The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the gr

ound. To maximize the potential difference between one end of the fluorescent tube and the other, how should the tube be held? Select the best answer from the choices provided. View Available Hint(s) Select the best answer from the choices provided. The potential difference between the ends of the tube does not depend on the tube's orientation. The tube should be held horizontally, parallel to the ground. The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

A television remote control uses infrared light with a wavelength of 940 nm. What is the frequency of the light?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Frequency = 3.19 * 10^14 Hz or 1/s

Explanation:

Relationship b/w frequency and wavelength can be expressed as:

C = wavelength * frequency, where c is speed of light in vacuum which is 3.0*10^8 m/s.

Now simply input value (but before that convert wavelength into meters to match the units, you do this by multiply it by 10^-9 so it will be 940*10^-9)

3.0 * 10^8 = Frequency * 940 x 10^-9

Frequency = 3.19 * 10^14 Hz or 1/s

Here on Earth you hang a mass from a vertical spring and start it oscillating with amplitude 1.9 cm. You observe that it takes 3
Vlada [557]

Answer:

T = 3.23 s

Explanation:

In the simple harmonic movement of a spring with a mass the angular velocity is given by

               w = √ K / m

With the initial data let's look for the ratio k / m

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

           w = 2π f = 2π / T

            2π / T = √ k / m

            k₀ / m₀ = (2π / T)²

            k₀ / m₀ = (2π / 3.0)²

            k₀ / m₀ = 4.3865

The period on the new planet is

          2π / T = √ k / m

           T = 2π √ m / k

In this case the amounts are

           m = 6 m₀

           k = 10 k₀

We replace

            T = 2π√6m₀ / 10k₀

            T = 2π √6/10 √m₀ / k₀

            T = 2π √ 0.6  √1 / 4.3865

            T = 3.23 s

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B with arrow at a speed of 2.50 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration
KIM [24]

Answer:

A) B = 0.009185 T

B) Drection is negative y-direction

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Speed(v) = 2.5 x 10^(7) m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2.2 x 10^(13) m/s²

We also know that charge of proton(q) = 1.6 x 10^(-19)

Mass of proton(m) = 1.67 x 10^(-27)

Now, Since the proton is moving by circular motion, this force is equal to the centripetal force which is given as;

F = qvBsinθ = ma

Since perpendicular, θ = 90°

And so, sinθ = sin 90 = 1

Thus, qvB = ma

Making B the subject gives;

B = ma/qv

B = (1.67 X 10^(-27) X 2.2 X 10^13)) / (1.6 X 10^(-19) X 2.5 X 10^(7))

= 0.009185 T

B) By use of Flemings right hand rule, we can see that the middle finger points toward negative y-direction, so the magnetic field is in the negative y-direction
