Two infinite, uniformly charged, flat surfaces are mutually perpendicular. One of the sheets has a charge density of +60 pC/m2,

and the other carries a charge density of −80 pC/m2. What is the magnitude of the electric field at any point not on either surface?

Answer:

E = 5.65 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Charge density \sigma_1 = +60 pC/m^2

\sigma_2 = -80pC/m^2

charge density \sigma_1 creates the electric field E_x = \frac{\sigma_1}{x}

And A charge density \sigma_2 creates the electric field E_y = \frac{\sigma_1}{y}

The electric field at point (x,y) is

E = E_y + E_x

  =\frac{\sigma_2}{y} e_y + E_x = \frac{\sigma_1}{x}e_x

where e_y and e_x are vectors

After solving we get

E = \sqrt{(\frac{\sigma_1}{y})^2+(\frac{\sigma_1}{y})^2}

E = \sqrt{(\frac{60\TIMES 10^{-12}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}})^2+(\frac{80\times 10^{-12}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}})^2}

E = 5.65 N/C

Answer:

5.648 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

q₁ = 60 pC/m² = 60 × 10⁻¹² C/m²

q₂ = -80 pC/m² = - 80 × 10⁻¹² C/m²

Now,

Electric field is given as:

E = \frac{\textup{q}}{2\epsilon_0}

ε₀ = Permittivity of Free Space

thus, due to charge q₁

E₁ = \frac{60\times10^{-12}}{2\times8.85\times10^{-12}}

or

E₁ = 3.389 N/C

and, due to charge q₂

E₂ = \frac{-80\times10^{-12}}{2\times8.85\times10^{-12}}

or

E₂ = 4.519 N/C

Now,

The resultant electric field = \sqrt{E_1^2+E_2^2}

or

The resultant electric field = \sqrt{3.389^2+4.519^2}

or

The resultant electric field = \sqrt{11.485321+20.421361}

or

The resultant electric field = 5.648 N/C

ladessa [460]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s²

Explanation:

a = Δv/t

a = (vf - vi)/t

a = (9 - 0)/3

a = 3m/s²

You throw a ball downward from a window at a speed of 2.0m/s. How far has it fallen in 3 seconds?
bekas [8.4K]
Let's just assume that you throw the ball with an initial speed of 2 m/s instead of dropping it like free falling.
a=9.81 m/s^2
Vi= 2 m/s
t= 3 x

we use the formula
d = (Vi)(t) + (1/2)(a)(t)^2
d= (2)(3) + (1/2)(9.81)(9)
d=50.145 m

If you know the distance traveled and the time traveled, you can determine an object’s
lara31 [8.8K]
If I tell you that I traveled 30 miles in the last 2 hours, the only thing you can calculate is my average speed during those two hours. You can't tell anything about my acceleration or the direction in which I traveled.
