Answer:

8.66\times 10^{-6}\ C or 8.66\ \mu C.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Charge on the particle at origin = Q.
  • Mass of the moving charged particle, \rm m = 0.959\ g = 0.959\times 10^{-3}\ kg.
  • Charge on the moving charged particle, \rm q = 5.84\ \mu C = 5.84\times 10^{-6}\ C.
  • Distance of the moving charged particle from first at t = 0 time, \rm r=20.7\ cm = 0.207\ m.
  • Speed of the moving particle, \rm v = 47.9\ m/s.

For the moving particle to circular motion, the electrostatic force between the two must be balanced by the centripetal force on the moving particle.

The electrostatic force on the moving particle due to the charge Q at origin is given by Coulomb's law as:

\rm F_e = \dfrac{kqQ}{r^2}.

where, \rm k is the Coulomb's constant having value \rm 9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2.

The centripetal force on the moving particle due to particle at origin is given as:

\rm F_c = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}.

For the two forces to be balanced,

\rm F_e = F_c\\\dfrac{kqQ}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\Rightarrow Q = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}\times \dfrac{r^2}{kq}\\=\dfrac{mv^2r}{kq}\\=\dfrac{(0.959\times 10^{-3})\times (47.9)^2\times (0.207)}{(9\times 10^9)\times (5.84\times 10^{-6})}\\=8.66\times 10^{-6}\ C\\=8.66\ \mu C.

erma4kov [3.2K]

The emerging velocity of the bullet is <u>71 m/s.</u>

The bullet of mass <em>m</em> moving with a velocity <em>u</em>  has kinetic energy. When it pierces the block of wood, the block exerts a force of friction on the bullet. As the bullet passes through the block, work is done against the resistive forces exerted on the bullet by the block. This results in the reduction of the bullet's kinetic energy. The bullet has a speed <em>v</em> when it emerges from the block.

If the block exerts a resistive force <em>F</em> on the bullet and the thickness of the block is <em>x</em> then, the work done by the resistive force is given by,

W=Fx

This is equal to the change in the bullet's kinetic energy.

W=Fx=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v^2)......(1)

If the thickness of the block is reduced by one-half, the bullet emerges out with a velocity v<em>₁.</em>

Assuming the same resistive forces to act on the bullet,

F(\frac{x}{2} )=\frac{1}{2} m(u^2-v_1^2)......(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify for v<em>₁.</em>

\frac{\frac{Fx}{2} }{Fx} =\frac{(u^2-v_1^2)}{(u^2-v^2)} \\\frac{100^2-v_1^2}{100^2-10^2} =\frac{1}{2} \\v_1^2=5050\\v_1=71.06 m/s

Thus the speed of the bullet is 71 m/s

Why is a virus NOT classified as a living thing?
Shkiper50 [21]

The correct answer would be B. A virus is living BUT   however it does NOT have all of the 7 characteristics of life.

Hope that helped ^^

A proton moves through a magnetic field at 20.3 % of the speed of light. At a location where the field has a magnitude of 0.0062
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Force on the proton will be .73\times 10^{-14}N

Explanation:

We have given speed of proton is 20.3% of speed of light

Speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

So speed of proton v=\frac{3\times 10^8\times 23}{100}=6.9\times 10^7m/sec

Magnetic field B = 0.00629 T

Charge on proton q=1.6\times 10^{-16}C

Angle between velocity and magnetic field \Theta =137^{\circ}

Force on the proton is equal to F=qvBsin\Theta =1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.9\times 10^7\times 0.00629\times sin(137^{\circ})=4.73\times 10^{-14}N

a motorcyclist starts from rest and accelerates at rate of 4 meters per second squared north. what is the final velocity of the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

80m<em>/</em><em>s</em>

Explanation:

Final velocity is given by

v=u+at

when a motorcyclist starts from rest, initial velocity (u) =0

therefore

v=0+4*20

v=80m/s

that's the answer
