A free positive charge released in an electric field will _____

Physics
1 answer:
morpeh [17]2 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) A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.800c. You measure its length to be 31.2 m .How long would it be when at rest?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a

     l_o  =52 \  m

b

      l = 37.13 \ LY

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  speed of the spaceship is  v  =  0.800c

    Here  c is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \ m/s

    The  length is  l = 31.2 \  m

     The  distance of the star for earth is d = 145 \  light \  years

     The  speed is v_s = 2.90 *10^{8}

     

Generally the from the length contraction equation we have that

       l  =  l_o  \sqrt{1 -[\frac{v}{c } ]}

Now the when at rest the length is  l_o

So  

      l_o =\frac{l}{\sqrt{ 1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2 } } }

      l_o =\frac{ 31.2 }{ \sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.800c ) ^2}{c^2} } }

      l_o=52 \  m

Considering b  

  Applying above equation

            l  =l_o \sqrt{1 -  [\frac{v}{c } ]}

Here l_o  =145 \  LY(light \ years )

So

           l=145 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v_s^2}{c^2 } }

            l =145 *  \sqrt{ 1 - \frac{2.9 *10^{8}}{3.0*10^{8}} }

            l = 37.13 \ LY

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>
