Four charges with equal magnitudes of 10.6 × 10-12 C are placed at the corners of a rectangle. The lengths of the sides of the r
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Figure a. E_net = 99.518 N/C

Figure b. E_net = 177.151 N / C

Explanation:

Given:

- Attachment for figures missing in the question.

- The dimensions for rectangle are = 7.79 x 3.99 cm

- All four charges have equal magnitude Q = 10.6*10^-12 C

Find:

Find the magnitude of the electric field at the center of the rectangle in Figures a and b.

Solution:

- The Electric field generated by an charged particle Q at a distance r is given by:

                                         E = k*Q / r^2

- Where, k is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 * 10^9

Part a)

- First we see that the charges +Q_1 and +Q_3 produce and electric field equal but opposite in nature. So the sum of Electric fields:

                                 E_1 + E_3 = 0

- For Charges -Q_2 and +Q_4, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_2. Hence, the net Electric Field at center of the rectangle can be given as:

                                  E_net = E_2 + E_4

                                  E_2 = E_4

                                  E_net = 2*E = 2*k*Q / r^2

- The distance r from each corner to mid-point of the rectangle is constant. It can be evaluated by Pythagoras Theorem as follows:

                                  r = sqrt ( (7.79/200)^2 + (3.99/200)^2 )

                                  r = sqrt ( 1.9151*10^-3 ) = 0.043762 m

- Plug the values in the E_net expression developed above:

                                  E_net = 2*(8.99*10^9)*(10.6*10^-12) / 1.9151*10^-3

                                 E_net = 99.518 N/C

Part b)

- Similarly for Figure b, for Charges -Q_2 and +Q_4, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_2. Also, Charges -Q_1 and +Q_3, they are equal in nature but act in the same direction towards the negative charge -Q_1. These Electric fields are equal in magnitude to what we calculated in part a).

- To find the vector sum of two Electric Fields E_1,3 and E_2,4 we see the horizontal components of each cancels each other out. While the vertical components E_1,3 and E_2,4 are equal in magnitude and direction.

Hence,

                                  E_net = 2*E_part(a)*cos(Q)

- Where, Q is the angle between resultant, vertical in direction, and each of the electric field. We can calculate Q using trigonometry as follows:

                                  Q = arctan ( 3.99 / 7.79 ) = 27.12 degrees.

- Now, compute the net electric field E_net:

                                  E_net = 2*(99.518)*cos(27.12)

                                  E_net = 177.151 N / C

When a 0.350-kg package is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The package is now di
AleksandrR [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

F=kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

k= \frac{F}{x}

k= \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}

k = 28.58N/m

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}

T = 0.685s

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s

A spherical snowball melts at a rate proportional to its surface area. (a) write a differential equation for its volume, v. (use
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate of change in volume is proportional to the surface area:

dV/dt = kA

Integrating:

V = kAt + C

At t=0, V = s, so:

s = kA(0) + C

C = s

Therefore:

V = kAt + s

A box is at rest on a ramp at an incline of 22°. The normal force on the box is 538 N.
fomenos

Answer: 580 N

Refer to attached figure.

The angle of inclination is 22 degrees

weight (gravitational force) acts downwards.

Normal force is a contact force which acts perpendicular to the point of contact.

The horizontal component (mg cos 22 ) balances the normal force and the vertical component balances the frictional force.

Gravitational force on an object = mg

The normal force N= mg cos 22

\Rightarrow mg =\frac{N}{cos22}=\frac{538 N}{0.927}=580 N
