6. "The electric field caused by an electron is weakest near the electron" is FALSE.

7. "An electric field becomes weaker as distance from the electron increase" is TRUE.

Explanation:

The "electrical field" covers the electrical charge and exerts, attracts or repels other charges in the field.The electric field caused by an electron is strongest near the electron while it become weak as distance from the electron increase.

The reason behind is, at a point the direction of the field line is at that point the direction of the field. The relative magnitude of the electric field will be proportional to the field line density. The field is strongest where the field lines are near together and when the field lines are at increasing distance the field is weakest.

Multiply the following numbers, using scientific notation and the correct amount of significant digits. 1.003 m⋅3.09 = _____ 3.0

lozanna [386]

Answer

correct answer is 3.10

Explanation:

in this question we have to multiply two numbers 1.003 and 3.09.

1.003 has 4 significant digits and 3.09 has 3 significant digits so answer must have 3 significant digits.

$1.003\times 3.09=3.09927$

$1.003\times 3.09=3.10$

An electron is released from rest on the axis of a uniform positively charged ring, 0.200 m from the ring's center. If the linea

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Velocity of the electron at the centre of the ring, $v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Linear charge density of the ring= $0.1\ \rm \mu C/m$
Radius of the ring R=0.2 m
Distance of point from the centre of the ring=x=0.2 m

Total charge of the ring

$Q=0.1\times2\pi R\\Q=0.1\times2\pi 0.4\\Q=0.251\ \rm \mu C$

Potential due the ring at a distance x from the centre of the rings is given by

$V=\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\$

The potential difference when the electron moves from x=0.2 m to the centre of the ring is given by

$\Delta V=\dfrac{kQ}{R}-\dfrac{kQ}{\sqrt{(R^2+x^2)}}\\\Delta V={9\times10^9\times0.251\times10^{-6}} \left( \dfrac{1}{0.4}-\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{(0.4^2+0.2^2)}} \right )\\\Delta V=5.12\times10^2\ \rm V$

Let $\Delta U$ be the change in potential Energy given by

$\Delta U=e\times \Delta V\\\Delta U=1.67\times10^{-19}\times5.12\times10^{2}\\\Delta U=8.55\times10^{-17}\ \rm J$

Change in Potential Energy of the electron will be equal to the change in kinetic Energy of the electron

$\Delta U=\dfrac{mv^2}{2}\\8.55\times10^{-17}=\dfrac{9.1\times10^{-31}v^2}{2}\\v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

So the electron will be moving with $v=1.37\times10^7\ \rm m/s$

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

$V_a$ = Velocity of airplane in still air

$V_w$ = Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

$V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)$

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

$V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)$

Subtracting the two equations we get

$V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h$

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

$V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h$

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h
