A spider begins to spin a web by first hanging from a ceiling by his fine, silk fiber. He has a mass of 0.025 kg and a charge of

3.4 µC. A second spider with a charge of 4.2 µC rests in her own web exactly 2.6 m vertically below the first spider.
(a) What is the magnitude of the electric field due to the charge on the second spider at the position of the first spider?
(b) What is the tension in the silk fiber above the first spider?

Answer:

a) (5.59 × 10³) N/C

b) 0.226 N directed away from the spider.

Explanation:

a) Electric field, E, felt as a result of point charge, Q, at a distance, d away is given by

E = kQ/d²

So, magnitude of the electric field due to the charge on the second spider at the position of the first spider

Q = 4.2 µC = 4.2 × 10⁻⁶ C

k = Coulomb's constant = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C

d = 2.6 m

E = (8.99 × 10⁹ × 4.2 × 10⁻⁶)/2.6²

E = 5.59 × 10³ N/C

b) Tension in the silk fiber above the spider is the net force due to the weight of spider one and the force of repulsion due the two charges.

Force due to the two charges = Eq

where q now represents the charge of the first spider at the first point, feeling the electric field calculated in (a)

F = 5.59 × 10³ × 3.4 × 10⁻⁶ = 0.01901 N directed upwards. (That is, F = + 0.019 N)

Weight of the spider = mg = 0.025 × 9.8 = 0.245 N directed downwards. (That is, W = -0.245 N)

Net force, T = mg - F = 0.245 - 0.019 = 0.226 N (that is, 0.226 N, directed upwards, away from the spider).

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum do you think is most important and why?
KonstantinChe [14]
Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic radiation can be described in terms of a stream of mass-less particles, ...

The electromagnetic spectrum is a map of all the types of light that we can identify. It separates all the types of light by wavelength because that directly relates to how energetic the wave is. More energetic wave

For most of history, visible light was the only known part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The ancient Greeks recognized that light traveled in straight lines and studied some of its properties, including reflection

"a musical tone sounded on a piano has a frequency of 261.6 hz and a wavelength of 1.31 m. what is the speed of the sound wave
Andreyy89
To solve this question, we use the wave equation which is:
C=f*λ
where:
C is the speed;
f is the frequency;
λ is the wavelength
So in this case, plugging in our values in the problem. This will give us:
C = 261.6Hz × 1.31m
= 342.696 m/s is the answer.
