Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It's a scalar but will be positive or negative depending on the sign of the charge.

Explanation:

The electric potential, at a given point, can be defined as the work per unit charge needed to bring a positive test charge from infinity to this point.It's positive if the charge creating the potential is positive (because it's needed that an external force do work on the test charge against the electric field that repels the positive charge).It's negative if the charge creating the potential is negative, because in this case the field will attract the positive test charge.

Suppose that you connect the terminals of two batteries of different emfs positive to positive and negative to negative (opposing each other) in a circuit. If you wanted to add in a capacitor to charge it from the batteries, would you be able to get more charge onto the capacitor or less charge, than if there was only one battery. (hint: start this problem by aligning the batteries positive to negative, and think of it from conservation of energy perspective).

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

This question is very basic and easy. The answer to this question is:

Answer: If both batteries are connected we would get less amount of charge as compared to connected a single battery.

Reasoning:

If both batteries are connected in a manner of positive terminal to positive terminal and negative terminal to negative terminal then a capacitor is added to charge it from the batteries then, total electromotive force (emf) would decrease.

As a result, the capacitor added would get less amount of charge stored. But capacitor added will get more amount of charge stored when a single battery is connected.

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium withthe mixture. The piston is then moved inward very slowly, that thegas is always in thermal equilibrium with the ice-water mixture,what happens to the following(increase, decrease, same)?

a. volume of gas
b. temperature of gas
c. internal energy of gas,
d. pressure of gas

Answers

Answer:

a. volume of gas:  (decreases)

b. temperature of gas:  (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.

On a car trip you drive for 2 hours and 41 minutes on a highway at a speed of 107.0 km/h. Then you stop at a gas station to fill up your tank. You also eat a quick lunch. The whole break lasts 23 minutes. After the break you start your engine up and you switch to a state road. You drive for another 3 hours and 31 minutes at a speed of 67.0 km/h before you arrive to your destination. What was your average speed for the whole trip with the lunchbreak included

Answers

Answer:

v = 79.3 km/h

Explanation:

By definition, the average speed, is the quotient between the total distance traveled and the time needed to travel that distance.The total time, is the sum of three times: one while driving before stopping at the gas station (t₁), the time spent there (t₂) and the time since leaving the gas station until reaching the final destination (t₃) .Let's convert these times to seconds first:

      [tex]t_{1} = 161 min* \frac{60s}{1min} = 9660 s (1)[/tex]

      [tex]t_{2} = 23 min* \frac{60s}{1min} = 1380 s (2)[/tex]

      [tex]t_{3} = 211 min* \frac{60s}{1min} = 12660 s (3)[/tex]

      [tex]t_{tot} =t_{1} +t_{2} +t_{3} = 9660s + 1380s + 12660s = 23700s (4)[/tex]

In order to find the total distance traveled, we need to add the distance traveled before stopping at the gas station (x₁) and the distance traveled after leaving it (x₂).Applying the definition of average speed, we can find these distances as follows:

       [tex]x_{1} = v_{1} * t_{1} (5)[/tex]

       [tex]x_{2} = v_{2} * t_{3} (6)[/tex]

where v₁ = 107.0 km/h, and v₂= 67.0 km/hAs we did with time, let's convert v₁ and v₂ to m/s:

       [tex]v_{1} = 107.0 km/h*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s} = 29.7 m/s (7)[/tex]

      [tex]v_{2} = 67.0 km/h*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1h}{3600s} = 18.6 m/s (8)[/tex]

Replacing (7) and (1) in (5) we get x₁, as follows (in meters):

       [tex]x_{1} = v_{1} * t_{1} = 29.7 m/s * 9660 s = 286902 m (9)[/tex]

Doing the same for x₂ with (3) and (8):

       [tex]x_{2} = v_{2} * t_{3} = 18.6 m/s * 12660 s = 235476 m (10)[/tex]

Total distance traveled is just the sum of (9) and (10):

       [tex]x_{tot} = x_{1} +x_{2} = 286902 m + 235476 m = 522378 m (11)[/tex]

As we have already said, the average speed is just the quotient between (11) and (4), as follows:

       [tex]v_{avg} =\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{522378m}{23700s} = 22.0 m/s (12)[/tex]

Converted back to km/h:

       [tex]v_{avg} = 22.0 m/s*\frac{1km}{1000m}*\frac{3600s}{1h} = 79.3 km/h (13)[/tex]

Earth's magnetic field is approximately 1/2 gauss, that is 50 micro-tesla because the SI field unit of a tesla is 10,000 gauss. Earth's north geographic pole is close to its south magnetic pole, and magnetic field is directed from the north to the south poles of a magnetic dipole so it goes from Earth's south geographic pole towards its north. Suppose you have wire carrying a large DC current from the south wall of a building to its north wall and that it is horizontal, on the floor. If Earth's field is parallel to the ground and does not dip, what force if any would the wire experience

