A huge (essentially infinite) horizontal nonconducting sheet 10.0 cm thick has charge uniformly spread over both faces. The uppe
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

6.78 X 10³ N/C

Explanation:

Electric field near a charged infinite plate

=  surface charge density / 2ε₀

Field will be perpendicular to the surface of the plate for both the charge density and direction of field will be same so they will add up.

Field due to charge density of +95.0 nC/m2

E₁ = 95 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 ε₀

Field due to charge density of -25.0 nC/m2

E₂ = 25 x 10⁻⁹ /  2ε₀

Total field

E = E₁ + E₂

= 95 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 ε₀ + 25 x 10⁻⁹ /  2ε₀

= 6.78 X 10³ N/C

A steel rod with a length of l = 1.55 m and a cross section of A = 4.45 cm2 is held fixed at the end points of the rod. What is
Blababa [14]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to thermal stress. Said stress is defined as the amount of deformation caused by the change in temperature, based on the parameters of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material, Young's module and the Area or area of the area.

F = AY\alpha \Delta T

Where

A = Cross-sectional Area

Y = Young's modulus

\alpha= Coefficient of linear expansion for steel

\Delta T= Temperature Raise

Our values are given as,

A = 4.45cm^2

T = 37K

\alpha = 1.17*10^{-5}K^{-1}

Y = 200*10^9Gpa

Replacing we have,

F = (4.45*10^{-4})(200*10^9)(1.17*10^{-5})(37)

F = 38526.1N

Therefore the size of the force developing inside the steel rod when its temperature is raised by 37K is 38526.1N

Two identical horizontal sheets of glass have a thin film of air of thickness t between them. The glass has refractive index 1.4
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

Explanation:

From the question; the path difference is Δx = 2t  (since the condition of the phase difference in the maxima and minima gets interchanged)

Now for constructive interference;

Δx= (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

replacing ;

Δx = 2t   ; we have:

2t = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)

Given that thickness t = 700 nm

Then

2× 700 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     --- equation (1)

For thickness t = 980 nm that is next to constructive interference

2× 980 = (m+ \frac{1}{2} \lambda)     ----- equation (2)

Equating the difference of equation (2) and equation (1); we have:'

λ = (2 × 980) - ( 2× 700 )

λ = 1960 - 1400

λ = 560 nm

Thus;  the wavelength λ of the light when it is traveling in air = 560 nm

b)  

For the smallest thickness t_{min} ; \ \ \ m =0

∴ 2t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{2}

t_{min} =\frac{\lambda}{4}

t_{min} =\frac{560}{4}

t_{min} =140 \ \  nm

Thus, the smallest thickness t of the air film = 140 nm

The δe of a system that releases 12.4 j of heat and does 4.2 j of work on the surroundings is __________ j.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The answer for this problem is clarified through this, the system is absorbing (+). And now see that it uses that the SURROUNDINGS are doing 84 KJ of work. Any time a system is overshadowing work done on it by the surroundings the sign will be +. So it's just 12.4 KJ + 4.2 = 16.6 KJ.
