Explanation:
Please find the complete question in the attached file.
The cost after 30 days is 60 dollars. As energy remains constant, the cost per hour over 30 days will be decreased.
[tex]\to \frac{\$60}{\frac{30 \ days}{24\ hours}} = \$0.08 / kwh.[/tex]
Thus, [tex]\frac{\$0.08}{\$0.12} = 0.694 \ kW \times 0.694 \ kW \times 1000 = 694 \ W.[/tex]
The electricity used is continuously 694W over 30 days.
If just resistor loads (no reagents) were assumed,
[tex]\to I = \frac{P}{V}= \frac{694\ W}{120\ V} = 5.78\ A[/tex]
Energy usage reduction percentage = [tex](\frac{60\ W}{694\ W} \times 100\%)[/tex]
This bulb accounts for [tex]8.64\%[/tex] of the energy used, hence it saves when you switch it off.

There are two possible alignments of a dipole in an external electric field where the dipole is in equilibrium: when the dipole moment is parallel to the electric field and when the dipole moment is oriented opposite the electric field.
Part A
Are both alignments stable? (Consider what would happen in each case if you gave the dipole a slight twist.)
a) Yes
b) No
Part B
Based on your answer to the previous part and your experience in mechanics, in which orientation does the dipole have less potential energy?
a) The arrangement with the dipole moment parallel to the electric field has less potential energy.
b) The arrangement with the dipole moment opposite the electric field has less potential energy.
c) Both arrangements have the same potential energy.
Answers
Answer:
A. (b)
B. (a)
Explanation:
The electric dipole moment is the product of charge and the length of the dipole.
The torque on the dipole placed in the external electric field is given by
torque = p E sin A
where, p is the electric dipole moment, E is the electric field, A is the angle between the field and dipole moment.
When the dipole moment is parallel to the electric field, the net torque is zero and it is said to be in stable equilibrium.
When the dipole moment is anti parallel to the electric field, the net torque is zero but the dipole is in unstable equilibrium.
So, the option (b) is correct.
Teh energy is given by
U = - p E cos A
When the angle A is zero , the potential energy is negative and it is minimum.
In this exercise we have to use the knowledge about dipole to be able to mark the correct alternative for each question, in this way we find that:
A) Letter b
B) Letter a
So knowing that the electric dipole moment is the product of charge and the length of the dipole and the torque on the dipole placed in the external electric field is given by:
[tex]torque = p E sin (A)[/tex]
where:
p: the electric dipole momentE: the electric fieldA: the angle between the field and dipole momentWhen the dipole moment is parallel to the electric field, the net torque is zero and it is said to be in stable equilibrium. When the dipole moment is anti parallel to the electric field, the net torque is zero but the dipole is in unstable equilibrium.
Now the energy is given by:
[tex]U = - p E cos (A)[/tex]
We can say that when the angle A is zero , the potential energy is negative and it is minimum.

A cable is lifting a construction worker and a crate, as the drawing shows. The weights of the worker and crate are 965 and 1510 N, respectively. The acceleration of the cable is 0.620 m s 2 , upward. What is the tension in the cable (a) below the worker and ( b) above the worker
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
Below the worker , the tension in cable is pulling the crate . Let the tension be T₁ .
weight of crate is acting downwards .
Total weight 1510 N.
Net force acting on both = T₁ - 1510
Applying second law of Newton ,
T₁ - 1510 = 1510 / 9.8 x 0.62 [ 1510 / 9.8 = mass of crate ]
T₁ - 1510 = 95.5
T₁ = 1605.5 N.
b )
Above the worker , the tension in cable is pulling both the worker and the crate . Let the tension be T₂ .
weight of both worker and crate is acting downwards .
Total weight = 965 + 1510 = 2475 N.
Net force acting on both = T₂ - 2475
Applying second law of Newton ,
T₂ - 2475 = 2475 / 9.8 x 0.62 [ 2475 / 9.8 = mass of both worker and crate ]
T₂ - 2475 = 156.6
T₂ = 2631.6 N.

