Answer:

The overall length of the spiral, designated as L, is calculated to be 5378.01 m

Explanation:

Provided information:

Inner radius R1=2.5 cm

and outer radius R2= 5.8 cm.

The thickness of the spiral winding is (d) =1.6 \mu m = 1.6x 10^{-6} m

The total length of the spiral can be computed as

= \frac{(Area\ of\ the\ spiraing\ portion\ on\ the\ disk)}{d}

=\frac{\pi *(R_2)^2 - \pi*(R_1)^2}{d}

=\frac{\pi *(0.058)^2 - \pi*(0.025)^2}{1.6*10^{-6}}

= 5378.01 m

Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller
Softa [2029]

Answer:

σ₁ = 3.167 * 10^{-6} C/m²

σ₂ = 7.6 * 10 ^{-6}  C/m²

Explanation:

Provided Information:

i) Smaller sphere's radius ( r ) = 5 cm.

ii) Larger sphere's radius ( R ) = 12 cm.

iii) Electric field at the larger sphere's surface  ( E₁ ) = 358 kV/m, which is equivalent to 358 * 1000 v/m

E_{1} = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon }) (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )

358000 = 9 * 10^{9 } *\frac{Q_{1} }{0.12^{2} }

Charge (Q₁) = 572.8 * 10^{-9} C

Since the electric field inside a conductor is zero, the electric potential ( V ) remains constant.

V = constant

∴\frac{Q_{1} }{R} = \frac{Q_{2} }{r}

Q_{2} = \frac{r}{R} *Q_{1}

Q_{2} = \frac{5}{12} *572.8*10^{-9}   = 238.666 *10^{-9} C

Surface charge density ( σ₁ ) for the larger sphere.

Calculated Area ( A₁ )  = 4 * π * R²  = 4 * 3.14 * 0.12 = 0.180864 m².

σ₁  = \frac{Q_{1} }{A_{1} } = \frac{572.8 *10^{-9} }{0.180864} = 3.167 * 10^{-6}  C/m².

Surface charge density ( σ₂ ) for the smaller sphere.

Calculated Area ( A₂ )  = 4 * π * r²  = 4 * 3.14 * 0.05²  = 0.0314 m².

σ₂ =\frac{Q_{2} }{A_{2} } = \frac{238.66 *10^{-9} }{0.0314} = 7.6 * 10 ^{-6} C/m²

According to a newspaper account, a paratrooper survived a training jump from 1200 ft when his parachute failed to open but prov
Softa [2029]
Let's consider a few possibilities. 1. The lowest velocity of the paratrooper would be just before hitting the ground. 2. Given that the jump originated from a relatively short height, the paratrooper utilized a static line, allowing the parachute to deploy almost instantly after leaping. Hence, we will convert 100 mi/h to ft/s: 100 mi/h * 5280 ft/mi / 3600 s/h = 146.67 ft/sec. Based on the first assumption, the maximum distance fallen by the paratrooper would equate to 8 seconds at 146.67 ft/s, translating to 8 s * 146.67 ft/s = 1173.36 ft. This calculated distance is nearly on par with the jump height, validating both assumptions 1 and 2. Thus, this scenario seems plausible. Moreover, considering the terminal velocity for a parachutist in a freefall position with limbs spread out typically reaches 120 mi/h, which is slightly above the 100 mi/h mentioned in the article. This as well aligns with the notion of the parachute acting like a flag, adding some air resistance.

Steel blocks A and B, which have equal masses, are at TA = 300 oC and T8 = 400 oC. Block C, with mc - 2mA, is at TC = 350 oC. Bl
serg [2593]

Answer:

b) TA = TB = TC

Explanation:

  • When the blocks are brought into contact and isolated from the environment, they will exchange heat until they achieve thermal equilibrium.
  • During this exchange, the hotter body will lose heat, which will be gained by the cooler body.
  • The equilibrium state will be established once this equation is satisfied:

       \Delta Q = c_{st}* m_{A} * (T_{fin} - T_{0A} ) = c_{st}* m_{B} * (T_{0B} - T_{fin} )

  • Substituting the initial temperatures T₀A = 300º C and T₀B = 400ºC, while simplifying for equal block masses mA = mB, enables us to solve for the final temperature, Tfin:

       (400 \ºC - T_{fin}) = (T_{fin} - 300 \ºC) \\ \\ 2* T_{fin} = 700\ºC\\ \\ T_{fin} = 350\ºC

  • At equilibrium, when both blocks combine, they will yield a uniform final temperature of 350ºC.
  • When block C, also at this temperature, makes contact, all three blocks will simultaneously reflect this final temperature of 350 ºC.
  • Therefore, option b) is correct.

the minute hand on a clock is 9 cm long and travels through an arc of 252 degrees every 42 minutes. To the nearest tenth of a ce
Ostrovityanka [2204]

Answer:

The distance covered by the minutes hand is 39.60 cm.

Explanation:

Note: A clock has a circular shape, where the minutes hand acts as the radius, and its motion creates an arc.

Length of an arc is calculated as ∅/360(2πr)

L = ∅/360(2πr).................... Equation 1π

Here, L represents the arc’s length, ∅ is the angle made by the arc, and r is the arc’s radius.

Given: ∅ = 252°, r = 9 cm, π = 3.143.

Upon substituting these values into equation 1,

L = 252/360(2×3.143×9)

L = 0.7×2×3.143×9

L = 39.60 cm.

Thus, the distance traversed by the minutes hand is 39.60 cm.
