Sharks are generally negatively buoyant; the upward buoyant force is less than the weight force. This is one reason sharks tend

to swim continuously; water moving past their fins causes a lift force that keeps sharks from sinking. A 92 kgbull shark has a density of 1040 kg/m3. What lift force must the shark's fins provide if the shark is swimming in seawater? Bull sharks often swim into freshwater rivers. What lift force is required in a river?

The required lift force is approximately 866.92 N. To determine this, we first establish the shark's mass at 92 kg and its density at 1040 kg/m³. The volume of the shark is calculated by dividing mass by density, yielding 0.08846 m³. The buoyant force acting on the shark is then determined by multiplying the volume by the density of water and gravity, resulting in a lift force of 866.92 N.

A parallel-plate capacitor is constructed of two square plates, size L×L, separated by distance d. The plates are given charge ±
inna [3103]

Answer: A) 2 B) 4 C) 1

Explanation:

The electric field associated with a parallel-plate capacitor is defined as:

A) E=Q/(L^2 * ε0); if we double the charge, the resultant electric field becomes twice as strong as its initial value.

B) Referring to the earlier electric field expression, if the plate size is doubled, the final electric field will be a quarter of the original strength.

C) If the separation distance between the plates is increased twofold, the resulting electric field remains unchanged from its initial state.

The correct term is accretion disk. This refers to a formation, typically a circumstellar disk, created by dispersed matter revolving around a large central body, which is usually a star. The gravitational pull causes the material in the disk to spiral inward towards the center.

A conducting sphere 45 cm in diameter carries an excess of charge, and no other charges are present. You measure the potential o
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The excess charge is Q = 3.5 *10^{-7} \ C

Explanation:

According to the question, we are informed that

The diameter is d = 45 \ cm = 0.45 \ m

The potential of the surface is V = 14 \ kV = 14 *10^{3} \ V

The radius of the sphere is

r = \frac{d}{2}

by plugging in given values

r = \frac{0.45}{2}

r = 0.225 \ m

The potential at the surface is mathematically expressed as

V = \frac{k * Q }{r }

Where k is Coulomb's constant with a value k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.

Based on the question stating there are no other charges, Q represents the excess charge

Therefore

Q = \frac{V* r}{ k}

inserting the numerical values

Q = \frac{14 *10^{3} 0.225}{ 9*10^9}

Q = 3.5 *10^{-7} \ C
