A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At

a point P that is 1.25 cm outside the sheet, the magnitude of the electric field due to the sheet is E. If the sheet is now stretched so that its sides have length 2d, what is the magnitude of the electric field at P?

Answer:

E/4

Explanation:

The formula for electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

Where;

E is the electric field

σ is the surface charge density

ε₀ is the electric constant.

Formula to calculate σ is;

σ = Q/A

Where;

Q is the total charge of the sheet

A is the sheet's area.

We are told the elastic sheet is a square with a side length as d, thus ;

A = d²

So;

σ = Q/d²

Putting Q/d² for σ in the electric field equation to obtain;

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

Now, we can see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d i.e.

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. We now double the side length of the sheet to 2L while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet.

From the relationship of E with d, the magnitude of electric field at P will now have a quarter of its original magnitude which is;

E_new = E/4

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

The third floor of a house is 8m above street level. How much work is needed to move a 136kg refrigerator to the third floor?
jonny [76]

m = Mass of the refrigerator to be moved to third floor = 136 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity by earth on the refrigerator being moved = 9.8 m/s²

h = Height to which the refrigerator is moved  = 8 m

W = Work done in lifting the object

Work done in lifting the object is same as the gravitational potential energy gained by the refrigerator. hence

Work done = Gravitation potential energy of refrigerator

W = m g h

inserting the values

W = (136) (9.8) (8)

W = 10662.4 J

dybincka [34]

                               Work = (force) x (distance)

The work he did:    Work = (700 N) x (4m)  =  2,800 joules

The rate at which
he did it (power):    Work/time =  2,800 joules/2 sec

                                                =  1,400  joules/sec

                                                =  1,400 watts

                                                =  1.877... horsepower (rounded)

A 1.3-kg model airplane flies in a circular path on the end of a 23-m line. The plane makes
storchak [24]

(a) The plane makes 4.3 revolutions per minute, so it makes a single revolution in

(1 min) / (4.3 rev) ≈ 0.2326 min ≈ 13.95 s ≈ 14 s

(b) The plane completes 1 revolution in about 14 s, so that in this time it travels a distance equal to the circumference of the path:

(2<em>π</em> (23 m)) / (14 s) ≈ 10.3568 m/s ≈ 10 m/s

(c) The plane accelerates toward the center of the path with magnitude

<em>a</em> = (10 m/s)² / (23 m) ≈ 4.6636 m/s² ≈ 4.7 m/s²

(d) By Newton's second law, the tension in the line is

<em>F</em> = (1.3 kg) (4.7 m/s²) ≈ 6.0627 N ≈ 6.1 N
