Calculate the electric field at the center of a square

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}

The Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge q_1.

Explanation:

Given:

  • side of a square, a=52.5\ cm
  • charge on one corner of the square, q_1=+45\times 10^{-6}\ C
  • charge on the remaining 3 corners of the square,q_2=q_3=q_4=-27\times 10^{-6}\ C

<u>Distance of the center from each corners</u>=\frac{1}{2} \times diagonals

diagonal=\sqrt{52.5^2+52.5^2}

diagonal=74.25\cm=0.7425\ m

∴Distance of center from corners, b=0.3712\ m

Now, electric field due to charges is given as:

E=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\times \frac{q}{b^2}

<u>For charge q_1 we have the field lines emerging out of the charge since it is positively charged:</u>

E_1=9\times 10^9\times \frac{45\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}

  • E_1=2938775.5\ N.C^{-1}

<u>Force by each of the charges at the remaining corners:</u>

E_2=E_3=E_4=9\times 10^9\times \frac{27\times 10^{-6}}{0.3712^2}

  • E_2=E_3=E_4=1763265.3\ N.C^{-1}

<u> Now, net electric field in the vertical direction:</u>

E_y=E_1-E_4

E_y=1175510.2\ N.C^{-1}

<u>Now, net electric field in the horizontal direction:</u>

E_y=E_2-E_3

E_y=0\ N.C^{-1}

So the Magnitude of electric field is in the upward direction as shown directly towards the charge q_1.

A missile is fired from a jet flying horizontally at Mach 1 (1100 ft/s). The missile has a horizontal acceleration of 1000 ft/s2
nadezda [96]
Answer: 11,100 ft/s^2

1) Constant acceleration=> uniformly accelerated motion.

2)  Formula for uniformly accelerated motion:

Vf = Vo + at

3) Data:

Vo = 1,100 ft/s
a = 1,000 ft/s^2
t = 10.0 s

4) Solution:

Vf = 1,100 ft/s + 1,000 ft/s^2 * 10.0 s = 1,100 ft/s + 10,000 ft/s

Vf = 11,100 ft/s

A person is riding on a Ferris wheel. When the wheel makes one complete turn, the net work done on the person by the gravitation
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Vertical height from the ground

F = Force = Weight = mg

Net work done would be

W_n=W_{up}+W_{down}\\\Rightarrow W_n=Fdcos180+Fdcos0\\\Rightarrow W_n=-mgd+mgd\\\Rightarrow W_n=0

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0
