A charge Q is uniformly spread over one surface of a very large nonconducting square elastic sheet having sides of length d. At

a point P that is 1.25 cm outside the sheet, the magnitude of the electric field due to the sheet is E. If the sheet is now stretched so that its sides have length 2 d, what is the magnitude of the electric field at P

The electric field of a very large (essentially infinitely large) plane of charge is given by:

E = σ/(2ε₀)

E is the electric field, σ is the surface charge density, and ε₀ is the electric constant.

To determine σ:

σ = Q/A

Where Q is the total charge of the sheet and A is the sheet's area. The sheet is a square with a side length d, so A = d²:

σ = Q/d²

Make this substitution in the equation for E:

E = Q/(2ε₀d²)

We see that E is inversely proportional to the square of d:

E ∝ 1/d²

The electric field at P has some magnitude E. Now we double the side length of the sheet while keeping the same amount of charge Q distributed over the sheet. By the relationship of E with d, the electric field at P must now have a quarter of its original magnitude:

E_{new} = E/4

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
Wewaii [24]
The correct option is A.
Fluorescent lamps have many advantages over incandescent lamps and the options given in B, C and D are part of these advantages. The option given in A is a disadvantage and not an advantage. This is because, as a result of operating at an higher temperature, it will gives out and radiate more heat.

A disk 7.90 cm in radius rotates at a constant rate of 1 190 rev/min about its central axis. (a) Determine its angular speed. 12
Tanya [424]

Answer:

124.62\ \text{rad/s}

3.71\ \text{m/s}

1.23\ \text{km/s}^2

20.28\ \text{m}

Explanation:

r = Radius of disk = 7.9 cm

N = Number of revolution per minute = 1190 rev/minute

Angular speed is given by

\omega=N\dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=1190\times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}\\\Rightarrow \omega=124.62\ \text{rad/s}

The angular speed is 124.62\ \text{rad/s}

r = 2.98 cm

Tangential speed is given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=2.98\times 10^{-2}\times 124.62\\\Rightarrow v=3.71\ \text{m/s}

Tangential speed at the required point is 3.71\ \text{m/s}

Radial acceleration is given by

a=\omega^2r\\\Rightarrow a=124.62^2\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\\\Rightarrow a=1226.88\approx 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2

The radial acceleration is 1.23\ \text{km/s}^2.

t = Time = 2.06 s

Distance traveled is given by

d=vt\\\Rightarrow d=\omega rt\\\Rightarrow d=124.62\times 7.9\times 10^{-2}\times 2.06\\\Rightarrow d=20.28\ \text{m}

The total distance a point on the rim moves in the required time is 20.28\ \text{m}.

A quantity that has direction as well as size is a scalar.<br><br><br> True or False
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

A quantity that does not depend on the direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude, and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Scalar quantities only have magnitude (size). Scalar quantities include distance...

A quantity that is specified by both size and direction is a vector. Displacement includes both size and direction and is an example of a vector. However, distance is a physical quantity that does not include a direction and isn't a vector.

Explanation:

hope this helps...

A 0.20 kg mass on a horizontal spring is pulled back a certain distance and released. The maximum speed of the mass is measured
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

b. 0.20 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial mass, m = 0.2 kg

maximum speed,  v = 0.3 m/s

The total energy of the spring at the given maximum speed is calculated as;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = 0.5 x 0.2 x 0.3²

K.E = 0.009 J

If the mass is changed to 0.4 kg

¹/₂mv² = K.E

mv² = 2K.E

v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m} } \\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.009}{0.4} } \\\\v = 0.21 \ m/s\\\\v \approx 0.20 \ m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed is 0.20 m/s
