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

A heat engine with 0.300 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 500 K . The gas goes through the fo
LuckyWell [14K]

Complete Question:

A heat engine with 0.300 mol of a monatomic ideal gas initially fills a 1000 cm3 cylinder at 500 K . The gas goes through the following closed cycle: - Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm3. - Isochoric cooling to 400 K . - Isothermal compression to 1000 cm3. - Isochoric heating to 500 K .

a) what is the work for one cycle

b) what is the thermal efficiency

Answer:

a) Work done for 1 cycle = 402.13

b) Thermal efficiency = 20%

Explanation:

Number of moles, n = 0.300 mol

Initial Volume, V₁ = 1000 cm³

Temperature, T = 500 K

Isothermal expansion to 5000 cm³

Final volume, V₂ = 5000 cm³

R = 8.314 J/ mol.K

Work done, W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = (0.3 * 8.314 * 500) * ln(5000/1000)

W = 1247.1 * ln5

W₁ = 2007.13 J

Isochoric cooling

In an Isochoric process, volume is constant i.e. V₂ = V₁ = V

W = nRT ln(V/V)

But  ln(V/V) = ln 1 = 0

Work done, W₂ = 0 Joules

Isothermal Compression to 1000 cm³

V₂ = 1000 cm³

V₁ = 5000 cm³

W = nRT ln(V₂/V₁)

W = 0.3 * 8.314 * 400 ln(1000/5000)

W₃ = -1605 J

Isochoric heating to 500 K

Since there is no change in volume, no work is done

W₄ = 0 J

a) Work done for 1 cycle

W = W₁ + W₂ + W₃ + W₄

W = 2007.13 + 0 + 0 -1605+0

W = 402.13 Joules

b) Thermal efficiency

Thermal efficiency = (Net workdone for 1 cycle)/(Heat absorbed)

Heat absorbed = Work done due to thermal expansion = 2007.13 J

Thermal efficiency = 402.13/2007.13

Thermal efficiency = 0.2

Thermal efficiency = 0.2 * 100% = 20 %

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene

A woman throws a javelin 35 mph at an angle 30 degrees from the ground. Neglecting wind resistance or the height the javelin thr
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

35 mph

Explanation:

The key of this problem lies in understanding the way that projectile motion works as we are told to neglect the height of the javelin thrower and wind resistance.

When the javelin is thown, its velocity will have two components: a x component and a y component. The only acceleration that will interact with the javelin after it was thown will be the gravety, which has a -y direction. This means that the x component of the velocity will remain constant, and only the y component will be affected, and can be described with the constant acceleration motion properties.

When an object that moves in constant acceleration motion, the time neccesary for it to desaccelerate from a velocity v to 0, will be the same to accelerate the object from 0 to v. And the distance that the object will travel in both desaceleration and acceleration will be exactly the same.

So, when the javelin its thrown, it willgo up until its velocity in the y component reaches 0. Then it will go down, and it will reach reach the ground in the same amount of time it took to go up and, therefore, with the same velocity.
