Answer: +1.77

Explanation:

Big dipper is the asterism made of seven bright stars in Ursa Major constellation. An asterism a pattern formed by joining the bright stars in the night sky. On the other hand, whole night sky is divided into 88 areas called constellations. These asterisms are used to identify the constellations.

The brightest star of the big dipper is Alioth which is the 32nd brightest star in the night sky. Its apparent magnitude is +1.77.

You are working in cooperation with the Public Health department to design an electrostatic trap for particles from auto emissio

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Charge (q) on the particle = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C

mass (m) of the particle = 6 × 10⁻⁹ kg

at a distance x = 15 cm , the velocity in the plate = 900 m/s²

For the square plate, the surface charged density σ = -8 × 10⁻⁶ C/m²

To start with calculating the electric field as a result of the square plate; we use the formula;

$E = \dfrac{\sigma }{2 \varepsilon_o}$

$E = \dfrac{8 \times 10^{-6} }{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}$

$E = 4.51977 \times 10^5 \ V/m$

On the square plate; The electric force F = Eq

$F = (4.51977 \times 10^5 \ V/m )(3\times 10^{-8} \ C)$

$F = 1.3559 \times 10^{-2} \ N$

The acceleration $a =\dfrac{ F}{m}{$

$a = \dfrac{1.3559\times 10^{-2} \ N}{6 \times 10^{-9} \ Kg}$

$a = 2.25988 \times 10^6 \ m/s^2$

For the particle, the velocity at distance x = 7 m can be calculated by using the formula:

$(\dfrac{1}{2}) mv^2 = \Delta Vq$

$v^2 = \dfrac{2 Eq}{dm}$

$v^2 = \dfrac{2 * 4.51977 \times 10^5 \times 3 \times 10^{-8} }{0.07 \times 6\times 10^{-9} }$

$v^2 = 64568142.86 \ m/s$

$v =\sqrt{ 64568142.86 \ m/s}$

$\mathbf{v = 8.035 \times 10^3 \ m/s}$

From the calculation, we realize that the charge acting between the particle and the plate is said to be "opposite".

Hence, the force is an attractive force.

Similarly, there is a gradual increase exhibited by the velocity of the particle.

Therefore, the particles get to the detector, but the detector failed to get detect due to the velocity which is greater than 1000 m/s.
