"The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays."

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, what is the direction of the force on the test charge?

svetlana [45]

Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9

kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of the car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

$KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2$

$2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2$

$2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2$

$4V_1^2= V_2^2$

$2V_1= V_2$ .................(1)

also,

$\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2$

$\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2$

$2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2$

$\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)$

$(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)$

$(0.404V_1)=(3.72)$

$V_1=8.98m/s$

and, from equation (1)

$V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s$

Hence,

Speed of car 1 = $V_1=8.98m/s$

Speed of car 2 = $V_2=17.96m/s$

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

$K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}$

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature

What happens to the force between two charges when each charge is doubled and the distance between them is 1/4 its original

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

F' = 64 F

Explanation:

The electric force between charges is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

Where

q₁ and q₂ are charges

r is the distance between charges

When each charge is doubled and the distance between them is 1/4 its original magnitude such that,

q₁' = 2q₁, q₂' = 2q₂ and r' = (r/4)

New force,

$F'=\dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{r'^2}$

Apply new values,

$F'=\dfrac{k\times 2q_1\times 2q_2}{(\dfrac{r}{4})^2}\\\\=\dfrac{k\times 4q_1q_2}{\dfrac{r^2}{16}}\\\\=64\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\=64F$

So, the new force becomes 64 times the initial force.
