Answer:

Tension, T = 87.63  N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 6.9 kg

The string is acting in the upward direction, a = 2.9 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

As the lift is accelerating upwards, it means the net force acting on it is given by :

T = m(a+g)

= 6.9 (2.9+9.8)

= 6.9(2.7)

= 87.63  N

So, the tension in the string is 87.63  N.

If there are two photons with different energies, the one that has a higher energy (a) has the higher frequency (b) has the high
kozerog [31]

Answer:

(a) has the highest frequency

Explanation:

E = hf...where E(is the energy of a photon);h(is the planck's constant) and f is the frequency of the photon

Whereby this formula shows us that energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency

So hence if the energy is high then the frequency of the photon is also high

Suppose that the collector is held at a small negative voltage with respect to the grid. Will the accelerated electrons reach th
Leona [35]

Answer:

B) Yes, but only those electrons with energy greater than the potential difference established between the grid and the collector will reach the collector.

Explanation:

In the case when the collector would held at a negative voltage i.e. small with regard to grid So yes the accelerated electrons would be reach to the collecting plate as the kinetic energy would be more than the potential energy that because of negative potential

so according to the given situation, the option b is correct

And, the rest of the options are wrong

What is E(r)E(r)E(r), the radial component of the electric field between the rod and cylindrical shell as a function of the dist
andriy [413]

Answer:

E(r) = λ/2πrε0

Explanation:

If we consider an infinitely long line of charge with the charge per unit length being λ, we can take advantage of the cylindrical symmetry of this situation.

By symmetry, i mean that the electric fields all point radially away from the line of charge and thus there is no component parallel to the line of charge.

Niw, let's use a cylinder (with an arbitrary radius (r) and length (l)) centred on the line of charge as our Gaussian surface.

Doing that will mean that the electric field would be perpendicular to the curved surface of the cylinder. Therefore, the angle between the electric field and area vector is equal to zero and cos θ = cos 0 = 1

Now, the top and bottom surfaces of the cylinder will lie parallel to the electric field. Therefore, the angle between the area vector and the electric field would be 90° and cos θ = cos 90 = 0

Now, we know that according to Gauss Law,

Electric Flux, Φ = E•dA

Thus,

Total Φ = Φ_curved + Φ_top + Φ_bottom

Thus,

Φ = ∫E•dA cos 0 + ∫E•dA cos 90° + ∫E•dA cos 90°

We now have ;

Φ = ∫E . dA × 1

Since we are dealing with the radial component, the curved surface would be equidistant from the line of charge and the electric field in the surface will be the same magnitude throughout.

Thus,

Φ = ∫E•dA = E∫dA = E•2πrl

The net charge enclosed by the surface is given by:

q_net = λl

So using gauss theorem, we have;

Φ = E•2πrl = q_net/εo = λl/εo

E•2πrl = λl/ε0

Making E the subject, we obtain ;

E = λ/2πrε0