What would the radius (in mm) of the Earth have to be in order for the escape speed of the Earth to equal (1/21) times the speed of light (300000000 m/s)? You may ignore all other gravitational interactions for the rocket and assume that the Earth-rocket system is isolated. Hint: the mass of the Earth is 5.94 x 1024kg and G=6.67×10−11Jmkg2G=6.67\times10^{-11}\frac{Jm}{kg^2}G=6.67×10−11kg2Jm
Answers
Answer:
The expected radius of the Earth is 3.883 meters.
Explanation:
The formula for the escape speed is derived from Principle of Energy Conservation and knowing that rocket is initially at rest on the surface of the Earth and final energy is entirely translational kinetic, that is:
[tex]U = K[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]U[/tex] - Gravitational potential energy, in joules.
[tex]K[/tex] - Translational kinetic energy, in joules.
Then, we expand the formula by definitions of potential and kinetic energy:
[tex]\frac{G\cdot M\cdot m}{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot m \cdot v^{2}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]G[/tex] - Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.
[tex]M[/tex] - Mass of the Earth. in kilograms.
[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the rocket, in kilograms.
[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of the Earth, in meters.
[tex]v[/tex] - Escape velocity, in meters per second.
Then, we derive an expression for the escape velocity by clearing it within (2):
[tex]\frac{GM}{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{2\cdot G \cdot M}{r} }[/tex] (3)
If we know that [tex]v = \frac{1}{21}\cdot c[/tex], [tex]c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]M = 5.94\times 10^{24}\,kg[/tex], [tex]G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}[/tex] and [tex]M = 5.94\times 10^{24}\,kg[/tex], then the expected radius of the Earth is:
[tex]\frac{GM}{r} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot v^{2}[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{2\cdot G \cdot M}{v^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]r = \frac{2\cdot \left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.94\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{\left[\frac{1}{21}\cdot \left(3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} \right) \right]^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]r = 3.883\,m[/tex]
The expected radius of the Earth is 3.883 meters.
2. Below what depth would a submarine have to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves with a wavelength of 24 meters?
Answers
Answer: Below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves
Explanation:
To avoid the surface waves, a submarine has to submerge below the wave base. It is the position below which the motion of the waves is negligible.
This wave base is equal to half of the wavelength. The equation becomes:
Wave base = [tex]\frac{\text{Wavelength}}{2}[/tex]
We are given:
Wavelength = 24 m
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Wave base = [tex]\frac{24m}{2}=12m[/tex]
Hence, below 12m of depth, the submarine has to submerge so that it would not be swayed by surface waves

The conductivity of intrinsic semiconductors, such as silicon and germanium, can be increased when small amounts of group 3A or group 5A elements are added by a process called doping.
a. True
b. False
Answers
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;
1. Extrinsic semiconductor.
2. Intrinsic semiconductor.
An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.
Basically, the number of free electrons in an intrinsic semiconductor is equal to the number of holes. Also, the number of holes and free electrons in an intrinsic semiconductor is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.
In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.
Generally, a process referred to as doping can be used to increase the conductivity of an intrinsic semiconductor such as silicon or germanium, by adding small amounts of impurities found in group 3A or group 5A elements.

b. The change in gravitational potential energy of the person + Earch system is:
Answers
Answer:
a) W_total = mg (2h + d) , b) E_total = - mg (h + d)
Explanation:
a) We must solve this problem in two parts, the first for the accelerated movement and the second for the movement with constant speed
Let's look for work for the part that is in free fall
y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²
when he jumps out of a plane his vertical speed is zero
y =y₀ - ½ g t²
dy = 0 - ½ g 2t dt
the work in this first part is
W₁ = ∫ F dy
W₁ = mg ∫ g t dt
W₁ = m g² t² / 2
the time it takes to travel the distance y₀-y = h is
y₀-y = ½ g t²
t =[tex]\sqrt{2h/g}[/tex]
we substitute
W₁ = m g² 2h / g
W₁ = m g 2h
now we look for the work for the part with constant speed
since the velocity is constant let's use the uniform motion ratio
W₂ = F d
W₂ = mg d
the total work is
W_total = W₁ + W₂
W_total = 2mgh + m gd
W_total = mg (2h + d)
b) The change in gravitational potential energy
U = mg Δy
in the part with accelerated movement
U₁ = mg h
in the part with uniform movement
U₂ = mg d
the total potential energy is
E_total = U₁ + U₂
E_total = - mg (h + d)

