Answers

Answer 1

Complete question:

A solid conducting sphere is placed in an external uniform electric field. With regard to the electric field on the sphere's interior, which statement is correct?

A. the interior field points in a direction parallel to the exterior field

B. There is no electric field on the interior of the conducting sphere.

C. The interior field points in a direction perpendicular to the exterior field.

D. the interior field points in a direction opposite to the exterior field.

Answer:

B. There is no electric field on the interior of the conducting sphere.

Explanation:

Conductors are said to have free charges that move around easily. When the conductor is now placed in a static electric field, the free charges react to attain electrostatic equilibrium (steady state).

Here, a solid conducting sphere is placed in an external uniform electric field. Until the lines of the electric field are perpendicular to the surface, the free charges will move around the spherical conductor, causing polarization. There would be no electric field in the interior of the spherical conductor because there would be movement of  free charges in the spherical conductor in response to any field until its neutralization.

Option B is correct.

There is no electric field on the interior of the conducting sphere.

At what temperature will silver have a resistivity that is two times the resistivity of iron at room temperature? (Assume room temperature is 20° C.)

Answers

Answer:

The temperature of silver at this given resistivity is 2971.1 ⁰C

Explanation:

The resistivity of silver is calculated as follows;

[tex]R_t = R_o[1 + \alpha(T-T_o)]\\\\[/tex]

where;

Rt is the resistivity of silver at the given temperature

Ro is the resistivity of silver at room temperature

α is the temperature coefficient of resistance

To is the room temperature

T is the temperature at which the resistivity of silver will be two times the resistivity of iron at room temperature

[tex]R_t = R_o[1 + \alpha(T-T_o)]\\\\\R_t = 1.59*10^{-8}[1 + 0.0038(T-20)][/tex]

Resistivity of iron at room temperature = 9.71 x 10⁻⁸ ohm.m

When silver's resistivity becomes 2 times the resistivity of iron, we will have the following equations;

[tex]R_t,_{silver} = 2R_o,_{iron}\\\\1.59*10^{-8}[1 + 0.0038(T-20)] =(2 *9.71*10^{-8})\\\\\ \ (divide \ through \ by \ 1.59*10^{-8})\\\\1 + 0.0038(T-20) = 12.214\\\\1 + 0.0038T - 0.076 = 12.214\\\\0.0038T +0.924 = 12.214\\\\0.0038T = 12.214 - 0.924\\\\0.0038T = 11.29\\\\T = \frac{11.29}{0.0038} \\\\T = 2971.1 \ ^0C[/tex]

Therefore, the temperature of silver at this given resistivity is 2971.1 ⁰C

2. A pair of narrow, parallel slits sep by 0.25 mm is illuminated by 546 nm green light. The interference pattern is observed on a screen situated at 1.3 m away from the slits. Calculate the distance from the central maximum to the

Answers

Answer:

for the first interference m = 1   y = 2,839 10-3 m

for the second interference m = 2   y = 5,678 10-3 m

Explanation:

The double slit interference phenomenon, for constructive interference is described by the expression

                d sin θ = m λ

where d is the separation between the slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer that corresponds to the interference we see.

In these experiments in general the observation screen is L >> d, let's use trigonometry to find the angles

           tan θ = y / L

with the angle it is small,

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

   

we substitute

         sin θ = y / L

         d y / L = m λ

the distance between the central maximum and an interference line is

        y = m λ L / d

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     λ = 546 nm = 546 10⁻⁹ m

     d = 0.25 mm = 0.25 10⁻³ m

let's substitute the values

      y = m 546 10⁻⁹ 1.3 / 0.25 10⁻³

      y =  m 2,839 10⁻³

the explicit value for a line depends on the value of the integer m, for example

for the first interference m = 1

the distance from the central maximum to the first line is y = 2,839 10-3 m

for the second interference m = 2

the distance from the central maximum to the second line is y = 5,678 10-3 m

Answers

Answer:

17.94 kN/C is the electric field intensity at the origin due to the charges.

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that

The distance of 1 μC from origin = 1 m

The distance of 2 μC from origin = 2 m

The distance of 3 μC from origin = 3 m

The distance of 4 μC from origin = 5 m

Therefore, for us to find the electric field intensity, we'll solve below:

The formula for Electric field intensity = ( k * q ) / ( r * r )

where , r is distance ,

k = 9 * 10^9 ,

and , q is charge .

now ,

electric field intensity at the origin = [ k * 10^(-6) / 1 * 1 ] +[ k * 2 * 10^(-6) / 2 * 2 ] + [ k * 3 * 10^(-6) / 3 * 3 ] + [ k * 4 * 10^(-6) / 5 * 5 ]

=> electric field intensity at the origin = k * 10^(-6) [ 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 4/25 ] N/C

=> electric field intensity at the origin = 9 * 10^9 * 10^(-6) * 1.99 N/C

=> electric field intensity at the origin = 17.94 kN/C

Explanation:

A positive kaon (K+) has a rest mass of 494 MeV/c² , whereas a proton has a rest mass of 938 MeV/c². If a kaon has a total energy that is equal to the proton rest energy, the speed of the kaon is most nearly:___________.
A. 0.25c
B. 0.40c
C. 0.55c
D. 0.70c
E. 0.85c

Answers

Answer:

0.85c

Explanation:

Rest mass of Kaon [tex]M_{0K}[/tex] = 494 MeV/c²

Rest mass of proton [tex]M_{0P}[/tex]  = 938 MeV/c²

The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²

for the kaon, rest energy [tex]E_{0K}[/tex] = 494c² MeV

for the proton, rest energy [tex]E_{0P}[/tex] = 938c² MeV

Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..

