A uniformly charged sphere has a potential on its surface of 450 V. At a radial distance of 8.1 m from this surface, the potential is 150 V. What is the radius of the sphere

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Explanation:

Given;

potential at surface, [tex]V_s[/tex] = 450 V

potential at radial distance, [tex]V_r[/tex] = 150

radial distance, l = 8.1 m

Apply Coulomb's law of electrostatic force;

[tex]V = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_s = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_r = \frac{KQ}{r+ l}[/tex]

[tex]450 = \frac{KQ}{r} ------equation (i)\\\\150 = \frac{KQ}{r+8.1} ------equation (ii)\\\\divide \ equation (i)\ by \ equation \ (ii)\\\\\frac{450}{150} = (\frac{KQ}{r} )*(\frac{r+8.1}{KQ} )\\\\3 = \frac{r+8.1}{r} \\\\3r = r + 8.1\\\\2r = 8.1\\\\r = \frac{8.1}{2} \\\\r = 4.05 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

A Nearsighted Eye. A certain very nearsighted person cannot focus on anything farther than 36.0 cm from the eye. Consider the simplified model of the eye. In a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina.

Required:
a. If the radius of curvature of the cornea is 0.65 cm when the eye is focusing on an object 36.0 cm from the cornea vertex and the indexes of refraction are as described before, what is the distance from the cornea vertex to the retina?
b. What does this tell you about the shape of the nearsighted eye?

1. This distance is greater than for the normal eye.
2. This distance is shorter than for the normal eye.

Answers

Answer:

a) The distance from the cornea vertex to the retina is 2.37 cm

b) This distance is shorter than for the normal eye.

Explanation:

a) Let refractive index of air,

n(air) = x = 1

Let refractive index of lens,

n(lens) = y = 1.4

Object distance, s = 36 cm

Radius of curvature, R = 0.65 cm

The distance from the cornea vertex to the retina is the image distance because image is formed in the retina.

Image distance, s' = ?

(x/s) + (y/s') = (y-x)/R

(1/36) + (1.4/s') = (1.4 - 1)/0.65

1.4/s' = 0.62 - 0.028

1.4/s' = 0.592

s' = 1.4/0.592

s' = 2.37 cm

Distance from the cornea vertex to the retina is 2.37 cm

(b) For a normal eye, the distance between the cornea vertex and the retina is 2.60 cm. Since 2.37 < 2.60, this distance is shorter than for normal eye.

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.50 cm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly out of tune. Consequently, a 17.0-Hz beat frequency is heard between the two instruments. What were the possible wavelengths of the out-of-tune guitar’s note? Express your answers, separated by commas, in centimeters to three significant figures IN cm.

Answers

Answer:

The two value of the wavelength for the out of tune guitar is  

[tex]\lambda _2 = (6.48,6.52) \ cm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The wavelength of the note is [tex]\lambda = 6.50 \ cm = 0.065 \ m[/tex]

     The difference in beat frequency is [tex]\Delta f = 17.0 \ Hz[/tex]

     

Generally the frequency of the note played by the guitar that is in tune is  

        [tex]f_1 = \frac{v_s}{\lambda}[/tex]

Where [tex]v_s[/tex] is the speed of sound with a constant value [tex]v_s = 343 \ m/s[/tex]

       [tex]f_1 = \frac{343}{0.0065}[/tex]

      [tex]f_1 = 5276.9 \ Hz[/tex]

The difference in beat is mathematically represented as

       [tex]\Delta f = |f_1 - f_2|[/tex]

Where [tex]f_2[/tex] is the frequency of the sound from the out of tune guitar

     [tex]f_2 =f_1 \pm \Delta f[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]f_2 =f_1 + \Delta f[/tex]

      [tex]f_2 = 5276.9 + 17.0[/tex]  

     [tex]f_2 = 5293.9 \ Hz[/tex]

The wavelength for this frequency is

      [tex]\lambda_2 = \frac{343 }{5293.9}[/tex]

     [tex]\lambda_2 = 0.0648 \ m[/tex]

    [tex]\lambda_2 = 6.48 \ cm[/tex]

For the second value of the second frequency

     [tex]f_2 = f_1 - \Delta f[/tex]

     [tex]f_2 = 5276.9 -17[/tex]

      [tex]f_2 = 5259.9 Hz[/tex]

The wavelength for this frequency is

   [tex]\lambda _2 = \frac{343}{5259.9}[/tex]

   [tex]\lambda _2 = 0.0652 \ m[/tex]

   [tex]\lambda _2 = 6.52 \ cm[/tex]

This question involves the concepts of beat frequency and wavelength.

The possible wavelengths of the out-of-tune guitar are "6.48 cm" and "6.52 cm".

The beat frequency is given by the following formula:

[tex]f_b=|f_1-f_2|\\\\[/tex]

f₂ = [tex]f_b[/tex] ± f₁

where,

f₂ = frequency of the out-of-tune guitar = ?

