Answer:

N/C = V/m.

Explanation:

The SI unit of electric field is N/C. Sometimes the units are written as V/m.

We know that,

1 V = 1 J/C

Using dimensional analysis,

The dimensional formula for Joules is [M¹L² T⁻²].

The dimensional form of coulomb is [M⁰ L⁰ T¹ I¹].

So,

J/C = [M¹L² T⁻³I¹] ...(1)

The dimensional formula of Newton is [M¹ L¹ T⁻²]

The dimensional form of coulomb is [M⁰ L⁰ T¹ I¹].

N/C= [M¹L² T⁻³I¹] ....(2)

From (1) and (2) it is clear that the N/C is equal to V/m.

An object with velocity 141 ft/s has a kinetic energy of 1558.71 ftâˆ™lbf, on a planet whose gravity is 31.5 ft/s2. What is its

Sidana [21]

Answer:

The mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic energy of the object, K.E = 1558.71 ft.lbf

velocity of the object, V = 141 ft/s

The kinetic energy of the object is calculated as;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2} mV^2\\\\mV^2 = 2K.E\\\\m = \frac{2K.E}{V^2} \\\\1 \ lbf = 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2\\\\m = \frac{2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ ft.lbf \ \times \ 32.174 \ lbm.ft/s^2 }{(141 \ ft/s)2 \ \ \times \ \ \ \ 1 \ lbf\ }$

$m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm.ft^2/s^2 }{(141 )^2\ ft^2/s^2 }\\\\m = \frac{(2 \ \times \ 1558.71 \ \times \ 32.174) \ lbm }{(141 )^2 }\\\\m = 5.045 \ lbm$

Therefore, the mass of the object is 5.045 lbm.

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff and eventually hits the ground below. A second stone is dropped from rest

xeze [42]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the question:

When the stone is thrown from the cliff top and hits the ground below eventually:

R = $v_{o}\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

where

$v_{o}$ = initial velocity

H = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

R = horizontal Range

Now,

(a) Displacement of the stone is given by the horizontal range:

R = $v_{o}\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

where

$v_{o}$ = initial velocity

H = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

R = horizontal Range

(b) Speed just prior to the impact is given by the third equation of motion:

$v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2} + 2gH}$

where

v = final velocity

(c) Time of flight is given by the second eqn of motion where the initial velocity is considered to be 0 then:

$H = v_{o}T + \frac{1}{2}gT^{2}$

$H = 0.T + \frac{1}{2}gT^{2}$

T = $\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}$

Determine the inductance L of a 0.65-m-long air-filled solenoid 3.2 cm in diameter containing 8400 loops.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The inductance is $L = 0.1097 \ H$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length is $l = 0.65 \ m$

The diameter is $d = 3.2 cm = 0.032 \ m$

The number of loops is $N = 8400$

Generally the radius is evaluated as

$r = \frac{ 0.032 }{2} = 0.016 \ m$

The inductance is mathematically represented as

$L = \frac{ \mu_o * N^2 * A }{ l }$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value $\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

A is the cross-sectional area which is mathematically evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2$

=> $A = 3.142 * (0.016)^2$

=> $A = 0.000804 \ m^2$

=> $L = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 8400^2 * 0.000804 }{ 0.65 }$

=> $L = 0.1097 \ H$
