Answer: c. 25.50%

Soil porosity refers to the amount of pores, or open spaces present between the soil particles. Soil porosity is an important property of soil. It allows the absorption of water and air through the particles of soil. The loose soil will have separated particles of soil hence, will have high porosity. The dense and compact soil particles will have less porosity because compaction decreases the pores inside the soil. Sand is a soil which has particles finer than gravel and coarser than silt. The particles of sand remains loose hence, it will exhibit particles of small grain size with low porosity and high drainage. Therefore, the porosity of sand sample is 25.50%.

Honeybees acquire a charge while flying due to friction with the air. A 100 mg bee with a charge of +23 pC experiences an electr

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(A) ratio of electric force to weight will be $23.469\times 10^{-10}$

(b) Electric field will be $E=4.26\times 10^{10}N/C$

Explanation:

We have given mass of bee = 100 mg = $m=100\times 10^{-3}=0.1kg$

Charge on bee $q=23pC=23\times 10^{-12}C$

Electric field E = 100 N/C

Weight of the bee $W=mg=0.1\times 9.8=0.98N$

Electric force on the bee $F=qE=23\times 10^{-12}\times 100=23\times 10^{-10}N$

So the ratio of electric force on the bee and weight is $=\frac{F}{W}=\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{0.98}=23.469\times 10^{-10}$

(B) To hold the bee in air electric force must be equal to weight of bee

So $mg=qE$

$0.1\times 9.8=23\times 10^{-12}E$

$E=4.26\times 10^{10}N/C$

qaws [65]

Answer:

0.1040512455 N

$36.03^{\circ}\ or\ 323.97^{\circ}in\ CCW\ direction$

0.05925 N

$29.74^{\circ}\ or\ 330.26^{\circ}in\ CCW\ direction$

Explanation:

I = Current

B = Magnetic field

Separation between end points is

$l=\sqrt{40^2+55^2}\\\Rightarrow l=68.00735\ mm$

Effective force is given by

$F=IlB\\\Rightarrow F=5.1\times 68.00735\times 10^{-3}\times 0.3\\\Rightarrow F=0.1040512455\ N$

The force is 0.1040512455 N

$tan\theta=\dfrac{55}{40}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{55}{40}\\\Rightarrow \theta=53.97^{\circ}$

The angle the force makes is given by

$\alpha=\theta-90\\\Rightarrow \alpha=53.97-90\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-36.03^{\circ}\ or\ 323.97^{\circ}in\ CCW\ direction$

The direction is $36.03^{\circ}\ or\ 323.97^{\circ}in\ CCW\ direction$

$F=IlB\\\Rightarrow F=4.9\times \sqrt{20^2+35^2}\times 10^{-3}\times 0.3\\\Rightarrow F=0.05925\ N$

The force is 0.05925 N

$tan\theta=\dfrac{35}{20}\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}\dfrac{35}{20}\\\Rightarrow \theta=60.26^{\circ}$

$\alpha=\theta-90\\\Rightarrow \alpha=60.26-90\\\Rightarrow \alpha=-29.74^{\circ}\ or\ 330.26^{\circ}in\ CCW\ direction$

The direction is $29.74^{\circ}\ or\ 330.26^{\circ}in\ CCW\ direction$
