A 60-μC charge is held fixed at the origin and a −20-μC charge is held fixed on the x axis at a point x = 1.0 m. If a 10-μC char

ge is released from rest at a point x = 40 cm, what is its kinetic energy the instant it passes the point x = 70 cm?

Answer:

Ek = 8,79 [J]

Explanation:

We are going to solve this problem, using the energy conservation principle

State 1 or initial state (charges at rest t=0)

E₁ = Ek + U₁

As charge are at rest Ek = 0

And U₁ has two components

U₁₂ = K * Q₁*Q₂ / 0,4 and U₃₂ = K*Q₃*Q₂ / 0,6

U₁₂ = 9*10⁹* 60*10⁻⁶*10*10⁻⁶/0,4 ⇒ U₁₂ = 9*60*10*10⁻³/0,4

U₃₂ = - 9*10⁹* 20*10⁻⁶*10*10⁻⁶/0,6 ⇒ U₃₂ = - 9*20*10*10⁻³/0,6

U₁₂ = 540*10⁻2/0,4 [J] ⇒13,5 [J]

U₃₂ = - 180*10⁻² /0,6 [J] ⇒ - 3 [J]

Then E₁ = E₁₂ + E₃₂

E₁ = 10,5 [J]

At the moment of Q₂ passing x = 40 cm or 0,4 m

E₂ = Ek + U₂

We can calculate the components of U₂ in this new configuration

U₂ = U₁₂ + U₃₂

U₁₂ = 9*10⁹* 60*10⁻⁶*10*10⁻⁶/0,7 ⇒ U₁₂ = 9*60*10*10⁻³/0,7

U₁₂ = 540*10⁻²/0,7 U₁₂ = 7,71 [J]

U₃₂ = - 9*10⁹* 20*10⁻⁶*10*10⁻⁶/0,3 ⇒ U₃₂ = - 9*20*10*10⁻³/0,3

U₃₂ = - 9*20*10⁻²/0,3

U₃₂ = - 6

U₂ = 7,71 -6

U₂ = 1,71 [J]

Then as

E₂ = Ek + U₂ and E₂ = E₁

Then

Ek + U₂ = E₁

Ek = 10,5 - U₂

Ek = 10,5 - 1,71

Ek = 8,79 [J]

Airida [17]

Answer:

Mobility of the minority carriers, $\mu_{n} =1184.21 cm^{2} /V-sec$

Diffusion coefficient for minority carriers, $D_{n} = 29.20 cm^2 /s$

Verified from Einstein relation as $\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = 25 mV$

Explanation:

Length of sample, $l_{s} = 2 cm$

Separation between the two probes, L = 1.8 cm

Drift time, $t_{d} = 0.608 ms$

Applied voltage, V = 5 V

Mobility of the minority carriers ( electrons), $\mu_{n} = \frac{V_{d} }{E}$

Where the drift velocity, $V_{d} = \frac{L}{t_{d} }$

$V_{d} = \frac{1.8}{0.608 * 10^{-3} } \\V_{d} = 2960.53 cm/s$

and the Electric field strength, $E = \frac{V}{l_{s} }$

E = 5/2

E = 2.5 V/cm

Mobility of the minority carriers:

$\mu_{n} = 2960.53/2.5\\\mu_{n} =1184.21 cm^{2} /V-sec$

The electron diffusion coefficient, $D_{n} = \frac{(\triangle x)^{2} }{16 t_{d} }$

$\triangle x = (\triangle t )V_{d}$ , where Δt = separation of pulse seen in an oscilloscope in time( it should be in micro second range)

$\triangle x = \frac{(\triangle t) L}{t_{d} } \\\triangle x = \frac{180*10^{-6} * 1.8}{0.608*10^{-3} }\\\triangle x =0.533 cm$

$D_{n} = \frac{0.533^{2} }{16 * 0.608 * 10^{-3} }\\D_{n} = 29.20 cm^2 /s$

For the Einstein equation to be satisfied, $\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = \frac{KT}{q} = 0.025 V$

$\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = \frac{29.20}{1184.21} \\\frac{D_{n} }{\mu_{n} } = 0.025 = 25 mV$

Verified.

<span>The answer is transformer. They utilize electromagnetic induction to generate current. This is only possible in alternating current due to the differential increase and decrease of electrical current that induces changes in magnetic flux in the coil. This varies the magnetic flux of the primary coil that generates current in the secondary coil.</span>

The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of 7.50 × 105 N, so the tracks push forward on th

Rasek [7]

Answer:

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.

Explanation:

Statement is incomplete. Complete description is presented below:

<em>A freight train has a mass of </em> $1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ <em>. The wheels of the locomotive push back on the tracks with a constant net force of </em> $7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ <em>, so the tracks push forward on the locomotive with a force of the same magnitude. Ignore aerodynamics and friction on the other wheels of the train. How long, in seconds, would it take to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour?</em>

If locomotive have a constant net force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, then acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second, must be constant and can be found by the following expression:

$a = \frac{F}{m}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the freight train, measured in kilograms.

If we know that $F = 7.50\times 10^{5}\,N$ and $m = 1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg$ , then the acceleration experimented by the train is:

$a = \frac{7.50\times 10^{5}\,N}{1.83\times 10^{7}\,kg}$

$a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Now, the time taken to accelerate the freight train from rest ( $t$ ), measured in seconds, is determined by the following formula:

$t = \frac{v-v_{o}}{a}$ (2)

Where:

$v$ - Final speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

$v_{o}$ - Initial speed of the train, measured in meters per second.

If we know that $a = 4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , $v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v = 22.222\,\frac{m}{s}$ , the time taken by the freight train is:

$t = \frac{22.222\,\frac{m}{s}-0\,\frac{m}{s} }{4.098\times 10^{-2}\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} }$

$t = 542.265\,s$

The freight train would take 542.265 second to increase the speed of the train from rest to 80.0 kilometers per hour.
