A surface encloses the charges q1 = 3.2 Î¼C , q2 = 6.7 Î¼C , and q3 = -3.8 Î¼C. Find the electric flux through this surface.

1 answer:

3 0

Electric flux is the rate of flow of the electric field through a given area (see ). Electric flux is proportional to the number of electric field lines going through a virtual surface. Mathematically can be described as,

$\phi = \frac{q_{in}}{\epsilon_0}$

Here,

q = Charge of the surface

$\epsilon_0$ = permittivity of free space constant

The surface charge is equivalent to the sum of the charges presented, therefore replacing,

$\phi= \frac{q_1+q_2+q_3}{\epsilon_0}$

$\phi = \frac{3.2+6.7+(3.8)}{8.85*10^{-12}}$

$\phi = 1.548*10^{12}N\cdot m^2/C$

Therefore the electric flux thorugh this surface is $1.548*10^{12}N\cdot m^2/C$

Answer:

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

Explanation:

mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object. The total mechanical energy is the sum of these two forms of energy.

The Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but is merely changed from one form into another. This means that potential energy can become kinetic energy, or vice versa, but energy cannot “disappear”.

The mechanical energy is converted to potential energy while the kinetic energy is zero

The greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature of planets

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Green house effect:

Temperature of atmosphere is going to increased continuously, because infrared light absorbed by gas .This increased in temperature atmosphere is called green house effect.

The green houses gases are as follows

,Carbon diaoxide,water vapor ,,Carbon diaoxide ,Methane ,,Carbon diaoxide oxide,CFCs ,ozone.

So the option c is correct.

A horizontal force of magnitude 30.2 N pushes a block of mass 3.50 kg across a floor where the coefficient of kinetic friction i

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

A) 89.39 J

B) 30.39J

C) 23.8 J

Explanation:

We are given;

F = 30.2N

m = 3.5 kg

μ_k = 0.646

d = 2.96m

ΔEth (Block) = 35.2J

A) Work done by the applied force on the block-floor system is given as;

W = F•d

Thus, W = 30.2 x 2.96 = 89.39 J

B) Total thermal energy dissipated by the whole system which includes the floor and the block is given as;

ΔEth = μ_k•mgd

Thus, ΔEth = 0.646 x 3.5 x 9.8 x 2.96 = 65.59J

Now, we are given the thermal energy of the block which is ΔEth (Block) = 35.2J.

Thus,

ΔEth = ΔEth (Block) + ΔEth (floor)

Thus,

ΔEth (floor) = ΔEth - ΔEth (Block)

ΔEth (floor) = 65.59J - 35.2J = 30.39J

C) The total work done is considered as the sum of the thermal energy dissipated as heat and the kinetic energy of the block. Thus;

W = K + ΔEth

Therefore;

K = W - ΔEth

K = 89.39 - 65.59 = 23.8J

A 0.49-kg cord is stretched between two supports, 7.8m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wave travels

katovenus [111]

To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Here,

v = Velocity

$\mu$ = Linear density (Mass per unit length)

T = Tension

Rearranging to find the Period we have that

$T = v^2 \mu$

$T = v^2 (\frac{m}{L})$

As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to

$T = (\frac{L}{t}) ^2(\frac{m}{L})$

$T = (\frac{7.8}{0.83})^2 (\frac{0.49}{7.8})$

$T = 5.54N$

Therefore the tension is 5.54N

11 e) Can a conductor be given limitless charge? Obtain the equivalent resistance of several resistors if (a) they are in series

horsena [70]

Answer:

(e) no

(a) Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b) 1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''

Explanation:

11 e)

Practically it is not possible to give limitless charge to a conductor. It depends to the number of valence electrons.

(a) When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in series combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I.

According to Ohm's law

Voltage across R', V' = I R'

Voltage across R'', V'' = I R''

Voltage across R''', V''' = I R'''

So, let the equivalent resistance is Rs.

I Rs = I R' + I R'' + I R'''

Rs = R' + R'' + R'''

(b)

When the three resistances R'. R'' and R''' is in parallel combination.

Let they are connected to the voltage V and the current in each resistance is I', I''. I'''.

Current in R', I' = V/R'

Current in R'', I'' = V/R''

Current in R''', I''' = V/R'''

The equivalent resistance is Rp.

V/Rp = V/R' + V/ R'' + V/R'''

1/Rp = 1/R' + 1/R'' + 1/R'''
