Charge is distributed uniformly on the surface of a large flat plate. the electric field 2 cm from the plate is 30 n/c. the elec
AysviL [449]
The electric field produced by a large flat plate with uniform charge density on its surface can be found by using Gauss law, and it is equal to
E= \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}
where
\sigma is the charge density
\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

We see that the intensity of the electric field does not depend on the distance from the plate. Therefore, the strenght of the electric field at 4 cm from the plate is equal to the strength of the electric field at 2 cm from the plate:
E=30 N/C

Why is an object's density expressed as a combination of two units
miss Akunina [59]
Well, first of all, EVERY physical quantity is measured in a combination
of 2 or more units, except for mass, length, time, and electric charge. 
ALL other units are made out of these.  So it should not surprise you.

[  Example:  Speed  =  (length) / (time)  ]

Density is not the mass of a substance.  It's the mass of a substance in
a standard volume of it.  So the density is made of the mass in any lump
and the volume of that lump.  That way, no matter how much of a substance
you have, you can always compare the lump you have to all other substances.

An electron is released from rest at the negative plate of a parallel plate capacitor. The charge per unit area on each plate is
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

v = 1.15*10^{7} m/s

Explanation:

given data:

charge/ unit area= \sigma = 1.99*10^{-7} C/m^2

plate seperation = 1.69*10^{-2} m

we know that

electric field btwn the plates isE = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}

force acting on charge is F = q E

Work done by charge q id\Delta X =\frac{ q\sigma \Delta x}{\epsilon}

this work done is converted into kinectic enerrgy

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 =\frac{ q\sigma \Delta x}{\epsilon}

solving for v

v = \sqrt{\frac{2q\Delta x}{\epsilon m}

\epsilon = 8.85*10^{-12} Nm2/C2

v = \sqrt{\frac{2 1.6*10^{-19}1.99*10^{-7}*1.69*10^{-2}}{8.85*10^{-12} *9.1*10^{-31}}

v = 1.15*10^{7} m/s

the net force on a vehicle is accelerating at a rate of 1.5 milliseconds is 1800 Newtons. What is the mass of the vehicles neare
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The mass is 1200 kilograms

Explanation:

Because Force is equal to mass times acceleration (F=m×a)

F=m×a

1800N=?×1.5

1800÷1.5=1200

1800N=1200Kg×1.5

A baseball is launched horizontally from a height of 1.8 m. The baseball travels 0.5 m before hitting the ground. How fast is th
zysi [14]

Answer:

0.83 m/s

Explanation:

FIrst of all, we have to find the time of flight, i.e. the time the baseball needs to reach the ground. This can be done by using the equation for the vertical motion:

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

h is the initial height

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting h = 1.8 m and solving for t,

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(1.8)}{9.8}}=0.61 s

We know that the horizontal distance travelled by the ball is

d = 0.5 m

Therefore, we can find the horizontal velocity (which is constant during the whole motion):

v= \frac{d}{t}=\frac{0.5}{0.60}=0.83 m/s
