Answer:

The net charge is 67.89 \mu C

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the plastic bag, m = 12.0 g = 12.0\times 10^{-3}\ kg

Magnitude of electric field, E = 10^{3}\ N/C

Angle made by the string, \theta = 30^{\circ}

Now,

To calculate the net charge, Q on the ball:

Vertical component of the tension in the string, T = Tcos\theta

Horizontal component of the tension in the string, T = Tsin\theta

Now,

Balancing the forces in the x-direction:

Tsin\theta = QE

Q = {Tsin\theta}{E}                             (1)

Balancing the forces in the y-direction:

Tcos\theta = mg

where

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8\ m/s^{2}

Thus

T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta }

T = \frac{12.0\times 10^{-3}\times 9.8}{cos30^{\circ}} = 0.1357\ N

Use T = 0.1357 N in eqn (1):

Q = {0.1357\times sin30^{\circ}}{10^{3}} = 6.789\times 10^{- 5}\ C

Q = 67.89\times 10^{- 5}\ C = 67.89\mu C

If the potential is given by v = xy - 3z-2, then the electric field has a y-component of?
kiruha [24]

If the potential is given by v = xy - 3z-2, then the electric field has a y-component of X

When the charge is present in any form, a point in space has an electric field that is connected to it. The value of E, often known as the electric field strength, electric field intensity, or just the electric field, expresses the strength and direction of the electric field.

Each location in space where a charge exists in any form can be considered to have an electric field attached to it. The electric force per unit charge is another name for an electric field. The electric field's equation is given as E = F / Q. Volts per meter (V/m) is the electric field's SI unit. Newton's per coulomb unit is the same as this one.

UNO [17]
<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

            Force =  Spring constant x Elongation

            F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

           F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x  = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

           F = kx

           5.3 = k x 0.36

             k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m
