Two thin 80.0-cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. Each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one

of them extends along the +x-axis while the other extends along the +y-axis. The rod along the +x-axis carries a charge of -15.0 µC distributed uniformly along its length, and the other rod carries +15.0 µC uniformly over its length. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electrical force that these two rods exert on an electron located at the point (40.0 cm, 40.0 cm). (e = 1.60 × 10-19C) ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N • m2)

Answer:

The net force on the electron is given as:

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Explanation:

Given:

charge on rod along x-axis = Q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁶ C

charge on rod along y-axis = Q₂ = 15 x 10⁻⁶ C

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₁ = 0.4 m

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₂ = 0.4 m

charge on electron = q = -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

ε° = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

Electric force on charge due to rod 1:

F₁ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₁/r₁²)

F₁ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Negative negative repels each other so the rod will Force the electron in positive y-direction.

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j

Electric force on charge due to rod 2:

F₂ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₂/r₂²)

F₂ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₂ = - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Opposite charges attract each other so the rod will force the electron in negative x-direction.

F₂ =  - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Net Force:

F = F₁ + F₂

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Which is not a step of the scientific method?
Dahasolnce [82]
The six steps of the scientific are:
1. State the question
2. Conduct research
3. Create a hypothesis
4. Perform the experiment
5. Analyze the data
6. Conclusion

So D. would be the correct answer, even though communicating the results could possibly be a step if it's required.

The current theory of the structure of the Earth, called plate tectonics, tells us that the continents are in constant motion.
lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg

(b) K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J

(c) v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

(a)

First we find the volume of the continent:

V = L*W*H

where,

V = Volume  of Slab = ?

L = Length of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

W = Width of Slab = 4450 km = 4.45 x 10⁶ m

H = Height of Slab = 31 km = 3.1 x 10⁴ m

Therefore,

V = (4.45 x 10⁶ m)(4.45 x 10⁶ m)(3.1 x 10⁴ m)

V = 6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³

Now, we find the mass:

m = density*V

m = (2620 kg/m³)(6.138 x 10¹⁷ m³)

<u>m = 1.6 x 10²¹ kg</u>

<u></u>

(b)

The kinetic energy will be:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

where,

v = speed = (1 cm/year)(0.01 m/1 cm)(1 year/365 days)(1 day/24 h)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s

Therefore,

K.E = (1/2)(1.6 x 10²¹ kg)(3.17 x 10⁻¹⁰ m/s)²

<u>K.E = 2.536 x 10¹¹ J</u>

<u></u>

(c)

For the same kinetic energy but mass = 77 kg:

K.E = (1/2)mv²

2.536 x 10¹¹ J = (1/2)(77 kg)v²

v = √(2)(2.536 x 10¹¹ J)

<u>v = 7.12 x 10⁵ m/s</u>

What is the speed of light? What is the speed of sound?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

speed of light simulating traveling at the speed of light. Speed of light, speed at which light waves propagate through different materials. In particular, the value for the speed of light in a vacuum is now defined as exactly 299,792,458 metres per second

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium
