Answer: 1.13 X 10^3 g or 1130 g

Explanation: When you add up everything, you will get 1134.1288 g = 1.11341218 X 10^3. But while adding significant figures, we always look for the least significant figures (here 4.65 has least sig. figures i.e. 3) and take that as a reference to how many significant figures we should have in the answer. (Pretty hard to explain!) Hope you got it!!

A beam of red light and a beam of blue light have exactly the same energy. Which beam contains the greater number of photons?

vekshin1

The higher the frequency, the more energy the photon has. Of course, a beam of light has many photons. This means that really intense red light (lots of photons, with slightly lower energy)

To determine the trajectory of the movement of a material point in the xOz plane that is subjected simultaneously to oscillation

nasty-shy [4]

We are to show that the given parametric curve is a circle.

The trajectory of a circle with a radius r will satisfy the following relationship:

$(x-x_c)^2 + (y-y_c)^2 = r^2$

(with (x_c,y_c) being the center point)

We are given the x and y in a parametric form which can be further rewritten (using properties of sin/cos):

$x(t) = A\sin \pi(t+1) = A\sin (\pi t + \pi) = -A\sin \pi t\\y(t) = A\sin (\pi t + \frac{\pi}{2}) = A\cos \pi t$

Squaring and adding both gives:

$x^2(t) + y^2(t) = A^2(-1)^2\sin^2 \pi t + A^2 \cos^2 \pi t = A^2\\\implies x^2 + y^2 = A^2$

The last expression shows that the given parametric curve is a circle with the center (0,0) and radius A.

Complete question:

A 50 m length of coaxial cable has a charged inner conductor (with charge +8.5 µC and radius 1.304 mm) and a surrounding oppositely charged conductor (with charge −8.5 µC and radius 9.249 mm).

Required:

What is the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors? The Coulomb constant is 8.98755 × 10^9 N.m^2 . Assume the region between the conductors is air, and neglect end effects. Answer in units of V/m.

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

Explanation:

Given;

charge of the coaxial capable, Q = 8.5 µC = 8.5 x 10⁻⁶ C

length of the conductor, L = 50 m

inner radius, r₁ = 1.304 mm

outer radius, r₂ = 9.249 mm

The magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is given by;

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_o r} = \frac{Q}{2\pi \epsilon_o r L}$

Where;

λ is linear charge density or charge per unit length

r is the distance halfway between the two cylindrical conductors

$r = r_1 + \frac{1}{2}(r_2-r_1) \\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \ \frac{1}{2}(9.249 \ mm-1.304 \ mm)\\\\r = 1.304 \ mm \ + \ 3.9725 \ mm\\\\r = 5.2765 \ mm$

The magnitude of the electric field is now given as;

$E = \frac{8.5*10^{-6}}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12})(5.2765*10^{-3})(50)} \\\\E = 5.793*10^5 \ V/m$

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field halfway between the two cylindrical conductors is 5.793 x 10⁵ V/m

Do someone know the answer

JulijaS [17]

Speed x time = distance
Distance divided by time = speed
500 divided by 5
Speed = 100
