A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along the rod. Calculate the potential at the center of curvature of the arc if the potential is assumed to be zero at infinity.

6–48 bananas are to be cooled from 24 to 138c at a rate of 215 kg/h by a refrigeration system. the power input to the refrigerator is 1.4 kw. determine the rate of cooling, in kj/ min, and the cop of the refrigerator. the specific heat of banana above freezing is 3.35 kj/kg·8c.

Which of the following is not a physical property of mattera. melting pointb. heat of combustionc. viscosityd. boiling point

People with normal vision cannot focus their eyes underwater if they aren't wearing a face mask or goggles and there is water in contact with their eyes. in a simplified model of the human eye, the aqueous and vitreous humors and the lens all have a refractive index of 1.40, and all the refraction occurs at the cornea, whose vertex is 2.60 cm from the retina. with the simplified model of the eye, what corrective lens (specified by focal length as measured in air) would be needed to enable a person underwater to focus an infinitely distant object? (be careful-the focal length of a lens underwater is not the same as in air! assume that the corrective lens has a refractive index of 1.62 and that the lens is used in eyeglasses, not goggles, so there is water on both sides of the lens. assume that the eyeglasses are 2.05cm in front of the eye.)
