A 1.95-nC charged particle located at the origin is separated by a distance of 0.0800 m from a 3.78-nC charged particle located

farther along the positive x axis. Both particles are held at their locations by an external agent.
(a) What is the electrostatic force on the 3.78-nC particle?
(b) What is the electrostatic force on the 1.95-nC particle?

Answer:

(a) The electrostatic force on the 3.78-nC particle is 10.35 \times 10^{-6} N along the  

    positive x axis.

(b) The electrostatic force on the 1.95-nC particle is 10.35 \times 10^{-6} N along the  

    negative x axis.

Explanation:

a.) The electrostatic force on the 3.78 nC particle is

    F_1 = \frac{Q_1 \times Q_2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}  \hat{i}    where Q_1 is the 1.95 nC charge at the origin, and

                                        Q_2 is the 3.78 nC  charge at 0.08 m from the origin

                                         r is the distance of 0.08 between the charges

                                         \epsilon_{0} is the relative permittivity of 8.854 × 10^{-12} F/m.

Therefore F_1 = \frac{1.95 \times 10^{-9} \times 3.78 \times 10^{-9}}{4 \times \pi \times 8.854 \time 10^{-12} \times (0.08)^2}    =  10.35 \times 10^{-6} Newton in the positive x direction.

b.) The electrostatic force on the 1.95 nC particle is the same as the electrostatic force on the 3.78 nC particle except that its direction is in the negative x- axis direction.

Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).

Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec       Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min    energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min
