(4 points) What region is indicated by the shaded region in the figure to the right?

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}$ (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764$

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

b)

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

$F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}$

you replace the values of all variables:

$a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}$

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.

A 2.0kg rock is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 30m/s. Ignore air resistance. What is the net force acting on th

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

19.6N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 2kg

Speed = 30m/s

Unknown:

Net force on the rock = ?

Solution:

The net force acting on this rock is a function of the acceleration due to gravity acting upon it.

Net force = weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Net force = 2 x 9.8 = 19.6N downward

IBM has a fast computer that it calls the Blue Gene/L that can do '136.8

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

138.6 megacalculations

Explanation:

This is a pretty straightforward one.

All it needs is to convert the degree of measurement.

Dimensions in physics are attributed names, which state the power to which they're are raised. Just as how

Kilo and Mega means the numbers are raised to the power of 3 and 6 respectively. There also exists the ones that indicates how small, such as milli and micro, which are to the powers of -3 & -6.

The question says the IBM computer calculates at an astonishing 136.8 teracalculations.

Tera in physics means it's raised to the power of 12. Thus, the IBM calculates at an astonishing rate of

136.8*10^12 calculations per second.

We're then asked how many calculations it does in 1 micro second. Like I had highlighted earlier, 1 micro second is 1 raised to the power of -6. Or succinctly put,

1 micro second = 1*10^-6.

If the IBM does

138.6*10^12 = 1 second,

Then it does

x = 1*10^-6 second.

When we cross multiply, we have

138.6*10^12 * 1*10^-6, and that is

138.6*10^6 calculations, or say, 138.6 megacalculations.

The IBM does 138.6 megacalculations in 1 micro second, which is still astonishing, by the way
