Consider an electron that is 10-10 m from an alpha particle (9 = 3.2 x 10-19 C). (Enter the magnitudes.) (a) What is the electri

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a) $E=2.88*10^{11}N/C$

b) $E=1.44*10^{11}N/C$

c) $F=4.61*10^{-8}N$

Explanation:

We use the definition of a electric field produced by a point charge:

$E=k*q/r^2$

a)Electric Field due to the alpha particle:

$E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=2.88*10^{11}N/C$

b)Electric Field due to electron:

$E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=1.44*10^{11}N/C$

c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force but with opposite direction:

$F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=4.61*10^{-8}N$

A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.2 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 16 N. a. How much

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

a $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

b $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

Explanation:

Generally the force constant is mathematically represented as

$k = \frac{F}{x}$

substituting values given in the question

=> $k = \frac{16}{0.2}$

=> $k = 80 \ N /m$

Generally the workdone in stretching the spring 3.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (3.5)^2$

=> $W_{3.5} = 490 \ J$

Generally the workdone in compressing the spring 2.5 m is mathematically represented as

$W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = \frac{1}{2} * 80 * (2.5)^2$

=> $W_{2.5} = 250 \ J$

A metal rod 80cm long lengthens by 0.090cm when its temperature rises by 93.6$^o$C. What is the linear expansivity of the metal

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: (b)0.000012/k

Explanation:

The linear expansion of the metal rod is given by

$\Delta L= L_0 \alpha \Delta T$

where

$\Delta L=0.090 cm$ is the linear expansion

$L_0 = 80 cm$ is the initial length of the rod

$\alpha$ is the linear expansivity

$\Delta T=93.6^{\circ}C=93.6 K$ is the increase in temperature

By re-arranging the equation, we find the linear expansivity:

$\alpha = \frac{\Delta L}{L_0 \Delta T}=\frac{0.090 cm}{(80 cm)(93.6K)}=0.000012 K^{-1}$
