Four point charges, each of magnitude 2.38 µC, are placed at the corners of a square 75.2 cm on a side. If three of the charges

are positive and one is negative, find the magnitude of the force experienced by the negative charge. The value of Coulomb’s constant is 8.98755 × 10^9 N · m^2/C^2 . Answer in units of N.

Answer:

The Electric Force on Negative Charge is 2.968 N

Explanation:

charge on each corner, q = 2.38 micro coulomb

Side of square, a = 75.2 cm

Coulombic constant, K = 8.98755 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

sides of the square are A,B,C and D

and all sides of a square are equal so

AB = BC = CD = DA = 75.2 cm = 0.752 m

Diagonal, AC = BD = 1.414 x 0.752 = 1.06 m

Electric field at D due to charge at A

EA= Kq÷AB^2

= 8.98755×10^9 × 9.87×10^-6 ÷ 0.752^2

EA= 156863.82 N/C

Similarly Electric field at D due to charge C

EC=Kq÷CD^2

= 8.98755×10^9 ×9.87×10^-6 ÷ 0.752^2

EC= 156863.82 N/C

Electric field at D due to charge at BB

EB=Kq÷BD^2

EB=8.98755×10^9 × 9.87×10^-6 ÷ 1.06^2

EB=78949.01 N/C

Resolve the compoents

Ex = EA + EB cos 45

Ex = 156863.82 + 78949.01 x 0.707

Ex = 212689.2 N/C

Ey = EC + EB Sin 45

Ey = 156863.82 + 78949.01 x 0.707

Ey = 212689.2 N/C

The resultant electric field is

E = 1.414 x 212689.2 = 300787.95 N/C

the electric force on the negative charge is

F = q x E

F = 9.87 x 10^-6 x 300787.95

F = 2.968 N

A motor lifts a 500kg elevator a height of 100 m at a constant speed in 50 secs. How much power did the motor supply
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

9,800 watts

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the force

F= mg

= 500 × 9.8

= 4,900 N

The next step is to calculate the work done

= 4,900 × 100

= 490,000 joules

Therefore the power can be calculated as follows

Power= work done /time

= 490,000/50

= 9,800 watts

Jupiter's satellite Europa orbits Jupiter with a period of 3.55 d at an orbital radius of 6.71 108 m (assume the orbit to be cir
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

(c) E = 0.28 N/kg

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}

M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}

M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}

E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}

E = 0.28 N/kg
