Two charges are located in the x-y plane. If q1=-4.55 nC and is located at x=0.00 m, y=0.680 m and the second charge has magnitu

de of q2=4.20 nC and is located at x=1.00 m, y=0.600 m, calculate the x and y components, Ex and Ey, of the electric field, E, in component form at the origin, (0,0).

Answer:

Ex= -23.8 N/C  Ey = 74.3 N/C

Explanation:

As the  electric force is linear, and the electric field, by definition, is just this electric force per unit charge, we can use the superposition principle to get the electric field produced by both charges at any point, as the other charge were not present.

So, we can first the field due to q1, as follows:

Due  to q₁ is negative, and located on the y axis, the field due to this charge will be pointing upward, (like the attractive force between q1 and the positive test charge that gives the direction to the field), as follows:

E₁ = k*(4.55 nC) / r₁²

If we choose the upward direction as the positive one (+y), we can find both components of E₁ as follows:

E₁ₓ = 0   E₁y = 9*10⁹*4.55*10⁻⁹ / (0.68)²m² = 88.6 N/C (1)

For the field due to q₂, we need first to get the distance along a straight line, between q2 and the origin.

It will be just the pythagorean distance between the points located at the coordinates (1.00, 0.600 m) and (0,0), as follows:

r₂² = 1²m² + (0.6)²m² = 1.36 m²

The magnitude of the electric field due to  q2 can be found as follows:

E₂ = k*q₂ / r₂² = 9*10⁹*(4.2)*10⁹ / 1.36 = 27.8 N/C (2)

Due to q2 is positive, the force on the positive test charge will be repulsive, so E₂ will point away from q2, to the left and downwards.

In order to get the x and y components of E₂, we need to get the projections of E₂ over the x and y axis, as follows:

E₂ₓ = E₂* cosθ, E₂y = E₂*sin θ

the  cosine of  θ, is just, by definition, the opposite  of x/r₂:

⇒ cos θ =- (1.00 m / √1.36 m²) =- (1.00 / 1.17) = -0.855

By the same token, sin θ can be obtained as follows:

sin θ = - (0.6 m / 1.17 m) = -0.513

⇒E₂ₓ = 27.8 N/C * (-0.855) = -23.8 N/C (pointing to the left) (3)

⇒E₂y = 27.8 N/C * (-0.513) = -14.3 N/C (pointing downward) (4)

The total x and y components due to both charges are just the sum of the components of Ex and Ey:

Ex = E₁ₓ + E₂ₓ = 0 + (-23.8 N/C) = -23.8 N/C

From (1) and (4), we can get Ey:

Ey = E₁y + E₂y =  88.6 N/C + (-14.3 N/C) =74.3 N/C

1. How does the mass of Jupiter compare to Earth?
sammy [17]

Answer:

1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. (Image credit: NASA)

The largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant Jupiter is approximately 318 times as massive as Earth. If the mass of all of the other planets in the solar system were combined into one "super planet," Jupiter would still be two and a half times as large.

2.Rotation of Jupiter

[/caption]

Jupiter has the fastest rotation of all the planets in the Solar System, completing one rotation on its axis every 9.9 hours.

3.Jupiter, the King of the Planets, is a gas giant, which means that it's made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and that it doesn't have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. With a temperature of 130 K (-140 C, -230 F), it's so cold that it gives off most of its energy in the infrared. In fact, Jupiter gives off almost twice as much heat as it receives from the Sun. It's able to do this because it has its own internal heat source, powered by the slow gravitational collapse that started when the planet first formed. Astronomers estimate that Jupiter is currently shrinking by almost 2 cm per year

17. A volleyball weighs about 300 grams.
atroni [7]

Answer:

PE = 44.1 J

Explanation:

Ok, to have the specific data, the first thing we must do is convert from grams to kilograms. Since mass must always be in kilograms (kg)

We have:

  • 1 kilograms = 1000 grams.

We convert it using a rule of 3, replacing, simplifying units and solving:

  • \boxed{\bold{x=\frac{gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ gr*1\ kg}{1000\ gr}=\frac{300\ kg}{1000}=\boxed{\bold{0.3\ kg}}}}

==================================================================

Earth's gravity is known to be 9.8 m/s², so we have:

Data:

  • m = 0.3 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 15 m
  • PE = ?

Use formula of potencial energy:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=0.3\ kg*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*15\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=44.1\ J}}}

Since the decimal number, that is, the number after the comma is less than 5, it cannot be rounded, then we have this result.

The potential energy of the volleyball is <u>44.1 Joules.</u>

Greetings.

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>
  • It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
  • We have the expression for slit width w as,

                           w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

  • Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

                           d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.
