Answer:

During the fall the day gets shorter hence less sunlight this results to leaves stopping their food making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the yellow to orange color becomes visible

Two tiny particles having charges of +5.00 μC and +7.00 μC are placed along the x-axis. The +5.00-µC particle is at x = 0.00 cm,

Liula [17]

Answer:

The third charged particle must be placed at x = 0.458 m = 45.8 cm

Explanation:

To solve this problem we apply Coulomb's law:

Two point charges (q₁, q₂) separated by a distance (d) exert a mutual force (F) whose magnitude is determined by the following formula:

$F = \frac{k*q_1*q_2}{d^2}$ Formula (1)

F: Electric force in Newtons (N)

K : Coulomb constant in N*m²/C²

q₁, q₂: Charges in Coulombs (C)

d: distance between the charges in meters (m)

Equivalence

1μC= 10⁻⁶C

1m = 100 cm

Data

K = 8.99 * 10⁹ N*m²/C²

q₁ = +5.00 μC = +5.00 * 10⁻⁶ C

q₂= +7.00 μC = +7.00 * 10⁻⁶ C

d₁ = x (m)

d₂ = 1-x (m)

Problem development

Look at the attached graphic.

We assume a positive charge q₃ so F₁₃ and F₂₃ are repulsive forces and must be equal so that the net force is zero:

We use formula (1) to calculate the forces F₁₃ and F₂₃

$F_{13} = \frac{k*q_1*q_3}{d_1^2}$

$F_{23} = \frac{k*q_2*q_3}{d_2^2}$

F₁₃ = F₂₃

$\frac{k*q_1*q_3}{d_1^2} = \frac{k*q_2*q_3}{d_2^2}$ We eliminate k and q₃ on both sides

$\frac{q_1}{d_1^2}= \frac{q_2}{d_2^2}$

$\frac{q_1}{x^2}=\frac{q_2}{(1-x)^2}$

$\frac{5*10^{-6}}{x^2}=\frac{7*10^{-6}}{(1-x)^2}$ We eliminate 10⁻⁶ on both sides

$(1-x)^2 = \frac{7}{5} x^2$

$1-2x+x^2=\frac{7}{5} x^2$

$5-10x+5x^2=7 x^2$

$2x^2+10x-5=0$

We solve the quadratic equation:

$x_1 = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-10+\sqrt{10^2-4*2*(-5)} }{2*2} = 0.458m$

$x_2 = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} = \frac{-10-\sqrt{10^2-4*2*(-5)} }{2*2} = -5.458m$

In the option x₂, F₁₃ and F₂₃ will go in the same direction and will not be canceled, therefore we take x₁ as the correct option since at that point the forces are in opposite way .

x = 0.458m = 45.8cm

A 110 V power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 400 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Total number of lamps will be 4

Explanation:

We have given power of the lamp W = 400 watt

Potential difference across the lamp V=110 volt

We know that power is equal to $P=VI$

So $400=110\times I$

$I=3.636A$

Total current is given 15 A

As it is given that lamps are connected in parallel so total current is the sum of current through each lamp

So number of lamp will be $n=\frac{15}{3.636}=4.125$

As the lamp can not be in negative

So total number of lamps will be 4

Vector A has a magnitude of 30 units. Vector B is perpendicular to vector Aand has a magnitude of 40 units. What would the magni

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}$

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

$\theta$ = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$
