Answer:
V = - 3.85 V
Explanation:
The electric potential of a continuous charge distribution is
V = k ∫ dq / r
to find charge differential let's use the concept of linear density
λ = dq / dx
dq = λ dx
the distance from a load element to the point of interest
x₀ = 23 cm = 0.23 m
r = √ (x-x₀)² = x - x₀
we substitute
v = k ∫ λ dx / (x-x₀)
we integrate and evaluate between x = 0 and x = l = 0.10 cm
V = k λ [ln (x-x₀) - ln (-x₀)]
V = k λ ln ((x-x₀) / x₀)
let's calculate
V = 9 10⁹ 0.74 10⁻⁹ ln ((0.23 - 0.10) / 0.23)
V = - 3.85 V
A deep-space vehicle moves away from the Earth with a speed of 0.870c. An astronaut on the vehicle measures a time interval of 3.10 s to rotate her body through 1.00 rev as she floats in the vehicle. What time interval is required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth
Answer:
t₀ = 1.55 s
Explanation:
According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, when an object moves with a speed comparable to speed of light, the time interval measured for the event, by an observer in motion relative to the event is not the same as measured by an observer at rest.
It is given as:
t = t₀/[√(1 - v²/c²)]
where,
t = time measured by astronaut in motion = 3.1 s
t₀ = time required according to observer on earth = ?
v = relative velocity = 0.87 c
c = speed of light
3.1 s = t₀/[√(1 - 0.87²c²/c²)]
(3.1 s)(0.5) = t₀
t₀ = 1.55 s
Answer:
The time interval required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth = [tex]6.29sec[/tex]Explanation:
Time interval required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth is given as [tex]\delta t[/tex]
where,
[tex]t_o = 3.1\\\\v = 0.87[/tex]
[tex]\delta t = \frac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\\\delta t = \frac{3.1}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.87c}{c})^2}}\\\\\delta t = 6.29sec[/tex]

Consider 1 mol an ideal gas at 28∘ C and 1.06 atm pressure. To get some idea how close these molecules are to each other, on the average, imagine them to be uniformly spaced, with each molecule at the center of a small cube.
A) What is the length of an edge of each cube if adjacent cubes touch but do not overlap?
B) How does this distance compare with the diameter of a typical molecule? The diameter of a typical molecule is about 10-10 m. (in l/dmolecule)
C) How does their separation compare with the spacing of atoms in solids, which typically are about 0.3 nm apart? (in l/lsolid)
Answer:
A) Length of an edge = 3.38 × 10^(-9) m
B) 34 times the diameter of a molecule.
C) 11 times the atomic spacing in solids.
Explanation:
A) We will use Avogadro's hypothesis to solve this. It states that 1 mole of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP.
We want to find the volume occupied by 1 mole of gas at 1.06 atm pressure and temperature of 28 °C (= 301 K).
Thus, by the ideal gas equation, we have;
V_mole = (1 × 22.4/273) × (301/1.06) = 23.3 L = 0.0233 m³
Now, since from avogadros number, 1 mole of gas contains 6.02 x 10^(23) molecules, then volume occupied by a molecule is given by;
V_molecule = 0.0233/(6.02 × 10^(23)) m³ = 3.87 x 10^(-26) m³
Thus, length of an edge of the cube = ∛(3.87 × 10^(-26)) = 3.38 × 10^(-9) m
B) We are told that The diameter of a typical molecule is about 10^(-10) m.
Thus, the distance is about;
(3.38 × 10^(-9))/(10^(-10)) ≈ 34 times the diameter of a molecule.
C) We are told that the spacing of atoms is typically are about 0.3 nm apart
Thus;
The separation will be about;
(3.38 × 10^(-9))/(0.3 × 10^(-9)) ≈ 11 times the atomic spacing in solids.
Water pressurized to 3.5 x 105 Pa is flowing at 5.0 m/s in a horizontal pipe which contracts to 1/2 its former radius. a. What are the pressure and velocity of the water after the contraction
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the Continuity equation
v X A = v' xA'
so if A is 1/2of A' then A velocity must be 2 times the A'
after-contraction v = 2 x 5.0m/s = 10m/s
Using the Bernoulli equation
p₁ + ½ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = p₂ + ½ρv₂² + ρgh₂
, the "h" terms cancel
3.5 x 10^ 5Pa + ½ x 1000kg/m³x (5.0m/s)² = p₂ + ½ x 1000kg/m³ x (10m/s)²
p₂ = 342500pa

