A constant electric field E = 100 N/C pointing along the positivex-axis is present throughout a region of space that includes theplane bounded by the x and y axes and the lines x = 30 cm and y =50 cm. The electric flux at the plane’s surface, in N/C, is

1. 0
2. 0.25
3. 25
4. 50

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied. true or false

Zeros that follow non-zeros numbers and are also to the right of a decimal point are significant

Comedians like to joke that the reason we haven’t been visited by intelligent life from elsewhere in the universe is that aliens have been monitoring earth’s broadcasts of intellectually embarrassing tv programs, like gilligan’s island, fear factor, the jersey shore, and the jerry springer showand so consider us far too primitive to merit a visit. let’s check the assertion that aliens could have been receiving them. tv programs are broadcast at a frequency of about 100mhz with about 100kw of total power in 30frames per second, which emanatesroughly uniformly in all directions. assume that interstellar space transmits these broadcasts without attenuation. no matter how smart they are, aliens would require at least one photon per frame to interpret our signals. findthe number of photons per unit time per unit area reaching a receiver on a possible planet in the nearest star system, which is about 4 light-years away (a light-year is the distance light travels in a year). if aliens aimed a receiver or detector directly at earth, how big (in diameter) would it have to be to receive a photon per frame
