Answer:
Just above the pole (top-most red circle)
Explanation:
Polaris is used to identify North direction. Since, the Earth rotates on its axis which is along North-south, Polaris never seems to rise and set from the Northern hemisphere. This is because Polaris lies above north pole. Thus, in the given diagram, Polaris is above the North pole on the axis represented by top-most red circle.
Answer:
Tension in Cord=174 N
Explanation:
Given Data
L (Phone Cord Length)=4.89 m
m (Cord Mass)=0.212 Kg
T (Time for four trips)=0.617 s
Tension=?
Solution
V=λ×f
(a) 5.69 N/C, vertically downward
We can calculate the acceleration of the electron by using the SUVAT equation:
where
d = 4.50 m is the distance travelled by the electron
u = 0 is the initial velocity of the electron
is the time of travelling
a is the acceleration
Solving for a,
Given the mass of the electron,
We can find the electric force acting on the electron:
And the electric force can be written as
where
is the charge of the electron
E is the magnitude of the electric field
Solving for E,
The negative sign means that the direction of the electric field is opposite to the direction of the force (because the charge is negative): since the force has same direction of the acceleration (vertically upward), the electric field must point vertically downward.
(b) Yes
We can answer the question by calculating the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the electron, to check if it is relevant or not. The gravitational force on the electron is:
where
is the mass of the electron
is the acceleration due to gravity
Substituting,
We see that the gravitational force is basically negligible compared to the electric force calculated in part (a), therefore we can say it is justified to ignore the effect of gravity in the problem.
