8 0

Explanation:

Drinking water requirement in town 2.0 m^3/s of water per second

nitrate in local well  nitrate per 15 \mathrm{m}^{3} of water

nitrate in distant reservoir =5 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

Let the flow rate of well

flow rate of reservoir =y m^{3} / s

Drinking water requirement is 45 \mathrm{ppm} or 45 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

therefore, the total flow of drinking water

A spherical, non-conducting shell of inner radius = 10 cm and outer radius = 15 cm carries a total charge Q = 13 μC distributed
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

E = 1580594.95 N/C

Explanation:

To find the electric field inside the the non-conducting shell for r=11.2cm you use the Gauss' law:

\int EdS=\frac{Q_{in}}{\epsilon_o}   (1)

dS: differential of the Gaussian surface

Qin: charge inside the Gaussian surface

εo: dielectric permittivity of vacuum =  8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2

The electric field is parallel to the dS vector. In this case you have the surface of a sphere, thus you have:

\int EdS=ES=E(4\pi r^2)   (2)

Qin is calculate by using the charge density:

Q_{in}=V_{in}\rho=\frac{4}{3}(r^3-a^3)\rho  (3)

Vin is the volume of the spherical shell enclosed by the surface. a is the inner radius.

The charge density is given by:

\rho=\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{13*10^{-6}C}{\frac{4}{3}\pi((0.15m)^3-(0.10m)^3)}\\\\\rho=1.30*10^{-3}\frac{C}{m^3}

Next, you use the results of (3), (2) and (1):

E(4\pi r^2)=\frac{4}{3\epsilon_o}(r^3-a^3)\rho\\\\E=\frac{\rho}{3\epsilo_o}(r-\frac{a^3}{r^2})

Finally, you replace the values of all parameters, and for r = 11.2cm = 0.112m you obtain:

E=\frac{1.30*10^{-3}C/m^3}{3(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}((0.112m)-\frac{(0.10)^3}{(0.112m)^2})\\\\E=1,580,594.95\frac{N}{C}

hence, the electric field is 1580594.95 N/C

Along a horizontal snow-covered track, a sled, of mass m = 105 kg, slides by the action of a horizontal force of 230 N. The coef
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Explanation:

The only thing I can figure you need here is the accleration of the sled. The equation we need to find this is Newton's Second Law that says that sum of the forces acting on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration. For us, that looks like this because of the friction working against the sled:

F - f = ma but of course it's much more involved than that simple equation! We have the F value as 230 N, and we have the mass as 105, but we do not have the frictional force, f, and we need it to solve for a in the above equation. We know that

f = μF_n where μ is the coefficient of friction, and F_n is the normal force, aka weight of the object. We will use the coefficient of friction and find the weight in order to fill in for f:

F_n=mg so

F_n=(105)(9.8) so the weight of the sled is

F_n= 1.0 × 10³ with the correct number of sig dig there. Now to find f:

f = (.025)(1.0 × 10³) so

f = 25 to the correct number of sig fig. Now on to our "real" equation:

F - f = ma and

230 - 25 = 105a. We have to do the subtraction first, round, and then divide since the rules for addition and subtraction are different from the rules for dividing and multiplying.

230 - 25 will round to the tens place giving us 210. Then

210 = 105a. 210 has 2 sig figs in it while 105 has 3, so we will divide and round to 2 sig fig:

a = 2.0 m/sec²

Suppose Tom Harmon17 is standing at the exact center of the Ohio State football field18 on the 50 yard line. The field is 300 fe
nignag [31]

Answer:

a) x = 40 t , y = 39 t ,  z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²,   b)     x = 80 feet ,  y = 78 feet , the ball came into the field  

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launch exercise, where in the x and y axes there is no acceleration and in the z axis the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity, let's write the equations of motion in each axis

Since the cast is in the center of the field, let's place the coordinate system

          x₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0

          z₀ = 6 feet

x-axis (towards end zone,  GOAL zone)

         x = xo + v₀ₓ t

        x = 40 t

y-axis (field width)

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t

        y = 39 t

z axis (vertical)

        z = z₀ + v_{oz} t - ½ g t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - ½ 32 t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²

b) The player catches the ball at the same height as it came out, so we can find the time it takes to arrive

          z = 6

          6 = 6 + 32 t - 16 t²

          (t - 2)t  = 0

           t=0 s

           t= 2 s

The ball position

          x = 40 2

          x = 80 feet

           

          y = 39 2

          y = 78 feet

the dimensions of the field from the coordinate system (center of the field) are

             x_total = 150 feet

             y _total = 80 feet

so we can see that the ball came into the field

What is the change in velocity of a 22-kg object that experiences a force of 15 N for
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Force = mass × acceleration

Acceleration:

{ \tt{15 = (22 \times a)}} \\ { \tt{a =  \frac{15}{22}  \:  {ms}^{ - 2} }}

From first Newton's equation of motion:

{ \bf{v = u + at}}

Change = v - u:

{ \tt{v - u = (a \times t)}} \\ { \tt{v - u = ( \frac{15}{22} \times 1.2) }} \\ { \tt{v - u = 0.82 \:  {ms}^{ - 2} }}
