Points A and B lie within a region of space where there is a uniform electric field that has no x- or z-component; only the y-co

mponent Ey is non zero. Point A is at y=8.00 cm and point B is at y=15.0 cm. The potential difference between B and A is VB−VA=+12.0 V, so point B is at higher potential than point A. (a) Is Ey positive or negative? (b) What is the magnitude of the electric field? (c) Point C has coordinates x=5.00 cm, y=5.00 cm. What is the potential difference between points B and C?

Answer:

(a) Ey is negative

(b) The magnitude of the electric field is E = 171.429 V/m

(c) The potential difference between points B and C is 17.1429 V

Explanation:

(a) Here, we have the potentials given by;

V_A - V_B = +12.0V with point A at y = 8.00 cm and point B at point y = 15.0 cm

where point B is at a higher potential than point A, that is the electric potential is from;

B with y = 15.0 cm to A with y = 8.0 cm which means

E_y decreases as y increases or E_y  is negative.

(b) The magnitude of the electric field is given by

The work done to move a charge from B to A is

W_{BA} = - \Delta U where

\Delta U = U_a -U_b = q_0E(y_b-y_a)

V_{BA} = \frac{\Delta U}{q_0} = \frac{q_0E(y_b-y_a)}{q_0}  = E(y_b-y_a)

∴ E = \frac{V_{BA}}{(y_b-y_a)}

E = \frac{12 \hspace{0.09cm}V}{(0.015\hspace{0.09cm} m -0.008\hspace{0.09cm} m)}

E = 171.429 V/m

(c) Here we have point C x = 5.00 cm and y = 5.00 cm

Therefore we have the distance from B to C given by

y_b-y_c = 15.00 \hspace{0.09cm}cm - 5.00  \hspace{0.09cm}cm = 10.00 \hspace{0.09cm} cm

Where 10.00 cm = 0.01 m

E = V/Δy

Therefore, V = Δy·E

For V_{BC}, Δy = y_b-y_c  = 0.01 \hspace{0.09cm} m and we have,

V_{BC} = E\times (y_b-y_c)

V_{BC} = 171.429\times (0.015-0.005) = 17.1429\hspace{0.09cm}V

While on a moving elevator during a certain perfod or time, Frank's apparent weight is 620 N. If Frank's mass is 70 kg, what is
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

0.94 m/s^2 downwards

Explanation:

m = 70 kg, m g = 70 x 9.8 = 686 N

R = 620 N

Let the acceleration be a, as the apparent weight decreases so the elevator is moving downwards with an acceleration a.

mg - R = ma

686 - 620 = 70 x a

a = 0.94 m/s^2

*A car is going through a dip in the road whose curvature approximates a circle of radius 150m. At what velocity will the occupa
Valentin [98]

Answer:

v= 14.85 m/s

Explanation:

  • When at the bottom of the dip, the only force that keeps the car in the circular trajectory, is the centripetal force.
  • This force is not a new force, is just the net force aiming to the center of the circle.
  • In this case, is just the difference between the normal force (always perpendicular to the surface, pointing upward) and the force that gravity exerts on the car (which is known as the weight), pointing downward.
  • So, we can write the following expression:

       F_{cent} = F_{n} - F_{g}  (1)

  • It can be showed that the centripetal force is related to the speed by the following expression:
  • F_{cent} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)
  • The normal force, it is called the apparent weight, because it would be the weight as measured by a scale.
  • Replacing (2) in (1), and solving for Fn, we get:

       F_{n} = m*\frac{v^{2} }{r} + m*g (3)

  • Now, we need to find the value of v that makes Fn, exactly 15% more than the weight m*g, so we can write the following equation:

      F_{n} = 1.15*F_{g} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} +F_{g}  (4)

  • Replacing Fg by its value, simplifying, and solving for v, we get:

       v = \sqrt{0.15*g*r} = \sqrt{9.8 m/s2*0.15*150m} = 14.85 m/s (5)
