A particle has a charge of +1.5 µC and moves from point A to point B, a distance of 0.15 m. The particle experiences a constant

electric force, and its motion is along the line of action of the force. The difference between the particle's electric potential energy at A and B is EPEA - EPEB = +9.0 10-4 J.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric force that acts on the particle. _______N the direction of motion (along, against, perpendicular)
(b) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field that the particle experiences. _______N/C the direction of motion (along, against, perpendicular)

Answer:

Part a)

F = 6 \times 10^{-3} N

Direction of force is along the motion of charge

Part b)

E = 4000 N/C

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the change in electric potential energy is equal to the work done by electric field

W = EPE_A - EPE_B

W = 9.0 \times 10^{-4} J

now from the equation of work done we know that

W = F.d

(9.0 \times 10^{-4}) = F(0.15)

F = 6 \times 10^{-3} N

Direction of force is along the motion of charge

Part b)

As we know the relation between electrostatic force and electric field given as

F = qE

(6 \times 10^{-3}) = 1.5 \times 10^{-6} E

E = 4000 N/C

direction of electric field is along the direction of motion

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

A current of 0.92 a flows in a wire. how many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second? the charge on one ele
Fantom [35]
The current is defined as the ratio between the charge Q flowing through a certain point of a wire and the time interval, \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
First we need to find the net charge flowing at a certain point of the wire in one second, \Delta t=1.0 s. Using I=0.92 A and re-arranging the previous equation, we find
Q=I \Delta t= (0.92 A)(1.0 s)=0.92 C

Now we know that each electron carries a charge of e=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C, so if we divide the charge Q flowing in the wire by the charge of one electron, we find the number of electron flowing in one second:
N= \frac{Q}{q} = \frac{0.92 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=5.75 \cdot 10^{18}

Kim throws a beach ball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 0.50s later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the bea
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is <u>4.9 m/s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by the ball to reach maximum height is, t=0.50\ s

We know that, velocity of an object at the highest point is always zero. So, final velocity of the ball is, v=0\ m/s

Also, acceleration acting on the ball is always due to gravity. So, acceleration of the ball is, a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2

The negative sign is used as acceleration is a vector and it acts in the downward direction.

Now, we have the equation of motion relating initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration and time given as:

v=u+at

Where, 'u' is the initial velocity.

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

0=u-9.8(0.5)\\u=9.8\times 0.5\\u=4.9\ m/s

Therefore, the beach ball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air is 4.9 m/s
