Charge: A piece of plastic has a net charge of +2.00 μC. How many more protons than electrons does this piece of plastic have? (

snow_lady [41]

Answer

given,

net charge = +2.00 μC

we know,

1 coulomb charge = 6.28 x 10¹⁸electrons

1 micro coulomb charge = 6.28 x 10¹⁸ x 10⁻⁶ electron

= 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

2.00 μC = 2 x 6.28 x 10¹² electrons

= 1.256 x 10¹³ electrons

since net charge is positive.

The number of protons should be 1.256 x 10¹³ more than electrons.

hence, +2.00 μC have 1.256 x 10¹³ more protons than electrons.

A point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±qseparated by a distance s. T

atroni [7]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on the dipole due to the charge Q = $\rm \dfrac{1}{\epsilon_o}\times \dfrac{1}{4\pi }\dfrac{2qQs}{r^3}.$

The magnitude of the torque on the dipole = $\rm \dfrac{1}{\epsilon_o}\times \dfrac{1}{4\pi}\dfrac{2qQs^2}{r^3}.$

Explanation:

Given that a point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±q, separated by a distance s and the charge Q is located in the plane that bisects the dipole.

The magnitude of the electric field that the dipole exerts at the position where the charge Q is held is given by

$\rm E = \dfrac{k2qs}{(r^2+s^2)^{3/2}}.$

<em>where</em>,

k is the Coulomb's constant, having value = $\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}$

$\epsilon_o$ is the electrical permittivity of free space.

Also, r>>s, therefore, $\rm r^2+s^2\approx r^2.$

$\rm E = \dfrac{k2qs}{(r^2)^{3/2}}=\dfrac{k2qs}{r^3}.$

The magnitude of the electric force F on a charge q placed at a point and the magnitude of the electric field E at that point are related as

$\rm F=qE$

Therefore, the electric force on the charge Q due to the dipole is given by

$\rm F=Q\dfrac{k2qs}{r^3}=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{2qQs}{r^3}.$

According to Newton's third law of motion, the magnitude of the force exerted by the dipole on the charge Q is same as the magnitude of the force exerted by the charge on the dipole.

Thus, the magnitude of the force on the dipole due to the charge Q = $\dfrac{1}{\epsilon_o}\times \dfrac{1}{4\pi }\dfrac{2qQs}{r^3}.$

The magnitude of the torque on the dipole is given by

$\rm \tau = Fs\ \sin\theta$

Since the charge Q is placed in the plane that bisects the dipole, therefore, $\theta = 90^\circ$ .

$\rm \tau = \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{2qQs}{r^3}\cdot s\cdot 1=\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{2qQs^2}{r^3}.$

A flywheel of mass M is rotating about a vertical axis with angular velocity ω0. A second flywheel of mass M/5 is not rotating a

Contact [7]

Answer:

0.83 ω

Explanation:

mass of flywheel, m = M

initial angular velocity of the flywheel, ω = ωo

mass of another flywheel, m' = M/5

radius of both the flywheels = R

let the final angular velocity of the system is ω'

Moment of inertia of the first flywheel , I = 0.5 MR²

Moment of inertia of the second flywheel, I' = 0.5 x M/5 x R² = 0.1 MR²

use the conservation of angular momentum as no external torque is applied on the system.

I x ω = ( I + I') x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = (0.5 MR² + 0.1 MR²) x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = 0.6 MR² x ω'

ω' = 0.83 ω

Thus, the final angular velocity of the system of flywheels is 0.83 ω.

A 25cm×25cm horizontal metal electrode is uniformly charged to +50 nC . What is the electric field strength 2.0 mm above the cen

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The electric field strength is $4.5\times 10^{4} N/C$

Solution:

As per the question:

Area of the electrode, $A_{e} = 25\times 25\times 10^{- 4} m^{2} = 0.0625 m^{2}$

Charge, q = 50 nC = $50\times 10^{- 9} C[/etx]Distance, x = 2 mm = [tex]2\times 10^{- 3} m$

Now,

To calculate the electric field strength, we first calculate the surface charge density which is given by:

$\sigma = \frac{q}{A_{e}} = \frac{50\times 10^{- 9}}{0.0625} = 8\times 10^{- 7}C/m^{2}$

Now, the electric field strength of the electrode is:

$\vec{E} = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_{o}}$

where

$\epsilon_{o} = 8.85\times 10^{- 12} F/m$

$\vec{E} = \frac{8\times 10^{- 7}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{- 12}}$

$\vec{E} = 4.5\times 10^{4} N/C$

José is pinned against the walls of the Rotor, a ride with a radius of 3.00 meters that spins so fast that the floor can be remo

zaharov [31]

r = radius of the circle of the ride = 3.00 meters

v = linear speed of the person during the ride = 17.0 m/s

m = mass of the person in angular motion in the ride

L = angular momentum of the person in the ride = 3570 kg m²/s

Angular momentum is given as

L = m v r

inserting the values

3570 kg m²/s = m (17 m/s) (3.00 m)

m = 3570 kg m²/s/(51 m²/s)

m = 7 kg

hence the mass comes out to be 7 kg
