Answer:

31.4 mm²

Explanation:

The ability of a telescope or eye to gather light can be expressed by the formula,

GDP=\pi } \frac{d^{2} }{4}

where d signifies the diameter of the pupil.

In bright daylight, the usual size of the pupil is 3 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{3^{2} }{4}

Conversely, in darkness, the diameter typically enlarges to 7 mm.

GDP_{b} =\pi \frac{7^{2} }{4}

This indicates an increase in light-gathering capacity.

Increase=\pi \frac{49}{4} -\pi \frac{9}{4} \\Increase=31.4 mm^{2}

Thus, the amount of light the eye can capture is 31.4 mm².

A 100 cm3 block of lead weighs 11N is carefully submerged in water. One cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N.
Keith_Richards [3271]

#1

The volume of lead measures 100 cm^3

with a density of lead at 11.34 g/cm^3

. Thus, the mass of the lead block equals density multiplied by volume

m = 100 * 11.34 = 1134 g

m = 1.134 kg

Therefore, its weight in air is noted as

W = mg = 1.134* 9.8 = 11.11 N

Next, the buoyant force acting on the lead is defined as

F_B = W - F_{net}

F_B = 11.11 - 11 = 0.11 N

We know that

F_B = \rho V g

0.11 = 1000* V * 9.8

After solving, we find

V = 11.22 cm^3

(ii) This corresponding volume of water exerts the same weight as the buoyant force, resulting in 0.11 N

(iii) The buoyant force measures 0.11 N

(iv) The lead block sinks in water due to its density being greater than that of water.


#2

The buoyant force acting on the lead block counterbalances its weight

F_B = W

\rho V g = W

13* 10^3 * V * 9.8 = 11.11

V = 87.2 cm^3

(ii) This volume of mercury corresponds to the buoyant force weight, confirming that the block floats within mercury, resulting in 11.11 N as its weight.

(iii) The buoyant force is recorded as 11.11 N

(iv) Given that lead's density is less than mercury's, the lead will float in the mercury medium.


#3

Indeed, an object that has lesser density than a liquid will float; otherwise, it will sink in the liquid.

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2
Maru [3345]

1) For x = 6.6 cm, E_x=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C

2) For x = 6.6 cm, E_y=0

3) For x = 1.45 cm, E_x=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C

4) For x = 1.45 cm, E_y=0

5) Surface charge density at b = 4 cm: +62.75 \mu C/m^2

6) At x = 3.34 cm, the x-component of the electric field equals zero

7) Surface charge density at a = 2.9 cm: +65.25 \mu C/m^2

8) None of these regions

Explanation:

1)

The electric field from an infinite charge sheet is perpendicular to it:

E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma is the surface charge density

\epsilon_0=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m represents vacuum permittivity

Outside the slab, the electric field behaves like that of an infinite sheet.

Consequently, the electric field at x = 6.6 cm (situated to the right of both the slab and sheet) results from the combination of the fields from both:

E=E_1+E_2=\frac{\sigma_1}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma_2}{2\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2 = -2.5\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2\\\sigma_2=64 \muC/m^2 = 64\cdot 10^{-6}C/m^2

The field from the sheet points left (negative, inward), and the slab’s field points right (positive, outward).

Thus,

E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}+64\cdot 10^{-6})=3.47\cdot 10^6 N/C

and the negative sign indicates a rightward direction.

2)

Both the sheet’s and slab’s fields are perpendicular to their surfaces, directing along the x-axis, hence there's no y-component for the total field.

<pThus, the y-component totals zero.

This happens because both the sheet and slab stretch infinitely along the y-axis. Choosing any x-axis point reveals that the y-component of the field, generated by a surface element dS of either the sheet or slab, dE_y, will be equal and opposite to the corresponding component from the opposite side, -dE_y. Thus, the combined y-direction field is always zero.

3)

This scenario resembles part 1), but the point here is

x = 1.45 cm

which lies between the sheet and the slab. The fields from both contribute leftward as the slab has a negative charge (resulting in an outward field). Thus, the total field computes to

E=E_1-E_2

Replacing with expressions from part 1), we get

E=\frac{1}{2\epsilon_0}(\sigma_1-\sigma_2)=\frac{1}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}(-2.5\cdot 10^{-6}-64\cdot 10^{-6})=-3.76\cdot 10^6N/C

where the negative illustrates a leftward direction.

4)

This portion parallels part 2). Since both fields remain perpendicular to the slab and sheet, no component exists along the y-axis, thus the electric field's y-component is zero.

5)

Notably, the slab behaves as a conductor, signifying charge mobility within it.

The net charge on the slab is positive, indicating a surplus of positive charge. With the negatively charged sheet on the left of the slab, positive charges shift towards the left slab edge (at a = 2.9 cm), while negative charges move to the right edge (at b = 4 cm).

The surface charge density per unit area of the slab is

\sigma=+64\mu C/m^2

This average denotes the surface charge density on both slab sides at points a and b:

\sigma=\frac{\sigma_a+\sigma_b}{2} (1)

Additionally, the infinite sheet at x = 0 negatively charged \sigma_1=-2.5\mu C/m^2, induces an opposite net charge on the slab's left surface, thus

\sigma_a-\sigma_b = +2.5 \mu C/m^2 (2)

Having equations (1) and (2) allows for solving the surface charge densities at a and b, yielding:

\sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2\\\sigma_b = +62.75 \mu C/m^2

6)

We aim to compute the x-component of the electric field at

x = 3.34 cm

This point lies inside the slab, bounded at

a = 2.9 cm

b = 4.0 cm

In a conducting slab, the electric field remains at zero owing to charge equilibrium; thus, the x-component thereof in the slab is zero

7)

From part 5), we determined the surface charge density at x = a = 2.9 cm is \sigma_a = +65.25 \mu C/m^2

8)

As mentioned in part 6), conductors have zero electric fields internally. Since the slab is conductive, the electric field inside remains zero; therefore, the regions where the electric field is null are

2.9 cm < x < 4 cm

Thus, the suitable answer is

"none of these regions"

A student wants to determine the coefficient of static friction μ between a block of wood and an adjustable inclined plane. Of t
serg [3582]

Response:

A protractor to gauge the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal

Explanation:

The student must elevate the free end of the adjustable inclined plane until the object just begins to slide and record the angle at that precise moment. At this juncture, the frictional force is balanced by the weight component aligned with the incline. That is:

f=\mu\,* N = \mu * m g\, cos(\theta)

and  w_{//}= m\,g\,sin(\theta)

Consequently, the coefficient of static friction can be entirely established by calculating the tangent of the angle formed by the incline with the horizontal.

f = w_{//}\\\mu *\,m \,g\,cos(\theta) = m\,g\,sin(\theta)\\\mu = tan(\theta)

For this, the sole additional tool needed is a protractor for angle measurement.
