How efficient are the small and large scale solar-power systems used in individual homes and industrial settings?

These two magnets are held close together, as shown. What directions will they move once released?

frozen [14]

I think the magnets will move towards each other due to the opposite poles being attracted to each other

A very long, uniformly charged cylinder has radius R and linear charge density λ. Find the cylinder's electric field strength ou

mixer [17]

The cylinder's electric field magnitude, at a distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder (greater than the cylinder's radius), is equal to $E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}$

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Matter is the building block of everything that we encounter in our lives. Matter is made of atoms, which are in turn made of tiny particles which are called electrons, protons, and neutrons. The ammount of these 3 elements, and their topological configuration in the atoms, is what determines what a certain element is (like Carbon, Hydrogen, Iron, etc).

In some cases, some elements may lose or gain some electrons. Regarded that this missing or extra electrons are not very high in number, the material doesn't lose any of its properties, however it will always try to get its number of electrons back to normal. This is when we say that an element has a <em>charge</em>, which is a measure of how much electrons a body needs to get back to normal. A body has positive charge if it lacks electrons, and has negative charge if it has extra electrons.

This charge causes the material to have an Electric field, which is a measure of how much does it attract or repel electrons. In the case of our problem, we need to compute exactly that, the Electric field. In our problem, we have an infinitely long cylinder with a linear charge density $\lambda$ , this means that all parts of the cylinder have the same charge, and due to symmetry, the electric field is constant on the angular and longitudinal directions of the cylinder.

This makes easy to apply Gauss' Law, since for a Gaussian curve in the shape of a concentric cylinder (with a higher radius than that of our charged cylinder) we can write:

$\Phi = \frac{\lambda \cdot L}{\epsilon_0}$

Where $\Phi$ is called the Electric flux. Since the electric field is constant for a given distance <em>r</em> from the axis of the cylinder we can write that:

$\Phi = E \cdot 2\pi r \cdot L$

Joining both our expressions we can get that:

$E= \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 \cdot r}$

The direction of an electric field is the direction (5 points)

vlabodo [156]

The direction of an electric field is determined from the behavior of a positive test charge that is set free in the electric field.This charge moves along a distinct vector showing the direction of the electric field Therefore the answer is b. a positive charge will move in the field.

Elect the correct answer. Two identical projectiles, A and B, are launched with the same initial velocity, but the angle of laun

allsm [11]

Answer:

A. The range of A and B are equal.

Explanation:

Let u be the initial speed of both the projectile.

The gravitational force acting in the projectile is in the downward direction, sp the speed of the projectile in the horizontal direction remains constant and equals to the initial horizontal speed.

For projectile, a projectile having initial velocity u at an angle \theta with the horizontal direction,

The speed in the horizontal direction $= u\cos\theta$

and the speed in the vertical direction is $= u\sin\theta$ upward.

For A:

The speed in the horizontal direction $= u\cos75^{\circ}$

and the speed in the vertical direction is $= u\sin75^{\circ}$ upward.

For B:

The speed in the horizontal direction $= u\cos15^{\circ}$

and the speed in the vertical direction is $= u\sin15^{\circ}$ upward.

Let $t_A$ and $t_B$ are the time of flight for projectile A and B respectively.

As the range is the horizontal distance traveled by the projectile, so

The range for the projectile A $= u\cos75^{\circ}\times t_A\cdots(i)$

The range for the projectile B = $u\cos15^{\circ}\times t_B\cdots(ii)$

At the highest point, the vertical velocity is 0.

Bu using the equation of motion $v^2=u^2 +2a s.$

Here, the final velocity v=0, the initial velocity $u = u \sin \theta$ , h= vertical distance up to the highest point, and $a= -g$ (as per sign convention).