Mathematically, from Snell law;
n1sin theta = n2 sin theta
1 * sin 90 = n2 * sin θR
where n2 = 1.33
1/1.33 = sin θR
Sin θR = 0.7519
θR = arc sin 0.7519
θR = 48.76
Now to get the height, we use the triangle
Using trigonometric ratio;
Tan( 90- θR) = H/5
H = 5 Tan( 90 - θR)
H = 5 Tan( 90-48.76)
H = 5 Tan41.24
H = 4.38 m
One solenoid is centered inside another. The outer one has a length of 54.0 cm and contains 6750 coils, while the coaxial inner solenoid is 4.00 cm long and 0.170 cm in diameter and contains 21.0 coils. The current in the outer solenoid is changing at 35.0 A/s .What is the mutual inductance of the solenoids?Find the emf induced in the inner solenoid.
Answer:
M₁₂ = 1.01 10⁻⁴ H , Fem = 3.54 10⁻³ V
Explanation:
The mutual inductance between two systems is
M₁₂ = N₂ Ф₁₂ / I₁
where N₂ is the number of turns of the inner solenoid N₂ = 21.0, i₁ the current that flows through the outer solenoid I₁ = 35.0 A / s and fi is the flux of the field of coil1 that passes through coil 2
the magnetic field of the coil1 is
B = μ₀ n I₁ = μ₀ N₁/l I₁
the flow is
Φ = B A₂
the area of the second coil is
A₂ = π d₂ / 4
Φ = μ₀ N₁ I₁ / L π d² / 4
we substitute in the first expression
M₁₂ = N₂ μ₀ N₁ / L π d² / 4
M₁₂ = μ₀ N₁ N₂ π d² / 4L
d = 0.170 cm = 0.00170 m
L = 4.00 cm = 0.00400 m
let's calculate
M₁₂ = 4π 10⁻⁷ 6750 21 π 0.0017²/ (4 0.004)
M₁₂ = π² 0.40966 10⁻⁷ / 0.004
M₁₂ = 1.01 10⁻⁴ H
The electromotive force is
Fem = - M dI₁ / dt
Fem = - 1.01 10⁻⁴ 35.0
Fem = 3.54 10⁻³ V

Answer: A) match number at inlet = 0.2683
B) stagnation temperature at inlet = 329.68 k
C) stagnation pressure = 588.73 kPa
D) ) Throat temperature = 274.73 k
Explanation:
Determining states at several locations in the system
A) match number at inlet
= V1 / C1 = 97/ 261.427 = 0.2683
C1 = sound velocity at inlet = [tex]\sqrt{K*R*T}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{1.4 *0.287*10^3}[/tex] = 361.427 m/s
v1 = inlet velocity = 97
B) stagnation temperature at inlet
= T1 + [tex]\frac{V1 ^2}{2Cp}[/tex] = 325 + [tex]\frac{97^2}{2 * 1.005*10^{-3} }[/tex]
stagnation temperature = 329.68 k
C) stagnation pressure
= [tex]p1 ( 1 + 0.2Ma^2 )^{3.5}[/tex]
Ma = match number at inlet = 0.2683
p1 = inlet pressure = 560
hence stagnation pressure = 588.73 kPa
D) Throat temperature
= [tex]\frac{Th}{T} = \frac{2}{k+1}[/tex]
Th = throat temperature
T = stagnation temp at inlet = 329.68 k
k = 1.4
make Th subject of the relation
Th = 329.68 * (2 / 2.4 ) = 274.73 k

Answer:
d_t = 3.05km
v_a = 4.3km/h
Explanation:
42mins*(2/3) = 28mins
42mins-28mins = 14mins
d = v*t
d_1 = (4km/h)*(1h/60mins)*(28mins)
d_1 = 1.87km
d_2 = (5km/h)*(1h/60mins)*(14mins)
d_2 = 1.17km
d_t = d_1+d_2
d_t = 1.87km+1.17km
d_t = 3.05km
v_a = (v_1+v_2)/2
v_a = [(2*4km/h)+5km/h)]/3
v_a = 4.3km/h
A 10 n force is applied horizontally on a box to move it 10 m across a frictionless surface. How much work was done to move the box?
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 100 \ J}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to calculate the work done to move a box.
Work is the product of force and distance or displacement.
[tex]W= F*d[/tex]
A 10 Newton force is applied horizontally on the box. Since the surface is frictionless, there is no force of friction, and the net force is 10 Newtons. The force moves the box 10 meters.
F= 10 N d= 10 mSubstitute the values into the formula.
[tex]W= 10 \ N * 10 \ m[/tex]
Multiply.
[tex]W= 100 \ N*m[/tex]
Let's convert the units. 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule, therefore our answer of 100 Newton meters is equal to 100 Joules.
[tex]W= 100 \ J[/tex]
100 Joules of work was done to move the box.

g Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.Can a rigid body experience any ACCELERATION when the resultant force acting on that rigid body is zero? Explain.
Answer:
No, a rigid body cannot experience any acceleration when the resultant force acting on the body is zero.
Explanation:
If the net force on a body is zero, then it means that all the forces acting on the body are balanced and cancel out one another. This sate of equilibrium can be static equilibrium (like that of a rigid body), or dynamic equilibrium (that of a car moving with constant velocity)
For a body under this type of equilibrium,
ΣF = 0 ...1
where ΣF is the resultant force (total effective force due to all the forces acting on the body)
For a body to accelerate, there must be a force acting on it. The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force applied, for a constant mass of the body. The relationship between the net force and mass is given as
ΣF = ma ...2
where m is the mass of the body
a is the acceleration of the body
Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, we have
0 = ma
therefore,
a = 0
this means that if the resultant force acting on a rigid body is zero, then there won't be any force available to produce acceleration on the body.
A skull believed to belong to an ancient human being has a carbon-14 decay rate of 5.4 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (5.4 dis/min*gC). If living organisms have a decay rate of 15.3 dis/min*gC, how old is this skull
Answer:
9.43*10^3 year
Explanation:
For this question, we ought to remember, or know that the half life of carbon 14 is 5730, and that would be vital in completing the calculation
To start with, we use the formula
t(half) = In 2/k,
if we make k the subject of formula, we have
k = in 2/t(half), now we substitute for the values
k = in 2 / 5730
k = 1.21*10^-4 yr^-1
In(A/A•) = -kt, on rearranging, we find out that
t = -1/k * In(A/A•)
The next step is to substitite the values for each into the equation, giving us
t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * In(5.4/15.3)
t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * -1.1041
t = 0.943*10^4 year
A damped oscillator is released from rest with an initial displacement of 10.00 cm. At the end of the first complete oscillation, the displacement reaches 9.05 cm. When 4 more oscillations are completed, what is the displacement reached
Answer:
The displacement is [tex]A_r = 6.071 \ cm[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial displacement is [tex]A_o = 10 \ cm[/tex]
The displacement at the end of first oscillation is [tex]A_d = 9.05 \ cm[/tex]
Generally the damping constant of this damped oscillator is mathematically represented as
[tex]\eta = \frac{A_d}{A_o}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\eta = \frac{9.05}{10}[/tex]
[tex]\eta = 0.905[/tex]
The displacement after 4 more oscillation is mathematically represented as
[tex]A_r = \eta^4 * A_d[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]A_r = (0.905)^4 * (9.05)[/tex]
[tex]A_r = 6.071 \ cm[/tex]
Answer:
Displacement reached is 6.0708 cm
Explanation:
Formula for damping Constant "C"
[tex]C^n=\frac{A_2}{A_1}[/tex] where n=1,2,3,........n
Where:
[tex]A_2[/tex] is the displacement after first oscillation
[tex]A_1\\[/tex] is the initial Displacement
[tex]A_1=10\ cm\\A_2=9.05\ cm\\[/tex]
In our case, n=1.
[tex]C=\frac{9.05}{10}\\C=0.905[/tex]
After 4 more oscillation, n=4:
[tex]C^4=\frac{A_6}{A_2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]A_6[/tex] is the final Displacement after 4 more oscillations.
[tex]A_6=(0.905)^4*(9.05)\\A_6=6.0708\ cm[/tex]
Displacement reached is 6.0708 cm
A body is thrown vertically upwards with a speed of 95m / s and after 7s it reaches its maximum height. How fast does it reach its maximum height? What was the maximum height reached?
Explanation:
u = 95 m/sec ( Initial speed)
t = 7 sec ( Time of ascent)
According to Equations of Motion :
[tex]s = ut - \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2} [/tex]
Max. Height = 95 * 7 - 4.9 * 49 = 424. 9 = 425 m
Answer:
332.5 m
Explanation:
At the maximum height, the velocity is 0.
Given:
v₀ = 95 m/s
v = 0 m/s
t = 7 s
Find: Δy
Δy = ½ (v + v₀) t
Δy = ½ (0 m/s + 95 m/s) (7 s)
Δy = 332.5 m
Helium-neon laser light (λ = 6.33 × 10−7 m) is sent through a 0.30 mm-wide single slit. What is the width of the central maximum on a screen 1.0 m from the slit?
Answer:
The width is [tex]w_c = 0.00422 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength is [tex]\lambda = 6.33*10^{-7} \ m[/tex]
The width of the slit is [tex]d = 0.3\ mm = 0.3 *10^{-3} \ m[/tex]
The distance of the screen is [tex]D = 1.0 \ m[/tex]
Generally the central maximum is mathematically represented as
[tex]w_c = 2 * y[/tex]
Here y is the width of the first order maxima which is mathematically represented as
[tex]y = \frac{\lambda * D}{d}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]y = \frac{6.33*10^{-7} * 1.0}{ 0.30}[/tex]
[tex]y = 0.00211 \ m[/tex]
So
[tex]w_c = 2 *0.00211[/tex]
[tex]w_c = 0.00422 \ m[/tex]

