The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el

ectric field at twice the distance from the point charge?
a.) At twice the distance, the strength of the field is E/2.
b.) At twice the distance, the strength of the field is 2E.
c.)At twice the distance, the strength of the field is 4E.
d.)At twice the distance, the strength of the field remains equal to E.
e.)At twice the distance, the strength of the field is E/4.

Answer:

e.)At twice the distance, the strength of the field is E/4.

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a 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 point charge

In this problem, the distance from the point charge is doubled:

r' = 2r

So the new electric field strength is

E'=k\frac{Q}{(2r)^2}=k \frac{Q}{4 r^2}=\frac{1}{4} (k\frac{Q}{r^2})=\frac{E}{4}

so, at twice the distance the strength of the field is E/4.

<h2>Apartment Explosion Reported </h2>

The apartment’s explosion, reportedly caused by a gas leak, produced a violent release of gas and heat. The heat increased the temperature of the air in the room, which means an increase in the air's molecular kinetic energy.

When heat is provided then temperature increases and the molecules of substances move rapidly by increase of kinetic energy (K.E) temperature increases. It is understood that heat increases temperature.

A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling north at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. Assume
dalvyx [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the car 1, m_1=900\ kg

Initial speed of car 1, u_1=15i\ m/s (east)

Mass of the car 2, m_2=750\ kg

Initial speed of car 2, u_1=20j\ m/s (north)

(b) As the cars stick together. It is a case of inelastic collision. Let V is the common speed after the collision. Using the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

900\times 15i +750\times 20j=(900+750)V

13500i+15000j=1650V

V=(8.18i+9.09j)\ m/s

The magnitude of speed,

|V|=\sqrt{8.18^2+9.09^2}

V = 12.22 m/s

(b) Let \theta is the direction the wreckage move just after the collision. It is given by :

tan\theta=\dfrac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta=\dfrac{9.09}{8.18}

\theta=48.01^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

Eac of the two Straight Parallel Lines Each of two very long, straight, parallel lines carries a positive charge of 24.00 m C/m.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field at a point equidistant from the lines is 4.08\times10^{5}\ N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Positive charge = 24.00  μC/m

Distance = 4.10 m

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of angle

\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{\dfrac{d}{2}}{2d})

\theta=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{4})

\theta=14.47^{\circ}

We need to calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point equidistant from the lines

Using formula of electric field

E=\dfrac{2k\lambda}{r}\times2\cos\theat

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{2\times9\times10^{9}\times24.00\times2\times10^{-6}\cos14.47}{2.05}

E=408094.00\ N/C

E=4.08\times10^{5}\ N/C

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field at a point equidistant from the lines is 4.08\times10^{5}\ N/C
