Answer : Charge, $q=3.0\ \muC$

Explanation :

It is given that :

Electric field, $E=4286\ N/C$

Distance, $r=2.5\ m$

We know that the electric field at any point is given by :

$E=k\dfrac{q}{r^2}$

k is the electrostatic constant.

q is the electric charge

r is the distance.

$q=\dfrac{E\times r^2}{k}$

$q=\dfrac{4286\ N/C\times (2.5\ m)^2}{9\times 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2}$

$q=0.0000029\ C$

$q=2.9\ \mu C$

or

$q=3.0\ \mu C$

The correct option is (b).

Hence, this is the required solution.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy stored in the spring is used to throw the ball upwards . Let the height reached be h

stored energy of spring = 1/2 k y² , k is spring constant and y is compression created in the spring

stored energy of spring = potential energy of the ball

1/2 k y² = mgh , m is mass of the ball , h is height attained by ball

.5 k x .055² = .025 x 2.84

.0015125 k = .071

k = .071 / .0015125

= 46.9 N / m .

Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are

ehidna [41]

Answer

The Value of r = 0.127

Explanation:

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in series is

$R_T = R_1 +R_2$

And from Ohm law

$I_s =\frac{ V}{R_T}$

$I_s = \frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2} ---(1)$

The mathematical representation of the two resistors connected in parallel is

$R_T = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}$

$= \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 +R_2}$

From the question $I_p =10I_s$

=> $I_p =10I_s = \frac{V_0 }{\frac{R_1R_2}{R_1 +R_2} } = \frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}---(2)$

Dividing equation 2 with equation 1

=> $\frac{10I_s}{I_s} =\frac{\frac{V_0 (R_1 +R_2)}{R_1 R_2}}{\frac{V_0}{R_1 +R_2}}$

$10 = \frac{(R_1+R_2)^2}{R_1 R_2}----(3)$

We are told that $r = \frac{R_1}{R_2} \ \ \ \ \ = > R_1 = rR_2$

From equation 3

$10 = \frac{(1-r)^2}{r}$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 1+r^2 + 2r = 10r$

$=> \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ r^2 -8r+1 = 0$

Using the quadratic formula

$r =\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{(b^2 - 4ac)} }{2a}$

a = 1 b = -8 c =1

$= \frac{8 \pm\sqrt{((-8)^2- (4*1*1))} }{2*1}$

$r= \frac{8+ \sqrt{60} }{2} \ or \ r = \frac{8 - \sqrt{60} }{2}$

$r = \ 7.87\ or \ r \ = \ 0.127$

Now r = 0.127 because it is the least value among the obtained values

Julius competes in the hammer throw event. The hammer has a mass of 7.26 kg and is 1.215 m long. What is the centripetal force o

nevsk [136]

In the circular motion of the hammer, the centripetal force is given by
$F=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where m is the mass of the hammer, v its tangential speed and r is the distance from the center of the motion, i.e. the length of the hammer.
Using the data of the problem, we find:
$F=m \frac{v^2}{r}=(7.26 kg) \frac{(31.95 m/s)^2}{1.215 m}=6100 N$

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

529.15 m/s

Explanation:

h = Maximum height = 70000 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2 m/s²

m = Mass of sulfur

As the potential and kinetic energies are conserved

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2\times 70000}\\\Rightarrow v=529.15\ m/s$

The speed with which the liquid sulfur left the volcano is 529.15 m/s
