Answer:

r= 2.17 m

Explanation:

Conceptual Analysis:

The electric field at a distance r from a charge line of infinite length and constant charge per unit length is calculated as follows:

E= 2k*(λ/r) Formula (1)

Where:

E: electric field .( N/C)

k: Coulomb electric constant. (N*m²/C²)

λ: linear charge density. (C/m)

r : distance from the charge line to the surface where E calculates (m)

Known data

E= 2.9  N/C

λ = 3.5*10⁻¹⁰ C/m

k= 8.99 *10⁹ N*m²/C²

Problem development

We replace data in the formula (1):

E= 2*k*(λ/r)

2.9= 2*8.99 *10⁹*(3.5*10⁻¹⁰/r)

r =( 2*8.99 *10⁹*3.5*10⁻¹⁰) / (2.9)

r= 2.17 m

shusha [124]

Answer:

Part a) When collision is perfectly inelastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b) When collision is perfectly elastic

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that collision is perfectly inelastic

so here we will have

mv_m = (m + M)v

so we have

v = \frac{mv_m}{m + M}

now we know that in order to complete the circle we will have

v = \sqrt{5Rg}

\frac{mv_m}{m + M} = \sqrt{5Rg}

now we have

v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}

Part b)

Now we know that collision is perfectly elastic

so we will have

v = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

now we have

\sqrt{5Rg} = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}

v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}

Describe the energy transformations that take place when a skier starts skiing down a hill but after a time is brought to rest b
Andrews [41]
<span>The skier will transform their gravitational energy into mostly kinetic energy (with a minor amount transformed into heat from the friction of the skis across the snow and air friction). Once the skier hits the snowdrift, their kinetic energy is transferred into the snow which moves when they strike it due to the kinetic energy that is now in the snow. Along with again a minor amount of heat energy transferred as they move through the snowdrift.</span>

Rita has two small containers, one holding a liquid and one holding a gas. Rita transfers the substances to two larger container
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Sample Response: liquids flow freely, they take the shape of the container they are in, but have a definite volume. Like liquids, the shape of a gas changes with the container. This is because the atoms in a gas move rapidly and freely to fill any available space. Unlike liquids, the volume of a gas changes depending on the container it is in.

Compare the benefits of wildfires to grasslands, northern forests, and deciduous forests.
Dimas [21]
Wildfires benefit grasslands, northern forests, and deciduous forests. Grasslands are benefited by improved soil quality and control of tree cover. Invertebrate species diversity is maintained through wildfire as well. Northern forests, like grasslands, experience increased production and nutritional quality of food as a result of wildfires. Deciduous forests experience an increase in the nutritional quality of food as well, but the effects are more temporary. The amount of shrubs in deciduous forests is reduced as a result of wildfires, allowing more herbaceous plants such as mosses and lichens to grow.
