Answer:

The magnitude of electric field is  22.58 N/C

Solution:

Given:

Force exerted in upward direction, \vec{F_{up}} = 3.50\times 10^{- 5} N

Charge, Q = - 1.55\micro C = - 1.55\times 10^{- 6} C

Now, we know by Coulomb's law,

F_{e} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}\frac{Qq}{R^{2}}

Also,

Electric field, E = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}\frac{q}{R^{2}}

Thus from these two relations, we can deduce:

F = QE

Therefore, in the question:

\vec{E} = \frac{\vec F_{up}}{Q}

\vec{E} = \frac{3.50\times 10^{- 5}}{- 1.55\times 10^{- 6}}

\vec{E} = - 22.58 N/C

Here, the negative side is indicative of the Electric field acting in the opposite direction, i.e., downward direction.

The magnitude of the electric field is:

|\vec{E}| = 22.58\ N/C

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=284\ nm

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.
