The electrical resistance of the wire is proportional to its length L and inversely proportional to the square of its diameter, 1/r^2. 

The length of the wire in the problem is changed from 200 inches to 500 inches, so the new length is 2.5 times the initial length:
\frac{L_1}{L_0}= \frac{500}{200}=2.5
the diameter of the wire is not changed, so the new electrical resistance must be 2.5 times the original value:
R_1 = 2.5 R_0 = 2.5 \cdot 20 \Omega =50 \Omega

In the diagram, q1 = -6.39*10^-9 C and q2 = +3.22*10^-9 C. What is the electric field at point P? pls help
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

First draw the vectors that represent both electric fields.

E1 is the elictric field created by q1, E2 is the one created by q2.

● q1 is negative so E1 will point from P.

● q2 is positive so E2 will point out of P

(Picture below)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The resulting electric field is equal to the sum of the two fields since both vectors are colinear.

Let E be the total field.

● E = E1 + E2

The formula of the electric field intensity is:

● E = K ×(q/d^2)

-K is Coulomb's constant

-d is the distance between the charge and the object ( here P)

-q is the charge

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E1 = K × (q1/d1^2)

The distance between q1 and P is the qum of 0.15 m 0.25 m. (0.4 m)

Coulombs constant is 9×10^9 m^2/C^2

● E1 = 9×10^9 ×[-6.39 × 10^(-9)/ 0.4^2]

● E1 = -359.43 N/C

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E2 = K ×(q2/d^2)

The distance between q2 and P is 0.25 m.

● E2 = 9×10^9×[3.22×10^(-9) /0.25^2]

● E2 = 463.68 N/C

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E = E1 + E2

● E = -359.43+463.68

● E = 105.25 N/C

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is
Ronch [10]

Complete Question

A gas gun uses high pressure gas tp accelerate projectile through the gun barrel.

If the acceleration of the projective is : a = c/s m/s​2

Where c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m and the projectile is initially at rest. The projectile accelerates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s=3m. What is the value of the constant c such that the projectile leaves the barrel with velocity of 200m/s?

Answer:

The value of the constant is  c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

         The acceleration is  a =  \frac{c}{s}\   m/s^2

         The  initial position of the projectile is s= 1.5m

         The final position of the projectile is s_f =  3 \ m

          The velocity is  v = 200 \ m/s

     Generally  time  =  \frac{ds}{dv}

   and  acceleration is a =  \frac{v}{time }

so

            a = v  \frac{dv}{ds}

 =>        vdv  =  a ds

             vdv  = \frac{c}{s}  ds

integrating both sides

           \int\limits^a_b  vdv  = \int\limits^c_d \frac{c}{s}  ds

Now for the limit

          a =  200 m/s

             b = 0 m/s  

         c = s= 3 m

          d =s_f= 1.5 m

So we have  

           \int\limits^{200}_{0}  vdv  = \int\limits^{3}_{1.5} \frac{c}{s}  ds

              [\frac{v^2}{2} ] \left | 200} \atop {0}} \right.  = c [ln s]\left | 3} \atop {1.5}} \right.

            \frac{200^2}{2}  =  c ln[\frac{3}{1.5} ]

=>           c = \frac{20000}{0.69315}

              c = 28853.78 \ m^2 /s^2

Examine the scenario.
zhannawk [14.2K]

The electrons in the positive object are attracted to the negatively charged object. Some of the electrons move from the positive object to the negative object.

an example of this is lightning because the positive electrons on/in the earth are attracted to the negative electrons in the clouds and sky so the positive move to the negative charge.
