Answer:

20N

Explanation:

Ratio of N to cm-

10:2

so to make 2=4 times 2 so The ratio is now-

20:4

so to move 4 cm you need to push 20N.

A disk with radius R and uniform positive charge density s lies horizontally on a tabletop. A small plastic sphere with mass M a

Yanka [14]

Answer:

a. F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] b. h = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

Explanation:

a. What is the magnitude of the net upward force on the sphere as a function of the height z above the disk?

The electric field due to a charged disk with surface charge density s and radius R at a distance z above the center of the disk is given by

E = s/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

So, the net force on the small plastic sphere of mass M and charge Q is

F = QE

F = Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)]

b. At what height h does the sphere hover?

The sphere hovers at height z = h when the electric force equals the weight of the sphere.

So, F = mg

Qs/2ε₀[1 - z/√(z² + R²)] = mg

when z = h, we have

Qs/2ε₀[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = mg

[1 - h/√(h² + R²)] = 2mgε₀/Qs

h/√(h² + R²) = 1 - 2mgε₀/Qs

squaring both sides, we have

[h/√(h² + R²)]² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

h²/(h² + R²) = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²

cross-multiplying, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²(h² + R²)

expanding the bracket, we have

h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² + (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

collecting like terms, we have

h² - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

Factorizing, we have

[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²

So, h² = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

taking square-root of both sides, we have

√h² = √[(1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²R²/[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]]

h = (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)R/√[1 - (1 - 2mgε₀/Qs)²]

A horizontal compass is placed 21 cm due south from a straight vertical wire carrying a 36 a current downward. in what direction

Anit [1.1K]

The needle of a compass will always lies along the magnetic field lines of the earth.
A magnetic declination at a point on the earth’s surface equal to zero implies that
the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field line at that specific point lies along
the line of the north-south magnetic poles.

The presence of a current-carrying wire creates an additional 
magnetic field that combines with the earth’s magnetic field. Since magnetic
fields are vector quantities, therefore the magnetic field of the earth and the magnetic field of the vertical wire must be combined vectorially.

Where:

B1 = magnetic field of the earth along the x-axis = 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

B2 = magnetic field due to the straight vertical wire along the y-axis

We can calculate for B2 using Amperes Law:

B2 = μ₀ i / [ 2 π R ]

B2 = [ 4π × 10 ⁻ ⁷ T • m / A ] ( 36 A ) / [ 2 π (0.21 m ) ] 
B2 = 5.97 × 10 ⁻ ⁵ T = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T

The angle can be calculated using tan function:
tan θ = y / x = B₂ / B₁ = 0.60 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T / 0.45 × 10 ⁻ ⁴ T 
tan θ = 1.326

θ = 53°

The compass needle points along the direction of 53° west of north.

A 40.0 kg beam is attached to a wall with a hi.nge and its far end is supported by a cable. The angle between the beam and the c

irinina [24]

288.51 N is the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi.nge.

Given

Mass 0f beam = 40 Kg

The horizontal component of the force exerted by the hi_nge on the beam is 86.62 N

Angle between the beam and cable is = 90°

Angle between beam and the horizontal component = 31°

As the system of the beam, hi_nge and cable are in equilibrium.

The magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge can be calculated by -

F =The horizontal component of force + the vertical component of force

F = 86.62 N + 40 × 9.8 × sin 31°

F =86.62 N + 201.89 N

F = 288.51 N

Hence, the magnitude of the force that the beam exerts on the hi_nge is 288.51 N.
