2. A small piece of dust is located in between two oppositely charged parallel plates where there exists a uniform electric fiel
Alla [95]

Answer:

a

The total charge is q = 1.6*10^{-4}C

b

The change in potential energy is \Delta U = -4*10^{-2}J

c

The height is  h= 8.2cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that the

       The magnitude of electric field is E = 5000N/C

        The number of proton is  N_p = 1*10^{15}

        The distance between the plates is  d = 5cm = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05m

The total charge can be mathematically represented as

            q = N_p * e

Where e is the charge on one proton which has a value of =1.6*10^{-19}C

      Substituting values

           q = 1 *10^{15} * 1.6*10^{-19} = 1.6 *10^{-4}C

The change in potential energy is mathematically represented ads

         \Delta U = -(qE)d

where the negative sign shows that the work done by the electric force is against the electric field

                Substituting values

         \Delta U = - 1.6*10^{-4} * 5000 * 0.05

                = -4*10^{-2}J

 

   The mass of the bead is given as 0.05kg

  The change in potential due to gravity is mathematically given as

                    \Delta U = -mgh

the negative sign is  due to the fact that the height is decreasing

And g =9.8m/s^2

                  Making h the subject

        h = \frac{\Delta U}{mg}

Substituting values

                 h = \frac{4*10^{-2}}{0.05 * 9.8}

                   =0.081m = 0.082 *100 = 8.2cm

Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at
aliina [53]

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle.  Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater  than it was when he put the cap on.  If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>.  The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.
