A particle of charge Q is fixed at the origin of an xy coordinate system. At t = 0 a particle (m = 0.959 g, q = 5.84 µC is locat

ed on the x axis at x = 20.7 cm, moving with a speed of 47.9 m/s in the positive ydirection. For what value of Q will the moving particle execute circular motion? (Neglect the gravitational force on the particle.)

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.

A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

a)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\

b)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

What object oriented feature can we use to have a single test program, with one set of method calls in which the user can decide
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The answer is "Polymorphism".

Explanation:

Polymorphism is a feature of the object-oriented programming (OOPs) language, in which data or an object is dividing into more than one form. In other words, we can say that the capacity of various objects to obtain and react in different ways is polymorphism. It enables interaction with both objects and common interfaces that hide various details of their implementation.

An electron is to be accelerated from a velocity of 4.50×106 m/s to a velocity of 9.00×106 m/s. Through what potential differenc
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

-2.85 * 10^(-17) J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Final velocity, v = 9 * 10^6 m/s

Initial velocity, u = 4.5 * 10^6 m/s

Using the conservation of energy formula, total energy is conserved:

K.Ein + PEin = KEf + PEf

K.Ef - K.Ein = P.Ein - P.Ef

=> -∆P.E = K.Ef - K.Ein

∆P.E = K.Ein - K.Ef

∆P.E = ½mu² - ½mv²

∆P.E = ½m[(4.5 * 10^6)² - (9 * 10^6)²]

∆P.E = ½ * 9.31 * 10^(-31) * (-61.25 * 10¹²)

∆P.E = -2.85 * 10^(-17) J