Answers

Answer:

F = 0

Explanation:

The magnetic force is described by two expressions

for a moving charge

          F = q v x B

for a wire with a current

         F = I L xB

bold indicates vectors

let's write this equation in module form

         F = I L B sin θ

where the angle is between the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field

In this case they indicate that the cable goes from the South wall to the North wall, so this is the direction of the current

The magnetic field of the Earth goes from the south to the north and in this part it is horizontal

Therefore the current and the magnetic field are parallel, the angle between them is zero

           sin 0 = 0

consequently the magnetic force is zero

            F = 0

View Available Hint(s) Select the best answer from the choices provided. The potential difference between the ends of the tube does not depend on the tube's orientation. The tube should be held horizontally, parallel to the ground. The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Answers

Answer:

The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer: The tube should be held vertically and perpendicular to the ground. The reason is as follows:

Reasoning:

The power lines are parallel to the ground hence, their electric field will be perpendicular to the ground and equipotential surface will be cylindrical.

Hence, if you will put fluorescent tube parallel to the ground then both the ends of the tube will lie on the same equipotential surface and the potential difference will be zero.

So, to maximize the potential the ends of the tube must be on different equipotential surfaces. The surface which is near to the power line has high potential value and the surface which is farther from the line has lower potential value.

hence, to maximize the potential difference, the tube must be placed perpendicular to the ground.

Semiconductors can simplistically be thought of as an intermediate state between insulators and conductors. In a semiconductor, charges are normally bound in place (like in an insulator), but when injected with enough energy, the charges can move freely (like in a conductor). Given what we have observed about the behavior of conductors and insulators in this exploration, what would happen if we replaced the glass rod with a semiconductor material

Answers

Answer:

The semiconductor rod will conduct electricity

Explanation:

Glass rod does not conduct electricity. Glass is one of the best insulators of electricity. But when a glass rod is replace with a semi conductor, then the semi conductor rod starts conducting electricity as the electrons are free to move.

Semi conductors are special materials in which the energy band lies in between the conductor and the non conductor. The conductivity of a semi conductor increases with the increasing temperature.

In an semi conductor the electrons are free to move and as they starts moving they conduct electricity. Thus a semi conductor rod replacing a glass rod conducts electricity.

Review Conceptual Example 8 before starting this problem. A block is attached to a horizontal spring and oscillates back and forth on a frictionless horizontal surface at a frequency of 3.96 Hz. The amplitude of the motion is 5.95 x 10-2 m. At the point where the block has its maximum speed, it suddenly splits into two identical parts, only one part remaining attached to the spring. (a) What is the amplitude and (b) the frequency of the simple harmonic motion that exists after the block splits

Answers

Answer:

a)  A' =  0.345  m,  b)  f = 2,800 Hz

Explanation:

b) The angular velocity of a simple harmonic motion is

        w =[tex]\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

angular velocity and frequency are related

        w = 2π f

we substitute

        f = 1 /2π   √k/m

indicates that the initial frequency value f = 3.96 Hz

in this case the mass is reduced by half

       m ’= m / 2

we substitute

       f = 2π [tex]\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }[/tex]

       f = √1/2    (2π √k/m)

       f = 1 /√2  3.96

       f = 2,800 Hz

a) The amplitude of the movement is defined by the value of the initial depalzamienot before an external force that initiates the movement.

When the block is divided into two parts of equal masses as if it were exploding, for which we can use the conservation of moment

initial instant. Right before the division

        p₀ = (m₁ + m₁) v

final instant. Right after the split

        p_f = m₁ v '

        p₀ = p_f

        (2 m₁) v = m₁ v ’

        v ’= 2v

At this point we can use conservation of energy for the system with only half the block.

Starting point. Where the block divides

         Em₀o = K = ½ m v'²

Final point. Point of maximum elongation

          Em_f = Ke = ½ k A²

how energy is conserved

         Em₀ = Em_f

         ½ m’ v’² = ½ k A’²

we substitute the previous expressions

         ½ m/2 (2v)² = ½ k A’²

         A’² = 2  m v² / k                       (1)

Let's use the conservation of energy with the initial conditions, before dividing the block

          ½ m v2 = ½ k A2

          A² = mv² / k = 5.95 10⁻² m²

we substitute in 1

         A'² = 2 A²

           

          A ’²=  2 5.95 10⁻²

          A ’²= 11.9 10⁻² m

          A' =  0.345  m
