Answer:

a)E=2.88*10^{-13}N/C

b)E=1.44*10^{-13}N/C

c)F=4.61*10^{-32}N

Explanation:

The definition of a electric field produced by a point charge is:

E=k*q/r^2

<u>a)Electric Field due to the alpha particle:</u>

E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(100)^2=2.88*10^{-13}N/C

<u>b)Electric Field  due to the electron:</u>

E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(100})^2=1.44*10^{-13}N/C

<u>c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:</u>

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force magnitude but with opposite direction:

F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(100)^2=4.61*10^{-32}N

How to calculate depth of sea whan a ship receives sound produced by its fathometer after 3.5 second
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

2600 m

Explanation:

A fathometer produces a sound wave and then detects the echo.  It takes 3.5 seconds for the echo to reach the ship, so that means it takes half the time (1.75 seconds) to reach the ocean floor.

The speed of sound in seawater is approximately 1500 m/s, so the depth of the ocean at that point is:

d = 1500 m/s × 1.75 s

d = 2625 m

Rounding to two significant figures, the depth is approximately 2600 m.

Skateboard A Force: 33 N Time: 0.12 s Skateboard B Force: 33 N Time: 0.57 s Skateboard C Force: 33 N Time: 0.78 s Which skateboa
nata0808 [166]
The impulse is given by the magnitude of the force times the time interval:
I= F \Delta t
We can see that the force F of the 4 skateboard is always the same (33 N), this means that the skateboard with greatest impulse is the one with the largest time interval, so skateboard C).

Determine the total moment of inertia of a merry-go round with 5 children sitting on it. Of the five children, four are seated a
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

We have five children.

Each of mass m =30kg

They sit on a merry go round

Mass of Merry go round M= 150kg

Radius of Merry go round is r =2m

Four children sit at the edge of the merry go round but one child sit at the centre.

The four child that sit at the edge are 2m from the centre of the merry go round but the one at the centre is 0m from the centre

Moment of inertia?

Moment of inertia is given as

I=Σmi•ri²

For the question, the moment of inertia is the combination of inertial of child and the merry go round

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child)+ I(last child)

The merry go round is assumed to be a solid cylinder, so it is going to have the moment of inertia of solid cylinder

Then,

I(merry go round ) =½ Mr²

Also, Four of the child has the same moment of inertia, they are 2m form the centre of the merry go round why the last child has no moment of inertia

I= I(merry go round) + I(four child) +I(last child )

I= ½Mr² + 4mr² + mr'²

I = ½ × 150 ×2² + 4×30×2² + 30×0²

I = 300 +480+0

I = 780 kgm²
