An electron (q=-1.602×10-19C) is placed .03m away from spherical object with a net charge of -7.2 C.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

electric field at the location of electron

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .03²

= 72 x 10¹² N/C

force on electron = electric field x charge on electron

= 72 x 10¹² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 115.2 x 10⁻⁷ N .

C )

work done = charge on electron x potential difference at two points

potential at .03 m

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .03

= 2.16 x 10¹² V

potential at .001 m

= 9 x 10⁹ x 7.2 / .001

= 64.8 x 10¹² V

potential difference = (64.8 - 2.16 )x 10¹² V

= 62.64 x 10¹² V  .

work done = 62.64 x 10¹² x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 100.224 x 10⁻⁷ J .

D )

There will be no change in the magnitude of force on positron except that the direction of force will be reversed . In case of electron , there will be repulsion and in case of positron , there will be attraction .

Work done in case of electron will be positive and work done in case of positron will be negative .

electric field due to charge will be same in both the cases .

When a parachutist jumps from an airplane, he eventually reaches a constant speed, called the terminal speed. Once he has reache
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

What symbol represents energy that moves from a hot object to a cooler object?
strojnjashka [21]
The correct answer is 
<span>C) Q

In fact, the symbol Q represents the heat, which is the form of energy transferred from a hot object to a cooler object. Heat generally refers to the energy related to the motion of the particles, and it is related to the temperature of an object: the higher the temperature of an object, the faster the particles of the object move, and so the object can transfer more energy (as heat) to other objects with lower temperature.</span>

"how do the fundamental laws of physics make manifest that space has 3 dimensions?"
bazaltina [42]
If you are asking for a proof on having at least 3 dimensions in space, you can find the physical proof anywhere in your daily life activities. Just the fact that solids have volumes is a proof already that we live in a three-dimensional space. We can move forwards, backwards, sidewards and in all other directions possible.

When you go right into detail, the fundamental laws governing these proofs are very technical. They have differential equations to show as proof. It is too detailed to discuss here. The important things is that, these fundamental laws are what explains the science in our basic activities and natural phenomena:

*Gravitation and planetary motion
* Translation, rotation, magnetic field, forces
* Integrals of equations:
