A particle of charge 2.0 x 10^-8C experiences an upward force of magnitude 4.0 x10^-6 when it is placed in a particular point in

an electric field.
a. What is the electric field at that point?
b. If a charge q=1.0 x 10^-8 C is placed there, what is the force on it?

Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

E = \frac{F_{e}}{q} (1)

Where:

E - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

F_{e} - Electric force, measured in newtons.

q - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N and q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric field at that point is:

E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}

E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}

The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} and q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric force is:

F_{e} = E\cdot q

F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)

F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N

The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

In pushes a 500 N crate with an applied force of 1450 N to the left. He encounters a fridtional force of 200 N and his evil co-w
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

C. 750 N. left

Explanation:

let the force to the right be positive, and the left be negative

Step one:

given

mass of crate m= 500N

1450N force left

Frictional force of 200 N -----this opposes the motion

500 N opposing force to the right

The net force is equal to the summation of all the forces in Newton

Net force= -1450+200+500

Net force=-750N

The direction is right

A 30 kg mass and a 20 kg mass are joined by a light rigid rod and this system is free to rotate in the plane of the page about a
stepan [7]

55 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as: 0.5MV^2 where M is the mass and V is the speed of rotation. Since the masses are point masses, we calculate the point mass for each mass.

M1 = 30*0.2^2 = 1.2kgm^2

M2 = 20*0.4^2 = 3.2kgm^2

V = 5 rad/s

Calculating using the formula above, we obtain :

0.5(1.2+3.2)5^2 =0.5*4.4*25 = 55 J

How much energy is needed to heat and melt 3.0 kg of copper initially at 83°C?
Ne4ueva [31]

As we know that in order to melt the copper we need to take the temperature of copper to its melting point

So here heat required to raise the temperature of copper is given as

Q = ms\Delta T

We know that

melting temperature of copper = 1085 degree C

Specific heat capacity of copper = 385 J/kg C

now we have

Q = 3(385)(1085 - 83)

Q = 1157310 J

Q = 1157.3 kJ

now in order to melt the copper we know the heat required is

Q = mL

here we know that

L = 205 kJ/kg

now from above formula

Q = 3(205) kJ

Q = 615 kJ

now total heat required will be

Q = 1157.3 kJ + 615 kJ

Q = 1772.3 kJ

As we know that

1 Cal = 4.18 kJ

now we have

Q = \frac{1772.3}{4.18} = 430 KCal

4. How much time does it take for a student running at a speed of 5 m/s to cover a distance of 2,000 m?
Monica [59]

Answer:

6 Minutes 40 Seconds or 400 Seconds

Explanation:

Time to cover a distance of 5m = 1 Second

Time to cover a distance of 2000m = 2000÷5

= 400 Seconds

After converting 400 Seconds into minutes it will become 6 minutes 40 seconds.
