An electron experiences a force of magnitude F when it is 5 cm from a very long, charged wire with linear charge density, lambda

. If the charge density is doubled, at what distance from the wire will a proton experience a force of the same magnitude F?

Answer:

The  distance of the proton is  r_p    =10 \ cm

Explanation:

Generally the force experience by the electron is mathematically represented as

         F_e  =  \frac{q *  \lambda_e }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_e}

 Where  \lambda _e is the charge density of the charge wire before it is doubled

         

Also the force experience by the proton is mathematically represented as

         F_p  =  \frac{q *  \lambda_p }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_p}

Given that the charge density is doubled i.e \lambda_p  =  2 \lambda_e and that the the force are  equal then

      \frac{q *  \lambda_e }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_e} =   \frac{q *  2 \lambda_e }{ 2 \pi *  \epsilon_o  * r_p}

      \frac{ \lambda_e }{    r_e} =   \frac{  2 \lambda_e }{  r_p}

      r_p  * \lambda_e  =2 \lambda_e * r_e

       r_p    =2 r_e

Now given from the question that  r_e the distance of the electron from the charged wire is  5 cm

 Then  

        r_p    =2 (5)

         r_p    =10 \ cm

The coefficient of linear expansion of copper is 17 x 10^-6 K-1. A block of copper 30 cm wide, 45 cm long, and 10 cm thick is he
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The change in volume is 6.885\times 10^{- 5}\

Solution:

As per the question:

Coefficient of linear expansion of Copper, \alpha = 17\times 10^{- 6}\ K^{- 1}

Initial Temperature, T = 0^{\circ} = 273 K

Final Temperature, T' = 100^{\circ} = 273 + 100 = 373 K

Now,

Initial Volume of the block, V = 30\times 45\times 10\times 10^{- 6}\ m^{3} = 0.0135\ m^{3}

V' = V(1 + \gamma \Delta T)

\gamma = 3\alpha

V' = V(1 + 3\alpha \Delta T)

where

V' = Final volume

V' - V= 0.0135\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (T' - T))

\Delta V= 0.0135\times 3\times 17\times 10^{- 6} \times (373 - 273)) = 6.885\times 10^{- 5}\

Solve for the length of the inclined plane if the angle equals 19.45 degrees.
mel-nik [20]

The length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

The situation forms a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right triangle</h3>

Right triangle have one of its angle as 90 degrees.

Therefore,

The length of the inclined plane is the hypotenuse of the triangle. The length of the inclined plane can be found using trigonometric ratios.

height = 4 ft

angle(∅) = 19.45°

sin 19.45 = 4 / h

h = 4 / 0.33298412235

h = 12.0125847796

h = 12 ft

Therefore, the length of the inclined plane is approximately 12 ft

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Final mass=0.89kg

Final pressure=5.6bar

Explanation:

To find mass,m=v/v1

But v1=vf + x(vg-vf)

Vf= 0.001093m^3/kg

Vg= 0.3748m^3/kg

V1= 0.001093+0.5(0.3748-0.001093)

V1= 0.225m^3/kg

M= 0.20/0.225 =0.89kg

Final pressure will be:

V/V1= P/P1

Cross multiply

VP1=V1P

P1= 0.225×5/0.2

P1=:5.6 bar
