A boy, standing at point O, is whirling a ball on a string over his head. After several whirls, he lets go of the string and the

ball travels in a straight line. Describe the velocity of the ball in both situations: whirling overhead and being let go.

It will continue in a straight line.

When a ball is whirled using a string, it is restricted to move only in circular motion because the net force acting on the ball is towards the center of the circle. Hence, the acceleration of the ball is towards the center. But the velocity of ball is tangential to this circular path all the time. When the whirling is stropped, the string becomes slack and tension in the string becomes zero. The ball no more performs circular motion and the ball moves tangentially to the circle in straight line. Therefore, before letting go, velocity was variable. After letting go, velocity becomes constant.

A large sheet of charge has a uniform charge density of 9  μCm2. What is the electric field due to this charge at a point just
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Explanation:

Surface charge density, σ = 9 μC/m² = 9 x 10^-6 C/m²

According to the Gauss theorem,

Electric field due to the sheet is given by

E = \frac {\sigma }{2\epsilon _{0}}

E = \frac{9\times 10^{-6}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}

E = 5.08 x 10^5 N/C

Answer: 75V

Explanation:

Given that,

total resistance (Rtotal) = 150Ω

Current (I) = 0.5A

Change in electric potential (V) = ?

Recall that potential difference is the product of amount of current and the amount of resistance in the circuit. And its unit is volts.

So, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

V = 0.5A x 150Ω

V = 75V

Thus, the change in electric potential across the circuit is 75 Volts

A horizontal beam of light of intensity 25 W/m2 is sent through two polarizing sheets. The polarizing direction of the first mak
Zina [86]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Intensity of unpolarised light, I = 25 W/m^2

When it passes from first polarisr, the intensity of light becomes

I'=\frac{I_{0}}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5 W/m^{2}

Let the intensity of light as it passes from second polariser is I''.

According to the law of Malus

I'' = I' Cos^{2}\theta

Where, θ be the angle between the axis first polariser and the second polariser.

I'' = 12.5\times Cos^{2}15

I'' = 11.66 W/m^2

I'' = 11.7 W/m^2
