-ZERO-   No 17.6 pound Earth-bound cat is going to be able to jump to the top of a 6 feet 7 inch bookshelf unassisted!  Someone should call the SPCA on the writer of this textbook question ;-)

Assuming that this overweight cat is content being placed in such a lofty position, your professor probably wants the answer of <u>156.8 Joules</u>

Mass x  Acceleration of Gravity (on Earth) x elevation = Potential Energy

8 Kg x 9.8 m/s2  x 2 m  = 156.8 J

An eight-turn coil encloses an elliptical area having a major axis of 40.0 cm and a minor axis of 30.0 cm. The coil lies in the
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 8

major axis = 40 cm

semi major axis, a = 20 cm = 0.2 m

minor axis = 30 cm

semi minor axis, b = 15 cm = 0.15 m

current, i = 6.2 A

Magnetic field, B = 1.98 x 10^-4 T

Angle between the normal and the magnetic field is 90°.

Torque is given by

τ = N i A B SinФ

Where, A be the area of the coil.

Area of ellipse, A = π ab = 3.14 x 0.20 x 0.15 = 0.0942 m²

τ = 8 x 6.20 x 0.0942 x 1.98 x 10^-4 x Sin 90°

τ = 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm

thus, the torque is 9.25 x 10^-4 Nm.

A point charge q1 = 1.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 1 m.
iris [78.8K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

Here

k = Coulomb's Constant

q_{1,2} = Charge of each object

d = Distance

Our values are given as,

q_1 = 1 \mu C

q_2 = 6 \mu C

d = 1 m

k =  9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

a) The electric force on charge q_2 is

F_{12} = \frac{ (9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^2}

F_{12} = 54 mN

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

b) As the force exerted on q_2 will be equal to that act on q_1,

F_{21} = F_{12}

F_{21} = 54 mN

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

c) If q_2 = -6 \mu C, a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.

F_{12} = \frac{(9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(-6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^{2}}

F_{12} = F_{21} = -54 mN

Force is negative i.e. attractive
