How do longshore currents shape the land?

2 answers:

5 0

Longshore drift has a very powerful influence on the shape and composition of the coastline. It changes the slopes of beaches and creates long, narrow shoals of land called spits, that extend out from shore. Longshore drift may also create or destroy entire “barrier islands” along a shoreline.

A 120 V fish-tank heater is rated at 130W. Calculate (a) the current through the heater when it is operating, and (b) its resist

7nadin3 [17]

Explanation:

The power P dissipated by a heater is defined as

$P = VI$

where V is the voltage and I is the current.

a) The current running through a 130-W heater is

$I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{120\:\text{V}} = 1.08\:\text{A}$

b) The resistance <em>R</em><em> </em>of the heater is

$P = VI = (IR)I = I^2R$

where $V= IR$ is our familiar Ohm's Law.

$\Rightarrow R = \dfrac{P}{I^2} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{(1.08\:\text{A})^2}$

$R = 110.8\:Ω$

Two objects carry initial charges that are q1 and q2, respectively, where |q2| > |q1|. They are located 0.160 m apart and beh

mart [117]

Answer:

$\rm |q_1|=8.0\times 10^{-7}\ C,\ \ \ |q_2| = 4.6\times 10^{-6}\ C.$

Explanation:

According to the Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two static point charges $\rm q_1$ and $\rm q_1$ , separated by a distance $\rm r$ , is given by

$\rm F = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}.$

where k is the Coulomb's constant.

Initially,

$\rm r = 0.160\ m\\F_i = -1.30\ N.\\\\and \ \ |q_2|>|q_1|.$

The negative sign is taken with force F because the force is attractive.

Therefore, the initial electrostatic force between the charges is given by

$\rm F_i = \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}.\\-1.30=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{0.160^2}\\\rm\Rightarrow q_2 = \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{q_1k}\ \ \ ..............\ (1).$

Now, the objects are then brought into contact, so the net charge is shared equally, and then they are returned to their initial positions.

The force is now repulsive, therefore, $\rm F_f = +1.30\ N.$

The new charges on the two objects are

$\rm q_1'=q_2' = \dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}.$

The new force is given by

$\rm F_f = \dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{r^2}\\+1.30=\dfrac{k\left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )\left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )}{0.160^2}\\\Rightarrow \left (\dfrac{q_1+q_2}{2}\right )^2=\dfrac{+1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\(q_1+q_2)^2=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\q_1^2+q_2^2+2q_1q_2=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\\\$

Using (1),

$\rm q_1^2+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{q_1k}\right )^2+2\left (\dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=\dfrac{4\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\\q_1^2+\dfrac 1{q_1^2}\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0\\q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0$

$\rm q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{k}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{k} \right )=0\\q_1^4+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9}\right )^2-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9} \right )=0\\q_1^4-q_1^2\left (\dfrac{6\times 1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9} \right )+\left ( \dfrac{-1.30\times 0.160^2}{9\times 10^9}\right )^2=0$

$\rm q_1^4-q_1^2\left (2.22\times 10^{-11} \right )+\left ( 1.37\times 10^{-23}\right ) =0\\\Rightarrow q_1^2 = \dfrac{-(-2.22\times 10^{-11})\pm \sqrt{(-2.22\times 10^{-11})^2-4\cdot (1)\cdot (1.37\times 10^{-23})}}{2}\\=1.11\times 10^{-11}\pm 1.046\times 10^{-11}.\\=6.4\times 10^{-13}\ \ \ or\ \ \ 2.156\times 10^{-11}\\\Rightarrow q_1 = \pm 8.00\times 10^{-7}\ C\ \ \ or\ \ \ \pm 4.64\times 10^{-6}\ C.$
