Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. A proton is released from re
spayn [35]

The magnitude of the electric field can be calculated using the equation

E = \frac{F}{q}, where F is the Force acting on the proton and q is the charge of the proton.

We know that the charge of the proton is q = 1.6 x 10^{-19}  C

We have to calculate the Force first.

We know that F = ma from Newton's 2nd law, where m is the mass of the proton and a is the acceleration.

We know that the mass of the proton m = (1.67) X 10^{-27}  kg

So it turns out that we have to calculate acceleration before anything else.

In order to calculate the acceleration, we make use of the following data from the question:

Initial Velocity of the proton V_{i}  = 0

Distance traveled  D = 1.70 cm = 0.017 m

Time taken for the travel between the plates t = (1.48) X 10^{-6}  s

Acceleration a = ?

Using the equation, D = V_{i}t + \frac{1}{2} at^{2}, we get

Knowing that initial velocity is 0, the equation reduces to D = \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Rearranging the equation so as to make a the subject of the formula, we have

a = \frac{2D}{t^{2} }

Plugging in the numbers and simplifying gives us a = 1.5 x 10^{10}   m/s^{2}

We can now calculate the Force using F = ma

Plugging in the known values, we get F = 2.5 x 10^{-17}  N

Using this, we can calculate E through the equation E = \frac{F}{q}

Plugging the numbers and simplifying gets us E = 156.25 N/C

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field between the plates of the capacitor is 156.25 N/C


B) To calculate the Final Velocity of the proton, we can make use of the equation

V_{f}  = V_{i}  + at

Plugging the numbers in and simplifying gets us V_{f}  = (2.22)  *  10^{4}  m/s

A hollow conductor is positively charged. Asmall uncharged metal ball is lowered by a silk thread through asmall opening in the
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the property of a conductor, the entire charge will reside on the outer surface of the conductor, there is no charge on the inner side of the conductor. As the uncharged metal ball touches the inner surface of the conductor, it does not attain any charge as the inner side of the conductor has no charge.

So option (c) is correct.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

At some distance from the Earth the force of attraction due to moon is balanced by the force due to Moon

so we will have

\frac{GM_em}{r^2} = \frac{GM_m}{(d-r)^2}

now we have

\frac{d - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e}}

\frac{3.844\times 10^8 - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{7.36 \times 10^{22}}{5.9742\times 10^{24}}}

so we will have

r = 3.46 \times 10^8 m

Now by energy conservation

-\frac{GM_e}{R_e} - \frac{GM_m}{d - (R_e + R_m)} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -\frac{GM_e}{r} - \frac{GM_m}{d - r}

-6.26 \times 10^{8} - 13046 + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -1.15 \times 10^6 - 1.28 \times 10^5

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s
