A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2

. (a) As the distance from the sheet increases, does the potential increase or decrease? Can you explain why without any calculations? Does the location of your reference point matter? (b) What is the shape of the equipotential surfaces? (c) What is the spacing between surfaces that differ by 1.00 V?

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge.   The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where  σ is charge density of surface and  ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Why is it necessary for cells to be so small​
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste.

Explanation:

That is why the cell needs to be small

Why the effect of gravitational force is more in liquid than in solid?​
LekaFEV [45]
  • Gravitational force depends only on mass and distance, not on the state of matter.
  • The forces of attraction between molecules in matter are electromagnetic in nature, not gravitational.
  • These attractive forces are stronger in a solid than in a liquid than in a gas.
  • Gravitational forces between molecules is completely negligible compared to the em forces.

So, key answer is inter-molecular forces of solids is stronger than liquids.
