A proton starts from rest near the surface of a sheet of charge. It experiences a force of 14.0 microNewtons towards the sheet.

What is the surface charge density of the sheet? (Ignore the gravitational force on the proton.)

Answer:

The surface charge density of the sheet is 1547.516 C/m²

Explanation:

Given;

force experienced by the proton, F = 14.0 μN

Electric field near an infinite sheet with surface charge density (σ) is given as;

E = σ/2ε₀

The force of attraction the proton experienced towards the sheet;

F = Eq

F = q(σ/2ε₀) = \frac{q \sigma}{2 \epsilon_o}

where;

q is the charge of the proton

σ is the surface charge density of the sheet

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space

F = \frac{q \sigma}{2 \epsilon_o} \\\\\sigma = \frac{2F \epsilon_o}{q} \\\\\sigma = \frac{2*14*10^{-6}*8.854*10^{-12}}{1.602*10^{-19}} = 1547.516 \ C/m^2

Therefore, the surface charge density of the sheet is 1547.516 C/m²

Two forces, F₁ and F₂, act at a point. F₁ has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x ax
kirill115 [55]

1) -7.14 N

2) +2.70 N

3) 7.63 N

Explanation:

1)

In order to find the x-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the x-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: this means that the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}

so its x-component is

F_{1x}=(8.00)(cos (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=-3.88 N

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: so, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}

Therefore its x-component is

F_{2x}=(5.40)(cos (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-3.26 N

So, the x-component of the resultant force is

F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}=-3.88+(-3.26)=-7.14 N

2)

In order to find the y-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the y-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: as we said previously, the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}

so its y-component is

F_{1y}=(8.00)(sin (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=7.00 N

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: as we said previously, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}

Therefore its y-component is

F_{2y}=(5.40)(sin (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-4.30 N

So, the y-component of the resultant force is

F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}=7.00+(-4.30)=2.70 N

3)

The two components of the resultant force representent the sides of a right triangle, of which the resultant force corresponds tot he hypothenuse.

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}

Where in this problem, we have:

F_x=-7.14 N is the x-component

F_y=2.70 N is the y-component

And substituting, we find:

F=\sqrt{(-7.14)^2+(2.70)^2}=7.63 N

How do I know if i’m doing number 2 right?
Ksju [112]

We are given an object that is speeding up on a level ground.

Let's remember that the gravitational energy depends on the change in height, therefore, if the object is not changing its height it means that the gravitational energy remains constant.

The kinetic energy depends on the velocity. If the velocity is increasing this means that the kinetic energy is also increasing.

Now, every change in velocity requires acceleration and acceleration requires a force. The force and the distance that the object moves are equivalent to the work that is transferred to the object and therefore, the change in kinetic energy. This means that the total energy of the system increases as work is transferred to the mass.

We have that the total energy of the system increases in the form of kinetic energy and that the gravitational potential energy remains constant. Therefore, the diagrams should look like pie charts that grow but the area of the segment of the potential energy stays the same. It should look similar to the following.

a cylindrical jar is 10cm long and has a cross sectional area of 36cm. if it is completely filled with a fluid of relative densi
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The mass of the fluid is 72 g.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Height (h) = 10 cm

Area of cross section (A) = 36cm²

Relative density = 0.2

Mass =..?

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder. This can be achieved by doing the following:

Volume = Area x Height

Volume = 36 x 10

Volume = 360 cm³

Next, we shall determine the density of the liquid.

This can be obtained as follow:

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

Relative density = 0.2

Density of water = 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid =...?

Relative density = density of substance/density of water.

0.2 = density of fluid / 1 g/cm³

Cross multiply

Density of fluid = 0.2 x 1 g/cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Finally, we shall determine the mass of fluid as follow:

Volume = 360 cm³

Density of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³

Mass of fluid =...?

Density = mass /volume.

0.2 g/cm³ = mass of fluid /360 cm³

Cross multiply

Mass of fluid = 0.2 g/cm³ x 360 cm³

Mass of fluid = 72 g

Therefore, the mass of the fluid in the jar is 72 g.

Explain the difference between speed and velocity and indicate if these are scalar or vector quantities
Natali5045456 [20]
Speed can never be negative because it does not depend in which direction the car moves whereas, velocity will change if a car turns from due North to East.
Quantities which can be described only by their magnitudes are called scalars and those which are described by both, magnitude and direction are vectors
