postnew [5]2 years ago

Answer:

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Explanation:

Given

Initial\ Distance = 2cm ---- r_1

New\ Distance = 4cm --- r_2

Required

Determine the new force

Let the two particles be q1 and q2.

The initial force F1 is:

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_1^2} --- Coulomb's law

Substitute 2 for r1

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{2^2}

F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

The new force (F2) is

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_2^2}

Substitute 4 for r2

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4^2}

F_2 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4*4}

F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*\frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

Substitute F_1 = \frac{kq_1q_2}{4}

F_2 = \frac{1}{4}*F_1

F_2 = \frac{F_1}{4}

The new force is 1/4 of the previous force.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

v = \frac{Bqr}{m}

v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

(c) Let K be the kinetic energy

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

r=\frac{mv}{Bq}

r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

irinina [24]
Force , F = ma

F =  m(v - u)/t               

Where m = mass in kg, v= final velocity in m/s, u = initial velocity in m/s
t = time, Force is in Newton.

m= 1.2*10³ kg,  u = 10 m/s,  v = 20 m/s, t = 5s

F =  1.2*10³(20 - 10)/5

F = 2.4*10³ N = 2400 N

The voltage supplied to a circuit is 17 V and the current running through is 10 A. What is the power generated?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

170 W

Explanation:

Applying

P = VI.................... Equation 1

Where P = Power generated in watt, V = Voltage supplied to the circuit, I = Current running through the circuit.

From the question,

Given: V = 17 V, I = 10 A

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (17×10)

P = 170 Watt.

Hence the power generated is 170 W.

The right option is A. 170 W

A hollow spherical shell has mass 8.20 kg and radius 0.220 m. It is initially at rest and then rotates about a stationary axis t
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

8.91 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 8.20 kg

radius, r = 0.22 m

Moment of inertia of the shell, I = 2/3 mr^2

                                                    = 2/3 x 8.2 x 0.22 x 0.22 = 0.265 kgm^2

n = 6 revolutions

Angular displacement, θ = 6 x 2 x π = 37.68 rad

angular acceleration, α = 0.890 rad/s^2

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s

Let the final angular velocity is ω.

Use third equation of motion

ω² = ωo² + 2αθ

ω² = 0 + 2 x 0.890 x 37.68

ω = 8.2 rad/s

Kinetic energy,

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.265 x 8.2 x 8.2

K = 8.91 J
