The formula for the electric field generated by a charged rod is:

E = k Q / [D (D + L)]

Where,

E = electric field

k = Coulomb’s constant = 9 * 10^9 N m^2 / c^2

Q = total charge = -20.0 µc = -20.0 * 10^-6 c

L = length of rod = 12.0 cm = 0.12 m

D = distance from the center = 32.0 – 12.0 cm = 0.20 m

 

Substituting the known values to the formula:

E = (9 * 10^9 N m^2 / c^2) * (-20.0 * 10^-6 c) / [0.20 m (0.20 m + 0.12 m)]

E = -2,812,500 N

Since E is negative therefore E is pointing towards the center of the rod.

A cart moves along a track at a velocity of 3.5 cm/s. When a force is applied to the cart, its velocity increases to 8.2 cm/s. I
zheka24 [161]
The first thing we are going to do for this case is write the equations of movement of the car.
 We have then:
 vf = a * t + vo
 Substituting values:
 8.2 = a * (1.5) + (3.5)
 Clearing the acceleration we have:
 a = (8.2-3.5) / (1.5)
 a = 3.1 m / s ^ 2
 Answer: 
 the acceleration of the cart is: 
 a = 3.1 m / s ^ 2

The top floor of the Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow is located at a height of 360.4 m. Assume a stone is dropped from this top flo
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

x=360.4-4.905t^2

8.57181 s

84.0894561 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Let distance from ground be x

From equation of motion we have

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Here, distance covered while the stone is falling will be 360.4-x

360.4-x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 360.4-x=\frac{1}{2}9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 360.4-x=4.905t^2\\\Rightarrow x=360.4-4.905t^2

The equation is x=360.4-4.905t^2

At the ground x = 0

0=360.4-4.905t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{-360.4}{-4.905}}\\\Rightarrow t=8.57181\ s

The time taken by the stone to fall to the ground is 8.57181 s

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 8.57181\\\Rightarrow v=84.0894561\ m/s

The velocity of the stone when it reaches the ground is 84.0894561 m/s

A bottle lying on the windowsill falls off and takes 4.95 seconds to reach the ground. The distance from the windowsill to the g
Liula [17]
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is 
                        D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²) 
           Distance  =  (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)

We want to see how the time will be affected 
if  ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does. 
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '.                                                      D  =  (1/2) (g) (t²)

Multiply each side by  2 :         2 D  =            g    t²  

Divide each side by ' g ' :      2 D/g =                  t² 

Square root each side:        t = √ (2D/g)

Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:

  -- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'

                                             and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .-- 

They don't change by the same factor, because  1/g  is inside the square root.  So 't' changes the same amount as  √1/g  does.

Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly  1/6  the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.

So we expect ' t ' to increase by  √6  =  2.45 times.

It would take the same bottle  (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h
Luda [366]

Disagree

Explanation:

Fluoresce objects will glow when put under Ultraviolet light as the molecules are excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules
