Answer:

E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}

Explanation:

Consider the following:

Length= 2L

Linear charge density=λ

Distance= d

K=1/(4πε)

The electric field measured at point P

E=2K\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{\lambda }{r^2}dx\ sin\theta

sin\theta =\dfrac{d}{\sqrt{d^2+x^2}}

r^2=d^2+x^2

Thus,

E=2K\lambda d\int_{0}^{L}\dfrac{dx }{(x^2+d^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Now, by applying integration to the equation above

E=2K\lambda d\dfrac{L }{d^2\sqrt{L^2+d^2}}

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
kicyunya [3294]

Response: a. The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are designed with spring-loaded components to quickly return to a predetermined position.

Justification:

Adaptive optics refers to a technique employed by various astronomical observatories to compensate in real-time for the atmospheric turbulence that impacts astronomical imaging.

This is executed by integrating advanced deformable mirrors into the telescope's optical pathway, operated by a set of computer-controlled actuators. This allows for obtaining clearer images despite the atmospheric fluctuations that create distortions.

It is crucial to note that this process requires a moderately bright reference star located closely to the object being studied.

However, locating such stars is not always feasible, prompting the use of a strong laser beam directed at the upper atmosphere to create artificial stars.

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Response:

83%

Clarification:

At the surface, the weight can be expressed as:

W = GMm / R²

where G denotes the gravitational constant, M represents the Earth's mass, m signifies the shuttle's mass, and R is the Earth's radius.

When in orbit, the weight is given by:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h indicates the shuttle's altitude above Earth's surface.

The weight ratio is as follows:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

For R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

Thus, the shuttle maintains 83% of its weight as it orbits.

Can pockets of vacuum persist in an ideal gas? Assume that a room is filled with air at 20∘C and that somehow a small spherical
kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

The time required is 20 μs

Explanation:

Here is the data provided:

temperature = 20°C  = 293 K

radius = 1 cm

atomic mass of air = 29 u

To determine

the duration for air to refill the vacuum space

solution:

We calculate the root mean square velocity of air particles. This can be expressed as:

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{3}{2}RT

where m indicates mass, t is temperature, v is speed, and R is the ideal gas constant, which is approximately 8.3145 (kg·m²/s²)/K·mol.

v = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }............................1

v = \sqrt{\frac{3(8.314)293}{29*10{-3}kg} }

Resulting in v = 501.99 m/s.

<pNow, to cover the distance of 1 cm,<pThe duration needed for air is calculated as:

time taken = \frac{r}{v}

which gives us:

time taken = \frac{1*10^{-2}m}{501.99}

so, time taken = 19.92 × 10^{6} seconds = 20μs.

Thus, the required time is 20 μs.
