Answer:

a) 24.5*10⁻² N b) θ = -11.3º c) x=108 m d) y=-21.6 m

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the block can be treated as a point charge, the electrostatic force on it, must be equal to the product of the electric field, times the value of  the charge.

At the same time, this force must obey Newton's 2nd law, as follows:

F = m*a = q*E

As this is a vector equation, and  we have the value of the x and y components of the electric field, we can decompose it in two algebraic equations, as follows:

Fₓ = m*aₓ = q*Eₓ

Fy = m*ay = q*Ey

In order to find the magnitude of the force F, we can find the magnitude of E, as follows:

E =\sqrt{Ex^{2} +Ey^{2}} =\sqrt{3000N/C^{2} +(-600N/C)^{2}} =3.06e3 N/C

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the block is:

F = q*E = 8.00*10⁻⁵ C * 3.06*10³ N/C =24.5*10⁻² N

b) The direction of the force, as the charge is positive, by convention, is the same as the electric field.

The angle of the electric field with the positive x-axis, can be calculated from the values of Eₓ and Ey, as follows:

θ = tg⁻¹ (Ey/Ex) = tg⁻1 (-600/3000) = tg⁻1 (-.2) = -11.3º (11.3º below horizontal)

c) and d)

As the electric field is uniform, we can get the displacement due to the electrostatic force, applying kinematic equations, to the x and y directions, as they are independent each other due they are perpendicular each other.

As we have already told, we have the following algebraic equations:

Fₓ = m*aₓ = q* Eₓ

Fy = m*ay = q*Ey

As we have the values of Ex, Ey, and m, we can find aₓ and  ay, as follows:

ax = \frac{q*Ex}{m } = \frac{8e-5C*3e3N/C}{1e-2kg} = 24 m/s2

ay = \frac{q*Ey}{m } = \frac{8e-5C*(-6e2N/C}{1e-2kg} = -4.8 m/s2

We can find the horizontal and vertical displacements from the origin (the position coordinates at the time t), as follows:

x =\frac{1}{2}*ax*t^{2}  =\frac{1}{2} * 24 m/s2*3.00s^{2} = 108 m

y =\frac{1}{2}*ay*t^{2}  =\frac{1}{2} * (-4.8 m/s2)*3.00s^{2} = -21.6 m

⇒ x, y = 108.0 m, -21.6 m

artcher [175]

Answer:

F=m*g is the formula and the answer is 19,620 kg

Explanation:

Since the formula is F=m*g and Earth's gravity is 9.81 m/s^2 all you need to do is multiply 2,000 by 9.81

Monochromatic coherent light shines through a pair of slits. If the wavelength of the light is decreased, which of the following
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

he correct answers are a, b

Explanation:

In the two-slit interference phenomenon, the expression for interference is

          d sin θ= m λ                       constructive interference

          d sin θ = (m + ½) λ             destructive interference

in general this phenomenon occurs for small angles, for which we can write

           tanθ = y / L

           tan te = sin tea / cos tea = sin tea

           sin θ = y / La

un

derestimate the first two equations.

Let's do the calculation for constructive interference

         d y / L = m λ

the distance between maximum clos is and

         y = (me / d) λ

this is the position of each maximum, the distance between two consecutive maximums

         y₂-y₁ = (L   2/d) λ - (L 1 / d) λ₁          y₂ -y₁ = L / d λ

examining this equation if the wavelength decreases the value of y also decreases

the same calculation for destructive interference

         d y / L = (m + ½) κ

         y = [(m + ½) L / d] λ

again when it decreases the decrease the distance

the correct answers are a, b
