The charge density of the sheet is 1.384×10⁻⁷C/m².

Charge density is defined as the charge per unit area.

The sheet is a square of length l=17 cm.

Calculate the area A of the sheet .

$A=l^2=(17 cm)^2= (17*10^-^2m)^2=0.0289 m^2$

The charge Q on the sheet is

$Q=4nC=4*10^-^9C$

The charge density σ is given by,

$\sigma=\frac{Q}{A}$

Substitute 4×10⁻⁹C for Q and 0.0289 m² for A.

$\sigma=\frac{Q}{A}\\ =\frac{4*10^-^9C}{0.0289 m^2} \\ =1.389*10^-^7C/m^2$

Thus, the charge density of the sheet is <u>1.384×10⁻⁷C/m².</u>

Answer:

0.3677181864 m

Explanation:

u = Velocity = 1.5 m/s

$\theta$ = Angle = 20°

y = -20 cm

Velocity components

$u_x=ucos\theta\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.5cos20\\\Rightarrow u_x=1.40953\ m/s$

$u_y=usin\theta\\\Rightarrow u_y=1.5sin20\\\Rightarrow u_y=0.51303\ m/s$

Acceleration components

$a_x=0$

$a_y=-9.81\ m/s^2$

$y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow -0.2=0.51303\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow 4.905t^2-0.51303t-0.2=0$

$t=\frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)+\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}, \frac{-\left(-0.51303\right)-\sqrt{\left(-0.51303\right)^2-4\cdot \:4.905\left(-0.2\right)}}{2\cdot \:4.905}\\\Rightarrow t=0.26088, -0.15629$

Time taken is 0.26088 seconds

$x=u_xt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_xt^2\\\Rightarrow x=1.40953\times 0.26088\\\Rightarrow x=0.3677181864\ m$

The distance the beetle travels on the ground is 0.3677181864 m

An object has a position given by r = [2.0 m + (2.00 m/s)t] i + [3.0 m − (1.00 m/s^2)t^2] j, where quantities are in SI units. W

lidiya [134]

Answer: 1 m/s

Explanation:

We have an object whose position $r$ is given by a vector, where the components X and Y are identified by the unit vectors $i$ and $j$ (where each unit vector is defined to have a magnitude of exactly one):

$r=[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + [3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j$

On the other hand, velocity is defined as the variation of the position in time:

$V=\frac{dr}{dt}$

This means we have to derive $r$ :

$\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[2 m + (2 m/s) t] i + \frac{d}{dt}[3 m - (1 m/s^{2})t^{2}] j$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} t) j$ This is the velocity vector

And when $t=2s$ the velocity vector is:

$\frac{dr}{dt}=(2 m/s) i - (\frac{1}{2} m/s^{2} (2 s)) j$

$\frac{dr}{dt}=2 m/s i - 1m/s j$ This is the velocity vector at 2 seconds

However, the solution is not complete yet, we have to find the module of this velocity vector, which is the speed $S$ :

$S=\sqrt {-1 m/s j + 2 m/s i}$

$S=\sqrt {1 m/s}$

Finally:

$S=1 m/s$ This is the speed of the object at 2 seconds

How is a seismograph similar to an X-ray?

aleksklad [387]

Answer: Seismograph is an instrument that is used to measure the vibration of the earthquake. It is based on seismic waves. X ray is an electromagnetic energy wave that is used for CAT ( computerized axial tomography) scan.

Hence, both seismic wave and X ray are energy waves.

The velocity of seismic waves is different in different media. Similarly, X ray loses its amplitude depending upon the dense layer of the tissue.
