Answer:

a) An equation for the x-component of the electric field.

Eₓ = (-15xy³ + 5.32xy⁴z²) N/C

b) An equation for the y-component of the electric field.

Eᵧ = (-22.5x²y² + 10.64x²y³z²) N/C

c) An equation for the z-component of the electric field.

Ez = (5.32x²y⁴z) N/C

d) At (-5.0, 2.0, 1.5) m, the electric field is given as

E = (-357.6î + 2,538ĵ + 3,192ķ) N/C

Magnitude of the electric field = 4,093.7 N/C

Explanation:

The electric field is given by the negative of the gradient of the electric potential,

E = −grad V

E = - ∇V

The electric potential is given as

V(x,y,z) = 3αx²y³ - 2γx²y⁴z²

α = 2.5 V/m⁵ and γ = 1.33 V/m⁸

V(x,y,z) = 7.5x²y³ - 2.66x²y⁴z²

grad = ∇ = (∂/∂x)î + (∂/∂y)ĵ + (∂/∂z)ķ

E = -grad V = -∇V

= -[(∂V/∂x)î + (∂V/∂y)ĵ + (∂V/∂z)ķ

E = -(∂V/∂x)î - (∂V/∂y)ĵ - (∂V/∂z)ķ

E = Eₓî + Eᵧĵ + Ez ķ

a) An equation for the x-component of the electric field.

Eₓ = -(∂V/∂x) = -(∂/∂x)(V)

= -(∂/∂x)(7.5x²y³ - 2.66x²y⁴z²)

= -(15xy³ - 5.32xy⁴z²)

= (-15xy³ + 5.32xy⁴z²)

b) An equation for the y-component of the electric field.

Eᵧ = -(∂V/∂y) = -(∂/∂x)(V)

= -(∂/∂y)(7.5x²y³ - 2.66x²y⁴z²)

= -(22.5x²y² - 10.64x²y³z²)

= (-22.5x²y² + 10.64x²y³z²)

c) An equation for the z-component of the electric field.

Ez = -(∂V/∂z) = -(∂/∂x)(V)

= -(∂/∂z)(7.5x²y³ - 2.66x²y⁴z²)

= -(0 - 5.32x²y⁴z)

= (5.32x²y⁴z)

d) E = Eₓî + Eᵧĵ + Ez ķ

E = (-15xy³ + 5.32xy⁴z²)î + (-22.5x²y² + 10.64x²y³z²)ĵ + (5.32x²y⁴z) ķ

At (-5.0, 2.0, 1.5) m

x = -5 m

y = 2 m

z = 1.5 m

Eₓ = (-15xy³ + 5.32xy⁴z²)

= (-15×-5×2³) + (5.32×-5×2⁴×1.5²)

= 600 - 957.6 = -357.6

Eᵧ = (-22.5x²y² + 10.64x²y³z²)

= (-22.5×(-5)²×2²) + (10.64×(-5)²×2³×1.5²)

= -2250 + 4788 = 2538

Ez = (5.32x²y⁴z) = (5.32×(-5)²×2⁴×1.5)

= 3192

E = -357.6î + 2,538ĵ + 3,192ķ

Magnitude = /E/ = √[(-357.6)² + 2538² + 3192²]

= 4,093.6763135353 = 4,093.7 N/C

Hope this Helps!!!!

Which terrestrial planet exhibits retrograde rotation?.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Planets that are farther from the sun than the earth (all but Mercury and Venus) will exhibit retrograde motion.

If the position of the planet is observed relative to the background stars, the planet will appear to move backward relative to the stars when the earth is moving in an Eastward direction faster than the planet, and the planet appears to move backwards relative to the stars

(The planet will be on the side of the earth that is opposite that of the sun)

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass 1.67×10^(−27)kg, charge +e=+1.60×10^(−19)C) is fired directly at a target nucleu

Arte-miy333 [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

In a nuclear physics experiment, a proton (mass $1.67 \times 10^(-27)$ kg, charge +e = $+1.60 \times 10^(-19)$ C) is fired directly at a target nucleus of unknown charge. (You can treat both objects as point charges, and assume that the nucleus remains at rest.) When it is far from its target, the proton has speed $2.50 \times 10^6$ m/s. The proton comes momentarily to rest at a distance $5.31 \times 10^(-13)$ m from the center of the target nucleus, then flies back in the direction from which it came. What is the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus when they are $5.31 \times 10^{-13}$ m apart?

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of proton = $1.67 \times 10^{-27}$ kg

Charge of proton = $1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

Speed of proton = $2.50 \times 10^{6} m/s$

Distance traveled = $5.31 \times 10^{-13} m$

We will calculate the electric potential energy of the proton and the nucleus by conservation of energy as follows.

$(K.E + P.E)_{initial}$ = $(K.E + P.E)_{final}$

$(\frac{1}{2} m_{p}v^{2}_{p}) = (\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} + 0)$

where, $\frac{kq_{p}q_{t}}{r} = U = Electric potential energy$

U = $(\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})$

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

U = $(\frac{1}{2}m_{p}v^{2}_{p})$

= $(\frac{1}{2} \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times (2.5 \times 10^{6})^{2})$

= $5.218 \times 10^{-15} J$

Therefore, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the proton and nucleus is $5.218 \times 10^{-15} J$ .