A rock has mass 1.80 kg. When the rock is suspended from the lower end of a string and totally immersed in water, the tension in the string is 10.8 N . What is the smallest density of a liquid in which the rock will float?
Answer:
The density is [tex]\rho_z = 2544 \ kg /m^3[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the rock is [tex]m_r = 1.80 \ kg[/tex]
The tension on the string is [tex]T = 10.8 \ N[/tex]
Generally the weight of the rock is
[tex]W = m * g[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 1.80 * 9.8[/tex]
=> [tex]W = 17.64 \ N[/tex]
Now the upward force(buoyant force) acting on the rock is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]F_f = W - T[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]F_f = 17.64 - 10.8[/tex]
[tex]F_f = 6.84 \ N[/tex]
This buoyant force is mathematically represented as
[tex]F_f = \rho * g * V[/tex]
Here [tex]\rho[/tex] is the density of water and it value is [tex]\rho = 1000\ kg/m^3[/tex]
So
[tex]V = \frac{F_f}{ \rho * g }[/tex]
[tex]V = \frac{6.84}{ 1000 * 9.8 }[/tex]
[tex]V = 0.000698 \ m^3[/tex]
Now for this rock to flow the upward force (buoyant force) must be equal to the length
[tex]F_f = W[/tex]
[tex]\rho_z * g * V = W[/tex]
Here z is smallest density of a liquid in which the rock will float
=> [tex]\rho_z = \frac{W}{ g * V}[/tex]
=> [tex]\rho_z = \frac{17.64}{ 0.000698 * 9.8}[/tex]
=> [tex]\rho_z = 2544 \ kg /m^3[/tex]

A 1.8-mole sample of an ideal gas is allowed to expand at a constant temperature of 250 K. The initial volume is 34 L and the final volume is 80 L. How much work does the gas perform on its container? Let the ideal-gas constant R = 8.314 J/(mol • K).
Answer:
3201.304 J
Explanation:
Use ideal gas equation to initial stage:
PV=nRT
P * 0.034 = 1.8 * 8.314 * 250
P = 110038.2353 Pa
Use ideal gas equation to final stage:
PV=nRT
P * 0.08 = 1.8 * 8.314 * 250
P = 46766.25 Pa
Process is isothermal (constant temperature )
Therefore,
Work= C ln (V2/V1)
(P1V1=P2V2=C)
(Above equation is taken by integration of P.dv)
Work = P1V1 ln (V2/V1) = P2V2 ln (V2/V1)
By substituting above data to the equation:
Work = (110038.2353 * 0.034) * ln (0.08/0.034)
Work = 3201.304 J

An astronomer is measuring the electromagnetic radiation emitted by two stars, both of which are assumed to be perfect blackbody emitters. For each star she makes a plot of the radiation intensity per unit wavelength as a function of wavelength. She notices that the curve for star A has a maximum that occurs at a shorter wavelength than does the curve for star B. What can she conclude about the surface temperatures of the two stars
Answer:
Star A has a higher surface temperature than star B.
Explanation:
The effective temperature of a star can be determined by means of its spectrum and Wien's displacement law:
[tex]T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}[/tex] (1)
Where T is the effective temperature of the star and [tex]\lambda_{max}[/tex] is the maximum peak of emission.
A body that is hot enough emits light as a consequence of its temperature. For example, if an iron bar is put in contact with fire, it will start to change colors as the temperature increase, until it gets to a blue color, that scenario is known as Wien's displacement law. Which establishes that the peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase and higher wavelengths as the temperature decreases.
Therefore, star A has a higher surface temperature than star B, as it is shown in equation 1 since T and [tex]\lambda max[/tex] are inversely proportional.
