interfere?
Alik [6]

Answer:

For two waves of equal amplitude interfering constructively, the resulting amplitude is twice as large as the amplitude of an individual wave. For 100 waves of the same amplitude interfering constructively, the resulting amplitude is 100 times larger than the amplitude of an individual wave.
