Which type of wave can transmit energy through a vacuum?

If you wished to warm 100 kg of water by 15 degrees celsius for your bath, how much heat would be required? (give your answer in

Anit [1.1K]

For the answer to the question above,
Q = amount of heat (kJ) 
cp = specific heat capacity (kJ/kg.K) = 4.187 kJ/kgK 
m = mass (kg) 
dT = temperature difference between hot and cold side (K). Note: dt in °C = dt in Kelvin 

Q = 100kg * (4.187 kJ/kgK) * 15 K 
Q = 6,280.5 KJ = 6,280,500 J = 1,501,075.5 cal

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2

docker41 [41]

1) At x = 6.6 cm, $E_x=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C$

2) At x = 6.6 cm, $E_y=0$

3) At x = 1.45 cm, $E_x=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C$

4) At x = 1.45 cm, $E_y=0$

5) Surface charge density at b = 4 cm: $+62.75 \mu C/m^2$

6) At x = 3.34 cm, the x-component of the electric field is zero

7) Surface charge density at a = 2.9 cm: $+65.25 \mu C/m^2$

8) None of these regions

Explanation:

1)

The electric field of an infinite sheet of charge is perpendicular to the sheet:

$E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

where

$\sigma$ is the surface charge density

$\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

The field produced by a thick slab, outside the slab itself, is the same as an infinite sheet.

So, the electric field at x = 6.6 cm (which is on the right of both the sheet and the slab) is the superposition of the fields produced by the sheet and by the slab:

$E=E_1+E_2=\frac{\sigma_1}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma_2}{2\epsilon_0}$

where

$\sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2 = -2.5\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2\\\sigma_2=64 \muC/m^2 = 64\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2$

The field of the sheet is to the left (negative charge, inward field), while the field of the slab is the right (positive charge, outward field).

So,

$E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}+64\cdot 10^{-6})=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C$

And the negative sign indicates that the direction is to the right.

2)

We note that the field produced both by the sheet and by the slab is perpendicular to the sheet and the slab: so it is directed along the x-direction (no component along the y-direction).

So the total field along the y-direction is zero.

This is a consequence of the fact that both the sheet and the slab are infinite along the y-axis. This means that if we take a random point along the x-axis, the y-component of the field generated by an element of surface dS of the sheet (or the slab), $dE_y$ , is equal and opposite to the y-component of the field generated by an element of surface dS of the sheet located at exactly on the opposite side with respect to the x-axis, $-dE_y$ . Therefore, the net field along the y-direction is always zero.

3)

Here it is similar to part 1), but this time the point is located at

x = 1.45 cm

so between the sheet and the slab. This means that both the fields of the sheet and of the slab are to the left, because the slab is negatively charged (so the field is outward). Therefore, the total field is

$E=E_1-E_2$

Substituting the same expressions of part 1), we find

$E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}-64\cdot 10^{-6})=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C$

where the negative sign indicates that the direction is to the left.

4)

This part is similar to part 2). Since the field is always perpendicular to the slab and the sheet, it has no component along the y-axis, therefore the y-component of the electric field is zero.

5)

Here we note that the slab is conductive: this means that the charges in the slab are free to move.

We note that the net charge on the slab is positive: this means that there is an excess of positive charge overall. Also, since the sheet (on the left of the slab) is negatively charged, the positive charges migrate to the left end of the slab (at a = 2.9 cm) while the negative charges migrate to the right end (at b = 4 cm).

The net charge per unit area of the slab is

$\sigma=+64\mu C/m^2$

And this the average of the surface charge density on both sides of the slab, a and b:

$\sigma=\frac{\sigma_a+\sigma_b}{2}$ (1)

Also, the infinite sheet located at x = 0, which has a negative charge $\sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2$ , induces an opposite net charge on the left surface of the slab, so

$\sigma_a-\sigma_b = +2.5 \mu C/m^2$ (2)

Now we have two equations (1) and (2), so we can solve to find the surface charge densities on a and b, and we find:

$\sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2\\\sigma_b = +62.75 \mu C/m^2$

6)

Here we want to calculate the value of the x-component of the electric field at

x = 3.34 cm

We notice that this point is located inside the slab, because its edges are at

a = 2.9 cm

b = 4.0 cm

But slab is conducting , and the electric field inside a conductor is always zero (because the charges are in equilibrium): therefore, this means that the x-component of the electric field inside the slab is zero

7)

We calculated the value of the charge per unit area on the surface of the slab at x = a = 2.9 cm in part 5), and it is $\sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2$

8)

As we said in part 6), the electric field inside a conductor is always zero. Since the slab in this problem is conducting, this means that the electric field inside the slab is zero: therefore, the regions where the field is zero is

2.9 cm < x < 4 cm

So the correct answer is

"none of these region"

Follow these steps to solve this problem: Two identical loudspeakers, speaker 1 and speaker 2, are 2.0 m apart and are emitting

horsena [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wave length of sound from each of the speakers = 340 / 1700 = .2 m = 20 cm

Distance between first speaker and the given point = 4 m.

Distance between second speaker and the given sound

= √ 4² + 2² = √16 +4 = √20 = 4.472 m

Path difference = 4.472 - 4 = .4722 m.

Path difference / wave length = 0.4772 / 0.2 = 2.386

This is a fractional integer which is neither an odd nor an even multiple of half wavelength. Hence this point of neither a perfect constructive nor a perfect destructive interference.

The study of alternating electric current requires the solutions of equations of the form i equals Upper I Subscript max Baselin

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Explanation:

i = Imax sin2πft

given i = 180 , Imax = 200 , f = 50 , t = ?

Put the give values in the equation above

180 = 200 sin 2πft

sin 2πft = .9

sin2π x 50t = .9

sin 360 x 50 t = sin ( 360n + 64 )

360 x 50 t = 360n + 64

360 x 50 t = 64 , ( putting n = 0 for least value of t )

18000 t = 64

t = 3.55 ms .

A disk of mass m and radius r is initially held at rest just above a larger disk of mass M and radius R that is rotating at angu

Leto [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Moment of inertia of larger disk I₁ = 1/2 MR²

Moment of inertia of smaller disk I₂ = 1/2 m r ²

Initial angular velocity

We shall apply law of conservation of angular momentum .

initial total momentum = final angular momentum

I₁ X ωi = ( I₁ + I₂ )ωf

1/2 MR² x ωi = 1/2 ( m r² + MR² ) ωf

ωf = ωi / ( 1 + m r²/MR² )