Answers
Explanation:
Given
Ball is projected horizontally from a building of height [tex]h=19.6\ m[/tex]
time taken to reach ground is given by
[tex]\text{Cosidering vertical motion}\\\Rightarrow h=ut+0.5at^2\\\Rightarrow 19.6=0+0.5\times 9.8t^2\\\Rightarrow t^2=4\\\Rightarrow t=2\ s[/tex]
(b) Line joining the point of projection and the point where it hits the ground makes an angle of [tex]45^{\circ}[/tex]
From the figure, it can be written
[tex]\Rightarrow \tan 45^{\circ}=\dfrac{h}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=h\cdot 1\\\Rightarrow x=19.6[/tex]
Considering horizontal motion
[tex]\Rightarrow x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow 19.6=u_x\times 4\\\Rightarrow u_x=4.9\ m/s[/tex]
(c) The vertical velocity with which it strikes the ground is given by
[tex]\Rightarrow v^2-u_y^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 19.6\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{384.16}\\\Rightarrow v=19.6\ m/s[/tex]
Thus, the ball strikes with a vertical velocity of [tex]19.6\ m/s[/tex]

Answers
6.07 m
Explanation:
Given:
[tex]v_0=24.5\:\text{m/s}[/tex]
[tex]\theta_0 = 35.5°[/tex]
First, we need to find the amount of time it takes to travel a horizontal distance of 25.8 m. We know that
[tex]x = v_{0x}t \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{x}{v_0 \cos \theta_0}[/tex]
or
[tex]t = 1.29\:\text{s}[/tex]
To find the vertical height where the ball hit the wall, we use

A football quarterback runs 15.0 m straight down the playing field in 3.00 s. He is then hit and pushed 3.00 m straight backward in 1.71 s. He breaks the tackle and runs straight forward another 24.0 m in 5.20 s. Calculate his average velocity (in m/s) for the entire motion. (Assume the quarterback's initial direction is positive. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
Answers
Answer:
Average Velocity = 3.63 m/s
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the total displacement of the quarterback, taking forward direction as positive:
Total Displacement = 15 m - 3 m + 24 m = 36 m
Now, we will calculate the total time taken for this displacement:
Total Time = 3 s + 1.71 s + 5.2 s = 9.91 s
Therefore, the average velocity will be:
[tex]Average\ Velocity = \frac{Total\ Displacement}{Total\ Time}\\\\Average\ Velocity = \frac{36\ m}{9.91\ s}[/tex]
Average Velocity = 3.63 m/s

