Answer:

E = 0.437 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=8\times 10^{-4}\ C$

Electric force, $F=3.5\times 10^{-4}\ N$

Let the strength of the electric field is E. We know that, the electric force is given by :

F = qE

Where

E is the electric field strength

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.5\times 10^{-4}}{8\times 10^{-4}}\\E=0.437\ N/C$

So, the strength of the electric field is equal to 0.437 N/C.

Inside a vacuum tube, an electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 320 N/C. (a) What is the ma

nignag [31]

(a) The magnitude of the acceleration of the electron is 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s².

(b) The speed of the electron after the given time is 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s.

<h3>Acceleration of the electron</h3>

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as follows;

F = qE

ma = qE

a = qE/m

a = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 320)/(9.11 x 10⁻³¹)

a = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s²

<h3>Speed of the electron</h3>

v = at

v = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s² x 8.50 x 10⁻⁹ s

v = 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM

1) The mass of the continent is $2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg$

2) The kinetic energy of the continent is 274.8 J

3) The speed of the jogger must be 2.76 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The continent is a slab of side 5900 km (so the surface is 5900 x 5900, assuming it is a square) and depth 26 km, therefore its volume is:

$V=(36)(4600)^2=7.62\cdot 10^8 km^3 = 7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3$

The mass of the continent is given by

$m=\rho V$

where:

$\rho = 2790 kg/m^3$ is its density

$V=7.62\cdot 10^{17} m^3$ is its volume

Substituting, we find the mass:

$m=(2790)(7.62\cdot 10^{17})=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg$

2)

To find the kinetic energy, we need to convert the speed of the continent into m/s first.

The speed is

v = 1.6 cm/year

And we have:

1.6 cm = 0.016 m

$1 year = (365)(24)(60)(60)=3.15\cdot 10^7 s$

So, the speed is

$v=\frac{0.016 m}{3.15 \cdot 10^7 s}=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s$

Now we can find the kinetic energy of the continent, which is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

$m=2.13\cdot 10^{21} kg$ is the mass

$v=5.08\cdot 10^{-10}m/s$ is the speed

Substituting,

$K=\frac{1}{2}(2.13\cdot 10^{21})(5.08\cdot 10^{-10})^2=274.8 J$

3)

The jogger in this part has the same kinetic energy of the continent, so

K = 274.8 J

And its mass is

m = 72 kg

We can write his kinetic energy as

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the man

And solving the equation for v, we find his speed:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(274.8)}{72}}=2.76 m/s$

Why does a child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward? 15. What force is needed to acc

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Force, F = 77 N

Explanation:

A child in a wagon seem to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward. It is due to Newton's third law of motion. The forward pull on wagon is called action force and the backward force is called reaction force. These two forces are equal in magnitude but they acts in opposite direction.

We need to calculate the force is needed to accelerate a sled. It can be calculated using the formula as :

F = m × a

Where

m = mass = 55 kg

a = acceleration = 1.4 m/s²

$F=55\ kg\times 1.4\ m/s^2$

F = 77 N

So, the force needed to accelerate a sled is 77 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

A voltmeter was used to check the coolant and a reading of 0.2 volt with the engine off was measured. A reading of 0.8 volt was

Julli [10]

Answer:

C. Technician B

Explanation:

Excessive Galvanic activity:

To check for excessive galvanic activity, voltmeter is used to check the coolant. If the voltmeter is giving a reading greater than 0.5 V, there is excessive galvanic activity. Excessive galvanic activity is solved by flushing the coolant fluid from engine and refiling it.

Electrolysis problem:

When the system is not properly ground, the cooling system accepts stray current and the coolant becomes an electrolyte which might eat up the radiator. To test for excessive electrolysis, start the engine and turn on all electrical accessories, if the reading is more than 0.5 V, there is electrolysis problem. Ground wires and connections should be checked at this point to stop stray current.

In our case, the first reading is 0.2 V(engine turned off) which is normal and there is no excessive galvanic activity. This means that Technician A is not correct. The second reading is 0.8 V when the engine and all electrical accessories are turned on. This reading is greater than 0.5 V which means there is an electrolysis problem. This means that Technician B is correct and ground wires and connections should be inspected and repaired.

The SAF operates the M113 Ultra APC.

HACTEHA [7]

The volume of the object must be no larger than $11.15 m^3$ .

Explanation:

In order for an object to be able to float in water, its density must be equal or smaller than the water density.

The density of water is:

$\rho = 1000 kg/m^3$

This means that the density of the object must be no larger than this value.

We also know that the density of an object is given by

$\rho = \frac{m}{V}$

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the object in this problem, the mass is

$m=1.115\cdot 10^4 kg$

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find its volume:

$V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{1.115\cdot 10^4}{1000}=11.15 m^3$

So, the volume of the object must be no larger than $11.15 m^3$ .