[tex]E[/tex] = γ[tex]E_{0}[/tex]

which can be written in this case as

[tex]E_{K}[/tex] = γ[tex]E_{0K}[/tex] ...... equ 1

where [tex]E[/tex] = total energy of the kaon, and

[tex]E_{0}[/tex] = rest energy of the kaon

γ = relativistic factor = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }[/tex]

where [tex]\beta = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...

[tex]E_{K}[/tex] = [tex]E_{0P}[/tex] ......equ 2

where [tex]E_{K}[/tex] is the total energy of the kaon, and

[tex]E_{0P}[/tex] is the rest energy of the proton.

From [tex]E_{K}[/tex] = [tex]E_{0P}[/tex] = 938c²    

equ 1 becomes

938c² = γ494c²

γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89

γ = [tex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} } }[/tex] = 1.89

1.89[tex]\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex] = 1

squaring both sides, we get

3.57( 1 - [tex]\beta^{2}[/tex]) = 1

3.57 - 3.57[tex]\beta^{2}[/tex] = 1

2.57 = 3.57[tex]\beta^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\beta^{2}[/tex] = 2.57/3.57 = 0.72

[tex]\beta = \sqrt{0.72}[/tex] = 0.85

but, [tex]\beta = \frac{v}{c}[/tex]

v/c = 0.85

v = 0.85c

In a high school swim competition, a student takes 1.6 s to complete 1.5 somersaults. Determine the average angular speed of the diver, in rad/s, during this time interval.

Answers

Answer:

The  angular speed is [tex]w = 5.89 \ rad/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The time taken is  [tex]t = 1.6 s[/tex]

    The number of somersaults  is n  =  1.5

The total angular displacement during the somersault is mathematically represented as

         [tex]\theta = n * 2 * \pi[/tex]

substituting values

        [tex]\theta = 1.5 * 2 * 3.142[/tex]

       [tex]\theta = 9.426 \ rad[/tex]

 The angular speed is mathematically represented as

         [tex]w = \frac{\theta }{t}[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]w = \frac{9.426}{1.6}[/tex]

          [tex]w = 5.89 \ rad/s[/tex]

Assuming that the skateboarder's acceleration is gsin 18.0 ∘, find his speed when he reaches the bottom of the ramp in 3.50 s .

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

v= u + at

v is final velocity , u is initial velocity . a is acceleration and t is time

Initial velocity u = 0 . Putting the given values in the equation

v = 0 + g sin 18 x 3.5

= 10.6 m /s

For a skateboarder who starts from the rest, the speed when he reaches the bottom of the ramp will be 10.6 m/s.

What are Velocity and Acceleration?

The term "velocity" refers to a vector measurement of the rate and direction of motion. Velocity is the rate of movement in a single direction, to put it simply. Velocity can be used to determine how fast a rocket is heading into space and how fast a car is moving north on a congested motorway.

There are several types of velocity :

Instantaneous velocityAverage VelocityUniform VelocityNon-Uniform Velocity

The pace at which a person's velocity changes is known as acceleration. This implies that an object is accelerating if its velocity is rising or falling. An object that is accelerating won't have a steady change in location every second like an item moving at a constant speed does.

According to the question, the given values are :

Time, t = 3.50 sec

Initial Velocity, u = 0 m/s

Use equation of motion :

v = u+at

v = 0+ g sin 18 × 3.5

v = 10.6 m/s.

So, the final velocity will be 10.6 m/s.

The Law of Biot-Savart shows that the magnetic field of an infinitesimal current element decreases as 1/r2. Is there anyway you could put together a complete circuit (any closed path of current-carrying wire) whose field exhibits this same 1/r^2 decrease in magnetic field strength? Explain your reasoning.

Answer and Explanation:

There is no probability of obtaining such a circuit of closed track current carrying wire whose field of magnitude displays i.e.  [tex]B \alpha \frac{1}{r^2}[/tex]

The magnetic field is a volume of vectors

And [tex]\phi\ bds = 0[/tex]. This ensures isolated magnetic poles or magnetic charges would not exit

Wind gusts create ripples on the ocean that have a wavelength of 3.03 cm and propagate at 3.37 m/s. What is their frequency (in Hz)?

Answers

Answer:

Their frequency is 111.22 Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration and is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation speed of a wave is the quantity that measures the speed at which the wave's disturbance propagates throughout its displacement. The speed at which the wave propagates depends on both the type of wave and the medium through which it propagates. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

Then the frequency can be calculated as: f=v÷λ

In this case:

λ=3.03 cm=0.0303 m (1m=100 cm)v= 3.37 m/s

Replacing:

[tex]f=\frac{3.37 \frac{m}{s} }{0.0303 m}[/tex]

Solving:

f=111.22 Hz

Their frequency is 111.22 Hz
