Matt forgot to put the fabric softener in the wash. As his socks tumbled in the dryer, they became charged. If a small piece of

lint with a charge of +1.25 E -19 C is attracted to the socks by a force of 3.0 E -9 N, what is the magnitude of the electric field at this location?

Answer:

E = 2.4 \times 10^{10} N/C

Explanation:

As we know that electric field is defined as the force experienced by a unit charge placed in external electric field.

now we know that

q = 1.25 \times 10^{-19} C

F = 3.0 \times 10^{-9} N

now we know that force is related to electric field intensity as per the following relation

F = qE

3 \times 10^{-9} = 1.25 \times 10^{-19} E

E = \frac{3 \times 10^{-9}}{1.25 \times 10^{-19}}

E = 2.4 \times 10^{10} N/C

I can't remember how to solve this kind of problem.
So, in desperation, I take a hard look at the units.

I do remember that electric field is measured in volts per meter,
and 1 volt/meter means 1 newton/coulomb.  And there it is !
The problem has a quantity of [newtons] and a quantity of [coulombs]
in it.  If I divide those, the quotient will be [newton/coulomb], and THAT's
electric field strength !

                 (3.0 x 10⁻⁹ N) / (1.25 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)
 
             =        2.4 x 10¹⁰  N / C

             =        2.4 x 10¹⁰  volts/meter .

How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 99.4 MHz?
raketka [301]

Answer:

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Explanation:

We have given the frequency of the broadcast f=99.4MHz=99.4\times 10^4Hz

The speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

The distance of the antenna to receive a minimum signal from the station is given by d=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{99.4\times 10^6}=3.018m

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

A small box is held in place against a rough vertical wall by someone pushing on it with a force directed upward at 27 ∘ above t
ycow [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Applied force, F = 18 N

Coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.4

Coefficient of kinetic friction, μs = 0.3

θ = 27°

Let N be the normal reaction of the wall acting on the block and m be the mass of block.

Resolve the components of force F.

As the block is in the horizontal equilibrium, so

F Cos 27° = N

N = 18 Cos 27° = 16.04 N

As the block does not slide so it means that the syatic friction force acting on the block balances the downwards forces acting on the block .

The force of static friction is μs x N = 0.4 x 16.04 = 6.42 N   .... (1)

The vertically downward force acting on the block is mg - F Sin 27°

                                                      = mg - 18 Sin 27° = mg - 8.172    ... (2)

Now by equating the forces from equation (1) and (2), we get

mg - 8.172 = 6.42

mg = 14.592

m x 9.8 = 14.592

m = 1.49 kg

Thus, the mass of block is 1.5 kg.
