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

Calculate the average times it took the car to travel 0. 25 and 0. 50 meters. Record the averages, to two decimal places, in Tab
Illusion [34]

The average speed of the given car is 2.22 s and 3.13 s for 0.25 m and 0.50 m distance respectively.

<h3>How to calculate the Average speed?</h3>

The average speed can be calculated by adding the speed of each trial divided by the number of trials,

For 0.25 m the average speed will be:

S_{avg} = \dfrac{2.24 + 2.21 + 2.23}{ 3}\\\\S_{avg} = 2.22

For the 0.50 m, the average speed will:

S_{avg} = \dfrac {3.16 + 3.08 + 3.15} {3 }\\\\S_{avg}  = 3.13\rm \  s

Therefore, the average speed of the given car is 2.22 s and 3.13 s for 0.25 m and 0.50 m distance respectively.

John runs around a 126.5 m circular track 3.5 times in 4.17 minutes. What is his average speed?
sdas [7]
Average speed = distance traveled / time

average speed  = (126.5 m * 3.5 laps) / (4.17 min)

= 106.2 m/min

I need the answer to this question what has the student plotted on the vertical axis?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is D

Explanation:

In trying to achieve what the student wanted to see, which is to see the relationship between the weight the cord can hold and how long the cord will stretch. Since the origin of the graph is from zero, the value plotted on the vertical axis would be just the length caused by each weights. Thus, <u>the original length would have to be subtracted from the measured length to determine the actual length caused by the weight added to the cord</u>.
