The cockroach Periplaneta americana can detect a static electric field of magnitude 8.50 kN/C using their long antennae. If the

excess static charge on a cockroach is modeled as point charges located at the end of each antenna, what magnitude of charge q would each antenna possess in order for each antennae to experience a force of magnitude 2.00 μN from the external electric field? Calculate q in units of nanocoulombs (nC) .

Answer:

0.235 nC

Explanation:

Given:

  • E = the magnitude of electric field = 8.50\ kN/C =8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C
  • F = the magnitude of electric force on each antenna = 2.00\ \mu N =2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N
  • q = The magnitude of charge on each antenna

Since the electric field is the electric force applied on a charged body of unit charge.

\therefore E = \dfrac{F}{q}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{F}{E}\\\Rightarrow q =\dfrac{2.00\times 10^{-6}\ N}{8.50\times 10^{3}\ N/C}\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\times 10^{-9}\ C\\\Rightarrow q =0.235\ nC

Hence, the value of q is 0.235 nC.

A ball has a diameter of 3.79 cm and average density of 0.0838 g/cm3.
suter [353]

Answer: 0.258 N

Explanation:

As the density of the object is much less than the density of water, it’s clear that the buoyant force, is greater than the weight of the object, which means that in normal conditions, it would float in water.

So, in order to get the ball submerged in water, we need to add a downward force, that add to the weight, in order to compensate the buoyant force, as follows:

F = Fb – Fg

Fb= δH20* 4/3*π*(d/2)³  * g

Fg = δb* 4/3*π*(d/2)³ *g

F= (δH20- δb) * 4/3*π*(d/2)³*g

Replacing by the values of the densities, and the ball diameter, we finally get:

F= 0.258 N

When an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is curving. Please select the best answer from the
olga2289 [7]

The statement “When an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.

Why does a third class lever cannot magnify force?​
maw [93]

Explanation:

The third class lever cannot magnify our force because in third class lever the effort it between the load and the fulcrum. Also, in this type of lever no matter where the force is applied, it is always greater than the force of load. Hence, That type of lever cannot magnify our force.
