Complete Question

A very large sheet of a conductor carries a uniform charge density of $4.00\ pC/mm^2$ on its surfaces. What is the electric field strength 3.00 mm outside the surface of the conductor?

Answer:

The electric field is $E = 4.5198 *10^{5} \ N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge density is $\sigma = 4.00pC /mm^2 = 4.00 * 10^{-12 } * 10^{6} = 4.00 *10^{-6}C/m$

The position outside the surface is $a = 3.00 \ mm = 0.003 \ m$

Generally the electric field is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{\epsilon _o }$

Where $\epsilon_o$ is the permitivity of free space with values $\epsilon _o = 8.85 *10^{-12} F/m$

substituting values

$E = \frac{4.0*10^{-6}}{8.85 *10^{-12} }$

$E = 4.5198 *10^{5} \ N/C$

Two charges are located in the x – y plane. If ????1=−4.10 nC and is located at (x=0.00 m,y=0.600 m) , and the second charge has

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

The y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Charge on first charged particle, $q_1=-4.10\ nC=-4.10\times 10^{-9}\ C.$
Charge on the second charged particle, $q_2=3.80\ nC=3.80\times 10^{-9}\ C.$

Position of the first charge = $(x_1=0.00\ m,\ y_1=0.600\ m).$
Position of the second charge = $(x_2=1.50\ m,\ y_2=0.650\ m).$

The electric field at a point due to a charge $q$ at a point $r$ distance away is given by

$\vec E = \dfrac{kq}{|\vec r|^2}\ \hat r.$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant, having value $\rm 8.99\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.$

$\vec r$ = position vector of the point where the electric field is to be found with respect to the position of the charge $q$ .

$\hat r$ = unit vector along $\vec r$ .

The electric field at the origin due to first charge is given by

$\vec E_1 = \dfrac{kq_1}{|\vec r_1|^2}\ \hat r_1.$

$\vec r_1$ is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the first charge.

Assuming, $\hat i,\ \hat j$ are the units vectors along x and y axes respectively.

$\vec r_1=(0-x_1)\hat i+(0-y_1)\hat j\\=(0-0)\hat i+(0-0.6)\hat j\\=-0.6\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_1| = 0.6\ m.\\\hat r_1=\dfrac{\vec r_1}{|\vec r_1|}=\dfrac{0.6\ \hat j}{0.6}=-\hat j.$

Using these values,

$\vec E_1 = \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (-4.10\times 10^{-9})}{(0.6)^2}\ (-\hat j)=1.025\times 10^2\ N/C\ \hat j.$

The electric field at the origin due to the second charge is given by

$\vec E_2 = \dfrac{kq_2}{|\vec r_2|^2}\ \hat r_2.$

$\vec r_2$ is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the second charge.

$\vec r_2=(0-x_2)\hat i+(0-y_2)\hat j\\=(0-1.50)\hat i+(0-0.650)\hat j\\=-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_2| = \sqrt{(-1.5)^2+(-0.65)^2}=1.635\ m.\\\hat r_2=\dfrac{\vec r_2}{|\vec r_2|}=\dfrac{-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j}{1.634}=-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j.$

Using these values,

$\vec E_2= \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (3.80\times 10^{-9})}{(1.635)^2}(-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j) =-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j\ N/C.$

The net electric field at the origin due to both the charges is given by

$\vec E = \vec E_1+\vec E_2\\=(102.5\ \hat j)+(-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j)\\=-11.74\ \hat i+(102.5-5.09)\hat j\\=(-11.74\ \hat i+97.41\ \hat j)\ N/C.$

Thus,

x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

Answer:

a) $a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

b) $V(t)=4\,t\,+3$

c) $V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s} \\$

d) Displacement = 22 m

e) Average speed = 11 m/s

Explanation:

a)

Notice that the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function, which in this case, being a straight line is constant everywhere, and which can be calculated as:

$slope= \frac{15=3}{3-0} =4\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

Therefore, acceleration is $a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

b) the functional expression for this line of slope 4 that passes through a y-intercept at (0, 3) is given by:

$y=m\,x+b\\V(t)=4\,t\,+3$

c) Since we know the general formula for the velocity, now we can estimate it at any value for 't", for example for the requested t = 1 second:

$V(t)= 4\,t+3\\V(1)=4\,(1)+3\\V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s}$

d) The displacement between times t = 1 sec, and t = 3 seconds is given by the area under the velocity curve between these two time values. Since we have a simple trapezoid, we can calculate it directly using geometry and evaluating V(3) (we already know V(1)):

Displacement = $\frac{(7+15)\,2}{2} = 22\,\,m$

e) Recall that the average of a function between two values is the integral (area under the curve) divided by the length of the interval:

Average velocity = $\frac{22}{2} = 11\, \,\frac{m}{s}$

A billiard ball moving at 0.5 m/s strikes another identical billiard ball, which is at rest, in an elastic head-on collision on

NikAS [45]

Answer: assuming that the billiard balls are of identical weight the impacted billiard ball will move forward at around 0.5m/s (not considering energy conservation). The ball impacting the 2nd one would stop because most of its Kinetic energy would have been transferred into the not moving ball.

Explanation: hope this helps!
