A charge of 3 nC is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius 10 cm that has its center at the origin and its axis along the

x axis. A point charge of 1 nC is located at x = 2.5 m. Find the work required to move the point charge to the origin. Hint: The electric field on the axis was calculated in class (see Example 3 in the the slides for Lecture 16).

Answer:

W=2.592*10^{-7} J

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

Charge 3 nC

Radius of ring is 10 cm

A point charge 1 nC

Distance of point charge is 2.5 m

We know that voltage is calculated as

V(0) =\frac{KQ}{r}

      =\frac{(9*10^{-9})(3*10^{-9})}{0.1}

V = 270 V

At x = 2.5m

r = \sqrt{(0.1^2+2.5^2)}

r = 1.581 m

V(2) = \frac{(9*10^9)(3*10^{-9})}{1.581}

V(2) = 10.801 V

Work done is calculated as

W= q(dV)

W = (1*10^{-9})(270 - 10.80)

W=2.592*10^{-7} J

Small, slowly moving spherical particles experience a drag force given by Stokes' law: Fd = 6πηrv where r is the radius of the p
Dominik [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

At the time of a body achieving terminal velocity, the drag force becomes equal to the weight of the body less the buoyant force by the surrounding medium which can be represented by the following equation

\frac{4\pi\times r^3(d-\rho)}{3} =6\pi\times n\times r\times v

Where r is radius of the body , d is density of the material of the body σ is density of the medium and n is coefficient of viscosity of the medium and v is terminal velocity.

Simplifying

v = \frac{2\times r^2(d-\rho)}{9\times n}

Assuming the value of density of air as 1.225 kg/m³ and putting other given values in the formula we get

v = [tex]\frac{2\times (1.2\times10^{-5})^2(2182-1.225)}{9\times 1.8\times10^{-5}}[/tex]

v = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

Terminal velocity = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s

Time taken to fall a distance of 100 m

= \frac{100}{387\times10^{-5}}

= 2.6 x 10⁴ s.

A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field b with a speed of 3.7 × 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 5
svlad2 [7]
The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by
F=qvB \sin \theta
where q is the proton charge, v its velocity, B the magnitude of the magnetic field and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. Since the proton moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field, this angle is 90 degrees, so \sin \theta=1 and we can ignore it in the formula.

For Netwon's second law, the force is also equal to the proton mass times its acceleration:
F=ma

So we have
ma=qvB
from which we can find the magnitude of the field:
B= \frac{ma}{qv}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(5\cdot 10^{13}m/s^2)}{(1-6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}=0.014 T

A force of 4 kg weight acts on a body of mass 9.8 kg calculate the acceleration
White raven [17]

Answer:

here given is a weight

then force becomes mg

that is F=Mg

=4*9.8

then by using the formula

F=Ma

a=F/M

=4*9.8/9.8

=4

Joshua was driving to a friend’s house to study. During his trip, he started on pavement. At one point, he hit an ice patch on t
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b. Friction decreased when he went from pavement to ice and then increased two more times.

Explanation:

Frictional force depends on the normal force of the surface and a friction coefficient.

F_{f} = -\mu N

Since we're talking about the same car, the value of N will remain constant whereas μ will represent the change in the frictional coefficient of the surface. Now we consider the different surfaces, cars will slide in an icy road which means that the frictional coefficient is smaller than the pavement.

After Joshua returns to the pavement road, the resulting frictional force increases and will do so one more time when he reaches the gravel road. Gravel roads have greater frictional coefficients than pavement roads which means the frictional force will increase a second time.
