(a) the electric field generated by a single point charge is radial, and its direction is determined by the sign of the source charge. In particular, when the source charge is positive as in this example, the field lines are directed away from the charge (see attached figure).

(b) The electric field strength at distance r from the source charge is given by
E=k_e  \frac{Q}{r^2}
where ke is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the source charge. In our problem, the distance is r=2.00 cm=0.02 m, so the electric field at that point is
E=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2}) \frac{2.0 \cdot 10^{-5}C}{(0.02 m)^2}=4.5 \cdot 10^8 N/C

The force experienced by the test charge in this electric field is equal to
F=qE
where q=+5 \mu C=+5 \cdot 10^{-6}C is our test charge. Substituting, we find that the force is equal to
F=qE=(5\cdot 10^{-6}C)(4.5 \cdot 10^8 N/C)=2250 N

(c) The electric potential at a distance r from the source (positive) charge is given by
V=k_e  \frac{Q}{r}
and the electric potential energy of a test charge q at distance r from the source charge is
U=qV=k_e  \frac{qQ}{r}
We can see that when the test charge q is moved closer to the source Q, the distance r decreases, and so the potential energy U of the charge increases. So, the change in potential energy is positive.

Travka [436]

Answer: 361° C

Explanation:

Given

Initial pressure of the gas, P1 = 294 kPa

Final pressure of the gas, P2 = 500 kPa

Initial temperature of the gas, T1 = 100° C = 100 + 273 K = 373 K

Final temperature of the gas, T2 = ?

Let us assume that the gas is an ideal gas, then we use the equation below to solve

T2/T1 = P2/P1

T2 = T1 * (P2/P1)

T2 = (100 + 273) * (500 / 294)

T2 = 373 * (500 / 294)

T2 = 373 * 1.7

T2 = 634 K

T2 = 634 K - 273 K = 361° C

barxatty [35]

Answer:

In two significant figure 360K

Explanation:

The temperature difference (ΔT) can be calculated as the boiling temperature minus the freezing temperature in Fahrenheit.

Hence,

ΔT = 212 - 32

ΔT = 180°F

To convert to °F to kelvin, we use the formula below

= (°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= (180°F - 32) × 5/9 + 273.15

= 355.37K ⇔ 360K

A 110 kg quarterback is running the ball downfield at 4.5 m/s in the positive direction when he is tackled head-on by a 150 kg l
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

v_f=-0.29\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The principle of conservation of momentum, states that if the sum of the forces acting on a system is null, the initial total momentum of the system before a collision equals the final total momentum of the system after the collision. The collision is completely inelastic, which means that the players remain stick to each other after the collision:

p_i=p_f\\m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f\\v_f=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\v_f=\frac{(110kg)4.5\frac{m}{s}+150kg(-3.8\frac{m}{s})}{(110kg+150kg)}\\v_f=-0.29\frac{m}{s}
