Answer:

a. Vf = 39.24 [m/s]

b. Vf = 31.24 [m/s]

c. Vf = 47.24 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use the following equation of kinematics. We have to keep in mind that the gravitational acceleration acts downwards, therefore when the rock falls towards the abyss it has the same direction of the acceleration and that is why the gravitational acceleration has a positive sign in the equation.

$v_{f}=v_{o}+g*t$

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (when the rock is dropped)

g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time = 4 [s]

$v_{f}=0+9.81*4\\v_{f}= 39.24 [m/s]$

In this particular situation, the acceleration will be taken as negative because the gravity is pointing in the opposite direction of the movement of the rock.

$v_{f}=8-(9.81*4)\\v_{f}=-31.24[m/s]$

The negative sign in the answer tells us that the rock no longer moves up instead it does downwards when 4 seconds have passed.

$v_{f}=8+(9.81*4)\\v_{f}=47.24[m/s]$

A sphere of radius r = 5cm carries a uniform volume charge density rho = 400 nC/m^3. Q. What is the total charge Q of the sphere

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The total charge Q of the sphere is $2.094\times10^{-10}\ C$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5 cm

Charge density $J= 400\ nC/m^3$

We need to calculate the total charge Q of the sphere

Using formula of charge

$q=\rho V$

Where, $\rho$ = charge density

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

$q=\rho\times(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3)$

Put the value into the formula

$q=\dfrac{4}{3}\times\pi\times400\times10^{-9}\times(5\times10^{-2})^3$

$q=2.094\times10^{-10}\ C$

Hence, The total charge Q of the sphere is $2.094\times10^{-10}\ C$ .

What magnitude charge creates a 1.0 n/c electric field at a point 1.0 m away?

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

$1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C$

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

$E=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have

E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)

r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

$q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(1.0 N/c)(1.0 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2c^{-2}}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C$

If we think of the value system, as a river, and each stop along the river is a port where value was added. What was the startin

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The raw materials.

Explanation:

The starting point of every manufactured object is the raw material. In the value system of the film industry, the starting point is the raw material which includes chemicals used in the manufacture of films and cameras.

Therefore, If we think of the value system, as a river, and each stop along the river is a port where value was added. The starting point, the furthest upstream, in the value system in the film industry is the raw materials.
