As a space shuttle moves through the dilute ionized gas of Earth's ionosphere, the shuttle's potential is typically changed by -

1.1 V during one revolution. Assuming the shuttle is a conducting sphere of radius 10 m, estimate the amount of charge it collects.

Answer:

The amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

Explanation:

The magnitude of Electric potential is given as;

V = kq/r

where;

V is the electric potential in volts

k is coulomb's constant

r is the radius of the sphere or distance moved by the charge

given;  V = -1.1 V, k = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/C², r = 10m

Substituting this values in the above equation, we estimate the amount of charge space shuttle collects.

q = (V*r)/k

q = (-1.1 *10)/(8.99 x 10⁹ )

q = -1.224 X 10⁻⁹ C

q = -1.224nC

Therefore, the amount of charge the space shuttle collects is -1.224nC

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

1) 50 seconds 2) 100°C

Explanation:

(Follows formula of Power=Energy/Time)

1) 500W x X = 2000J/kg°C x .25kg x 50°C

X = 50 seconds.

2) 2000W x 300s = 1000J/kg°C x 2kg x X

X = 300

Initial temperature => 400°C-300°C = 100°C

A solid sphere of brass (bulk modulus of 14.0 ✕ 1010 N/m2) with a diameter of 2.20 m is thrown into the ocean. By how much does
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Diameter decreases by the diameter of 0.0312 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Bulk modulus =  14.0 × 10¹⁰ N/m²

Diameter d = 2.20 m

Depth = 2.40 km

Pressure = ρ g h = 1030 × 9.81 × 2.4 × 1000

               = 24.25 × 10⁶  N/m²

Volume = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3

         \dfrac{\Delta V}{V}=\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{r^3}

Bulk modulus is equal to

B = -\dfrac{\Delta P}{\dfrac{\Delta V}{V} }

now

B = -\dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6}{\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{r^3} }

B = -\dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6}{\dfrac{(\Delta r)^3}{1.1^3} }

(\Delta r)^3 = \dfrac{24.25 \times 10^6 \times 1.1^3}{14.0 \times 10^{10}}

Δ r = -0.0156 m

change in diameter

Δ d = -2 × 0.0156

Δ d = -0.0312 m

Diameter decreases by the diameter of 0.0312 m.

Pamela drove her car 999999 kilometers and used 999 liters of fuel. she wants to know how many kilometers (k)(k)left parenthesis
Vanyuwa [196]
When the relationship between two variables are said to be proportional, it means that one variable is a constant multiple of the other variable. They are related by a constant of proportionality, usually denoted as k. 

In this problem, the dependent variable is the distance in kilometers. Your mileage is limited with the amount of fuel you have. Thus, the independent variable is the liters of fuel. When these two are proportional, it could be expressed as

distance = k * liters of fuel, such that 
distance/liters of fuel = k

By variation,

distance,1/liters of fuel,1 = distance,2/liters of fuel,2, where 1 denotes situation 1 and 2 denotes situation 2. Therefore,

 999999 km /<span>999 liters =  x km /</span><span>121212 liters, where x is the unknown distance. We can now therefore find the value of x.

x = (999999*121212)/999
x = 121333212 kilometers</span>

If two waves with identical crests and troughs meet, what is happening? The wave is reflecting. Constructive interference is occ
Kazeer [188]
The correct answer would be that destructive interference is happening. In this interference, the crest of a wave meets a trough of another wave resulting to an amplitude that is lower. The opposite is called the constructive interference. Hope this answers the question.

An initially neutral glass rod is rubbed with silk. It becomes positively charged by_____.a) electrons are created on the rod.
Dimas [21]

Answer:

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.

Explanation:

An initially neutral glass rod contains equal number of electron and proton.

If the rod becomes positively charged  after being rubbed with silk, then the rod must have lost some its electron to the silk since electrons are more mobile than protons, leaving the rod with excess positive charge (protons), and the silk will be negatively charged (excess electron).

Thus, the rod becomes positively charged by transfer of electrons from rod to the silk.

e) electrons are transferred from the rod to the silk.
