A free positive charge released in an electric field will _____

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Accelerates in the same direction as the field

Explanation:

When a charge is immersed in an electric field, the charge experiences an electric force, whose magnitude is given by

F = qE

where q is the magnitude of the charge and E is the magnitude of the electric field.

The direction of the force depends on the sign of the charge. In particular,

- For a positive charge, F and E have the same direction

- For a negative charge, F and E have opposite directions

Therefore, a free positive charge will experience a force in the same direction as the field - therefore, it will accelerate in the same direction.

A 5.00 gram bullet moving at 600 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.00 cm.
Crazy boy [7]
A) Work energy relation;
 Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
 F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
 F = 900/0.04
    = 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N

b) From newton's second law of motion;
 F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
             = 22500/(5×10^-3)
             = 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
  0 = 600- 4500,000 t

A plane flying horizontally at 377 m/s releases a package at an altitude of 15,770 m. How long will the package take to reach th
wolverine [178]

Answer:

An object is called a horizontal projectile if it is launched from a certain height with some initial horizontal velocity only. The initial vertical velocity of such an object is zero. But as the object falls through the atmosphere the horizontal component of velocity remains constant but vertical component increases due to gravitational acceleration.

A car moving in a straight line starts at X=0 at t=0. It passesthe point x=25.0 m with a speed of 11.0 m/s at t=3.0 s. It passes
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Average velocity v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = 2 m/s^2

Explanation:

Average speed equals the total distance travelled divided by the total time taken.

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

Average acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by change in time.

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

Where;

v1 and v2 are velocities at time t1 and t2 respectively.

And x1 and x2 are positions at time t1 and t2 respectively.

Given;

t1 = 3.0s

t2 = 20.0s

v1 = 11 m/s

v2 = 45 m/s

x1 = 25 m

x2 = 385 m

Substituting the values;

Average speed v = ∆x/∆t = (x2-x1)/(t2-t1)

v = (385-25)/(20-3)

v = 21.18 m/s

Average acceleration a = ∆v/∆t = (v2-v1)/(t2-t1)

a = (45-11)/(20-3)

a = 2 m/s^2

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

b) a = -k / m x , c) d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф) , d) and e)  T = 2π √m / k

h)   a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

Explanation:

a) see free body diagram in the attachment

b) We write Newton's second law

          Fe = m a

          -k x = ma

           a = -k / m x

c) the acceleration is

         a = d²x / dt²

     

      If x = A cos wt

        v = dx / dt = -A w sin (wt +Ф)

        a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

d) we substitute in Newton's second law

        d²x / dt² = -k / m x

   

We call

       w² = k / m

e) substitute to find w

     -A w² cos (wt+Ф) = -k / m A cos (wt+Ф)

      w² = k / m

Angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2π f

       f = 1 / T

       

 We substitute

      T = 2π / w

      T = 2π √m / k

g)    v= - A w sin (wt+Ф)

h) acceleration is

       a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
