A straight, nonconducting plastic wire 9.50 cm long carries a charge density of 130 nC/m distributed uniformly along its length.

It is lying on a horizontal tabletop.A) Find the magnitude and direction of the electric field this wire produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its midpoint.B)If the wire is now bent into a circle lying flat on the table, find the magnitude and direction of the electric field it produces at a point 4.50 cm directly above its center.

Answer:

A) E = 3.70*10^{4} N/C

B)  E = 2.281*10^3 N/C

Explanation:

given data:

charge density \lambda = 130*10^{-9} C/m

length of wire = 9.50 cm

a) at x  = 4.5 m above midpoint, electric field is calculated as

E = \frac{1}{ 2\pi \epsilon} * \frac{ \lambda}{x\sqrt{(x^2/a^2)+1}}

x = 4.5 cm

midpoint a = 4.5 cm = 0.0475 m

E =2{\frac{1}{ 8.99*10^9} * \frac{130*10^{-9} }{0.045\sqrt{(4.5^2/4.75^2)+1}}

E = 3.70*10^{4} N/C

B) when wire is in circle form

Q = \lambda * L

= 130*10^{-9} *9.5*10^{-2}

   = 1.235*10^{-8} C

Radius of circle

r = \frac{L}{2\pi}

r = \frac{9.5*10^{-2}}{2\pi}

r = 1.511*10^{-2} m

E = \frac{1}{ 2\pi \epsilon} * \frac{Qx}{(x^2+r^2)^{3/2}}

E =8.99*10^{9} * \frac{1.23*10^{-8}*4.5*10^{-2}}{((4.5*10^{-2})^2+(1.511*10^{-2})^2)^{3/2}}

E = 2.281*10^3 N/C

I. What is the initial velocity of the car?
qaws [65]

Answer:

I. 0 m/s

II. 20 m/s

III. Part BC

Explanation:

I. Determination of the initial velocity.

From the diagram given above,

The motion of the car starts from the origin. This implies that the car start from rest and as such, the initial velocity of the car is 0 m/s

II. Determination of the maximum velocity attained.

From the diagram given above, we can see clearly that the maximum velocity is 20 m/s.

III. Determination of the part of the graph that represents zero acceleration.

It important that we know the meaning of zero acceleration.

Zero acceleration simply means the car is not accelerating. This can only be true when the car is moving with a constant velocity.

From the graph given above, the car has a constant velocity between B and C.

Therefore, part BC illustrates zero acceleration.

An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of the isotopes each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i     .....(1)

We are given:

  • For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 19.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 90.92 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9092

  • For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 20.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 0.26%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0026

  • For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 21.99 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 8.82%

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0882  

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass}=[(19.99\times 0.9092)+(20.99\times 0.0026)+(21.99\times 0.0882)]

\text{Average atomic mass}=20.169amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of the given element is 20.169 amu.
