Answer: b) TRUE and d) TRUE

Explanation: a) FALSE the electric field lines are used to represent the charges postives and negatives.

b) TRUE it is the definition of electric field lines , they are tangent to the electric field vector.

c) FALSE the electric field lines only for conductor are perpendicular to the surface in other any situation there is a tangencial electric field components.

d) TRUE since it is a way to describe and imagine the effect of vectorial fields.

e) FALSE

A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck

Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

$M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})$ where $M_{truck}$ is the mass of the truck, $V_{truck}$ is velocity of the truck, $V_{common}$ is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and $M_{standing}$ is the mass of the standing truck

Making $V_{truck}$ the subject we obtain

$V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}$

Substituting $M_{truck}$ as 25000 Kg, $V_{common}$ as 22.3 m/s, $M_{standing}$ as 2000 Kg we obtain

$V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s$

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

Awave has a period of 1. What is its frequency?

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 1 unit

Explanation:

It is given that,

Period of the wave, T = 1 unit

We need to find the frequency of the wave. There exist an inverse relationship between period and the frequency of the wave. It is given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

Or

$f=\dfrac{1}{T}$

$f=\dfrac{1}{1\ units}$

f = 1 unit

So, the frequency of the wave is 1 unit. Hence, this is the required solution.

A contestants spin a wheel when it is their turn in a game show. One contestant gives the wheel an initial angular speed of 3.40

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

4.62 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial angular speed, $\omega=3.4 rad/s$

$\theta=1\frac{1}{4} rev=\frac{5}{4}\times 2\pi=2.5\pi rad$

$\omega'=0$

$\omega'^2-\omega^2=2\alpha \theta$

Substitute the values

$0-(3.4)^2=2\times 2.5\pi \alpha$

$\alpha=\frac{-(3.4)^2}{2\times 2.5\pi}=-0.736 rad/s^2$

$\omega'=\omega+\alpha t$

$0=3.4-0.736 t$

$-0.736t=-3.4$

$t=\frac{-3.4}{-0.736}=4.62 s$

Hence, the wheel takes 4.62 s to come to rest.

Inez uses hairspray on her hair each morning before going to school. The spray spreads out before reaching her hair partly becau

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

$7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged objects is

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

The force is attractive if the charges have opposite sign and repulsive if the charges have same sign.

In this problem, we have:

$r=0.070 cm =7\cdot 10^{-4} m$ is the distance between the charges

$q_1=q_2=q$ since the charges are identical

$F=9.0\cdot 10^{-9}N$ is the force between the charges

Re-arranging the equation and solving for q, we find the charge on each drop:

$F=\frac{kq^2}{r^2}\\q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.0\cdot 10^{-9})(7\cdot 10^{-4})^2}{8.99\cdot 10^9}}=7.0\cdot 10^{-13}C$

Now imagine a person dragging a 50 kg box along the ground with a rope, as

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is, μ = 0.061

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the box, m = 50 kg

The force exerted by the person, F = 50 N

The time period of motion, t = 10 s

The frictional force acting on the box, f = 30 N

The normal force on the box, η = mg

= 50 x 9.8

= 490 N

The coefficient of friction,

μ = f/ η

= 30 / 490

= 0.061

Hence, the coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is, μ = 0.061
