Ah electron is a negatively charged particle that has a charge of magnitude, e - 1.60 x 10-19 C. Which one of the following stat

Advocard [28]

Answer:

The correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of $\rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2}$ ".

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the magnitude of the electric field due to a static point charge q at a point r distance away from it is given by

$\rm E = \dfrac{k|q|}{r^2}.$

k is the Coulmob's constant.

The direction of the electric field along the line joining the charge and the point where electric field is to be found and it is directed from positive charge to negative charge.

Conventionally, we assume a positive test charge placed at the point where electric field is to be found, the test charge has very small charge such that its charge does not affect the electric field due to the given charge.

The charge on the electron = -e.

The electric field due to an electron is given by

$\rm E = \dfrac{k|-e|}{r^2}=\dfrac{ke}{r^2}.$

The direction of this electric field is from positive test charge, placed at the point where electric field is to be found, towards the electron along the line joining the two.

Thus, the correct statement is "The electric field is directed toward the electron and has a magnitude of $\rm \dfrac{ke}{r^2}$ ".

A force of F = (2.00ˆi + 3.00ˆj) N is applied to an object that is pivoted about a fixed axle aligned along the z coordinate axi

Vladimir [108]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force applied to object, $F=(2i+3j)\ N$

Position, $r=(4i+5j)\ m$

(b) The cross product of force and position vector is used to find the net torque about the z axis. It is given by :

$\tau=F\times r$

$\tau=(2i+3j) \times (4i+5j)$

$\tau=\begin{pmatrix}0&0&-2\end{pmatrix}$

$\tau=(-2k)\ N-m$

The torque is acting in -z axis.

(a) The magnitude of torque is given by :

$|\tau|=\sqrt{(-2)^2}$

$|\tau|=2\ N-m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A Navy vessel is traveling due north during wartime. A torpedo has been launched by an enemy directly toward the stern (rear) of

Anika [276]

Answer:

The correct option is;

B) No, the Navy vessel is slower

Explanation:

The speed of some torpedoes can be as high as 370 km/h. The average speed of a fast Navy vessel is approximately 110 km/h

Therefore, the torpedoes travel approximately 3 times as fast as the (slower) Navy vessel, such that the torpedo covers three times the distance of the Navy vessel in the same time and therefore, if the Navy vessel and the torpedo continue in a straight line (in the same direction) due north the vessel can not outrun the torpedo

Therefore, no the Navy vessel travels slower than a torpedo.
