Answer: The direction of the electric field, E→, is pointed in the +y direction.
Explanation:
One can use the right hand rule to illustrate the direction of travel of an electromagnetic and thereby get the directions of the electric field, magnetic field and direction of travel of the wave.
The right hand rule states that the direction of the thumb indicate the direction of travel of the electromagnetic wave (<em>in this case the -z direction</em>) and the curling of the fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field B→ (<em>in this case the +x direction</em>), therefore, the electric field direction E→ is in the direction of the fingers which would be pointed towards the +y direction.
Answer:
-40 kJ
80 kJ
Explanation:
Work is equal to the area under the pressure vs volume graph.
W = ∫ᵥ₁ᵛ² P dV
2.27) Pressure and volume are linearly related. When we graph P vs V, the area under the line is a trapezoid. So the work is:
W = ½ (P₁ + P₂) (V₂ − V₁)
W = ½ (100 kPa + 300 kPa) (0.1 m³ − 0.3 m³)
W = -40 kJ
2.29) Pressure and volume are inversely proportional:
pV = k
The initial pressure and volume are 500 kPa and 0.1 m³. So the constant is:
(500) (0.1) = k
k = 50
The final pressure is 100 kPa. So the final volume is:
(100) V = 50
V = 0.5
The work is therefore:
W = ∫ᵥ₁ᵛ² P dV
W = ∫₀₁⁰⁵ (50/V) dV
W = 50 ln(V) |₀₁⁰⁵
W = 50 (ln 0.5 − ln 0.1)
W ≈ 80 kJ
You can reason it out like this:
-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.
-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.
-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s
-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s
= 3,600 meters .
___________________________________
The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for
distance covered when accelerating from rest:
Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²
= (1/2) · (8 m/s²) · (30 sec)²
= (4 m/s²) · (900 sec²)
= 3600 meters.

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.
When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds.
How does he do that ?
By accelerating at 8 m/s². That's about 0.82 G !
He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !
He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.
Answer:
20 cm
Explanation:
Te electric potential enery U = kq₁q₂/r were q₁ = 5 nC = 5 × 10⁻⁹ C and q₂ = -2 nC = -2 × 10⁻⁹ C and r = √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² +(0 - 0)² = x - 2. U = -0.5 µJ = -0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J, k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².
So r = kq₁q₂/U
x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U
x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m
x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J
x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J
x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m = 20 cm
