(a) 24.6 Nm

The torque produced by the net thrust about the center of the circle is given by:

\tau = F r

where

F is the magnitude of the thrust

r is the radius of the wire

Here we have

F = 0.795 N

r = 30.9 m

Therefore, the torque produced is

\tau = (0.795 N)(30.9 m)=24.6 N m

(b) 0.035 rad/s^2

The equivalent of Newton's second law for a rotational motion is

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the torque

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

If we consider the airplane as a point mass with mass m = 0.741 kg, then its moment of inertia is

I=mr^2 = (0.741 kg)(30.9 m)^2=707.5 kg m^2

And so we can solve the previous equation to find the angular acceleration:

\alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}=\frac{24.6 Nm}{707.5 kg m^2}=0.035 rad/s^2

(c) 1.08 m/s^2

The linear acceleration (tangential acceleration) in a rotational motion is given by

a=\alpha r

where in this problem we have

\alpha = 0.035 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

r = 30.9 m is the radius

Substituting the values, we find

a=(0.035 rad/s^2)(30.9 m)=1.08 m/s^2

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface,pointing down, that averages 102 N/C. This field is maintained by various
Schach [20]

Answer:

q  =  -461532.5 \ C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  electric filed is  E  =  102 \ N/C  

Generally according to Gauss law

=>   E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Given that  the electric field is pointing downward  , the equation become

    - E  A  =  \frac{q}{\epsilon_o }

Here   q is the excess charge on the surface of the earth

          A is the surface  area of the of the earth which is mathematically represented as

     A  =  4\pi r^2

Where r is the radius of the earth which has a value r = 6.3781*10^6 m

 substituting values

    A  = 4 * 3.142  *   (6.3781*10^6 \ m)^2

    A  =5.1128 *10^{14} \ m^2

So

   q  =  -E  * A  *  \epsilon _o

Here \epsilon_o s the permitivity of free space with value

          \epsilon_o  =  8.85*10^{-12} \  m^{-3} \cdot kg^{-1}\cdot  s^4 \cdot A^2

substituting values

     q  =  -102  * 5.1128 *10^{14}  *  8.85 *10^{-12}

     q  =  -461532.5 \ C

Two thin 80.0-cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. Each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one
kogti [31]

Answer:

The net force on the electron is given as:

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Explanation:

Given:

charge on rod along x-axis = Q₁ = -15 x 10⁻⁶ C

charge on rod along y-axis = Q₂ = 15 x 10⁻⁶ C

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₁ = 0.4 m

distance of electron from rod 1 = r₂ = 0.4 m

charge on electron = q = -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

ε° = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² C²/Nm²

Electric force on charge due to rod 1:

F₁ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₁/r₁²)

F₁ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x -15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Negative negative repels each other so the rod will Force the electron in positive y-direction.

F₁ = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j

Electric force on charge due to rod 2:

F₂ = qE = 1/4πε°(qQ₂/r₂²)

F₂ = (9 x 10⁹ x -1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 15 x 10⁻⁶)/0.4²

F₂ = - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N

Opposite charges attract each other so the rod will force the electron in negative x-direction.

F₂ =  - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i

Net Force:

F = F₁ + F₂

F = 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N j - 1.35 x 10⁻¹³ N i
