Guiana dolphins are one of the few mammals able to detect electric fields. In a test of sensitivity, a dolphin was exposed to th

e variable electric field from a pair of charged electrodes. The magnitude of the electric field near the sensory organs was measured by detecting the potential difference between two measurement electrodes located 1.0 cm apart along the field lines. The dolphin could reliably detect a field that produced a potential difference of 0.50 mV between these two electrodes.
1. What is the corresponding electric field strength?

Answer:

0.05 V/m

Explanation:

V = Potential difference that is possible for the dolphin to detect = 0.5 mV

d = Distance between electrodes = 1 cm

Electric field strength is given by

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

$\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{1\times 10^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow E=0.05\ V/m$

The corresponding electric field strength is 0.05 V/m

Say I have a series circuit with 20v and four 65 ohm resistors, what is the current in each resistor?

Komok [63]

Data:

$E = 20 V$
$R_{1} = 65\Omega$
$R_{2} = 65\Omega$
$R_{3} = 65\Omega$
$R_{4} = 65\Omega$

<span>Now that we have all the values we need properly identified, simply calculate the equivalent total resistance of the circuit and the intensity of the total electric current using the Ohm's Law:

</span> $R_{T} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} + R_{4}$
$R_{T} = 65 + 65 + 65+ 65$
$R_{T} = 260\Omega$

<span>Like this:
</span>
$I_{T} = \frac{E}{ R_{T} }$

$I_{T} = \frac{20}{ 260 }$
$I_{T} = 0,076923076...$

$\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$
Answer:
<span>The intensity of the total electric current
</span> $\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$

P.S:. Since the association is in series, the current of 0.07A is the same for all resistors.

At the intersection of Texas Avenue and University Drive,

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The initial speed of the truck is 21.93 m/s, and the initial speed of the car is 19.524 m/s

Explanation:

We can use conservation of momentum to find the initial velocities.

Taking the unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing north and $\hat{j}$ pointing east, the final velocity will be

$\vec{V}_f = 16.0 \frac{m}{s} \ ( \ cos(24.0 \°) \ , \ sin (24.0 \°) \ )$

$\vec{V}_f = ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

The final linear momentum will be:

$\vec{P}_f = (m_{car}+ m_{truck}) * V_f$

$\vec{P}_f = (950 \ kg \ + 1900 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = (2.850 \ kg \ ) * ( \ 14.617 \frac{m}{s} \ , \ 6.508 \frac{m}{s} \ )$

$\vec{P}_f = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

As there are not external forces, the total linear momentum must be constant.

So:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

As initially the car is travelling east, and the truck is travelling north, the initial linear momentum must be

$\vec{P}_0= ( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} )$

so:

$\vec{P}_0= \vec{P}_f$

$( m_{truck} * v_{truck}, m_{car}* v_{car} ) = ( \ 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} \ , \ 18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ )$

so

$\left \{ {{m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s} } \atop {m_{car} \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s} }} \right.$

So, for the truck

$m_{truck} \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$1900 \ kg \ v_{truck} = 41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = \frac{41,658.45 \frac{ kg \ m}{s}}{1900 \ kg}$

$v_{truck} = 21.93 \frac{m}{s}$

And, for the car

$950 \ kg \ v_{car}=18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}$

$v_{car}=\frac{18,547.8 \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{950 \ kg}$

$v_{car}=19.524 \frac{m}{s}$

An electron experiences a magnetic force with a magnitude of 4.90×10−15 n when moving at an angle of 60.0 ∘ with respect to a ma

Leya [2.2K]

Missing questions: "find the speed of the electron".

Solution:
the magnetic force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by
$F=qvB \sin \theta$
where
q is the particle charge
v its velocity
B the magnitude of the magnetic field
$\theta$ the angle between the directions of v and B.

Re-arranging the formula, we find:
$v= \frac{F}{qB \sin \theta}$
and by substituting the data of the problem (the charge of the electron is $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ ), we find the velocity of the electron:
$v= \frac{F}{qB \sin \theta}= \frac{4.90 \cdot 10^{-15}N}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.70 \cdot 10^{-3} T)(\sin 60^{\circ})}=9.56 \cdot 10^6 m/s$
