Two equal magnitude electric charges are separated by a distance d. The electric potential at the midpoint between these two cha

Ann [662]

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

An automobile steering wheel is shown. What is the ideal mechanical advantage? If the AMA is 8, what is the efficiency of the st

Mars2501 [29]

1. Ideal Mechanical Advantage (IMA): 9

Explanation:

For a wheel and axle system like the steering wheel, the IMA is given by:

$IMA=\frac{r_w}{r_a}$

where

$r_w$ is the radius of the wheel

$r_a$ is the radius of the axle

For the steering wheel of the problem, we see that $r_w = 18 cm$ and $r_a=2 cm$ , so the IMA is

$IMA=\frac{18 cm}{2 cm}=9$

2. Efficiency: 88.9%

Explanation:

The efficiency of a system is defined as the ratio between the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) and the IMA:

$\eta=\frac{AMA}{IMA}\cdot 100$

In this problem, AMA=8 and IMA=9, so the efficiency is

$\eta=\frac{8}{9}\cdot 100=88.9\%$

Light of wavelength 476.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.29 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen

stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance is $D = 2.6 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the light is $\lambda = 476.1 \ nm = 476.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The distance between the slit is $d = 0.29 \ mm = 0.29 *10^{-3} \ m$

The between the first and second dark fringes is $y = 4.2 \ mm = 4.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

Generally fringe width is mathematically represented as

$y = \frac{\lambda * D }{d}$

Where D is the distance of the slit to the screen

Hence

$D = \frac{y * d}{\lambda }$

substituting values

$D = \frac{ 4.2 *10^{-3} * 0.29 *10^{-3}}{ 476.1 *10^{-9} }$

$D = 2.6 \ m$

A student pushes a 2.85 kg cart causing it to accelerate at a rate of 4.9 m/s squared .What amount of force must the student hav

uysha [10]

In order to find the force (F), you would have to use the formula for it:
F=ma
where m is mass and a is acceleration.
In the problem, the mass is 2.85kg and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2.
Therefore,
F=2.85kg(4.9m/s^2)
F=13.965kg(m/s^2)
Since N=kg(m/s^2)
F=13.965N
And because the problem requires that we use only 2 significant figures,
F=13N
Therefore, the student must exert 13N of force.
