The expression of the electric flux is
Here,
Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface
= Permittivity due to free space
Rearranging to find the charge,
Replacing with our values we have finally
The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC
The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.
Answer:
, the minus meaning west.
Explanation:
We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before () and after (
) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.
Before the explosion we have .
After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so .
These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.
Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:
Which means (since we want and
):
So for our values we have:
Answer:
0.75 m
Explanation:
Let's call the distance between the bulb and the mirror x.
The bulb and the length of the mirror form a triangle. The mirror and the illuminated area on the floor form a trapezoid. If we extend the lines from the mirror edge to the reflected image of the bulb, we turn that trapezoid into a large triangle. This triangle and the small triangle are similar. So we can say:
x / 0.4 = (3 + x) / 2
Solving for x:
2x = 0.4 (3 + x)
2x = 1.2 + 0.4 x
1.6 x = 1.2
x = 0.75
So the bulb should located no more than 0.75 m from the mirror.
