Answer:

q = 8.47×10⁻⁷ C.

Explanation:

From Coulomb's,

V = kq/r..................... Equation 1

Where, V = Electric potential, q = charge, r = distance, k = proportionality constant.

Make q the subject of the equation

q = Vr/k..................... Equation 2

Given: V = 5.15×10² V, r = 14.8 m

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 2

q = 5.15×10²×14.8/9.0×10⁹

q = 8.47×10⁻⁷ C.

Given a 45 45 90 prism with index of 1.5, immersed in air. The hypotenuse acts as the reflecting face by TIR. A ray of light ent
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

83.6°

Explanation:

For the ray to be totally internally reflected, at the boundary, the angle of refraction is 90. Using the law of refraction where

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂ where n₁ = refractive index of prism = 1.5, θ₁ = critical angle in prism, n₂ = refractive index of air = 1 and θ₂ = refractive angle = 90°.

So, substituting these values into the equation,

n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

1.5 × sinθ₁ = 1 × sin90

1.5 × sinθ₁  = 1

sinθ₁ = 1/1.5

sinθ₁ = 0.6667

θ₁  = sin*(0.6667)

θ₁  = 41.8°

So, for total internal reflection, an incidence angle of 41.8° is required. So, a full convergence angle of 2 × 41.8° = 83.6° is required for the whole bundle of rays.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Water is a slow conductor of heat. Land absorbs heat quicker, so the sand next to the lake will heat up quicker than water.

An electric field of 710,000 N/C points due west at a certain spot. What is the magnitude of the force that acts on a charge of
Anni [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of force is 4.26\times 10^{- 6} N

Solution:

As per the question:

The strength of Electric field due west at a certain point, \vec{E_{w}} = 710,000 N/C

Charge, Q = - 6 C

Now, the force acting on the charge Q in the electric field is given by:

\vec{F} = Q\vec{E_{w}}

\vec{F} = -6\times 710,000 = - 4.26\times 10^{- 6} N

Here, the negative sign indicates that the force acting is opposite in direction.
