What magnitude charge creates a 32.08 N/C electric field at a point 2.84 m away?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Q = 29.4 x 10⁻⁹ C.

Explanation:

Electric field due to a charge Q at distance d is given by coulomb law as follows

Electric field

E = k Q /d²

where for air k which is a constant is 9 x 10⁹

E=\frac{k\times Q}{d^2}

Given E = 32.08 , d = 2.84 m

Putting these values in the relation above, we have

[tex]32.08=\frac{9\times 10^9\times Q}{(2.84)^2}[/tex]

Q = 29.4 x 10⁻⁹ C.

Driving home from school one day, you spot a ball rolling out into the street (Figure 5-21). You brake for 1.20 s, slowing your
frosja888 [35]
A ) v = v o + a t  ( the acceleration will be negative )
9.50 = 16.0 + a * 1.2
a * 1.2 = -16.0 + 9.50
a * 1.2 = - 6.5 
a = - 6.5 : 1.2
a = - 5.4167 m/s²
F = m * a = 950 kg * 5.4167 m/s²
F = 5,145.8 N ( the average force exerted on a car during braking )
b ) d = v o - a t² / 2
d = 16.0 * 1.2 - ( 5.4167 * 1.2² / 2 ) =

FIGURE 1 shows part of a mass spectrometer. The whole arrangement is in a vacuum. Negative ions of mass 2.84 x 10-20 kg and char
yuradex [85]

Yes, the ions can exit slit P without being deflected, if the electric field strength is 170.6 N/C

Explanation:

When the ions are inside the container, they are subjected to two forces, with directions opposite to each other:

  • The force due to the electric field, whose magnitude is F_E=qE, where q is the charge of the ion and E is the strength of the electric field
  • The force due to the magnetic field, whose magnitude is F_B=qvB, where v is the speed of the ions and B is the strength of the magnetic field

The ions will move straight and undeflected if the two forces are equal and opposite. By using Fleming Left Hand rule, we notice that the magnetic force on the (negative) ions point upward: this means that the electric field must be also upward (so that the electric force on the ions is downward). Then, the two forces are balanced if

F_E = F_B

which translates into

qE=qvB\\\rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}

Therefore, if the speed of the ions is equal to this ratio, the ions will go undeflected.

We can even calculate the value of E at which this occurs. In fact, we know that the ions are earlier accelerated by a potential difference V=-3000 V, so we have that their kinetic energy is given by the change in electric potential energy:

qV=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

q=-2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C\\m=2.84\cdot 10^{-20}kg

Solving for v, the speed,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(-2.0\cdot 10^{-19})(-3000)}{2.84\cdot 10^{-20}}}=205.6 m/s

And since the magnetic field strength is

B = 0.83 T

The strength of the electric field must be

E=vB=(205.6 m/s)(0.83 T)=170.6 N/C

A soccer player kicks a 0.44 kg ball with a force of 57.6 N, what is the ball’s acceleration
noname [10]

THE BALL'S ACCELERATION IS 130.90\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law "the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a)", meaning that when the soccer player kicks a ball, a force is acting on the ball, therefore increasing it's acceleration

SO FOR CALCULATING THIS WE WILL USE NEWTON LAW,

   FORCE = MASS × ACCELERATION

WE ARE GIVEN

FORCE = 57.6N

MASS= .44KG

SO HERE WE APPLYING FORMULA ,WE WILL GET

ACCELERATION = \frac{FORCE}{MASS}

ACCELERATION = \frac{57.6N}{.44KG}

ACCELERATION =130.90\frac{m}{s}

Explain how the extension of a spring is determined
fgiga [73]

Answer:

For a given spring the extension is directly proportional to the force applied For example if the force is doubled, the extension doubles When an elastic object is stretched beyond its limit of proportionality the object does not return to its original length when the force is removed
