Answer:

a) E_net = 0

b) E_net = 2663.7 N/C

c) E_net = 525.915 N/C

d) E_net = 1380.864 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

- The positions of charges are = ( 0.15 , 0 ) & (-0.15 , 0 )

- Both charges have equal magnitude Q = +6*10^-19 C

Find:

Find the magnitude of the electric field at:

(a) the origin;

(b) x = 0.300 m, y = 0;

(c) x = 0.150 m, y = -0.400 m;

(d) x = 0, y = 0.200 m.

Solution:

- The Electric field generated by an charged particle Q at a distance r is given by:

                                 E = k*Q / r^2

- Where, k is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 * 10^9

Part a) @ ( 0 , 0 )

- First we see that the charges +Q_1 and +Q_2 produce an electric field equal but opposite in nature because the distance r from origin and magnitude of charge is same. So the sum of Electric fields:

                                 E_1 + E_3 = 0

Part b) @ ( 0.3 , 0 )

- The Electric field due to charge Q_1 is expressed by:

                                  E_1 = k*Q_1 / r_1^2

Where the distance r from first charge to ( 0.3 , 0 ) is:

                                  r_1 = 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.15 m

- The Electric field due to charge Q_2 is expressed by:

                                  E_2 = k*Q_2 / r_2^2

Where the distance r from second charge to ( 0.3 , 0 ) is:

                                  r_2 = 0.3 - (-0.15) = 0.45 m

- The net Electric Field at point ( 0.3 , 0 ) is:

                                  E_net = E_1 + E_2

                                  E_net = k*Q* ( ( 1 / r_1^2) + ( 1 / r_2^2) )

Plug values in:

                                 E_net = (8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9* ( ( 1 / 0.15^2) + ( 1 / 0.45^2)))

                                 E_net = 2663.7 N/C

Part c) @ ( 0.15 , -0.4 )

- The Electric field due to charge Q_1 is expressed by:

                                  E_1 = k*Q_1 / r_1^2

Where the distance r from first charge to ( 0.15 , -0.4 ) is:

                                  r_1 = 0.4 m

- The Electric field due to charge Q_2 is expressed by:

                                  E_2 = k*Q_2 / r_2^2

Where the distance r from second charge to ( 0.15 , -0.4 ) is:

                                  r_2 = sqrt (0.3^2 + 0.4^2) = 0.5 m

- The net Electric Field at point ( 0.15 , -0.4 ) is:

                                  E_vertical = E_1 + E_2*sin(a)

                                  E_horizontal = E_2*cos(a)

Where,  a is the angle between x -axis and point  ( 0.15 , -0.4 ):

                                  cos(a) = 0.3 / r_2 = 0.3/0.5 = 3/5

                                  sin(a) = 0.4 / r_2 = 0.4/0.5 = 4/5

Hence,

                              E_vertical = k*Q* ( ( 1 / r_1^2) + ( sin(a)/ r_2^2)

                              E_v = (8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9* ( ( 1 / 0.4^2) + ( 0.8 / 0.5^2 )

                              E_v = 509.733 N/C

And,

                              E_Horizontal = k*Q* ( ( 1 / r_1^2) + ( sin(a)/ r_2^2)

                              E_h = (8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9*( 0.6 / 0.5^2 )

                              E_h = 129.456 N/C  

Hence,      

                              E_net = sqrt ( E_vertical^2 + E_horizontal^2)

                              E_net = sqrt ( 509.733^2 + 129.456^2)

                              E_net = 525.915 N/C

                                 

Part d) @ ( 0 , 0.2 )

- The Electric field due to charge Q_1 is expressed by:

                                  E_1 = k*Q_1 / r_1^2

Where the distance r from first charge to ( 0 , 0.2 ) is:

                                  r_1 = sqrt (0.15^2 + 0.2^2) = 0.25 m

- The Electric field due to charge Q_2 is expressed by:

                                  E_2 = k*Q_2 / r_2^2

Where the distance r from second charge to ( 0 , 0.2 ) is:

                                  r_2 = sqrt (0.15^2 + 0.2^2) = 0.25 m

- The net Electric Field at point ( 0 , 0.2 ) is:

                                  E_vertical = E_1*sin(a) + E_2*sin(a)

                                  E_vertical = 2*E*sin(a)

                                  E_horizontal = 0 ... Equal but opposite magnitude

Where,  a is the angle between x -axis and point  ( 0 , 0.2 ):

                                sin(a) = 0.2 / r_2 = 0.2/0.25 = 4/5                                

Hence,

                              E_vertical = 2*k*Q*sin(a)*( 1 / r_1^2)

                              E_v = 2*0.8*(8.99*10^9)*6*10^-9* ( 1 / 0.25^2)

                              E_v = 1380.864 N/C  

Hence,      

                              E_net = E_vertical                              

                              E_net = 1380.864 N/C

66. Calculate the displacement and velocity at times of (a) 0.500 s, (b) 1.00 s, (c) 1.50 s, and (d) 2.00 s for a ball thrown st
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) t=1s

y = 10.1m

v=5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y =11.475 m

v=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y =10.4 m

v=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply the free fall formula for position (y) and speed (v) at any time (t).

As gravity opposes movement the sign in the equations is negative.:  

y = vi*t - ½ g*t2 Equation 1

v=vit-g*t  Equation 2

y: The vertical distance the ball moves at time t  

vi: Initial speed

g= acceleration due to gravity

v= Speed the ball moves at time t  

Known information

We know the following data:

Vi=15 m / s

g =9.8 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

t=1s ,1.5s,2s

Development of problem

We replace t in the equations (1) and (2)  

a) t=1s

y = 15*1 - ½ 9.8*1^{2}=15-4.9=10.1m

v=15-9.8*1 =15-9.8 =5.2m/s

b) t=1.5s

y = 15*1.5 - ½ 9.8*1.5^{2}=22.5-11.025=11.475 m

v=15-9.8*1.5 =15-14.7=0.3m/s

c) t=2s

y = 15*2 - ½ 9.8*2^{2}= 30-19.6=10.4 m

v=15-9.8*2 =15-19.6=-4.6m/s  (The minus sign (-) indicates that the ball is already going down)

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2

For parallel combination,

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.
