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

The question for this problem would be the minimum headphone delay, in ms, that will cancel this noise.
The 200 Hz. period = (1/200) = 0.005 sec. It will need to be delayed by 1/2, so 0.005/2, that is = 0.0025 sec. So converting sec to ms, will give us the delay of:Delay = 2.5 ms.

How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?
wariber [46]

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.

If the baseball and the plastic ball were moving at the same speed which ball would hit a bat harder
Lerok [7]
A baseball would hit the bat harder. This is because the baseball is a lot heavier and more dense than the plastic ball. The keyword that you're looking for is density. The baseball is dense.

In a thunderstorm at 20.0°C, Karen sees a bolt of lightning and hears the thunderclap 3.00 s later. How far from Karen did the l
Minchanka [31]
-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second.  So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.

-- For sound, it's a different story.  Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s.  It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.

-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens.  But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.

The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.

If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
        
                     (340 m/s) x (3 s) =  1,020 meters .
                                           
(about 0.63 of a mile)

(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...

  It takes light  0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,

so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)

Two pucks collide with each other. after the collision they do not stick together. is kinetic energy conserved in the collision?
miv72 [106K]
Since they do not stick after collision hence collision is elastic. In elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved because in this type of collision, first body deforms but then quickly regains its former shape and transfers its kinetic energy to the second pluck.
So kinetic energy is conserved.
