Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
A horizontal rope has a length of 5 m and a mass of 0.00145 kg. If a pulse occurs on this string, generating a wavelength of 0.6 m and a frequency of 120 Hz. The tension to which the string is subjected is
mass of string, m = 0.00145 kg
Frequency, f = 120 Hz
wavelength = 0.6 m
Speed = frequency x wavelength
speed = 120 x 0.6 = 72 m/s
Let the tension is T.
Use the formula
Option (A) is correct.
Answer:
a) F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( ), b) x = 0.15 m
Explanation:
a) In this problem we use that the electric force is a vector, that charges of different signs attract and charges of the same sign repel.
The electric force is given by Coulomb's law
F =
Since when we have the two negative charges they repel each other and when we fear one negative and the other positive attract each other, the forces point towards the same side, which is why they must be added.
F_net= ∑ F = F₁ + F₂
let's locate a reference system in the load that is on the left side, the distances are
left side - electron r₁ = x
right side -electron r₂ = d-x
let's call the charge of the electron (q) and the fixed charge that has equal magnitude Q
we substitute
F_net = k q Q ( )
F _net = kqQ ( )
let's substitute the values
F_net = 9 10⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 4.50 10⁻⁹ ( )
F_net = 6.48 10⁻¹⁸ ( )
now we can substitute the value of x from 0.05 m to 0.25 m, the easiest way to do this is in a spreadsheet, in the table the values of the distance (x) and the net force are given
x (m) F (N)
0.05 27.0 10-16
0.10 8.10 10-16
0.15 5.76 10-16
0.20 8.10 10-16
0.25 27.0 10-16
b) in the adjoint we can see a graph of the force against the distance, it can be seen that it has the shape of a parabola with a minimum close to x = 0.15 m
