he surface of the conductor. What is the charge density η on the surface of the conductor at that point?

Answer:

η = -E⋅ε0

Explanation:

(1) Use Gauss's law with a short and flat cylindrical surface

(2) Calculate the flux through the top of the cylinder

Express your answer in terms of A, E, and any needed constants.

→ φtop = -EA

(3) Calculate the flux through the bottom of the box

Answer in terms of A, E, and any needed constants.

→ Φbot = 0

(4) Find the net charge qin inside this Gaussian surface.

→ qin = ηA

(5) Now apply Gauss's law, neglecting any contribution to the flux due to the very short sides of the cylinder. Gauss's law states that ϵ0⋅ΦE=qin. The area A should cancel out of your result.

→ η = -E⋅ε0

Z. A force that gives a 8-kg objet an acceleration of 1.6 m/s^2 would give a 2-kg object an

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D.\ 6.4\ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

We need to find the acceleration of the 2 kilogram object. Let's complete this in 2 steps.

<h3>1. Force of 1st Object </h3>

First, we can find the force of the first, 8 kilogram object.

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F=m \times a$

The mass of the object is 8 kilograms and the acceleration is 1.6 meters per square second.

m= 8 kg
a= 1.6 m/s²

Substitute these values into the formula.

$F= 8 \ kg * 1.6 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F= 12.8 \ kg*m/s^2$

<h3>2. Acceleration of the 2nd Object </h3>

Now, use the force we just calculated to complete the second part of the problem. We use the same formula:

$F= m \times a$

This time, we know the force is 12.8 kilograms meters per square second and the mass is 2 kilograms.

F= 12.8 kg *m/s²
m= 2 kg

Substitute the values into the formula.

$12.8 \ kg*m/s^2= 2 \ kg *a$

Since we are solving for the acceleration, we must isolate the variable (a). It is being multiplied by 2 kg. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 2 kg.

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}= \frac{2\ kg* a}{2 \ kg}$

$\frac {12.8 \ kg*m/s^2}{2 \ kg}=a$

The units of kilograms cancel.

$\frac {12.8}{2}\ m/s^2=a$

$6.4 \ m/s^2=a$

The acceleration is 6.4 meters per square second.

At what height is an object that weighs 490 newtons if its gravitational potential energy is 4900 J?

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

$P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m$

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}$

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}$

$\theta=0.725$

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

$d\sin\theta=n\lambda$

Put the value into the formula

$0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}$

$\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=633\ nm$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.
