<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) +2 x 10² N/C (upwards)

(b) -2.2μN or -2.2 x 10⁻⁶N (downwards)

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The force (F) acting on a particle of charge (Q) at a particular point is related to its electric field (E) by the following;

F = Q x E   ----------------------(i)

This means that the force acting on the charged particle is the product of its charge and the electric field at that point.

<em>(a) Given</em>;

Q = charge of the particle = 2.3 x 10⁻⁸ C

F = force acting on the particle = 4.6 x 10⁻⁶N

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

=> 4.6 x 10⁻⁶  = 2.3 x 10⁻⁸ x E

=> E = 4.6 x 10⁻⁶ ÷ 2.3 x 10⁻⁸

=> E =  2 x 10² N/C

Since the value is positive, the electric field is directed upwards.

Therefore, the electric field at that point is +2 x 10² N/C

<em>(b) If a charge of q = -1.1 x 10⁻⁸ is placed there, the force (F) acting is calculated as follows;</em>

<em>Substitute Q = q into equation (i) as follows;</em>

F = q x E

<em>Substitute the value of q and E = 2 x 10² N/C into the equation above as follows;</em>

F = -1.1 x 10⁻⁸ x 2 x 10²

F = -2.2 x 10⁻⁶ N

F = -2.2μN

Since the value of the force, F, is negative, it means it is directed downwards.

Therefore the force on the charge is -2.2μN

A car accelerates from rest at 3.6 m/s 2 . How much time does it need to attain a speed of 5 m/s?
Olenka [21]

car starts from rest

v_i = 0

final speed attained by the car is

v_f = 5 m/s

acceleration of the car will be

a = 3.6 m/s^2

now the time to reach this final speed will be

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{5 - 0}{3.6}

t = 1.39 s

so it required 1.39 s to reach this final speed

Part complete How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per five seconds?
shtirl [24]

Answer:

L=6.21m

Explanation:

For the simple pendulum problem we need to remember that:

\frac{d^{2}\theta}{dt^{2}}+\frac{g}{L}sin(\theta)=0,

where \theta is the angular position, t is time, g is the gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum. We also need to remember that there is a relationship between the angular frequency and the length of the pendulum:

\omega^{2}=\frac{g}{L},

where \omega is the angular frequency.

There is also an equation that relates the oscillation period and the angular frequeny:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T},

where T is the oscillation period. Now, we can easily solve for L:

(\frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}=\frac{g}{L}\\\\L=g(\frac{T}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=9.8(\frac{5}{2\pi})^{2}\\\\L=6.21m

A closely wound circular coil has a radius of 6.00 cmand carries a current of 2.65 A. How many turns must it have if the magneti
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Given:

radius of the coil, R = 6 cm = 0.06 m

current in the coil, I = 2.65 A

Magnetic field at the center, B = 6.31\times 10^{4} T

Solution:

To find the number of turns, N, we use the given formula:

B = \frac{\mu_{o}NI}{2R}

Therefore,

N = \frac{2BR}{\mu_{o}I}

N = \frac{2\times 6.31\times 10^{4}\times 0.06}{4\pi \times 10^{- 7}\times 2.65}

N = 22.74 = 23 turns (approx)