[tex]f_b[/tex] = beat frequency = 17 Hz

f₁ = frequency of in-tune guitar = [tex]\frac{speed\ of\ sound\ in\ air}{\lambda_1}=\frac{343\ m/s}{0.065\ m}=5276.9\ Hz[/tex]

Therefore,

f₂ = 5276.9 Hz ± 17 HZ

f₂ = 5293.9 Hz (OR) 5259.9 Hz

Now, calculating the possible wavelengths:

[tex]\lambda_2=\frac{speed\ of\ sound}{f_2}\\\\\lambda_2 = \frac{343\ m/s}{5293.9\ Hz}\ (OR)\ \frac{343\ m/s}{5259.9\ Hz}\\\\[/tex]

λ₂ = 6.48 cm (OR) 6.52 cm

A skydiver stepped out of an airplane at an altitude of 1000m fell freely for 5.00s opened her parachute and slowed to 7.00m/s in a negligible time what was the total elapsed time from leaving the airplane to landing on the ground

Answers

Answer:

t = 17.68s

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total elapsed time that skydiver takes to reache the ground, you first calculate the distance traveled by the skydiver in the first 5.00s. You use the following formula:

[tex]y=y_o-v_ot-\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]            (1)

y: height for a time t

yo: initial height = 1000m

vo: initial velocity = 0m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

t: time = 5.00 s

You replace the values of the parameters to get the values of the new height of the skydiver:

[tex]y=1000m-\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)(5.00s)^2\\\\y=877.5m[/tex]

Next, you take this value of 877.5m as the initial height of the second part of the trajectory of the skydiver. Furthermore, use the value of 7.00m/s as the initial velocity.

You use the same equation (1) with the values of the initial velocity and new height. We are interested in the time for which the skydiver arrives to the ground, then y = 0

[tex]0=877.5-7.00t-4.9t^2[/tex]       (2)

The equation (2) is a quadratic equation, you solve it for t with the quadratic formula:

[tex]t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-7.00)\pm \sqrt{(-7.00)^2-4(-4.9)(877.5)}}{2(-4.9)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{7.00\pm 131.33}{-9.8}\\\\t_1=12.68s\\\\t_2=-14.11s[/tex]

You use the positive value of t1 because it has physical meaning.

Finally, you sum the times of both parts of the trajectory:

total time = 5.00s + 12.68s = 17.68s

The total elapsed time taken by the skydiver to arrive to the ground from the airplane is 17.68s

A soccer ball is released from rest at the top of a grassy incline. After 2.2 seconds, the ball travels 22 meters. One second later, the ball reaches the bottom of the incline. (Assume that the acceleration was constant.) How long was the incline

Answers

Answer:

x = 46.54m

Explanation:

In order to find the length of the incline you use the following formula:

[tex]x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]      (1)

vo: initial speed of the soccer ball = 0 m/s

t: time

a: acceleration

You first use the the fact that the ball traveled 22 m in 2.2 s. Whit this information you can calculate the acceleration a from the equation (1):

[tex]22m=\frac{1}{2}a(2.2s)^2\\\\a=9.09\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]      (2)

Next, you calculate the distance traveled by the ball for t = 3.2 s (one second later respect to t = 2.2s). The values of the distance calculated is the lenght of the incline:

[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}(9.09m/s^2)(3.2s)^2=46.54m[/tex]       (3)

The length of the incline is 46.54 m

A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm^3 at a temperature of 1.00°C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. When the flask and mercury are warmed together to a temperature of 52.0°C , a volume of 8.50 cm^3 of mercury overflows the flask.Required:If the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is βHg = 1.80×10^−4 /K , compute βglass, the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass. Express your answer in inverse kelvins.

Answers

Answer:

the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is [tex]\mathbf{ ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial volume of the glass flask = 1000 cm³ = 10⁻³ m³

temperature of the glass flask and mercury= 1.00° C

After heat is applied ; the final temperature = 52.00° C

Temperature change ΔT = 52.00° C - 1.00° C = 51.00° C

Volume of the mercury overflow = 8.50 cm^3 = 8.50 ×  10⁻⁶ m³

the coefficient of volume expansion of mercury is 1.80 × 10⁻⁴ / K

The increase in the volume of the mercury =  10⁻³ m³ ×  51.00 × 1.80 × 10⁻⁴

The increase in the volume of the mercury = [tex]9.18*10^{-6} \ m^3[/tex]

Increase in volume of the glass =  10⁻³ × 51.00 × [tex]\beta _{glass}[/tex]

Now; the mercury overflow = Increase in volume of the mercury - increase in the volume of the flask

the mercury overflow = [tex](9.18*10^{-6} - 51.00* \beta_{glass}*10^{-3})\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]8.50*10^{-6} = (9.18*10^{-6} -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]8.50*10^{-6} - 9.18*10^{-6} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]-6.8*10^{-7} = ( -51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]6.8*10^{-7} = ( 51.00* \beta_{glass}* 10^{-3} )\ m^3[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{6.8*10^{-7}}{51.00 * 10^{-3}}= ( \beta_{glass} )[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{ ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}[/tex]

Thus; the coefficient of volume expansion of the glass is [tex]\mathbf{ ( \beta_{glass} )= 1.333 *10^{-5} / K}[/tex]

The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of positions measured with the best Earth-based optical telescopes. If you cannot measure an angle smaller than this, what is the maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax

Answers

Answer:

The distance is  [tex]d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The smallest shift is [tex]d = 0.2 \ grid \ units[/tex]

Generally a grid unit is  [tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] of  an arcsec

  This implies that  0.2 grid unit is  [tex]k = \frac{0.2}{10} = 0.02 \ arc sec[/tex]

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

           [tex]d = \frac{1}{k}[/tex]

substituting values

           [tex]d = \frac{1}{0.02}[/tex]

           [tex]d = 50 \ parsec[/tex]

Note  [tex]1 \ parsec \ \to 3.26 \ light \ year \ \to 3.086*10^{13} \ km[/tex]

So  [tex]d = 50 * 3.08 *10^{13}[/tex]

     [tex]d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km[/tex]
