A flat, wide cloud floats horizontally a few kilometers above the surface of Earth. Its lower surface carries a uniform surface

charge density of -2.6×10-4 C/m2 , while there is no excess charge elsewhere in the cloud. What is the magnitude of the electric field, in newtons per coulomb, a few meters below the cloud, under the clouds approximate center, due to the charge distribution?

Magnitude of the electric field is 1.47\cdot 10^7 N/C

Explanation:

In this problem, the length of the cloud (horizontally) is a few kilometers, while here we want to evaluate the electric field it produces just a few meters below the cloud.

Therefore, we can approximate the cloud as being an infinite sheet with charge on it.

The electric field produced by an infinite sheet of charge is perpendicular to the sheet and it is given by

E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

where

\sigma is the surface charge density

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

For the cloud, we have

\sigma=-2.6\cdot 10^{-4} C/m^2

Therefore, the electric field produced by the cloud is

E=\frac{-2.6\cdot 10^{-4}}{2(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})}=-1.47\cdot 10^7 N/C

Where the negative sign means the field points towards the cloud.

Therefore, the magnitude of the field is

1.47\cdot 10^7 N/C

A horizontal spring with spring constant 85 n/m extends outward from a wall just above floor level. a 3.5 kg box sliding across
Rina8888 [55]

k = spring constant of the spring = 85 N/m

m = mass of the box sliding towards the spring = 3.5 kg

v = speed of box just before colliding with the spring = ?

x = compression the spring = 6.5 cm = 6.5 cm (1 m /100 cm) = 0.065 m

the kinetic energy of box just before colliding with the spring converts into the spring energy of the spring when it is fully compressed.

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy of spring before collision = spring energy of spring after compression

(0.5) m v² = (0.5) k x²

m v² = k x²

inserting the values

(3.5 kg) v² = (85 N/m) (0.065 m)²

v = 0.32 m/s

A 1.15-kg mass oscillates according to the equation x = 0.650 cos(8.40t) where x is in meters and t in seconds. Determine (a) th
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

(a) A = 0.650 m

(b) f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) E = 17.1416 J

(d)  K = 11.8835 J

     U = 5.2581 J

Explanation:

Given

m = 1.15 kg

x = 0.650 cos (8.40t)

(a) the amplitude,

A = 0.650 m

(b) the frequency,

if we know that

ω = 2πf = 8.40    ⇒   f = 8.40 / (2π)

⇒   f = 1.3368 Hz

(c) the total energy,

we use the formula

E = m*ω²*A² / 2

⇒  E = (1.15)(8.40)²(0.650)² / 2

⇒  E = 17.1416 J

(d) the kinetic energy and potential energy when x = 0.360 m.

We use the formulas

K = (1/2)*m*ω²*(A² - x²)       (the kinetic energy)

and

U = (1/2)*m*ω²*x²              (the potential energy)

then

K = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*((0.650)² - (0.360)²)

⇒  K = 11.8835 J

U = (1/2)*(1.15)*(8.40)²*(0.360)²

⇒  U = 5.2581 J

The filament in the bulb is moving back and forth, first pushed one way and then the other. What does this imply about the curre
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector

Explanation:

The current is defined by

       i = dQ / dt

this is the number of charges per unit area over time.

The movement of the charge carriers (electrons) is governed by the applied potential difference, when the filament has a movement the drag speed of these moving electrons should change slightly.

But the energy carried by the current is given by the pointyng vector of the electromagnetic wave

            S = 1 / μ₀ EX B

It moves at the speed of light and its speed depends on the properties of the doctor and is not disturbed by small changes in speed, therefore the current in the circuit does not change due to this movement

Susan and Hannah are each riding a swing. Susan has a mass of 25 kilograms, and Hannah has a mass of 30 kilograms. Susan’s swing
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is given by:

K.E. = 0.5 m v²

Susan has mass, m = 25 kg

Velocity with which Susan moves is, v = 10 m/s

Hannah has mass, m' = 30 kg

Velocity with which Hannah moves is, v' = 8.5 m/s

<u>Kinetic energy of Susan:</u>

0.5 m v² = 0.5 × 25 kg × (10 m/s)² = 1250 J

<u>Kinetic energy of Hannah:</u>

0.5 m v'² = 0.5 × 30 kg × (8.5 m/s)² = 1083.75 J

Susan's kinetic energy is <u>1250 J </u>and Hannah's kinetic energy is <u>1083.75 J</u>.

Since kinetic energy is dependent on mass and square of speed. Thus, speed has a greater effect than mass. As it is evident from the above example. Susan has greater kinetic energy due to higher speed than Hannah.
