Suppose that a charged particle of diameter 1.00 micrometer moves with constant speed in an electric field of magnitude 1.00×105
Dovator [93]
It's a bit of a trick question, had the same one on my homework. You're given an electric field strength (1*10^5 N/C for mine), a drag force (7.25*10^-11 N) and the critical info is that it's moving with constant velocity(the particle is in equilibrium/not accelerating). 
<span>All you need is F=(K*Q1*Q2)/r^2 </span>
<span>Just set F=the drag force and the electric field strength is (K*Q2)/r^2, plugging those values in gives you </span>
<span>(7.25*10^-11 N) = (1*10^5 N/C)*Q1 ---> Q1 = 7.25*10^-16 C </span>

1. A 3.0 kg mass is tied to a rope and swung in a horizontal circle. If the velocity of the mass is 4.0 ms and

32N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the body = 3kg

velocity of the mass = 4m/s

radius of circle = 0.75m

Unknown:

centripetal acceleration = ?

centripetal force = ?

Solution:

The centripetal force is the force that keeps a radial body in its circular motion. It is directed inward:

   Centripetal acceleration  = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

   v is the velocity of the body

    r is the radius of the circle

  putting in the parameters:

   Centripetal acceleration = \frac{4^{2} }{0.75}

    Centripetal acceleration = 10.67m/s²

Centripetal force = m  \frac{v^{2} }{r}

          m is the mass

 Centripetal force = mass x centripetal acceleration

                              = 3 x 10.67

                              = 32N

Which of the fluids below would produce the highest pressure at the bottom of a tank for the same fluid depth?
marishachu [46]
The answer is  a property of density. The higher the density, the higher the pressure at the bottom. 

Pressure = mass / Area. So given that the 4 samples occupy the same area at the bottom, the mass is going to be the determining factor. Per given volume, mercury has the largest mass. The answer is A

Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands into a vacuum? Why does the entropy of a gas increase when it expands int
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The entropy of a gas increases when it expands into a vacuum because the number of possible states increases .

Explanation:

When a gas expand in a vacuum, the molecules of the gases vibrates very fast and starting moving with higher velocity in random directions which means the level of disorder in the gases increases.

Now the possible state of the gas molecule increases such as the particle can be located at different position due to increased randomness.

<u>Entropy is the measure of this randomness and thus with this increased randomness entropy also increases.</u>
