A. What is an electric field line?

Physics
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory

Explanation:

a)

  • A electric field line is an imaginary line, which has the property that the electric field vector is tangent to it at any point. It starts from positive charges (since the electric field by convention it has the direction of the trajectory that would take a positive test charge, so it always goes away from positive charges) and ends in negative charges.

b)

  • Since the potential difference between two points represents the work per unit charge needed for a charge to move between these points, a equipotential surface is the one over which it is not needed to do work to move a charge from any point on the surface to any other point, which means that all points are at the same potential.

c)

  • Equipotential surfaces are not necessarily physical surfaces, they can be defined in vaccum for instance.
  • As an example, any spherical surface concentric with a point charge, is an equipotential surface, and  it can be a real surface or a fictitious one.

cupoosta [38]

Explanation:

  • As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.  
  • Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.  
  • The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.
  • The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

babunello [35]

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m

Can someone explain the normal force? where does it come from? ...?
Vilka [71]
<span>The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object which is in contact with another stable object. For example, if a book is resting upon a surface, then the surface is exerting an upward force upon the book in order to support the weight of the book. The normal force in itseñf comes from the third law of Newton as a reactive force</span>
