Answer:

$1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C$

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge is given by:

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

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have

E = 1.0 N/C (magnitude of the electric field)

r = 1.0 m (distance from the charge)

Solving the equation for q, we find the charge:

$q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(1.0 N/c)(1.0 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2c^{-2}}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10}C$

A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along

storchak [24]

Answer:

$v = \frac{kQ}{a}$

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}$

Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

$dv = \frac{kdq}{r}$

where k is the coulomb's constant

r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

$v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}$

$v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq$

$v = \frac{kQ}{a}$ Potential at the center of the semicircle

A power station burns 75 kilograms of coal per second. Each kg of coal contains 27 million joules of energy.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

one kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ J

75 kg of coal gives energy of 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

So rate which energy is coming out of coal per second

= 27 x 10⁶ x 75 J

= 2025 x 10⁶ J /s

2025 million watts .

b ) energy output = 800 million watts

efficiency = (800 / 2025) x 100

= 39.5 % .

An object begins at position x = 0 and moves one-dimensionally along the x-axis witļi a velocity v

Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is "between 20 s and 30 s".

Explanation:

Calculating the value of positive displacement:

$\ (x_{+ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times 20 \\\\$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 300 \\\\= 150 \\\\$

Calculating the value of negative displacement upon the time t:

$(x_{-ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 20- 20(t-20) \\\\$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 100- 20t+ 400 \\\\= 50- 20t+ 400 \\\\$

$\to X= X_{+ve} + X_{-ve} \\\\$

$\to 150 - 50 -20t+400 =0\\\\\to 100 -20t+400 =0 \\\\\to 500 -20t =0\\\\\to 20t =500 \\\\\to t=\frac{500}{20}\\\\\to t=\frac{50}{2}\\\\\to t= 25$

That's why its value lie in "between 20 s and 30 s".

A sailboat starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of 0.21 m/s^2 over a distance of 280 m. find the magnitude of the boat's f

sasho [114]

We use the kinematic equations,

$v=u+at$ (A)

$S= ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2$ (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Given, $u=0$ , $a=0.21 \ m/s^2$ and $s= 280 m$ .

Substituting these values in equation (B), we get

$280 \ m = 0 +\frac{1}{2} (0.21 m/s^2) t^2 \\\\ t^2 = \frac{280 \times 2}{0.21 } \\\\ t= 51.63 \ s$ .

Therefore from equation (A),

$v = 0 + (0.21) \times (51.63 s)= 10.84 \ m/s$

Thus, the magnitude of the boat's final velocity is 10.84 m/s and the time taken by boat to travel the distance 280 m is 51.63 s

Two long, parallel wires carry unequal currents in the same direction. The ratio of the currents is 3 to 1. The magnitude of the

astraxan [27]

Answer:

3A is the larger of the two currents.

Explanation:

Let the currents in the two wires be I₁ and I₂

given:

Magnitude of the electric field, B = 4.0μT = 4.0×10⁻⁶T

Distance, R = 10cm = 0.1m

Ratio of the current = I₁ : I₂ = 3 : 1

Now, the magnitude of a magnetic field at a distance 'R' due to the current 'I' is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi R}$

Where $\mu_o$ is the magnitude constant = 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

Thus, the magnitude of a magnetic field due to I₁ will be

$B_1 = \frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}$

$B_2 = \frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}$

given,

B = B₁ - B₂ (since both the currents are in the same direction and parallel)

substituting the values of B, B₁ and B₂

we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{\mu_oI_1}{2\pi R}$ - $\frac{\mu_oI_2}{2\pi R}$

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{\mu_o}{2\pi R}\times (I_1-I_2 )$

also

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{3}{1}$

⇒ $I_1 = 3\times I_2$

substituting the values in the above equation we get

4.0×10⁻⁶T = $\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}}{2\pi 0.1}\times (3 I_2-I_2)$

⇒ $I_2 = 1A$

also

$I_1 = 3\times I_2$

⇒ $I_1 = 3\times 1A$

⇒ $I_1 = 3A$

Hence, the larger of the two currents is 3A
