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

Question 2 of 25
True [87]

Answer: The symbol representing  the result of a  gas expanding against a constant pressure is W

Explanation:

According to first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be destroyed nor created but rather transferred to one place to another and converted to and from other energy forms.

The mathematical form of first law of thermodynamics is:

\Delta U=q+W

where \Delta U = change in internal energy

q = heat absorbed or released

W = work  (W= P\Delta V)

P = pressure

\Delta V = volume change

Thus the changes in heat or work leads to change in internal energy.

A pure sound wave, generated by a tuning fork, is considered a periodic wave. Which statement is true for this tuning fork sound
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer : Every wave has the same wave pattern.

Explanation : A pure sound wave has a single frequency and its generated by a tuning fork . The sound wave is a  simple periodic wave.

When an object such as a guitar push and pull on the around it. When it pushes on the air, then the pressure increases and when it pull on the air,  then the pressure decreases and sound waves are formed.

Hence, sound wave has the same wave pattern.
