Answer:

a=708.3m/s^2

Explanation:

The force experimented by a charge <em>q </em>in a uniform electric field <em>E</em><em> </em>is <em>F=qE</em>.

Newton's 2nd Law tells us that the relation between acceleration <em>a</em> a mass <em>m </em>experiments when a force <em>F </em>is applied to it is <em>F=ma</em>.

Combining these equations we have <em>am=qE</em>, and since we want the acceleration of the speck of dust, we substitute our values:

a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(10\times10^{-6}C)(850N/C)}{12\times10^{-6}Kg}=708.3m/s^2

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:8.75 s,

136.89 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity=70 mph\approx 31.29 m/s

velocity after 5 s is 30 mph\approx 13.41 m/s

Therefore acceleration during these 5 s

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{13.41-31.29}{5}=-3.576 m/s^2

therefore time required to stop

v=u+at

here v=final velocity =0 m/s

initial velocity =31.29 m/s

0=31.29-3.576\times t

t=\frac{31.29}{3.576}=8.75 s

(b)total distance traveled before stoppage

v^2-u^2=2as

0^2-31.29^2=2\times (-3.576)\cdot s

s=136.89 m

A point charge is placed at each corner of square with side leanth a. The charges all have same magnitude q. My question, What i
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

 E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

  E = k q / a²  1.914  ,      θ’= 135

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where we must add as vectors

        E_total = E₁₂ i ^ + E₁₄ j ^ + E₁₃

Let's look for the value of each term

On the x axis

       E₁₂ = k q / a²

On the y axis

       E₁₄ = k q / a²

For the charge in the opposite corner we look for the distance

        d = √ (a² + a²) = a √2

let's look for the field

      E₁₃ = k q / d²

      E₁₃ = k q / 2a²

let's use trigonometry to find the two components of this field

       cos 45 = E₁₃ₓ / E₁₃

       E₁₃ₓ = E₁₃ cos 45

       

       sin 45 = E_{13y} / E₁₃

       E_{13y} = E₁₃ sin 45

       E₁₃ₓ = k q / 2a²  cos 45

       E_{13y} = k q / 2a²  sin 45

let's find each component of the electric field

X axis

      Eₓ = -E₁₂ - E₁₃ₓ

      Eₓ = - k q / a² - k q / 2a² cos 45

      Eₓ = - k q / a² (1 + cos 45/2)

      cos 45 = sin 45 = 0.707

      Eₓ = - k q / a²   (1 + 0.707 / 2)

      Eₓ = - k q / a²    (1.3535)

Y axis  

      E_y = E₁₄ + E_{13y}

       E_y = k q / a² + k q / 2a²     sin 45

       E_y = k q / a² (1 + sin 45/2)

       E_y = k q / a²       (1.3535)

we can give the results in two ways

       E = k q / a²   (1.3535) (- i ^ + j ^)

In modulus and angle form, let's use Pythagoras' theorem for the angle

       E = √ (Eₓ² + E_y²)

        E = k q / a²    1.3535 √2

        E = k q / a²     1.914

we use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = E_y / Eₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹  (E_y / Eₓ)

         θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / -1)

         θ = 45

in the third quadrant, if we measure the angle of the positive side of the x-axis

           θ‘= 90 + 45

           θ’= 135
