The electric field in an xy plane produced by a positively charged particle is 8.55(4.5 3.0 ) N/C at the point (4.2, 4.9) cm and
126 N/C at the point (2.2, 0) cm. What are the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of the particle
1 answer:
Answer:
(a) x=-3.15cm
(b)y=0cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Locate the point (4.2,4.9) cm and draw the vector 4.5i+3.j with the origin at this point, the end of the vector is going to be in the point (8.7,7.9). With point (2.2,0), after searching, draw a line to the right to represent that the direction of the field is toward the positive x-axis.
Draw a line in each point in the opposite direction of the field in that point, the point where these lines intersect each other is the position of the particle.
Is the point (-3.15,0)cm
(a) x=-3.15cm
(b)y=0cm

The formulas for arc length and area of a sector are quite close in their appearance. The formula for arc length, however, is related to the circumference of a circle while the area of a sector is related to, well, the area! The arc length formula is 
. Notice the "2*pi*r" which is the circumference formula. The area of a sector is 
. Notice the "pi*r squared", which of course is the area of a circle. In our problem we are given the arc length and the radius. What we do not have that we need to then find the area of a sector of the circle is the measure of the central angle, beta. Filling in accordingly, 
. Simplifying by multiplying by 360 on both sides and then dividing by 36 on both sides gives us that our angle has a measure of 60°. Now we can use that to find the area of a sector of that same circle. Again, filling accordingly, 
, and 
. When you multiply in the value of pi, you get that your area is 169.65 in squared.
