Answer:

1.8 x 10⁻⁷ N/m

Explanation:

F_{max} = maximum force with which the optical trap can pull = 11 x 10⁻¹⁵ N

x = stretch caused in DNA molecule due to the force = 0.06 x 10⁻⁶ m

k = spring constant of the spring

Maximum force is given as

F_{max}= k x

11\times 10^{-15}= k (0.06\times 10^{-6})

k = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ N/m

4 A wheel starts from rest and has an angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s2. When it has made 10 rev determine its angular velocity
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

w_f= 22.41rad/s

Explanation:

First, we know that:

a = 4 rad/s^2

S = 10 rev = 62.83 rad

Now we know that:

w_f^2-w_i^2=2aS

where w_f is the final angular velocity, w_i the initial angular velocity, a is the angular aceleration and S the radians.

Replacing, we get:

w_f^2-(0)^2=2(4)(62.83)

Finally, solving for w_f:

w_f= 22.41rad/s

What is the mass of a large dog that weighs 441 newtons
PtichkaEL [24]
Weight, w = mg.            g ≈ 9.8 m/s².  m = mass in kg. w is weight in N

441 N = m* 9.8

9.8m = 441

m = 441/9.8

m = 45 kg.

Mass of the dog is = 45 kg

A 0.305 kg book rests at an angle against one side of a bookshelf. The magnitude and direction of the total force exerted on the
tankabanditka [31]

Answer

given,

F_L= 1.52\ N

\theta_L= 31^0

mass of book = 0.305 Kg

so, from the diagram attached  below

F_L cos {\theta_L} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = m g

1.52 times cos {31^0} + F_b sin {\theta_b} = 0.305 \times 9.8

F_b sin {\theta_b} = 2.989 -1.303

F_b sin {\theta_b} = 1.686

computing horizontal component

F_b cos {\theta_b} = F_L sin {\theta_L}

cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{F_L sin {\theta_L}}{F_b}

cos {\theta_b} = \dfrac{1.52 \times sin {31^0}}{1.686}

cos {\theta_b} = 0.464

θ = 62.35°

An infinite sheet of charge is located in the y-z plane at x = 0 and has uniform charge denisity σ1 = 0.51 μC/m2. Another infini
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

 E_total = 5.8 10⁴ N /C

Explanation:

In this problem they ask to find the electric field at two points, the electric field is a vector magnitude, so we can find the field for each charged shoah and add them vectorally at the point of interest.

To find the electric field of a charged conductive sheet, we can use the Gauss law,

        Ф = E. d S = q_{int} / ε₀

Let us use as a Gaussian surface a small cylinder, with the base parallel to the sheet, the electric field between the sheet and the normal one next to the cylinder has 90º, so its scalar product is zero, the electric field between the sheet and the base has An Angle of 0º, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

Let's look for the electric field for plate 1

The total flow is the same for each face, as there are two sides of the cylinder

       2E A = q_{int} /ε₀

For the internal load we use the concept of surface density

      σ = q_{int1} / A

      q_{int1} = σ₁ A

Let's replace

       2E A = σ₁ A /ε₀

        E₁ = σ₁ / 2ε₀

For the other plate we have a field with a similar expression, but of negative sign

       E₂ = -σ₂ / 2ε₀

The total field is,

        E_total = σ₁ / 2ε₀ + σ₂ / 2ε₀

       E_total = (σ₁ + σ₂) / 2ε₀

Let us apply this expression to our case, when placing a sheet without electric charge, a charge is induced for each sheet, the plate 1 that has a positive charge the electric field is protruding to the right and the plate 2 that has a negative charge creates a incoming field, to the right, as the two fields have the same address add

           The conductive sheet in the middle pate undergoes an induced load that is created by the other two plates, but because the conductive plate the charges are mobile and are replaced.

       E_total = (0.51 +0.52) 10⁻⁶ / 2 8.85 10⁻¹²

       E_total = 5.8 10⁴ N /C

Note that the field is independent of the distance between the plates
