9.8 is the gravitational field strength on earth, perhaps re-read the question
Answer:
The physics definition of "work" is: ... Work can be either positive or negative: if the force has a component in the same direction as the displacement of the object, the force is doing positive work. If the force has a component in the direction opposite to the displacement, the force does negative work
Answer:
a. The electric field lines are linear and perpendicular to the plates inside a parallel-plate capacitor, and always from positive plate to the negative plate. If a positive charge is released near the positive plate, then it will follow a linear path towards the negative plate under the influence of electrostatic force, F = Eq, where q is the charge of the particle. The electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor is constant and equal to
This can be calculated by Gauss' Law.
A positive charge always follow the electric field lines when released. Another approach is that the positive plate repels the positive charge and negative plate attracts the positive charge. Therefore, the positive charge follows a path towards the negative charge.
b. The particle moves from the higher potential to the lower potential. The direction of motion is the same as the direction of the force that moves the particle, so the work done on the particle by that force is positive.
Answer:
3.6 x 10^8 V
Explanation:
Q = 4 m C = 4 x 10^-3 C
r = 5 cm = 0.05 m
The formula for the potential at the surface is
Vs = K Q / r = (9 x 10^9 x 4 x 10^-3) / 0.05 = 7.2 x 10^8 V
The formula for the potential at the centre is
Vc = 3/2 Vs
Vc = 1.5 x 7.2 x 10^8 V = 10.8 x 10^8 V
The difference in potential is
V = Vc - Vs = 10.8 x 10^8 - 7.2 x 10^8 = 3.6 x 10^8 V
Answer:
1176 N
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of car=1280 kg
Mass of trailer==350 kg
Car exerts a horizontal force against the ground =N
Coefficient of friction=
We have to find the force exerted by car on the trailer.
Substitute the values then we get
Force exert on the trailer
Hence, the car exerts force on the trailer=1176 N
