d from rest near the stationary charge and is free to move. Which statement best describes the motion of q after it is released?
(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.
(B) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will decrease.
(C) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its acceleration will keep increasing.
(D) Its speed will be greatest just after it is released. Its acceleration is zero just after it is released.

Answer:

(A) As it moves farther and farther from Q, its speed will keep increasing.

Explanation:

When a positive charge Q is fixed on a horizontal frictionless tabletop and a second charge q is released near to it then according to the Coulombs law the force acting on it decreases with the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically:

F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{Q.q}{r^2}

where:

r = distance between the charges

\epsilon_0= permittivity of free space

By the Newtons' second law of motion if the we know that the acceleration is directly proportional to the force applied. So as  the distance between the charges increases the its acceleration also decreases therefore now the charge feels less acceleration but still continues to accelerate with a fading magnitude.

Assume the acceleration of the object is a(t) = −9.8 meters per second per second. (Neglect air resistance.) With what initial v
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Vi = 94.64 m/s

Explanation:

I order to find out the initial velocity of the object, we can use third equation of motion:

2ah = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = acceleration = -9.8 m/s²

h = maximum height covered by object = 460 m - 3 m = 457 m

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (since, object momentarily stops at highest point)

Vi = Initial Velocity = ?

Therefore,

2(-9.8 m/s²)(457 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²

Vi = √8957.2 m²/s²

<u>Vi = 94.64 m/s</u>

Write equations for both the electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum th
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

E=3.5(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)

B=1.17*10^{-8}(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)

Explanation:

The electric field equation of a electromagnetic wave is given by:

E=E_{max}(kx-\omega t) (1)

  • E(max) is the maximun value of E, it means the amplitude of the wave.
  • k is the wave number
  • ω is the angular frequency

We know that the wave length is λ = 700 nm and the peak electric field magnitude of 3.5 V/m, this value is correspond a E(max).

By definition:

k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}            

k=8.98*10^{6} [rad/m]      

And the relation between λ and f is:                

c=\lambda f

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

f=\frac{3*10^{8}}{700*10^{-9}}

f=4.28*10^{14}

The angular frequency equation is:

\omega=2\pi f

\omega=2\pi*4.28*10^{14}

\omega=2.69*10^{15} [rad/s]

Therefore, the E equation, suing (1), will be:

E=3.5(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t) (2)

For the magnetic field we have the next equation:

B=B_{max}(kx-\omega t) (3)

It is the same as E. Here we just need to find B(max).

We can use this equation:

E_{max}=cB_{max}

B_{max}=\frac{E_{max}}{c}=\frac{3.5}{3*10^{8}}

B_{max}=1.17*10^{-8}T

Putting this in (3), finally we will have:

B=1.17*10^{-8}(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t) (4)

I hope it helps you!

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, how much work does the rope do on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m?
Lunna [17]

If the tension in the rope is 160 n, - 43200 J work doen by the rope on the skier during a forward displacement of 270 m.

Given,

Tension force in the rope is (T) = 160 N

Displacement of the skier (S) = 270 m

The displacement takes place in forward direction while the direction of the tension in the rope is opposite to it.

Therefore, work done by the rope on  the skier is,

   W=T.S

⇒W=270*160*cos\pi \\W=-43200 J

Hence work done by the rope is - 43200 J.
