The electric field at the point x=5.00cm and y=0 points in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 10.0 N/C . At the point

x=10.0cm and y=0 the electric field points in the positive x direction with a magnitude of 17.0 N/C . Assume this electric field is produced by a single point charge. Part AFind the charge's location.Part BFind the magnitude of the charge.

Answer:

(A). The location of the charge is 26.45 cm.

(B). The magnitude of the charge is 51.1 pC.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance in x axis = 5.00 cm

Electric field = 10.0 N/C

Distance in x axis = 10.0 cm

Electric field = 17.0 N/C

Since, q is the same charge, two formulas can be set equal using the two different electric fields.

(a). We need to calculate the location of the charge

Using formula of force

F = qE....(I)

Using formula of electric force

F =\dfrac{kq^2}{d^2}....(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

qE=\dfrac{kq^2}{d^2}

E=\dfrac{kq}{d^2}

q=\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}...(III)

For both points,

\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}=\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}

Put the value into the formula

\dfrac{10.0\times(x-5.00)^2}{k}=\dfrac{17.0\times(x-10.0)^2}{k}

10.0\times(x-5.0)^2=17.0\times(x-10.0)^2

Take the square root of both sides

3.162(x-5.0)=4.123(x-10.0)

3.162x-3.162\times5.0=4.123x-4.123\times10.0

3.162x-4.123x=-4.123\times10.0+3.162\times5.0

0.961x=25.42

x=\dfrac{25.42}{0.961}

x=26.45\ cm

(B). We need to calculate the charge

Using equation (III)

q=\dfrac{E(x-r)^2}{k}

Put the value into the formula

q=\dfrac{10.0(26.45\times10^{-2}-5.00\times10^{-2})^2}{9\times10^{9}}

q=5.11\times10^{-11}\ C

q=51.1\ pC

Hence, (A). The location of the charge is 26.45 cm.

(B). The magnitude of the charge is 51.1 pC.

Neon atoms at 245 K pass through a fan that gives each mole of neon gas an additional kinetic energy of 16.0 J. Part A What is t
hjlf

Answer:

246.28 K

Explanation:

The total energy of one mole of gas molecules can be calculated by the formula given below

E = \frac{3}{2}\times R\times T

Where R is gas constant and T is absolute temperature.

Put the value of R as 8.314 and temperature as 245 , we get

E = \frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times 245

= 3055.4 J

Add 16 j to it

Total energy of gas molecules = 3055.4 + 16 = 3071.4 J.

If T be the temperature after addition of energy then

\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times T = 3071.4

T =\frac{2\times 3071.4}{3\times 8.314}

T = 246.28 K

An airplane travels 4000m in 16 seconds on a heading of 35 whats is its velocity
Marizza181 [45]

In the question, you just gave a complete and detailed
description of the plane's velocity vector:

       4,000/16  meters/second , heading 35 degrees .

You might want to simplify the speed and make it a unit rate,
but otherwise, it's perfect.

         250 meters/second, heading 35 degrees .

a plane travels 204 km, northeast in 15.0 minutes. It also increases elevation by 1.6 km, upward in the same amount of time. Wha
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

230 m/s northeast, 1.8 m/s up

Explanation:

204 kilometres = 204000 metres

15.0 minutes = 900 seconds

Velocity = Distance / Time

= 204000 / 900

= 230 m/s northeast (to 2 sf.)

1.6km = 1600 metres

Velocity = 1600 / 900

= 1.8 m/s up (to 2 sf.)
