A point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±q separated by a distance s.

The dipole is initially oriented so that the charge Q is located in the plane that bisects the dipole. Assume that r>>s
Immediately after the dipole is released:
a. What is the magnitude of the force on the dipole?
b. What is the magnitude of the torque on the dipole?

Answer:

a) the magnitude of the force is

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3}) and where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b)  the magnitude of the torque on the dipole

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

Explanation:

from coulomb's law

E = \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

where k = 1/4πε₀

the expression of the electric field due to dipole at a distance r is

E(r) = \frac{kp}{r^{3} } , where p = q × s

E(r) = \frac{kqs}{r^{3} } where r>>s

a) find the magnitude of force due to the dipole

F=QE

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3})

where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b) b) magnitude of the torque(τ) on the dipole is dependent on the perpendicular forces

τ = F sinθ × s

θ = 90°

note: sin90° = 1

τ = F × r

recall  F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

∴ τ = (Qqs/4πε₀r³) × r

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

• A cable is suspended over a pulley. A 5.0 kg mass is attached to
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Tension= \frac{20g}{3}  (g=acceleration of gravity)

Explanation:

Given that,

A 5Kg and 10Kg are attached by a cable suspended over a pulley.

As 10Kg > 5Kg , the 10 kg mass accelerates down and the 5kg mass accelerates up, let it be a. Let the tension in the cable be T.

So, the equations of motion are

10g-T = 10a

T-5g=5a

Now adding them we get,

5g=15a

a=\frac{g}{3}

Substituting them back in the equation we get,

10g-10(\frac{g}{3} ) = T

T= \frac{20g}{3}

If a car goes at a speed of 80 kph in 10 seconds, what is the distance
Blababa [14]

Answer:222 meters

Explanation:

Speed=80kph=(80x5/18)=(80x5)/18=22.2m/s

Time=10 seconds

distance=speed x time

distance=22.2 x 10

distance=222

distance=222 meters

How is velocity different from speed?
enyata [817]

Velocity, unlike speed, includes a direction.

Velocity is a vector quantity which is defined by magnitude and direction.

Speed is a scalar quantity. It is the rate at which an object moves regardless of which direction.

If an automobile engine delivers 42.0 hp of power, how much time will it take for the engine to do 6.20 â 105 j of work? (hint:
Elena L [17]
To be able to answer this item, we are to calculate the power that the machine could deliver from hp to kW. 

      (45 hp)(746 W/1 hp) = 33570 W

Power is the amount of energy delivered at a certain period. 

             t = (6.20 x 10^2 J)/ (33570 kJ/s)

             t = 0.01845 s

Olegator [25]

Answer:

I believe the answer is B.

Explanation:

Newton's First Law of Gravity states, "The greater the weight (or mass) of an object, the more inertia it has. Heavy objects are harder to move than light ones because they have more inertia. "
