Hi there,

Unlike velocity,speed is scalar,which means it is described by MAGNITUDE only.

Answer:

magnitude

Explanation:

There are two types of quantities.

Scalars: The quantities which are completely described by their magnitudes only are called scalars.

For example, mass, length, time, speed, temperature, etc.

Vectors: The quantities which are completely explained by their magnitude and direction both are called vectors. For example, velocity, weight, force, momentum, etc.

As speed is a scalar quantity so it can be completely described by their magnitude only.

Light passes from a material A, which has an index of refraction of 4/3, into material B, which has an index of refraction of 5/
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

(b) 32.2°

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 30.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (Material B, n=5 / 4)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (Material A, n=4 / 3)

Hence,  

{\frac {4}{3}}\times {sin30.0^0}={\frac {5}{4}}\times{sin\theta_r}

Angle of refraction = sin^{-1}0.5333 = 32.2°

Two particles, each with charge 55.3 nC, are located on the y axis at y 24.9 cm and y -24.9cm (a) Find the vector electric field
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Ex = kq 2x / ∛ (x² + y²)²  and  Ex = 2008 N / C

Explanation:

a)   The electric field is a vector quantity, so we must find the field for each particle and add them vectorially, as the whole process is on the X axis,

The equation for the electric field produced by a point charge is

         E = k q / r²

With r the distance between the point charge and the positive test charge

We look for each electric field

Particle 1.  Located at y = 24.9 m, let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance

          r² = x² + y²

          E1 = k q / (x² + y²)

Particle 2.   located at x = -24.9 m

          r² = x² + y²

          E2 = k q / (x² + y²)

We can see that the two fields are equal since the particles have the same charge and coordinate it and that is squared.

In the attached one we can see that the Y components of the electric fields created by each particle are always the same and it is canceled, so we only have to add the X components of the electric fields. Let's use Pythagoras' theorem to find

Let's measure the angle from axis X

     cos θ = CA / H = x / (x2 + y2) ½

     E1x = E1 cos θ

      E2x = = E1 cos θ

The resulting field

      Ey = 0

      Ex = E1x + E2x 2 E1x

      Ex = 2 k q / (x² + y²) cos θ) = 2 k q / (x² + y²) x / √(x² + x²)

      Ex = kq 2x / ∛ (x² + y²)²

b) For this part we substitute the numerical values

      Ex = 8.99 10⁹ 55.3 10⁻⁹ x / (x² + 0.249 2) ³/₂

      Ex = 497.15   x / (x² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

Point where can the value of the electric field x = 38.1 cm = 0.381 m

       Ex = 497.15 0.381 / (0.381² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

       Ex = 497.15 0.381 / (0.1452 + 0.062) 3/2 = 189.41 / 0.2072 3/2

       Ex= 189.41 /0.0943

       Ex = 2008 N / C

c)  E = 1.00 kN / C = 1000 N / C

To solve this part we must find x in the equation

       Ex = 497.15 x / (x² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

Let's use some arithmetic

       Ex / 497.15 = x / (x² + 0.062)  ³/₂  

       [Ex / 497.15] ²/₃ = [x / (x² + 0.062) 3/2] ²/₃

       ∛[Ex / 497.15]² = (∛x²) / (x² + 0.062)                 (1)

The roots of this equation are the solution to the problem,

     

For Ex = 1.00 kN / C = 1000 N / C

 

      [Ex / 497.15] 2/3 = 1000 / 497.15) 2/3 = 1,312

       1.312 = (∛x² ) / (x² + 0.062)

       1.312 (x² + 0.062) = ∛x²

       1.312 X² - ∛x² + 1.312 0.062 = 0

       1.312 X² - ∛x² + 0.0813 = 0
