Answer:

40 N/m

Explanation:

F = -kx (This is the Hooke's Law equation)

F is the force the spring exerts = 8 N

-k = spring constant

x = displacement (The distance stretched past it's natural length) = 20cm

x needs to be in meters, and 20 cm is = to 0.2 meters

Finally:

8N = -k (0.2m)

-k = 8N / 0.2 m

k = -40 N/m

An electric dipole is formed from ±1.00nC charges spaced 3.00 mm apart. The dipole is at the origin, oriented along the x-axis.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Value of electric field along the axis and equitorial axis $E=31.25\ N/c$ and $E = 15.625\ N/c$ respectively.

Explanation:

Given :

Distance between charges , $d = 3 \ mm =\dfrac{3}{1000}\ m=3\times 10^{-3}\ m.$

Magnitude of charges , $q=1\ nC = 10^{-9}\ C.$

Dipole moment , $p=qL=10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^{-3}=3\times 10^{-12} \ C\ m.$

Case A) (x,y) = (12.0 cm, 0 cm) :

Electric field of dipole in its axis ,

$E=\dfrac{2kp}{r^3}$

Putting all values and $r=12\times 10^{-2}\ m.$

We get , $E=31.25\ N/c.$

Case B) (x,y) = (0 cm, 12.0 cm) :

Electric field of dipole on equitorial axis ,

$E = \dfrac{kp}{r^3}$

Putting all values and $r=12\times 10^{-2}\ m.$

We get , $E = 15.625\ N/c.$

Hence , this is the required solution.

Question 2.

choli [55]

Explanation:

1 inch = 25.4 mm

1 foot = 12 inches

1 mile = 5260 feet

1 cm = 0.01 m or 10 mm

Now Sammy's height is 5 feet and 5.3 inches.

(a) We need to find Sammy's height in inches.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 5 × 12 inches = 60 inches

Now, 5 feet and 5.3 inches = 60 inches + 5.3 inches = 65.3 inches

Sammy's height is 65.3 inches.

(b) We need to find Sammy's height in feet.

Since, 1 foot = 12 inches

$1\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{1}{12}\ \text{feet}$

So,

$5.3\ \text{inch}=\dfrac{5.3}{12}\ \text{feet}=0.4416\ \text{feet}$

5 feet and 5.3 inches = 5 feet + 0.4416 feet = 5.44 feet

Sammy's height is 5.44 feet.

Answer:

I = 0.25 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [Volt]

I = amperage or current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Since all resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be equal to the arithmetic sum of all resistors.

Rt = 2 + 8 + 14

Rt = 24 [ohm]

Now clearing I for amperage

I = V/Rt

I = 6/24

I = 0.25 [amp].
