Two charged particles are located on the x axis. The first is a charge 1Q at x 5 2a. The second is an unknown charge located at

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Q_2 = +/- 295.75*Q

Explanation:

Given:

- The charge of the first particle Q_1 = +Q

- The second charge = Q_2

- The position of first charge x_1 = 2a

- The position of the second charge x_2 = 13a

- The net Electric Field produced at origin is E_net = 2kQ / a^2

Find:

Explain how many values are possible for the unknown charge and find the possible values.

Solution:

- The Electric Field due to a charge is given by:

E = k*Q / r^2

Where, k: Coulomb's Constant

Q: The charge of particle

r: The distance from source

- The Electric Field due to charge 1:

E_1 = k*Q_1 / r^2

E_1 = k*Q / (2*a)^2

E_1 = k*Q / 4*a^2

- The Electric Field due to charge 2:

E_2 = k*Q_2 / r^2

E_2 = k*Q_2 / (13*a)^2

E_2 = +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two possible values of charge Q_2 can either be + or -. The Net Electric Field can be given as:

E_net = E_1 + E_2

2kQ / a^2 = k*Q_1 / 4*a^2 +/- k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

- The two equations are as follows:

1: 2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 + k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

2Q = Q / 4 + Q_2 / 169

Q_2 = 295.75*Q

2: 2kQ / a^2 = k*Q / 4*a^2 - k*Q_2 / 169*a^2

2Q = Q / 4 - Q_2 / 169

Q_2 = -295.75*Q

- The two possible values corresponds to positive and negative charge Q_2.

Water is flowing in a pipe with a circular cross section but with varying cross-sectional area, and at all points the water comp

slamgirl [31]

(a) 5.66 m/s

The flow rate of the water in the pipe is given by

$Q=Av$

where

Q is the flow rate

A is the cross-sectional area of the pipe

v is the speed of the water

Here we have

$Q=1.20 m^3/s$

the radius of the pipe is

r = 0.260 m

So the cross-sectional area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.260 m)^2=0.212 m^2$

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the speed of the water:

$v=\frac{Q}{A}=\frac{1.20 m^3/s}{0.212 m^2}=5.66 m/s$

(b) 0.326 m

The flow rate along the pipe is conserved, so we can write:

$Q_1 = Q_2\\A_1 v_1 = A_2 v_2$

where we have

$A_1 = 0.212 m^2\\v_1 = 5.66 m/s\\v_2 = 3.60 m/s$

and where $A_2$ is the cross-sectional area of the pipe at the second point.

Solving for A2,

$A_2 = \frac{A_1 v_1}{v_2}=\frac{(0.212 m^2)(5.66 m/s)}{3.60 m/s}=0.333 m^2$

And finally we can find the radius of the pipe at that point:

$A_2 = \pi r_2^2\\r_2 = \sqrt{\frac{A_2}{\pi}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.333 m^2}{\pi}}=0.326 m$

A skater extends her arms, holding a 2 kg mass in each hand. She is rotating about a vertical axis at a given rate. She brings h

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between torque and angular acceleration is as follows.

$\tau = I \times \alpha$

and, I = $\sum mr^{2}$

So, $I_{1} = 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (1 m)^{2}$

= 4 $kg m^{2}$

$\tau_{1} = 4 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{1}$

$\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

So, $I_{2} = 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2} + 2 kg \times (0.5 m)^{2}$

= 1 $kg m^{2}$

as $\tau_{2} = I_{2} \alpha_{2}$

= $1 kg m^{2} \times \alpha_{2}$

Hence, $\tau_{1} = \tau_{2}$

$4 \alpha_{1} = \alpha_{2}$

$\alpha_{1} = \frac{1}{4} \alpha_{2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the new rotation is $\frac{1}{4}$ times that of the first rotation rate.
