Answer:

the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet is - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

Explanation:

given information:

styrofoam mass, m = 16 g = 0.016 kg

net charge, q = - 8.6 μC

to calculate the charge per unit area on the plastic sheet, we can use the following equation:

F_{e} = mg

where

F_{e} = the force between the electric field

m = mass

g = gravitational force

F_{e} =qE

where

q = charge

E = electric field

and

E = σ/2ε₀

where

ε₀ = permitivity

thus

F_{e} =qE

mg = qσ/2ε₀

σ = (2mg ε₀)/q

  = 2 (0.016) (9.8)  (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)/( - 8.6 x 10⁻⁶)

  = - 3.23 x 10⁻⁷ C/m²

A 2-kg toy car accelerates from 5 to 10 m/s.
andre [41]
<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

A 2-kg toy car accelerates from 5 to 10 m/s in 2 seconds. Find the applied force.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Force applied is 5\frac {kgm} {s^2}.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Force is defined as something which changes or tends to change the velocity of a body. And acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of a body per time. Both of them are vector quantities.

The initial velocity of the body = 5 m/s.

The final velocity of the body = 10 m/s.

So the change in velocity = 10 - 5 m/s = 5m/s.

Time period = 2 seconds.

So acceleration =\frac52 m/s^2= 2.5 m/s^2

The force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

Mass of body = 2 kg.

So, force applied =  2 \times 2.5 kgm/s^2. =5kgm/s^2.

Modern physics theories indicate that:
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

A) All particles exhibit wave behavior

Explanation:

According to Modern physics,  which may also be called Quantum Physics, all matter  exhibits both wave like and particle like character.

Light and other electromagnetic waves also exhibits both wave like and particle like behavior.This is called wave particle duality.

For gross objects wave length is negligible and so they cannot be identified  as wave. But every matter behaves as a wave as well as a particle.

Compton effect gives the best example of the wave particle duality.
