A city bus accelerates away from a bus stop at the acceleration shown. At the next stop, a tourist boards the bus with 1,000-kg of recording equipment, and when the bus driver starts going again, he notices he has to press harder on the gas pedal to maintain the same acceleration.

Solar cell a produces 100 joules of energy, when a light source is shown on it for 3 minutes. solar cell b produces 200 joules of energy when the same light source is shown on it for 5 minutes. which solar cell works better? a) solar cell b, because it produces more energy. b) solar cell b, because it generates more power. c) solar cell a, because it produces energy quicker. d) solar cell a, because it generates a greater wattage. eliminate

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
