Two very large parallel sheets a distance d apart have their centers directly opposite each other. The sheets carry equal but op

posite uniform surface charge densities. A point charge that is placed near the middle of the sheets a distance d/2 from each of them feels an electrical force F due to the sheets. If this charge is now moved closer to one of the sheets so that it is a distance d/4 from that sheet, what force will feel?
(A) F
(B) 4F
(C) 2F
(D) F/2
(E) F/4

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the Gauss law, electric field due to very large sheet of charge is as follows.

                    E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

where,     \sigma = charge per unit area

Since, it is given that there are two sheets of equal and opposite charge. Therefore, electric field between the plates will be as follows.

                  E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}} + \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

Also, we know that relation between force and electric field is as follows.

                       F = qE

Hence, force felt by the charge present inside the plates will be as follows.

                    F = q \times \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

This shows that force is not dependent on the distance and the charge is kept from one of the plate. Therefore, we can say that the force F felt by the charge is same when it is placed at a distance \frac{d}{2} and at a distance \frac{d}{4} from one of the plate.

Thus, we can conclude that the force we will feel is F.

El conductor de un tren que circula a 20 m/s ve un obstáculo en la vía y frena con una aceleración de 2 m/s2 hasta parar ¿cuánto
AlladinOne [14]
Velocidad inicial = 20 m/s
velocidad final = 0 m/s
aceleracion = -2 m/s^2

aceleracion = (cambio de velocidad)/(cambio de tiempo)
(cambio de tiempo)= (cambio de velocidad)/aceleracion
tiempo = (-20 m/s)/(-2 m/s^2)
= 10 segundos

x = (x(inicial)) + (v(inicial))(tiempo) + 1/2(aceleracion)(tiempo)^2
x(inicial) = 0
x = (20 m/s)(10 s) + 1/2 (-2m/s^2)(10 s)^2
x = 200 m - 100 m
x = 100 m (el espacio recorrido en los dos segundos)

Compare and contrast bio-mass and hydroelectricity as sources of energy.
Naya [18.7K]

Bio-mass and hydro-electricity both are renewable sources of energy.

Bio-mass is organic matter used as a fuel, especially in a power station for the generation of electricity. It is obtained from dead plants and animal wastes. Therefore, it is naturally refilled. It is the result of natural processes. Wood, gobar gas, etc. are some of the examples of bio-mass.

Hydro-electricity, on the other hand, is acquired from the potential energy stored in water at a height. Energy from it can be produced again and again. It is harnessed from water and obtained from mechanical processes.

A helicopter’s velocity increases from 35 m/s to 70 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the acceleration of this helicopter?
Alenkinab [10]
3.5 meters per second second is the acceleration because we know that acceleration is change in velocity over time and the change is velocity here is 35 and the time is 10 so we can simply divide 35 by 10 which is 3.5 m/s squared
