Answer:

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

Explanation:

The Electric field Intensity act due to plate = σ/ε₀, where σ is surface charge density of plate.

At equilibrium ,

Upward force = downward force

Tcosθ = mg ----(1)

Assuming that the Forward force = backward force, then

Tsinθ = σq/ε₀

[ ∵ F = qE , ∴ F = qσ/ε₀ ] -----(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1)

Tsinθ/Tcosθ = qσ/ε₀mg

⇒Tanθ = qσ/ε₀mg

σ = ε₀mg tanθ/q

Now substituting the values of

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 1 * tan 30) / 2*10^-8

σ = (8.85*10^-12 * 0.5774) / 2*10^-8

σ = 5.11*10^-12 / 2*10^-8

σ = 0.255*10^-3 C/m²

A 50 kg boy running with a velocity of 6 m/s passes by a 2000 kg truck at rest. Which one has greater momentum, the truck or the
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The boy has a greater momentum

Explanation:

The reason why the boy has a greater momentum is because the truck is at rest so it isn’t moving and momentum has to do with the quantity of motion

A coin is placed 29 cm from the center of a horizontal turntable, initially at rest. The turntable then begins to rotate. When t
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable is 0.51

Explanation:

at the time of the slip:

centripetal force = frictional force

mv^2/r = x*m*980

v^2/r = 980x

x = v^2/980r

  = [(120)^2]/[980*29]

  = 0.51

Therefore, The coefficient of static friction between the coin and the turntable is 0.51

andre [41]

Answer:

the frequency is the fundamental and distance is    L = ¼ λ

Explanation:

This problem is a phenomenon of resonance between the frequency of the tuning fork and the tube with one end open and the other end closed, in this case at the closed end you have a node and the open end a belly, so the wavelength is the basis is

          λ = 4 L

In this case L = 19.4 cm = 0.194 m

let's use the relationship between wave speed and wavelength frequency and

           v = λ f

where the frequency is f = 440 Hz

           v = 4 L f

let's calculate

           v = 4 0.194 440

           v = 341.44 m / s

so the frequency is the fundamental and distance is

                  L = ¼ λ
