A thin, flat washer is a disk with an outer diameter of 14 cm and a hole in the center with a diameter of 7 cm. The washer has a

uniform charge distribution and a total charge of 8 nC. What is the electric field on the axis of the washer at a distance of 33 cm from the center of the washer? (Enter the magnitude of the electric field.)

Answer:

2583.9 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Outer diameter = 14 cm

Outer radius, R = 7cm = 0.07m

Inner diameter = 7 cm

Inner radius, r = 3.5 cm = 0.035m

Charge of washer = 8 nC = 8 * 10^(-9)C

Distance from washer, z = 33 cm = 0.33m

The electric field due to a washer (hollow disk) is given as:

E = k * σ * 2π [ 1 - z/(√(z² + R²)]

Where σ = charge per unit area

σ = q/π(R² - r²)

σ = 8 * 10^(-9) /(π*(0.07 - 0.035)²)

σ = 2.077 * 10^(-6) C/m²

=> E = 9 * 10^9 * 2.077 * 10^(-6) * 2π * [1 - 0.33/(√(0.33² + 0.07²)]

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * (1 - 0.978)

E = 117.467 * 10^3 * 0.022

E = 2583.9 N/C

An object is placed 10 cm in front of a diverging mirror. What is the focal length of the mirror if the image appears 2 cm behin

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

the focal length of the mirror is : $f=-2.5\,\,cm$

Explanation:

Use the formula for the formation of image using a divergent mirror and recalling that the image (s') that this mirror formed is virtual, so it is entered as a negative number in the formula. Use the object position (s) as 10, the image position (s') as -2, and derive the value of the focal length:

$\frac{1}{s} +\frac{1}{s'}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} +\frac{1}{-2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{1}{10} -\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{f}\\\frac{10\,f}{10} -\frac{10\,f}{2}=\frac{10\,f}{f}\\f-5\,f=10\\-4\,f=10\\f=-2.5\,\,cm$

shows a conical pendulum, in which the bob (the small object at the lower end of the cord) moves in a horizontal circle at const

Contact [7]

Answer:

a) $T=0.40 N$

b) $T=1.9 s$

Explanation:

Let's find the radius of the circumference first. We know that bob follows a circular path of circumference 0.94 m, it means that the perimeter is 0.94 m.

The perimeter of a circunference is:

$P=2\pi r=0.94$

$r=\frac{0.94}{2\pi}=0.15 m$

Now, we need to find the angle of the pendulum from vertical.

$tan(\alpha)=\frac{r}{L}=\frac{0.15}{0.90}=0.17$

$\alpha=9.44 ^{\circ}$

Let's apply Newton's second law to find the tension.

$\sum F=ma_{c}=m\omega^{2}r$

We use centripetal acceleration here, because we have a circular motion.

The vertical equation of motion will be:

$Tcos(\alpha)=mg$ (1)

The horizontal equation of motion will be:

$Tsin(\alpha)=m\omega^{2}r$ (2)

a) We can find T usinf the equation (1):

$T=\frac {mg}{cos(\alpha)}=\frac{0.04*9.81}{cos(9.44)}=0.40 N$

We can find the angular velocity (ω) from the equation (2):

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{Tsin(\alpha)}{mr}}=3.31 rad/s$

b) We know that the period is T=2π/ω, therefore:

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{3.31}=1.9 s$

I hope it helps you!

base your answer to this question on the information below and on your knowledge of physics. A toy launcher that is used to laun

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer: v = 2.24 m/s

Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

$KE_{i}+PE_{i}=KE_{f}+PE_{f}$

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.

The equation is calculated as:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}+0=0+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2}50(0.1)^{2}=\frac{1}{2}(0.1)v^{2}$

$v^{2}=\frac{50(0.1)^{2}}{0.1}$

$v=\sqrt{50(0.1)}$

$v=\sqrt{5}$

v = 2.24

The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.

How does uncertainty relate to measurements and calculations made during an investigation?

DerKrebs [107]

Uncertainty means that your result may be very random, so you can't trust the first or second or so observation, making several samples critical for accuracy. <span />
