Answer:2m/s^2

Explanation:

mass=0.25kg

Force =0.5N

Acceleration=force/ mass

Acceleration=0.5/0.25

Acceleration=2

Acceleration =2m/s^2

A very long line of charge with charge per unit length +8.00 μC/m is on the x-axis and its midpoint is at x = 0. A second very l

artcher [175]

Answer:

at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.

Explanation:

Given:

linear charge density on the x-axis, $\lambda_1=8\times 10^{-6}\ C$

linear charge density of the other charge distribution, $\lambda_2=-6\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Since both the linear charges are parallel and aligned by their centers hence we get the symmetric point along the y-axis where the electric fields will be equal.

Let the neural point be at x meters from the x-axis then the distance of that point from the y-axis will be (0.11-x) meters.

<u>we know, the electric field due to linear charge is given as:</u>

$E=\frac{\lambda}{2\pi.r.\epsilon_0}$

where:

$\lambda=$ linear charge density

r = radial distance from the center of wire

$\epsilon_0=$ permittivity of free space

Therefore,

$E_1=E_2$

$\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi.x.\epsilon_0}=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi.(0.11-x).\epsilon_0}$

$\frac{\lambda_1}{x} =\frac{\lambda_2}{0.11-x}$

$\frac{8\times 10^{-6}}{x} =\frac{6\times 10^{-6}}{0.11-x}$

$x=0.0629\ m$

∴at y=6.29 cm the charge of the two distribution will be equal.

The refractive index n of transparent acrylic plastic (full name Poly(methyl methacrylate)) depends on the color (wavelength) of

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block is

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for blue light is $n_F = 1.497$

The wavelength of the blue light is $F = 486.1 nm = 486.1 *10^{-9} \ m$

The refractive index of the transparent acrylic plastic for red light is $n_C = 1.488$

The wavelength of the red light is $C = 656.3 nm = 656.3 *10^{-9} \ m$

The incidence angle is $i = 45^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the blue light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_F} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

$r_F = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.497} ]$

$r_F = 28.18^o$

Generally from Snell's law the angle of refraction of the red light in the acrylic block is mathematically represented as

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(i) * n_a }{n_C} ]$

Where $n_a$ is the refractive index of air which have a value of $n_a = 1$

$r_C = sin ^{-1}[\frac{sin(45) * 1 }{ 1.488} ]$

$r_F = 28.37^o$

The angle between the blue beam and the red beam in the acrylic block

$\theta _d = r_C - r_F$

substituting values

$\theta _d = 28.37 - 28.18$

$\theta _d =0.19 ^o$

Zoe has 25 grams of water (c = 4.186 ) at 10°C, which she mixes with 12 grams of water at 30°C. Assume that no heat is lost to t

fenix001 [56]

Since heat here is conserved that means that the heat out is equal to the heat in. We use the expression Q = mC(T2-T1). We caclulate as follows:

Q absorbed = Q released
m1 C (T-T1) = -m2 C (T-T1)

C can be cancelled since they are the same substance.

m1 (T-T1) = -m2 (T-T1)
25 (T-10) = -12 (T-30)
T = 16.49 degrees Celsius

(HELP!!! 30 pts if answered right. )What formula gives the strength of an electric field, E, at a distance from a known source c

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$E=\frac{k\,Q}{d^2}$

Explanation:

The strength of an electric field E produced by a single charge Q at a distance d from it is given by the formula: $E=\frac{k\,Q}{d^2}$ , where K represents the Coulomb constant.

Since the electric field E is derived from the Coulomb Force per unit charge using a positive test charge, the field's units will be in units of Newtons/Coulomb, and be the formula for the Coulomb electric force between to charges (Q1 and Q2),

$F_C=k\frac{Q_1\,Q_2}{d^2}$

but modified with only one charge showing in the numerator of the expression.

Find your mass if a scale on earth reads 650 N when you stand on it.

netineya [11]

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

   Weight on Earth = (mass) x (9.8 m/s²)

Divide each side by (9.8 m/s²): Mass = (weight) / (9.8 m/s²)

    Mass = (650 N) / (9.8 m/s²)

   Mass = 66.33 kg (rounded)
