During an occultation, or "covering up," of Jupiter by the Moon, an astronomer notices that it takes the Moon’s edge 90 seconds to cover Jupiter’s disk completely (starting from the moment of initial "contact"). If the Moon’s motion is assumed to be uniform and the occultation was "central" (that is, center over center), find the angular diameter of Jupiter. Express your answer in arcseconds. [Hint: Assume that Jupiter does not appear to move against the background of stars during this brief 90-second interval. You will need to convert the Moon’s angular speed from degrees per day to arcseconds per second.]

The pressure increases by 1.0 x 104 n/m^2 for every meter of depth beneath the surface of the ocean. at what depth does the volume of a pyrex (bulk modulus 2.6 x 1010n/m^2) glass cube, 9.8 x 10^−2m on an edge at the ocean's surface, decrease by 7.5 x 10−10m^3? explain the formula beyond this point: p=1.0x10^4, b=2.6x10^10, l=9.8x10^−2, delta v=7.5x10^−10. at some point l needs to be cubed. why p is divided by delta v?

To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the conductor. a conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. the external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. the conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge. part a: which of the following describes the electric field inside this conductor? it is in the same direction as the original external field.it is in the opposite direction from that of the original external field.it has a direction determined entirely by the charge on its surface.it is always zero. part b: the charge density inside the conductor is: 0non-zero; but uniformnon-zero; non-uniforminfinite part c: assume that at some point just outside the surface of the conductor, the electric field has magnitude e and is directed toward the surface of the conductor. what is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point? express your answer in terms of e and ϵ0
