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

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Explanation:

From Hydrostatics we find that the pressure difference between extremes of the water column is defined by the following formula, which is a particular case of the Bernoulli's Principle ( $v_{bottom}\approx v_{top}$ ):

$p_{bottom}-p_{top} = \rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$ (1)

$p_{bottom}$ , $p_{top}$ - Total pressures at the bottom and at the top, measured in pascals.

$\rho$ - Density of the water, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

$\Delta h$ - Height difference of the step, measured in meters.

If we know that $p_{bottom} = 132000\,Pa$ , $\rho = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}$ , $g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ and $\Delta h = 0.275\,m$ , then the pressure at the top of the step is:

$p_{top} = p_{bottom}-\rho\cdot g\cdot \Delta h$

$p_{top} = 132000\,Pa-\left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.275\,m)$

$p_{top} = 129303.075\,Pa$

$p_{top} = 129.303\,kPa$

The pressure at the top of the step is 129.303 kilopascals.

Answers:

The transportation industry is no stranger to the manipulation of everyday physics. Cars and trains utilize the wheel, which provides a smooth, steady motion.

The ears hear sounds which occur through the movement of air molecules, and the chemistry that drives all of biology depends on the physics of energy and molecules. Every day, for example, plants absorb sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, creating glucose and releasing oxygen as a byproduct.

Using energy considerations, calculate the average force (in N) a 67.0 kg sprinter exerts backward on the track to accelerate fr

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$F_{sprinter}=110.4N$

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m=67.0 kg

Final Speed vf=8.00 m/s

Initial Speed vi=2.00 m/s

Distance d=25.0 m

Force F=30.0 N

From work-energy theorem we know that the work done equals the change in kinetic energy

W=ΔK=Kf-Ki=1/2mvf²-1/2mvi²

And

$W=F_{total}.d$

So

$W=1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2\\F_{total}=\frac{1/2mv_{f}^2-1/2mv_{i}^2}{d} \\F_{total}=\frac{1/2(67.0kg)(8.00m/s)^2-1/2(67.0kg)(2.00m/s)^2}{25.0m} \\F_{total}=80.4N$

and we know that the force the sprinter exerted Fsprinter the force of the headwind Fwind=30.0N

So

$F_{sprinter}=F_{total}+F_{wind}\\F_{sprinter}=80.4N+30N\\F_{sprinter}=110.4N$
