A +12 Î¼C charge and -8 Î¼C charge are 4 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the E-field at the point midway between t

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge of first Particle $q_1=+12\ \mu C$

Charge of second Particle $q_2=-8\ \mu C$

distance between them $d=4\ cm$

$k=9\times 10^{9}$

magnetic field due to first charge at mid-way between two charged particles is

$E_1=\frac{kq_1}{r^2}$

$r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ cm$

$E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 12\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$E_1=27\times 10^7\ N/C$ (away from it)

Electric field due to $q_2=-8\ \mu C$

$E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}$

$E_2=-\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}$

$E_2=-18\times 10^7\ N/C$ (towards it)

$E_{net}=E_1+E_2$

$E_{net}=9\times 10^7\ N/C$ (away from first charge)

A 6.0 kg mass is placed on a 20º incline which has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. What is the acceleration of the mass down

Leona [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:

F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).

We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:

$wsin\theta-\mu F_n=ma$ That's everything we need.

w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:

6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and

2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and

11 = 6.0a so

a = 1.8 m/s/s

All of the following show friction as a useful force, except _____.

prohojiy [21]

Answer: having to push a rough and heavy box across the floor to move it

Explanation:

The Friction force is any force that is in opposite direction of the motion of an object or fluid due to the contact of this object or fluid with other bodies.

In this sense, there are different types of friction force thath are useful in different situations:

-The <u>Static friction force</u> prevents surfaces from slipping across each other. For example, the friction between your feet and the floor keeping you from slipping.

-The <u>kinetic friction force</u> as the force that helps the tires in a moving vehicle to slow down and stop when necessary.

However, if you want to push a heavy box across the floor to move it, the friction force will not be useful at all.

Wood has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy when burned in a fireplace. Which best explai

Marianna [84]

Answer:In the case of burning wood, stored potential energy (in the form of chemical energy) in the log is released due to heating by other excited atoms. This chemical reaction is called combustion and requires oxygen. Combustion changes the potential chemical energy into kinetic energy in the form of heat.

In moving out of a dormitory at the end of the semester, a student does 1.82 x 104 J of work. In the process, his internal energ

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Work done, W = 1.82 x 10^4 J

(b) internal energy, U = - 4.07 x 10^4 J ( as it decreases)

Q = W + U

Q = 1.82 x 10^4 - 4.07 x 10^4

Q = - 2.25 x 10^4 J
