Answer:

The magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge is $7.2\times10^{-15}\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 1500 N/C

Charge = 30 e

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge

Using formula of electrostatic force

$F=Eq$

Where, F = force

E = electric field

q = charge

Put the value into the formula

$F=1500\times30\times1.6\times10^{-19}$

$F=7.2\times10^{-15}\ N$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric force on a protein with this charge is $7.2\times10^{-15}\ N$

A tube of mercury with resistivity 9.84 × 10 -7 Ω ∙ m has an electric field inside the column of mercury of magnitude 23 N/C tha

slava [35]

Answer:

The current through the tube is 73.39A.

Explanation:

The relationship between the resistivity $\rho$ , the electric field $E$ , and the current density $J$ is given by

$\rho = \dfrac{E}{J}$

This equation can be solved for $J$ to get:

$J = \dfrac{E}{\rho}$

Since the current is $I = J\cdot A$

$I= J\cdot A = \dfrac{E}{\rho} \cdot A$

Now, for the tube of mercury $\rho = 9.84*10^{-7}\: \Omega \cdot m$ , $E = 23N/C$ , and the area is $A = \pi r^2 = \pi (1.0*10^{-3}m)^2 = 3.14*10^{-6}m^2$ ; therefore,

$I= \dfrac{23N/C}{9.84*10^{-7}\Omega\cdot m } *3.14*10^{-6}m^2$

$\boxed{I = 73.39A.}$

Hence, the current through the mercury tube is 73.39A.

Dx= 7.14m and Dy = -7.55m<br> What is the direction and magnitude of the vector

KengaRu [80]

The Magnitude of the Vector is 10.39m and the direction of the vector is - 46.7°.

<u>Explanation:</u>

GIven dx=7.14m and dy= -7.55m,

The Magnitude of the Vector= $\sqrt{dy^{2} +dx^{2} }$

Magnitude d= $\sqrt{(7.14)^{2} +(-7.55)^{2} }$ .

d= $\sqrt{50.97+57}$

d= $\sqrt{107.98}$

d= 10.39m.

Direction Ф = $tan^{-1}$ $\frac{dy}{dx}$

= $tan^{-1}$ $\frac{-7.55}{7.14}$

= $tan^{-1}$ (-1.06)

Ф = - 46.7°.

In a double-slit interference experiment, the wavelength is λ = 432 nm, the slit separation is d = 0.100 mm, and the screen is d

andrew-mc [135]

In the double-slit interference experiment, the distance of the nth-maximum from the center of the screen is given by
$y= \frac{n \lambda D}{d}$
where
$\lambda$ is the wavelength
D is the distance between the screen and the slits
d is the distance between the slits

In our problem,
$\lambda=432 nm= 432 \cdot 10^{-9} m$
$D=42.0 cm=0.42 m$
$d=0.100 mm=0.1 \cdot 10^{-3} m$

By applying the previous formula, we can calculate the distance of the 4th maximum from the center of the screen:
$y_4 = \frac{(4)(432 \cdot 10^{-9} m)(0.42 m)}{(0.1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}=7.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m$

Similarly, the distance of the 8th- maximum is
$y_8 = \frac{(8)(432 \cdot 10^{-9} m)(0.42 m)}{(0.1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}=14.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$

Therefore, the distance between the two maxima is
$\Delta y=y_8- y_4 = 14.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m- 7.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m =7.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m = 7.25 mm$
