the positive particle has a charge of 31.7 mC and the particles are 2.80 mm apart, what is the electric field at point A located

vichka [17]

Answer:

the electric field at point A is

E = 5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Explanation:

given

electrostatics constant k = 9.0×10⁹

charge q = 31.7mC= 31.7×10⁻³C

distance r = 2.80mm

distance from midpoint to point A = 2.00mm

attached is the diagram of the solution, describing the position of the charge

note x = r/2, where x is the distance from midpoint of r to the particle

using Pythagoras theorem as in the attachment, x = 2.44mm= 2.44×10⁻³m

the electric field at point A is given as

vector <em>E </em>= 2E×cos θ( -x direction)

recall E =kq/x²

where k is the electrostatics constant = 1/4πε₀

where ε₀ is permittivity of free space

therefore using E =2{kq/x²}cosθ

∴cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cosθ=1.40/2.44

E =2 {(9.0×10⁹ × 31.7×10⁻³) ÷ (2.44×10⁻³)²}×(1.40/2.44)(-x)

E=2{4.79×10¹³}×(0.574)(-x)

E = 2×2.75 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Vector <em>E= </em>5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

What is the wavelength of a monochromatic light beam, where the photon energy is 2.70 × 10^−19 J? (h = 6.63 ×10^−34 J⋅s, c = 3.0

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Wavelength = 736.67 nm

Explanation:

Given

Energy of the photon = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Considering:

$Energy=h\times frequency$

where, h is Plank's constant having value as 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c = frequency × Wavelength

Where, c is the speed of light having value = 3×10⁸ m/s

So, Frequency is:

Frequency = c / Wavelength

So, Formula for energy:

$Energy=h\times \frac {c}{\lambda}$

Energy = 2.70 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

c = 3×10⁸ m/s

h = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Thus, applying in the formula:

$2.70\times 10^{-19}=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times \frac {3\times 10^8}{\lambda}$

Wavelength = 736.67 × 10⁻⁹ m

1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

So,

<u>Wavelength = 736.67 nm</u>

zubka84 [21]

The solution for this problem is computed by through this formula, F = kQq / d²Plugging in the given values above, we can now compute for the answer.
F = 8.98755e9N·m²/C² * -(7e-6C)² / (0.03m)² = -489N, the negative sign denotes attraction.

A binary star system consists of two equal mass stars that revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass. The period of

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$

Explanation:

Given data:

PERIOD OF MOTION IS T = 25.5 days

orbital speeds = 220 km/s

we know that

acceleration due to centripetal force is $a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{V^2}{r}$

Gravitational force $F= \frac{Gm m}{d^2}$

we know that

$v = \frac{2\pi R}{T}$

solving for

$R = \frac{vT}{2\pi}$

$F = \frac{Gm^2}{4(\frac{vT}{2\pi})^2}$

$F = G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2}$

$a = \frac{v^2}{\frac{vT}{2\pi}}$

$a = \frac{2\pi v}{T}$

we know that

f =ma

$G\times \frac{\pi m}{(vT)^2} = a = \frac{2\pi m v}{T}$

solving for m

$m = \frac{2Tv^3}{\pi G}$

$m = \frac{2\times 25.5 \times 86400 \times 220000^3\ m/s}{\pi \times 6.67\times 10^{-11}}$

$m = 2.23 \times 10^{-32} kg$
