Answer:

300000.01008 Pa

123.76237 m/s²

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of liquid nitrogen = 808 kg/m³

h = Depth

g = Acceleration due to gravity

P = Atmospheric pressure

Absolute Pressure is given by

Below 2 m from surface

$P_a=P+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow 5\times 10^5=P+808g\times 2$

Below 5 m from surface

$P_a=P+\rho gh\\\Rightarrow 8\times 10^5=P+808g\times 5$

Subtracting the above equations we get

$-3\times 10^5=-808g3\\\Rightarrow g=\frac{3\times 10^5}{808\times 3}\\\Rightarrow g=123.76237\ m/s^2$

The acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 123.76237 m/s²

Equating the value of g in the first equation

$5\times 10^5=P+808\times 123.76237\times 2\\\Rightarrow P=5\times 10^5-808\times 123.76237\times 2\\\Rightarrow P=300000.01008\ Pa$

The atmospheric pressure on the planet is 300000.01008 Pa

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity I decreases is proportional t

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.02%

Explanation:

Using Lambert's law

Let dI / dt = kI, where k is a proportionality constant, I is intensity of incident light and t is thickness of the medium

then dI / I = kdt

taking log,

ln(I) = kt + ln C

I = Ce^kt

t=0=>I=I(0)=>C=I(0)

I = I(0)e^kt

t=3 & I=0.25I(0)=>0.25=e^3k

k = ln(0.25)/3

k = -1.386/3

k = -0.4621

I = I(0)e^(-0.4621t)

I(18) = I(0)e^(-0.4621*18)

I(18) = 0.00024413I(0)

Intensity of beam 18 feet below the surface is about 0.2%

A battery charges a parallel-plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are then slowly pulled apart. What happens to

White raven [17]

Answer:

<h2>The potential difference increases </h2>

Explanation:

from the relation $E= \frac{V}{d}$

where E= electric field (force per coulomb)

V= voltage

d= distance

Hence the voltage is going to be V= E×d.

Therefore this means that increasing the distance increases the voltage.

Two small diameter, 10gm dielectric balls can slide freely on a vertical channel each carry a negative charge of 1microcoulomb.

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The distance of separation is $d = 0.092 \ m$

Explanation:

The mass of the each ball is $m= 10 g = 0.01 \ kg$

The negative charge on each ball is $q_1 =q_2=q = 1 \mu C = 1 *10^{-6} \ C$

Now we are told that the lower ball is restrained from moving this implies that the net force acting on it is zero

Hence the gravitational force acting on the lower ball is equivalent to the electrostatic force i.e

$F = \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}$

=> $m* g = \frac{kq_1 * q_2}{d}$

here k the the coulomb's constant with a value $k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4}\cdot A^2.$

So

$0.01 * 9.8 = \frac{ 9*10^9 *[1*10^{-6} * 1*10^{-6}]}{d}$

$d = 0.092 \ m$

A 7.5 nC point charge and a - 2.9 nC point charge are 3.2 cm apart. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Net electric field, $E_{net}=91406.24\ N/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=7.5\ nC=7.5\times 10^{-9}\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=-2.9\ nC=-2.9\times 10^{-9}\ C$

distance, d = 3.2 cm = 0.032 m

Electric field due to charge 1 is given by :

$E_1=\dfrac{kq_1}{r^2}$

$E_1=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 7.5\times 10^{-9}}{(0.032)^2}$

$E_1=65917.96\ N/C$

Electric field due to charge 2 is given by :

$E_2=\dfrac{kq_2}{r^2}$

$E_2=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 2.9\times 10^{-9}}{(0.032)^2}$

$E_2=25488.28\ N/C$

The point charges have opposite charge. So, the net electric field is given by the sum of electric field due to both charges as :

$E_{net}=E_1+E_2$

$E_{net}=65917.96+25488.28$

$E_{net}=91406.24\ N/C$

So, the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two charges is 91406.24 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

At room temperature, a typical person loses energy to the surroundings at the rate of 62 W. If this energy loss has to be made u

Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem it is necessary to use the given proportions of power and energy, as well as the energy conversion factor in Jules to Calories.

The power is defined as the amount of energy lost per second and whose unit is Watt. Therefore the energy loss rate given in seconds was

$P = \frac{E}{t} \rightarrow E= Energy, t = time$

$P = 62W = 62 \frac{J}{s}$

The rate of energy loss per day would then be,

$P = 62\frac{J}{s} (\frac{86400s}{1day})$

$P = 5356800 \frac{J}{day}$

That is to say that Energy in Jules per lost day is 5356800J

By definition we know that $1KCal = 4.184*10^{6}J$

In this way the energy in Cal is,

$E = 5356800J \frac{1KCal}{4.184*10^{6}J}$

$E = 1279.694 KCal$

The number of kilocalories (food calories) must be 1279.694 KCal
