Two point charges, a +45nC charge X and a +12nC charge Y are separated by a distance of 0.5m.

Gnoma [55]

A) Calculate the resultant electric field strength at the midpoint between the charges.

Qx is the charge at X and Qy is the charge at Y.

E at midpoint = k×Qx/0.25² - k×Qy/0.25²

k = 9×10⁹Nm²C⁻², Qx = 45nC, Qy = 12nC

E = 4752N/C

Well done.

B) Calculate the distance from X at which the electric field strength is zero.

Let D be some point between X and Y for which the net E field is 0.

Let d be the distance from X to D.

Set up the following equation:

E at D = k×Qx/d² - k×Qy/(0.5-d)² = 0

Do some algebra to solve for d:

k×Qx/d² = k×Qy/(0.5-d)²

Qx/d² = Qy/(0.5-d)²

Qx(0.5-d)² = Qyd²

(0.5-d)√Qx = d√Qy

0.5√Qx-d√Qx = d√Qy

d(√Qx+√Qy) = 0.5√Qx

d = (0.5√Qx)/(√Qx+√Qy)

Plug in Qx = 45nC, Qy = 12nC

d ≈ 330mm

C) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field strength at the point P on the diagram below.

First determine the angles of the triangle. The sides of the triangle are 0.3m, 0.4m, and 0.5m, so this is a right triangle where the angle between the 0.3m and 0.4m sides is 90°

∠Y = tan⁻¹(0.4/0.3) = 53.13°

∠X = 90-∠Y = 36.87°

Determine the horizontal component of E at P:

Ex = E from Qx × cos(∠X) - E from Qy × cos(∠Y)

Ex = k×Qx/0.4²×cos(36.87°) - k×Qy/0.3²×cos(53.13°)

Ex = 1305N/C

Determine the vertical component of E at P:

Ey = E from Qx × sin(∠X) - E from Qy × sin(∠Y)

Ey = k×Qx/0.4²×sin(36.87°) - k×Qy/0.3²×sin(53.13°)

Ey = 2479N/C

Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the magnitude of E at P:

E = √(Ex²+Ey²)

E ≈ 2802N/C

Braddy connected the loose wire to the battery and created an electromagnet. He picked up 45 thumb tacks with his electromagnet,

Katarina [22]

Answer:

C) Use two batteries instead of one.

Explanation:

-Strength of an electromagnet depends on the electrical current which flows through the wires.

-Two batteries have a higher current than one and thus higher strength in the electromagnet.

A spring with spring constant 15 N/m hangs from the ceiling. A ball is attached to the spring and allowed to come to rest. It is

olga nikolaevna [1]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 15 N/m

Amplitude of the oscillation, A = 7.5 cm = 0.075 m

Number of oscillations, N = 31

Time, t = 15 s

(a) Let m is the mass of the ball. The frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}$

Total number of oscillation per unit time is called frequency of oscillation. Here, $f=\dfrac{31}{15}=2.06\ Hz$

$m=\dfrac{k}{4\pi^2f^2}$

$m=\dfrac{15}{4\pi^2\times 2.06^2}$

m = 0.0895 kg

m = 89 g

(b) The maximum speed of the ball that is given by :

$v_{max}=A\times \omega$

$v_{max}=A\times 2\pi f$

$v_{max}=0.075\times 2\pi \times 2.06$

$v_{max}=0.970\ m/s$

$v_{max}=97\ cm/s$

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the pressure acting on a given sample of an ideal gas at constant temperature is tripled, what happens to the volume of the g

oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law for constant temperature of gas Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

$PV=nRT$

$PV=constant$

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

if Pressure is tripled then

$P\times V_1=3P\times V_2$

$V_2=\frac{V_1}{3}$

Volume becomes one-third of original volume

What is the uses of echoes?<br>

vichka [17]

Explanation:

Echo sounding is a type of sonar used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound waves into water. The time interval between emission and return of a pulse is recorded, which is used to determine the depth of water along with the speed of sound in water at the time.