(b) If the ladder is just on the verge of slipping when the firefighter is 9.00 m from the bottom, what is the coefficient of static friction between ladder and ground
Answers
Answer:
a) fr = 266.92 N, fy = 1300 N, b) μ = 0.36
Explanation:
a) This is a balancing act.
Let's write the rotational equilibrium relations, where the turning point is the bottom of the ladder and the counterclockwise rotations are positive
-w x - W x₂ + R y = 0 (1)
usemso trigonometry to find distances
cos 60.08 = x / 7.5
x = 7.5 cos 60.08
x = 3.74 m
fireman
cos 60.08 = x₂ / 4
x2 = 4 cos 60
x2 = 2 m
wall support
sin 60.08 = y / 15
y = 15 are 60.08
y = 13 m
we substitute in equation 1
R y = w x + W x2
R = (w x + W x2) / y
R = (500 3.74 +800 2) / 13
R = 266.92 N
now let's write the expressions for the translational equilibrium
X axis
R -fr = 0
R = fr
fr = 266.92 N
Y Axis
Fy - w-W = 0
fy = 500 + 800
fy = 1300 N
b) ask the friction coefficient
the firefighter's distance is
cos 60.08 = x₃ / 9.00
x₃ = 9 cos 60
x₃ = 5.28 m
from equation 1
R = (w x + W x₃) / y
R = 500 3.74 + 800 5.28) / 13
R = 468.769 N
we saw that
fr = R = 468.769
The expression for the friction force is
fr = μ N
in this case the normal is the ratio to pesos
N = Fy
N = 1300 N
μ N = fr
μ = fr / N
μ = 468,769 / 1300
μ = 0.36
four equal magnitude point charges 3 microcoulomb is placed at the corners of a square that is 40cm inside find the force on any one of the charges
Answers
Answer:
Approximately [tex]0.97\; \rm N[/tex]. This force would point away from the center of the square (to the left at [tex]45^\circ[/tex] above the horizontal direction.)
Explanation:
Coulomb's constant: [tex]k \approx 8.98755 \times 10^{-9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2}[/tex].
By Coulomb's Law, the electrostatic force between two point charges [tex]q_1[/tex] and [tex]q_2[/tex] that are separated by [tex]r[/tex] (vacuum) would be:
[tex]\displaystyle F = \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2}[/tex].
Consider the charge on the top-left corner of this square.
Apply Coulomb's Law to find the electrostatic force between this charge and the charge on the lower-left corner.
Convert quantities to standard units:
[tex]q_1 = q_2 = 3 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C[/tex].
[tex]r = 0.40\; \rm m[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2} \\ &\approx \frac{8.98755 \times 10^{-9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \times (3 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C)^{2}}{(0.40\; \rm m)^{2}} \\ &\approx 0.506\; \rm N\end{aligned}[/tex].
As the two charges are of the same sign, the electrostatic force on each charge would point away from the other charge. Hence, for the charge on the top-left corner of the square, the electrostatic force from the charge below it would point upwards.
Similarly, the charge to the right of this charge would exert an electrostatic force with the same magnitude (approximately [tex]0.506\; \rm N[/tex]) that points leftwards.
For the charge to the lower-right of the top-left charge, [tex]r = \sqrt{2} \times 0.40\; \rm m[/tex]. Therefore:
[tex]\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^2} \\ &\approx \frac{8.98755 \times 10^{-9}\; \rm N \cdot m^{2} \cdot C^{-2} \times (3 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C)^{2}}{(\sqrt{2} \times 0.40\; \rm m)^{2}} \\ &\approx 0.253 \; \rm N\end{aligned}[/tex].
This force would point to the top-left of the top-left charge, which is [tex]45^\circ[/tex] above the horizontal direction. Decompose this force into two components that are normal to one another:
Horizontal component: approximately [tex]\sin(45^\circ) \times 0.253\; \rm N \approx 0.179\; \rm N[/tex].Vertical component: approximately [tex]\cos(45^\circ) \times 0.253\; \rm N \approx 0.179\; \rm N[/tex]Consider the net force on the top-left charge in two components:
Horizontal component: approximately [tex]0.506\; \rm N[/tex] from the charge on the top-right corner and approximately [tex]0.179\; \rm N[/tex] from the charge on the lower-right corner. Both components point to the left-hand side. [tex]F_x \approx 0.506\; \rm N + 0.179\; \rm N = 0.685\;\rm N[/tex] (to the left).Vertical component: approximately [tex]0.506\; \rm N[/tex] from the charge on the lower-left corner and approximately [tex]0.179\; \rm N[/tex] from the charge on the lower-right corner. Both components point upwards. [tex]F_y \approx 0.506\; \rm N + 0.179\; \rm N = 0.685\;\rm N[/tex] (upward).Combine these two components to find the magnitude of the net force on this charge:
[tex]\begin{aligned}F &= \sqrt{{F_x}^{2} + {F_y}^{2}} \\ &\approx \sqrt{0.685^2 + 0.685^2 }\; \rm N \\ &\approx 0.97\; \rm N\end{aligned}[/tex].
This force would point to the top-left of this charge (also at [tex]45^\circ[/tex] above the horizontal direction, away from the center of the square) because its horizontal and vertical components have the same magnitude.
