Honeybees acquire a charge while flying due to friction with the air. A 100 mg bee with a charge of +23 pC experiences an electr

ic force in the earth’s electric field, which is typically 100 N/C, directed downward.
a) What is the ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee's weight?
b) What electric field strength would allow the bee to hang suspended in the air? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

(A) ratio of electric force to weight will be  23.469\times 10^{-10}

(b) Electric field will be E=4.26\times 10^{10}N/C

Explanation:

We have given mass of bee = 100 mg  = m=100\times 10^{-3}=0.1kg

Charge on bee q=23pC=23\times 10^{-12}C

Electric field E = 100 N/C

Weight of the bee W=mg=0.1\times 9.8=0.98N

Electric force on the bee F=qE=23\times 10^{-12}\times 100=23\times 10^{-10}N

So the ratio of electric force on the bee and weight is =\frac{F}{W}=\frac{23\times 10^{-10}}{0.98}=23.469\times 10^{-10}

(B) To hold the bee in air electric force must be equal to weight of bee

So mg=qE

0.1\times 9.8=23\times 10^{-12}E

E=4.26\times 10^{10}N/C

Explanation:

Momentum is mass times speed.

p = mv

a) p = (1500 kg) (25.0 m/s) = 37,500 kg m/s

b) p = (40,000 kg) (1.00 m/s) = 40,000 kg m/s

The truck has more linear momentum.

Momentum in the y direction:

pᵧ = (1500 kg) (25.0 m/s) = 37,500 kg m/s

Momentum in the x direction:

pₓ = (1500 kg) (15.0 m/s) = 22,500 kg m/s

Total linear momentum:

p² = pₓ² + pᵧ²

p² = (22,500 kg m/s)² + (37,500 kg m/s)²

p = 43,700 kg m/s

The state of strain at a point is plane strain with εx = ε0, εy = –2ε0, γxy = 0, where ε0 is a positive constant. What is the no
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The normal strain along an axis oriented 45° from the positive x axis in the clockwise direction is -ε₀/2

Explanation:

Given that

\epsilon_{x}=\epsilon_{o}\\\\\epsilon_{y}=-2\epsilon_{o}\\\\\gamma_{xy}=0\\\\\theta=-45^{o}\\\\\epsilon_{x_{1}}=?

From equation of normal strain in x direction:

\epsilon_{x_{1}}=\epsilon_{x}cos^{2}\theta+\epsilon_{y}sin^{2}\theta+\gamma_{xy{ sin\theta cos\theta

Substituting the values:

\epsilon_{x_{1}}=\epsilon_{o}cos^{2}(-45)-2\epsilon_{o}sin^{2}(-45)+0\\\\\epsilon_{x_{1}}=\frac{\epsilon_{o}}{2}-2\frac{\epsilon_{o}}{2}\\\\\epsilon_{x_{1}}=-\frac{\epsilon_{o}}{2}

Moving the probe 1 cm towards the non-grounded electrode changes the value the potential from about 0.90 V to about 1.2 V. Expla
svp [43]

Answer:

-30 N/C

Explanation:

Since the potential changes from 0.90 V to 1.2 V when I move the probe 1 cm closer to the non-grounded electrode, the electric field is the gradient between the two points is given by E = -ΔV/Δx where ΔV = change in electric potential and Δx = distance of potential change = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Now ΔV = final potential - initial potential = 1.2 V - 0.90 V = 0.30 V

Since E = -ΔV/Δx

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

E = -ΔV/Δx

E = -0.30 V/0.01 m

E = -30 V/m

Since 1 V/m = 1 N/C.

E = -30 N/C

So, the average electric field is -30 N/C
