Answer:

F = 93.49 × 10^(-9) N

Explanation:

We are given;

Length of rectangle; a = 1.1 m

Width of rectangle; b = 0.9 m

Charge on rectangle; q = 2.3 × 10^(-9) C

Formula for force is;

F = kq²/r²

Where;

k is a constant = 8.99 x 10^(9) N.m²/C²

a) on the width side, we have;

F = [8.99 x 10^(9) × (2.3 × 10^(-9))²]/0.9²

F = 58.79 × 10^(-9) N

This is on the y-axis

b) on the length side, we have;

F = [8.99 x 10^(9) × (2.3 × 10^(-9))²]/1.1²

F = 39.3 × 10^(-9) N

This is on the x-axis

C) using pythagoras theorem, for the diagonal side, we have c² = a² + b².

Thus;

F = [8.99 x 10^(9) × (2.3 × 10^(-9))²]/(1.1² + 0.9²)

F = 23.54 × 10^(-9) N

Using trigonometric ratios, we can find the angle θ.

tan θ = b/a

tan θ = 0.9/1.1

tan θ = 0.8182

θ = tan^(-1) 0.8182

θ = 39.29°

Resolving along x and y axis, we have;

F_x = 23.54 × 10^(-9) × cos 39.29°

F_x = 18.22 × 10^(-9) N

F_y = 23.54 × 10^(-9) × sin 39.29°

F_y = 14.91 × 10^(-9) N

Resultant force will be;

F = √((Σf_x)² + (ΣF_y)²)

F = √[(18.22 × 10^(-9)) + (39.3 × 10^(-9))]² + [(14.91 × 10^(-9)) + (58.79 × 10^(-9))²]

F = √[(33.0855 × 10^(-16)) + (54.317 × 10^(-16))]

F = 93.49 × 10^(-9) N

What is the biggest current disadvantage to using gas hydrates as a form of energy?
ohaa [14]
When gas hydrates are brought to the surface, they evaporate quickly. This would be the biggest, current disadvantage to using gas hydrates as a form of energy.

If the particles of an object have more kinetic energy than the particles of an object, what must be true?
son4ous [18]

If the objects comprise a gas, then the first object contains more
thermal energy (heat) than the second object.

If the objects are solid, then you can't draw any conclusion unless
both objects have the same total mass. If that's the case, then the
first object must be moving faster than the second one.

A sphere of radius r = 5cm carries a uniform volume charge density rho = 400 nC/m^3. Q. What is the total charge Q of the sphere
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The total charge Q of the sphere is 2.094\times10^{-10}\ C.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5 cm

Charge density J= 400\ nC/m^3

We need to calculate the total charge Q of the sphere

Using formula of charge

q=\rho V

Where, \rho = charge density

V = volume

Put the value into the formula

q=\rho\times(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

Put the value into the formula

q=\dfrac{4}{3}\times\pi\times400\times10^{-9}\times(5\times10^{-2})^3

q=2.094\times10^{-10}\ C

Hence, The total charge Q of the sphere is 2.094\times10^{-10}\ C.

What is the most likely outcome of increasing the number of slits per unit distance on a diffraction grating?1) lines become nar
Nina [5.8K]

It's important to know that diffraction gratings can be identified by the number of lines they have per centimeter. Often, more lines per centimeter is more useful because the images separation is greater when this happens. That is, the distance between lines increases.

<h2>Therefore, the answer is 2.</h2>
