Answer:

<em>D. The total force on the particle with charge q is perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

Explanation:

The image is shown below.

The force on the particle with charge q due to each charge Q = \frac{kQq}{r^{2} }

we designate this force as N

Since the charges form an equilateral triangle, then, the forces due to each particle with charge Q on the particle with charge q act at an angle of 60° below the horizontal x-axis.

Resolving the forces on the particle, we have

for the x-component

N_{x} = N cosine 60° + (-N cosine 60°) = 0

for the y-component

N_{y} = -f sine 60° + (-f sine 60) = -2N sine 60° = -2N(0.866) = -1.732N

The above indicates that there is no resultant force in the x-axis, since it is equal to zero (N_{x} = 0).

The total force is seen to act only in the y-axis, since it only has a y-component equivalent to 1.732 times the force due to each of the Q particles on q.

<em>The total force on the particle with charge q is therefore perpendicular to the bottom of the triangle.</em>

From a lake, water is pumped at a rate of 67 L/s to a storage tank positioned 14 m above while consuming 16.4 kW of electrical p
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

Calculate the number of free electrons and holes (in m-3) in an intrinsic semiconductor that has electron and hole mobilities of
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

ni = 2.04e19

Explanation:

we know that in semiconductor like intrinsic, when electron leave the band, it leave a hole in valence band so we have

n = p = ni

from intrinsic carrier concentration

\sigma = n\left | e \right | \mu_e + n\left | e \right | \mu_h

\sigma = ni\left | e \right | \mu_e  + ni\left | e \right | \mu_h

\sigma = ni \left | e \right | ( \mu_e + \mu_h)

1.7 = ni * 1.6*10^{-19} * (.35 + .17)

ni = 2.014 *10^{19} m^{-3}

ni = 2.04e19
