Answer:

Amplitude = 4.725 mm

Explanation:

We have got the following values :

T = 98.4 N

T is the wire tension

v = 406 m/s

v is the transverse waves speed

f = 60.5 Hz

f is the frequency

ΔU = 0.391 W

ΔU is the average power carried by the wave

If μ is the mass per unit length of the wire ⇒ μ = $\frac{T}{v^{2}}$

If ω is the angular frequency of the wire ⇒ ω = 2π.f

So ω = 2π(60.5 Hz) and ω units are $s^{-1}$

The equation that relates all is :

ΔU = (1/2).(T/v^2).(ω^2).(A^2).v

Where A is the wave amplitude

$0.391 W=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{98.4 N}{(406\frac{m}{s})^{2}}.(2.pi.(60.5Hz))^{2}.A^{2}.406\frac{m}{s}$

This will give us A in meters

$A=4.7253(10^{-3})m\\A=4.725 mm$

Two charges are located in the x – y plane. If ????1=−4.10 nC and is located at (x=0.00 m,y=0.600 m) , and the second charge has

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

The y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Charge on first charged particle, $q_1=-4.10\ nC=-4.10\times 10^{-9}\ C.$
Charge on the second charged particle, $q_2=3.80\ nC=3.80\times 10^{-9}\ C.$

Position of the first charge = $(x_1=0.00\ m,\ y_1=0.600\ m).$
Position of the second charge = $(x_2=1.50\ m,\ y_2=0.650\ m).$

The electric field at a point due to a charge $q$ at a point $r$ distance away is given by

$\vec E = \dfrac{kq}{|\vec r|^2}\ \hat r.$

where,

$k$ = Coulomb's constant, having value $\rm 8.99\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.$

$\vec r$ = position vector of the point where the electric field is to be found with respect to the position of the charge $q$ .

$\hat r$ = unit vector along $\vec r$ .

The electric field at the origin due to first charge is given by

$\vec E_1 = \dfrac{kq_1}{|\vec r_1|^2}\ \hat r_1.$

$\vec r_1$ is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the first charge.

Assuming, $\hat i,\ \hat j$ are the units vectors along x and y axes respectively.

$\vec r_1=(0-x_1)\hat i+(0-y_1)\hat j\\=(0-0)\hat i+(0-0.6)\hat j\\=-0.6\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_1| = 0.6\ m.\\\hat r_1=\dfrac{\vec r_1}{|\vec r_1|}=\dfrac{0.6\ \hat j}{0.6}=-\hat j.$

Using these values,

$\vec E_1 = \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (-4.10\times 10^{-9})}{(0.6)^2}\ (-\hat j)=1.025\times 10^2\ N/C\ \hat j.$

The electric field at the origin due to the second charge is given by

$\vec E_2 = \dfrac{kq_2}{|\vec r_2|^2}\ \hat r_2.$

$\vec r_2$ is the position vector of the origin with respect to the position of the second charge.

$\vec r_2=(0-x_2)\hat i+(0-y_2)\hat j\\=(0-1.50)\hat i+(0-0.650)\hat j\\=-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j.\\\\|\vec r_2| = \sqrt{(-1.5)^2+(-0.65)^2}=1.635\ m.\\\hat r_2=\dfrac{\vec r_2}{|\vec r_2|}=\dfrac{-1.5\hat i-0.65\hat j}{1.634}=-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j.$

Using these values,

$\vec E_2= \dfrac{(8.99\times 10^9)\times (3.80\times 10^{-9})}{(1.635)^2}(-0.918\ \hat i-0.398\hat j) =-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j\ N/C.$

The net electric field at the origin due to both the charges is given by

$\vec E = \vec E_1+\vec E_2\\=(102.5\ \hat j)+(-11.74\ \hat i-5.09\ \hat j)\\=-11.74\ \hat i+(102.5-5.09)\hat j\\=(-11.74\ \hat i+97.41\ \hat j)\ N/C.$

Thus,

x-component of the electric field at the origin = -11.74 N/C.

y-component of the electric field at the origin = 97.41 N/C.

To charge an electroscope negatively by induction you need: a) a positively charged rod and a ground b) a negatively charged rod

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Option a)

Explanation:

In the process of charging anything by the method of induction, a charged body is brought near to the body which is neutral or uncharged without any physical contact and the ground must be provided to the uncharged body.

The charge is induced and the nature of the induced charge is opposite to that of the charge present on the charged body.

So when a positively charged rod is used to charge an electroscope, the rod which is positive attracts the negative charge in the electroscope and the grounding of the electroscope ensures the removal of the positive charge and renders the electroscope negatively charged.

How you do this resistor in circuit question?

lawyer [7]

If Resistors are in series= The equivalent is the sum.

E.g R1 and R2 in series, R = R1 + R2.

If in Parallel, equivalent is Product/sum.

E.g If R1 and R2 in parallel, R = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2)

1.) 60 is parallel with 40 and both are then in series with 20.

60//40 = (60*40)/(60+40) = 2400/100 = 24

Now the 24 is in series with the 20

R = 24 + 20 = 44 ohms.

2.) 80 is in series with 40 and both are then in parallel with 40.

Solving the series, R = 80 + 40 =120.

Parallel: 120//40 = (120*40)/(120+40) = 4800/160 = 30
Equivalent Resistance = 30 ohms.

3.) 100 is in parallel with 100 and both are then in series with the parallel of 50 and 50.

The 1st parallel = (100*100)/(100+100) = 10000/200 = 50

The 2nd parallel = (50*50)/(50+50) = 2500/100 = 25.

Solving the series = 50 + 25 =75 ohms.

Cheers.
