Two charges q1 = 5 µC, q2 = -26 µC, are L = 19 cm apart. A third charge is to be placed on the line between the two charges. How

far from q1 should the third charge be placed so that the net electric force on the third charge is minimized?

The electric between two objects is proportional to the product of the charge of the two objects  and inversely proportional to square of the distance betweeen them. In this case, the length between the original charges is 19 cm. We setup the equation k q1 q3/ (x)^2 = k q2 q3/ (19-x)^2 where x is the distance between q1 and q3. q3 is cancelled out. q2 is taken with an absolute value. x is equal to 5.79 cm.

A rigid vessel of 0.06 m3 volume contains an ideal gas , CV =2.5R, at 500K and 1 bar.a). if 15000J heat is transferred to the ga
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Given that

V= 0.06 m³

Cv= 2.5 R= 5/2 R

T₁=500 K

P₁=1 bar

Heat addition = 15000 J

We know that heat addition at constant volume process ( rigid vessel ) given as

Q = n Cv ΔT

We know that

P V = n R T

n=PV/RT

n= (100 x 0.06)(500 x 8.314)

n=1.443 mol

So

Q = n Cv ΔT

15000 = 1.433 x 2.5 x 8.314 ( T₂-500)

T₂=1000.12 K

We know that at constant volume process

P₂/P₁=T₂/T₁

P₂/1 = 1000.21/500

P₂= 2 bar

Entropy change given as

\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}

Cp-Cv= R

Cp=7/2 R

Now by putting the values

\Delta S=nC_P\ln \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}-nR\ln \dfrac{P_2}{P_1}

\Delta S=1.443\times 3.5\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{1000.21}{500}-1.443\times 8.314\ln \dfrac{2}{1}

a)ΔS= 20.79 J/K

b)

If the process is adiabatic it means that heat transfer is zero.

So

ΔS= 20.79 J/K

We know that

\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}

Process is adiabatic

\Delta S_{surr}=0

\Delta S_{univ}=\Delta S_{syatem}+\Delta S_{surr}

\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79 +0

\Delta S_{univ}= 20.79

Stu wanted to calculate the resistance of a light bulb connected to a 4.0-V battery, with a resulting current of 0.5 A. He used
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The answer is not correct.

Explanation:

Stu's answer is not correct, the equation to use is known as the law of ohm. In which the voltage is defined as the product of the current by the resistance, then we will see this equation.

V = I*R\\where:\\I = current [amp]\\R = resistance [ohm]\\V = voltage [volts]\\

In order to find resistance, this term is found multiplying the current on the right side of the equation, therefore the current will be divided on the left side of the equation.

R=\frac{V}{I} \\replacing:\\R=\frac{4}{0.5} \\R=8[ohms]

That is the reason that the result found by Stu is not correct.

When the Glen Canyon hydroelectric power plant in Arizona is running at capacity, 690 m3 of water flows through the dam each sec
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1340.2MW

Explanation:

Hi!

To solve this problem follow the steps below!

1 finds the maximum maximum power, using the hydraulic power equation which is the product of the flow rate by height by the specific weight of fluid

W=αhQ

α=specific weight for water =9.81KN/m^3

h=height=220m

Q=flow=690m^3/s

W=(690)(220)(9.81)=1489158Kw=1489.16MW

2. Taking into account that the generator has a 90% efficiency, Find the real power by multiplying the ideal power by the efficiency of the electric generator

Wr=(0.9)(1489.16MW)=1340.2MW

the maximum possible electric power output is 1340.2MW

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum. Find the refractive index of the medium.
grin007 [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The refractive index is 1.66

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The speed of light in a transparent medium is 0.6 times that of its speed in vacuum .

Refractive index of medium = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium  

So

RI = 1/0.6 = 5/3 or 1.66
