The potential at a distance r from a charge Q is given by
V(r) = k_e  \frac{Q}{r}
where ke is the Coulomb's constant.

The charge in our problem is Q=2.9 nC=2.9 \cdot 10^{-9} C; for the point at r=0.48 mm=0.48 \cdot 10^{-3} m, the potential is
V_1 = k_e  \frac{Q}{r}= (8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}) \frac{2.9 \cdot 10^{-9} C}{0.48 \cdot 10^{-3} m}=  5.43 \cdot 10^4 V

For the point at infinity, we immediately see that the potential is zero, because r= \infty and so V_2 = 0.

Therefore, the potential difference between the two points is
\Delta V = V_1 - V_2 = V_1 = 5.43 \cdot 10^4 V

In ideal flow, a liquid of density 850 kg/m3 moves from a horizontal tube of radius 1.00 cm into a second horizontal tube of rad
Crank

Answer:

a)   Q = π r₁ √ 2ΔP / rho [r₁² / r₂² -1] , b) Q = 3.4 10⁻² m³ / s , c)      Q = 4.8 10⁻² m³ / s

Explanation:

We can solve this fluid problem with Bernoulli's equation.

         P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

With the two tubes they are at the same height y₁ = y₂

        P₁-P₂ = ½ ρ (v₂² - v₁²)

The flow rate is given by

         A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

         v₂ = v₁ A₁ / A₂

We replace

         ΔP = ½ ρ [(v₁ A₁ / A₂)² - v₁²]

         ΔP = ½ ρ v₁² [(A₁ / A₂)² -1]

Let's clear the speed

         v₁ = √ 2ΔP /ρ[(A₁ / A₂)² -1]

The expression for the flow is

           Q = A v

           Q = A₁ v₁

           Q = A₁ √ 2ΔP / rho [(A₁ / A₂)² -1]

The areas are

            A₁ = π r₁

            A₂ = π r₂

We replace

        Q = π r₁ √ 2ΔP / rho [r₁² / r₂² -1]

Let's calculate for the different pressures

      r₁ = d₁ / 2 = 1.00 / 2

      r₁ = 0.500 10⁻² m

      r₂ = 0.250 10⁻² m

b) ΔP = 6.00 kPa = 6 10³ Pa

      Q = π 0.5 10⁻² √(2 6.00 10³ / (850 (0.5² / 0.25² -1))

       Q = 1.57 10⁻² √(12 10³/2550)

        Q = 3.4 10⁻² m³ / s

c) ΔP = 12 10³ Pa

        Q = 1.57 10⁻² √(2 12 10³ / (850 3)

         Q = 4.8 10⁻² m³ / s

The formation of magma within Earth is NOT caused by which of the following processes? A. decompression (drop in pressure) B. ad
Lunna [17]

Answer:

D. loss of volatiles to the atmosphere

Explanation:

The name magma designates matter in a semi-fluid state - resulting from the fusion of silicates containing dispersed solid gases and minerals and other compounds that make up the rocks, at temperatures between 700 and 1200 ° C - that forms the region beneath the crust. land. When it is inside the earth it is specifically named magma and lava when it is ejected to the surface

There are three systems by which magma can be produced on earth:

<u> Temperature</u> rise by concentration of r<u>adioactive elements or by friction of lithospheric plates</u>.

<u> Pressure decrease,</u> since the melting point decreases.

Adding <u>water</u> A rock begins to melt earlier if it contains water because the –OH groups effectively break the Si-O bonds.

A rock is formed by a set of minerals, each of which has a characteristic melting point so a rock does not have a single melting point but a temperature range in which the rock melts into parts, leaving others solid parts. Between the point at which a solid rock begins to melt and the melting end (liquid point) the rock is partially molten.

The rise of magmas depends on their physical-chemical conditions (viscosity, density, volatile element content), on the tectonic peculiarities of the region where they are found and on the rocks to be traversed. Acid magmas are light and viscous, rise easily and cause large deposits. The basic magmas, of greater density, are less viscous and ascend with greater difficulty than the previous ones.

Devonte pushes a wheelbarrow with 830 W of power. How much work is required to get the wheelbarrow across the yard in 11 s? Roun
xxMikexx [17]

Answer: 9130 joules

Explanation:

Workdone by wheelbarrow = ?

Time = 11 seconds

Power = 830 watts

Recall that power is the rate of doing work. Thus, power is workdone divided by time taken.

i.e Power = (workdone/time)

830 watts = Workdone / 11 seconds

Workdone = 830 watts x 11 seconds

Workdone = 9130 joules

Thus, 9130 joules of work is required to get the wheelbarrow across the yard.
