Answer:

Atmospheric pressure at Badwater is 1.01022 atm

Explanation:

Data given:

1 atmospheric pressure (Pi) = 1.01 * 10 $^{5}$ Pa

Elevation (h) = 86m

gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s2

Density of air P = 1.225 kg/m3

Therefore pressure at bad water Pb = Pi + Pgh

Pb = (1.01 * 10 $^{5}$ ) + (1.225 * 9.8 * 86)

Pb = (1.01 * 10 $^{5}$ ) + 1032.43 = 102032 Pa

hence:

Pb = 102032 /1.01 * 10 $^{5}$ = 1.01022 atm

A charge of uniform volume density (40 nC/m3) fills a cube with 8.0-cm edges. What is the total electric flux through the surfac

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The flux through the surface of the cube is $2.314\ Nm^{2}/C$

Solution:

As per the question:

Edge of the cube, a = 8.0 cm = $8.0\times 10^{- 2}\ m$

Volume Charge density, $\rho_{v} = 40 nC/m^{3} = 40\times {- 9}\ C/m^{3}$

Now,

To calculate the electric flux:

$\phi = \frac{q}{\epsilon_{o}}$ (1)

where

$\phi$ = electric flux

$\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12}\ F/m$ = permittivity of free space

Volume Charge density for the given case is given by the formula:

$\rho_{v} = \frac{Total\ charge, q}{Volume of cube, V}$ (2)

Volume of cube, $V = a^{3}$

Thus

$V = (8.0\times 10^{- 2})^{3} = 5.12\times 10^{- 4}\ m^{3}$

Thus from eqn (2), the total charge is given by:

$q = \rho_{v}V = 40\times {- 9}\times 5.12\times 10^{- 4}$

$q = 2.048\times 10^{-11}\ F = 20.48\ pF$

Now, substitute the value of 'q' in eqn (1):

$\phi = \frac{2.048\times 10^{-11}}{8.85\times 10^{- 12}} = 2.314\ Nm^{2}/C$

A Porsche challenges a Honda to a 200-m race.Because the Porsche's acceleration of 3.5 m/s2 is larger than the Honda's 3.0 m/s2,

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Honda won by 0.14 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance =S=200 m

Initial velocity of Honda=u=0m/s

Initial velocity of Porsche=u'=0m/s

Acceleration of Honda= $3.0m/s^2$

Acceleration of Porsche's= $3.5m/s^2$

Time taken by Honda to start=1 s

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Substitute the values

$200=0(t)+\frac{1}{2}(3)t^2$

$200=\frac{3}{2}t^2$

$t^2=\frac{200\times 2}{3}=\frac{400}{3}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{400}{3}}=11.55s$

Time taken by Honda=11.55 s

Now, time taken by Porsche

$200=\frac{1}{2}(3.5)t^2$

$t^2=\frac{200\times 2}{3.5}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{400}{3.5}}=10.69 s$

Total time taken by Porsche=10.69+1=11.69 s

Because it start 1 s late

Time taken by Honda is less than Porsche .Therefore, Honda won and

Time =11.69-11.55=0.14 s

Honda won by 0.14 s
