Answer:

a) E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+149954.66\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}

b) zero

Explanation:

a) To find the electric field at point C, you sum the contribution of the electric fields generated by the other two charges. The total electric field at C is given by:

E_T=E_1+E_2

E1: electric field of charge 1

E2: electric field of charge 2

It is necessary to calculate the x and y components of both E1 and E2. You take into account the direction of the fields based on the charge q1 and q2:

E_1=k\frac{q_1}{r_{1,3}}[cos\theta\hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]\\\\E_2=k\frac{q_2}{r_{2,3}}[cos\phi\hat{i}-sin\phi \hat{j}]\\\\

r13: distance between charges 1 and 3

r12: charge between charges 2 and 3

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Thus, you first calculate the distance r13 and r23, and also the angles:

r_{1,3}=3.00m\\\\r_{2,3}=\sqrt{(3.00m)^2+(4.00m)^2}=5.00m\\\\\theta=90\°\\\\\phi=tan^{-1}(\frac{4.00}{3.00})=53.13\°

Next, you replace the values of all parameters in order to calculate E1 and E2:

E_1=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(\frac{3.30*10^{-4}C}{(3.00m)^2})\hat{j}\\\\E_1=329266.66\frac{N}{C}\\\\E_2=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)(\frac{6.24*10^{-4}C}{(5.00m)^2})[cos53.13\°\hat{i}-sin(53.13\°)\hat{j}]\\\\E_2=224140.8[0.6\hat{i}-0.8\hat{j}]=134484\hat{i}-179312\hat{j}

finally, you obtain for ET:

E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+(329266.66-179312)\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}\\\\E_T=134,484\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}+149954.66\frac{N}{C}\hat{j}

b) The x component of the force exerted by A on C is zero because there is only a vertial distance between them. Thus, there is only a y component force.

Researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the fil
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Minimum thickness; t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength of light;λ = 585 nm = 585 x 10^(-9)m

Refractive index of benzene;n = 1.5

Now, let's calculate the wavelength of the film;

Wavelength of film;λ_film = Wavelength of light/Refractive index of benzene

Thus; λ_film = 585 x 10^(-9)/1.5

λ_film = 39 x 10^(-8) m

Now, to find the thickness, we'll use the formula;

2t = ½m(λ_film)

Where;

t is the thickness of the film

m is an integer which we will take as 1

Thus;

2t = ½ x 1 x 39 x 10^(-8)

2t = 19.5 x 10^(-8)

Divide both sides by 2 to give;

t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

If the area of an iron rod is 10 cm by 0.5 cm and length is 35 cm. Find the value of resistance, if 11x10^-8 ohm.m be the resist
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Area of iron rod, A=10\ cm\times 0.5\ cm=5\ cm^2 = 0.0005\ m^2

Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m

Resistivity of Iron, \rho=11\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=11\times 10^{-8}\times \dfrac{0.35\ m}{0.0005\ m^2}

R=0.000077 \Omega

So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.

A very humble bumble bee is flying horizontally due North at a constant speed of 3.11 m/s. At the current location of the bumble
Reil [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of the Magnetic Force. This expression will be expressed in both the vector and the scalar ways. Through this second we can directly use the presented values and replace them to obtain the value of the magnitude. Mathematically this can be described as,

\vec{F_B} = q(\vec{V}\times \vec{B})

F_B = q|v||B| sin\theta

Here,

q = Charge

v = Velocity

B = Magnetic field

\theta = \text{Angle between } \vec{B} \text{ and } \vec{V}

Our values are given as,

\theta = 35.7\°

q = 22.5*10^{-9}C

B = 1.05*10^{-5}T

v = 3.11m/s

Replacing,

F_B = (22.5*10^{-9}C)(3.11 \times 1.05*10^{-5}) sin(35.1\°)

F_B = 4.224*10^{-13}N

Therefore the size of the magnetic force acting on the bumble bee is 4.22*10^{-13}N
