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 turtle takes 3.5 minutes to walk 18 m toward the south along a deserted highway. A truck driver stops and picks up the turtle.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

3.59 m/s

Explanation:

The average velocity is defined as:

\frac{Total displacement}{Total time}

The turtle first walks 18m south, and then is taken 1,1Km (or 1100m) north. Thus, the total displacement  is 1082m north (1100m north - 18m south).

Now we have to calculate the total time, which will be equal to the sum of the time the turtle walked and the time it was taken by truck.

The walking time is 3.5 minutes. Since 1 minute = 60 seconds, then the walking time is 210 seconds.

To calculate the truck time we use the equation:

Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

Where the distance the truck travelled is 1100m and the speed of the truck is 12m/s.

Thus,

Truck time= \frac{1100m}{12m/s}= 91.67s

The total time is the sum of the walking time and the truck time.

Total time = 210s + 91.67s = 301.67s.

As mencioned previously, the average velocity is equal to total displacement/ total time, thus:

Average velocity = \frac{1082m}{301.67s} = 3.59 m/s North

Since the average velocity is a vector, it has a magnitude and a direction. In this case the magnitude is 3.59 m/s and the direction is north since the turtle's final displacement is north of where it started.

Given the information below, estimate the total distance travelled during these 6 seconds using a left endpoint approximation. t
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

184 feets

Explanation:

Given the data:

time (sec) __ velocity (ft/sec)

0 __________30

1 __________ 54

2 __________56

3 __________34

4 __________ 8

5 __________ 2

6 __________22

Using left end approximation:

(0,1) ___ f(0) = 30

(1,2) ___ f(1) = 54

(2,3) ___f(2) = 56

(3,4) ___f(3) = 34

(4,5) ___f(4) = 8

(5,6) __ f(5) = 2

Hence, the Total distance traveled during the 6 second interval is:

Change ; dT = 1

1 * (30 + 54 + 56 + 34 + 8 + 2) = 184

Is carbon a metal, nonmetal, or semi-metal
Vlada [557]

Answer: Non metal.

Explanation: Carbon has 4 electrons in it’s valence shell which makes it a metalloid but commonly it is considered as a non metal.
