Three equal positive charges 'q' are at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 'a'.

Physics
1 answer:
NARA [144]2 years ago
5 0

(a) The location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

(b) The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is  1.732 kq/a².

<h3>Position where the electric field is zero</h3>

The electric field is zero at the center of the equilateral triangle whose magnitude is equal to √3a/6.

<h3>Electric field at top corner due to two charges at the base</h3>

E = E₁ + E₂

where;

  • E₁ is electric field at the left base corner
  • E₂ is electric field at the right base corner

E = kq/a²[(cos 60i + sin 60j) + (-cos 60i + sin 60j)]

E = kq/a²[2(sin 60j)] = 1.732 kq/a²

Thus, the location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is  1.732 kq/a².

What is the origin of the atomic emission spectrum of an element
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The electronic transition of an electron back to a lower energy level generates an emission spectrum.

Explanation:

The atomic emission spectrum¹ of an element has its origin when an electronic transition² occurs. An electron in an atom or ion³will absorb energy coming from a source and pass to a higher energy level, the electron, upon returning to its base state will emit a photon⁴ or a series of photons.

Hence, that leads to the formation of an emission spectrum.

Remember that an electron has energy levels in an atom or ion, at which each energy level has a specific value.

The energy values will differ from one element to another. So, it can be concluded that each element has a unique pattern of emission lines.

Key terms:        

¹Spectrum: Decomposition of light in its characteristic colors.

²Electronic transition: When an electron passes from one energy level to another, either for the emission or absorption of a photon.

³Ion: An atom electrically charged due to the gain or loss of electrons.

⁴Photon: Elementary particle that constitutes light.

A light horizontal spring has a spring constant of 167 N/m. A 2.77 kg block is pressed against one end of the spring, compressin
aalyn [17]

Answer:

μ = 0.189

Explanation:

The spring potential energy will convert to work of friction

    Fd = ½kx²

μmgd = ½kx²

       μ = kx²/2mgd

       μ = 167(0.132²) / (2(2.77)(9.81)(0.284))

       μ = 0.18852424...

You are in a tall building located near the equator. What happens to your tangential speed due to the earth's rotation as you ri
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:increases

Explanation:

If we are going upward in an elevator from the ground floor to the top floor then it indicates that your distance from the center of the earth is increasing while the time period remains the same.

If the radial distance is increased then the tangential velocity of the object must be increased because the time period is the same.

This can be best explained by taking an example of a car moving in a circle of radius r. If radial is increased for the same period then the car has to travel at a higher velocity to make in time.
