Answer:

The electric field intensity is <u>30000 N/C.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of the point charge is, q=3\times 10^{-9}\ C

Distance of the given point from the point charge is, d=3\ cm=0.03\ m

Electric field intensity is directly proportional to the magnitude of point charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the point and the given charge.

Therefore, electric field intensity 'E' at a distance of 'd' from a point charge 'q' is given as:

E=\frac{kq}{d^2}

Plug in k=9\times 10^9\ N\cdot m^2/C^2, q=3\times 10^{-9}\ C, d=0.03\ m. Solve for 'E'.

E=\frac{(9\times 10^9\ N\cdot m^2/C^2)(3\times 10^{-9}\ C)}{(0.03\ m)^2}\\\\E=\frac{27}{0.0009}\ N/C\\\\E=30000\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field intensity at a point 3 cm from the point charge is 30000 N/C.

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 60 N. a. How much
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

a)1815Joules b) 185Joules

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that the extension of a material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically;

F = ke where;

F is the applied force

k is the elastic constant

e is the extension of the material

From the formula, k = F/e

F1/e1 = F2/e2

If a force of 60N causes an extension of 0.5m of the string from its equilibrium position, the elastic constant of the spring will be ;

k = 60/0.5

k = 120N/m

a) To get the work done in stretching the spring 5.5m from its position,

Work done by the spring = 1/2ke²

Given k = 120N/m, e = 5.5m

Work done = 1/2×120×5.5²

Work done = 60× 5.5²

Work done = 1815Joules

b) work done in compressing the spring 1.5m from its equilibrium position will be gotten using the same formula;

Work done = 1/2ke²

Work done =1/2× 120×1.5²

Works done = 60×1.5²

Work done = 135Joules

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 13.0 cm , giving it a ch
Leokris [45]

a) Electric field inside the paint layer: zero

b) Electric field just outside the paint layer: -3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

c) Electric field 8.00 cm outside the paint layer: -7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C

Explanation:

a)

We can find the electric field inside the paint layer by applying Gauss Law: the total flux of the electric field through a gaussian surface is equal to the charge contained within the surface divided by the vacuum permittivity, mathematically:

\int EdS = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

where

E is the electric field

dS is the element of surface

q is the charge within the gaussian surface

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field just inside the paint layer, so we take a sphere of radius r as Gaussian surface, where

R = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m is the radius of the plastic sphere (half the diameter)

By taking the sphere of radius r, we note that the net charge inside this sphere is zero, therefore

q=0

So we have

\int E dS=0

which means that the electric field inside the paint layer is zero.

b)

Now we want to find the electric field just outside the paint layer: therefore, we take a Gaussian sphere of radius

r=R=0.065 m

The area of the surface is

A=4\pi R^2

And since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at any point, Gauss Law becomes

E\cdot 4\pi R^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

The charge included within the sphere in this case is the charge on the paint layer, therefore

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

So, the electric field is:

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.065)^2}=-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C

where the negative sign means the direction of the field is inward, since the charge is negative.

c)

Here we want to calculate the electric field 8.00 cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

Therefore, we have to take a Gaussian sphere of radius:

r=8.00 cm + R = 8.00 + 6.50 = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m

Gauss theorem this time becomes

E\cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}

And the charge included within the sphere is again the charge on the paint layer,

q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C

Therefore, the electric field is

E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.145)^2}=-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C

Hai vận động viên chạy trên cùng 1 đoạn đường, vận động
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Pemain A

Explanation:

Mengingat data berikut;

Kecepatan pemain A = 12 m/s

Kecepatan pemain B = 36 km/h

Untuk menentukan siapa pelari tercepat di antara dua pemain;

Pertama-tama, kita harus mengubah kecepatan menjadi satuan standar pengukuran yang sama.

Jadi, mari kita gunakan pengukuran umum meter per detik.

Konversi:

36 km/h = (36 * 1000)/(60 * 60)

36 km/h = 36000/3600

36 km/h = 10 m/s

Kecepatan pemain B = 10 m/s

Oleh karena itu, dibandingkan dengan kecepatan pemain A; pemain A lebih cepat.

You wish to buy a motor that will be used to lift a30-kg bundle of shingles from the ground to the roof of a house. The shingles
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

the minimum value of torque is 101.7 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bundle of shingles, m = 30 kg

Upward acceleration of the shingles,

The radius of the motor of the pulley, r = 0.3 m

Let T is the tension acting on the shingles when it is lifted up. It can be calculated as :

T-mg=ma

T=m(g+a)

T=10\times (9.8+1.5)\\T = 113 N

Let \tau is the minimum torque that the motor must be able to provide. It is given by :

\tau=r\times T\tau=0.3\times 339\tau=101.7\ N-m

the minimum value of torque is 101.7 N-m.
