Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?

Physics

solong [7]3 years ago

-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.

according to newton's first law of motion what is the reason for a ball throwing up in the airfall back to earth
skelet666 [1.2K]
The force of earth's gravitational field is always directed downwards (towards the center of the earth. When the ball is thrown up, it is going against the earth's gravitational field and so, the earth's gravitational force pulls it back down, accelerating it downwards.

You move a 25 N object 5 meters. How much work did you do ?
olga55 [171]
The answer is 125 Joules

The first thing to take note of is the work equation: W=F×D

Since we already have our force and our distance that will help make this problem easier.

So, W=25*5

W=125

Therefore, our answer is 125 Joules since work is measured in joules

Hope this helped!! :)

A dog running to the right at 4 m/s sees a ball and accelerates steadily to catch it. The dog accelerates to the right at a rate
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

D.-4.798m/s

Explanation:

Greetings !

Given values

u= 4ms \\ a = 0.21ms {}^{2}  \\ t = 3.8sec

Solve for V of the given expression

Firstly, recall the velocity-time equation

v = u + at

plug in known values to the equation

v = (4) + (0.21)(3.8)

solve for final velocity

v = 4.792ms

Hope it helps!

What total mass must be converted into energy
Eduardwww [97]

This question apparently wants you to get comfortable
with  E = m c² .  But I must say, this question is a lame
way to do it.

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
                                                    E = m c²

                           1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule  =  (m) (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

Divide each side by (3 x 10⁸ m/s)²:

                         Mass = (1.03 x 10⁻¹³ joule) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                                   =  (1.03 / 9) x (10⁻¹³ ⁻ ¹⁶) (kg)

                                   =        1.144 x 10⁻³⁰  kg .    (choice-1)

This is roughly the mass of (1 and 1/4) electrons, so it seems
that it could never happen in nature.  The question is just an
exercise in arithmetic, and not a particularly interesting one.
______________________________________

Something like this could have been much more impressive:
 
The Braidwood Nuclear Power Generating Station in northeastern
Ilinois USA serves Chicago and northern Illinois with electricity.
<span>The station has two pressurized water reactors, which can generate
a net total of 2,242 megawatts at full capacity, making it the largest
nuclear plant in the state.
If the Braidwood plant were able to completely convert mass
to energy, how much mass would it need to convert in order
to provide the total electrical energy that it generates in a year,
operating at full capacity ?

Energy = (2,242 x 10⁶ joule/sec) x (86,400 sec/day) x (365 da/yr)

             =  (2,242 x 10⁶ x 86,400 x 365) joules

             =          7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules .

How much converted mass is that ?

                                           E  =  m c²

Divide each side by  c² :    Mass  =  E / c² .
c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

              Mass = (7.0704 x 10¹⁶ joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

                        =        0.786 kilogram ! ! !

THAT should impress us !  If I've done the arithmetic correctly,
then roughly  (1 pound  11.7 ounces) of mass, if completely
converted to energy, would provide all the energy generated
by the largest nuclear power plant in Illinois, operating at max
capacity for a year !

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.
