Two particles each have the same mass but particle #1 has four times the charge of particle #2. Particle #1 is accelerated from

rest through a potential difference of 10 V and attains speed v. Particle #2 is accelerated from rest also through a potential difference of 10 V. What speed does particle #2 attain?

Answer:

 v_2 = 2*v  

Explanation:

Given:

- Mass of both charges = m

- Charge 1 = Q_1

- Speed of particle 1 = v

- Charge 2 = 4*Q_1

- Potential difference p.d = 10 V

Find:

What speed does particle #2 attain?

Solution:

- The force on a charged particle in an electric field is given by:

                                       F = Q*V / r

Where, r is the distance from one end to another.

- The Net force acting on a charge accelerates it according to the Newton's second equation of motion:

                                      F_net = m*a

- Equate the two expressions:

                                      a = Q*V / m*r

- The speed of the particle in an electric field is given by third kinetic equation of motion.

                                      v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2*a*r

Where, v_f is the final velocity,

            v_i is the initial velocity = 0

                                      v_f^2 - 0 = 2*a*r

Substitute the expression for acceleration in equation of motion:

                                       v_f^2 = 2*(Q*V / m*r)*r

                                       v_f^2 = 2*Q*V / m

                                       v_f = sqrt (2*Q*V / m)

- The velocity of first particle is v:

                                       v = sqrt (20*Q / m)

- The velocity of second particle Q = 4Q

                                       v_2 = sqrt (20*4*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*sqrt (20*Q / m)

                                       v_2 = 2*v

Describe a technology used in space exploration.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

High speed optical communication technology

To be able to communicate from the space to the earth and from earth to space is one of the most essential features required during space exploration.

Explanation:

Space exploration involves going into the space, beyond the earth's atmosphere. Landing on other planets and studying their details, going into deeper space beyond the planets to discover new cosmic events or structures is all a part of space exploration.

The key to analyse the studies and observations is being able to communicate the data collected, photos taken etc to the launch centers or space centers on earth. The space centers on earth should also be able to communicate with the persons or the satellites in space.

This is made possible using the optical communication technology which involves the use of optical fibers, lasers etc, since high speeds are more efficient during communication

If the focal length of a concave mirror is 18cm, find its radius of curvature.
Galina-37 [17]

Given :

The focal length of a concave mirror is 18 cm.

To Find :

The radius of curvature of the concave mirror.

Solution :

We know,

\text{Focal length}=\dfrac{\text{Radius of curvature}}{2}\\\\F=\dfrac{R}{2}\\\\R = 18\times 2\ cm\\\\R = 36 \ cm

Therefore, the radius of curvature of concave mirror is 36 cm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A block weighing 10 newtons is resting on a plane inclined 30° to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the normal force acti
aleksley [76]

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block is 7 N

Explanation:

10N = 1.02kg

Mass of the block = m = 1.02 kg

Angle of incline Θ =  30°

Normal force acting on the block = N

From the free body diagram,

N = mgCos Θ

N = (1.02)(9.81)Cos(30)

N = 8.66 N

Rounding off to nearest whole number,

N = 7 N

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block = 7 N
