The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).

scZoUnD [109]

Complete Question

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a E = $1.685*10^3 N/C$

b E = $36.69*10^3 N/C$

c E = 0 N/C

d $V = 6.7*10^3 V$

e $V = 26.79*10^3V$

f V = $34.67 *10^3 V$

g $V= 44.95*10^3 V$

h $V= 44.95*10^3 V$

i $V= 44.95*10^3 V$

Explanation:

From the question we are given that

The first charge $q_1 = 2.00 \mu C = 2.00*10^{-6} C$

The second charge $q_2 =1.00 \muC = 1.00*10^{-6}$

The first radius $R_1 = 0.500m$

The second radius $R_2 = 1.00m$

$Generally \ Electric \ field = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1+\ q_2}{r^2}$

And $Potential \ Difference = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1 }{r}+\frac{q_2}{R_2} ]$

The objective is to obtain the the magnitude of electric for different cases

And the potential difference for other cases

Considering a

r = 4.00 m

$E = \frac{((2+1)*10^{-6})*8.99*10^9}{16}$

$= 1.685*10^3 N/C$

Considering b

$r = 0.700 m \ , R_2 > r > R_1$

This implies that the electric field would be

$E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r^2}$

This because it the electric filed of the charge which is below it in distance that it would feel

$E = 8*99*10^9 \frac{2*10^{-6}}{0.4900}$

= $36.69*10^3 N/C$

Considering c

r = 0.200 m

=> $r$

The electric field = 0

This is because the both charge are above it in terms of distance so it wont feel the effect of their electric field

Considering d

r = 4.00 m

=> $r > R_1 >r>R_2$

Now the potential difference is

$V =\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q_1 + \ q_2}{r} = 8.99*10^9 * \frac{3*10^{-6}}{4} = 6.7*10^3 V$

This so because the distance between the charge we are considering is further than the two charges given

Considering e

r = 1.00 m $R_2 = r > R_1$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{1.00} \frac{1.00*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 26.79 *10^3 V$

Considering f

$r = 0.700 m \ , R_2 > r > R_1$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.700} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 34.67 *10^3 V$

Considering g

$r =0.500\m , R_1 >r =R_1$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{r} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V$

Considering h

$r =0.200\m , R_1 >R_1>r$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{R_1} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V$

Considering i

$r =0\ m \ , R_1 >R_1>r$

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} [\frac{q_1}{R_1} +\frac{q_2}{R_2} ] = 8.99*10^9 * [\frac{2.00*10^{-6}}{0.500} \frac{1.0*10^{-6}}{1.00} ] = 44.95 *10^3 V$

Newtons first law 1 to 5. <br>What is each of the net force for all of the 5 questions?

erica [24]

Answer:

1. 65 N.

2. 160 N.

3. 0 N.

4. 210 N.

5. 90 N.

Explanation:

1. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 80 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 145 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 145 – 80

Fₙ = 65 N

Thus, the net force is 65 N

2. Determination of the net force.

Force 1 applied to the left (F₁) = 35 N

Force 2 applied to the left (F₂) = 125 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂

Fₙ = 35 + 125

Fₙ = 160 N

Thus, the net force is 160 N.

3. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 75 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 75 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₗ – Fᵣ

Fₙ = 75 – 75

Fₙ = 0

Thus, the net force is 0 N

4. Determination of the net force.

Force 1 applied to the right (F₁) = 150 N

Force 2 applied to the right (F₂) = 60 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = F₁ + F₂

Fₙ = 150 + 60

Fₙ = 210 N

Thus, the net force is 210 N.

5. Determination of the net force.

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 115 N

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 25 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 115 – 25

Fₙ = 90 N

Thus, the net force is 90 N

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.
