Answer:

a) V_a = -5.7536 10⁺⁷ V , b) Vb = -1.92 10⁻⁷ V c) the sign of the potential change

Explanation:

The electrical potential for a point charge

V = k q / r

Where k is the Coulomb constant that you are worth 8.99 10⁹ N m² / C²

a) potential At point x = 0.250 cm = 0.250 10-2m

V_a = -8.99 10⁹ 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ /0.250 10⁻²

V_a = -5.7536 10⁺⁷ V

b) point x = 0.750 cm = 0.750 10-2

Vb = 8.99 10⁹ (-1.6 10⁻¹⁹) /0.750 10⁻²

Vb = -1.92 10⁻⁷ V

potemcial difference

ΔV = Vb- Va

V_ba = (-5.7536 + 1.92) 10⁻⁷

V_ba = -3.83 10⁻⁷ V

c) To know what would happen to a particle, let's use the relationship between the potential and the electric field

ΔV = E d

The force on the particle is

F = q₀ E

F = q₀ ΔV / d

We see that the force on the particle depends on the sign of the burden of proof. Now the burden of proof is negative to pass between the two points you have to reverse the sign of the potential, bone that the value should be reversed

V_ba = 0.83 10⁻⁷ V

In which case does viscosity play a dominant role? Case A: a typical bacterium (size ~ 1 mm1 mm and velocity ~ 20 mm/s20 mm/s) i

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Case A

Explanation:

given,

size of bacteria = 1 mm x 1 mm

velocity = 20 mm/s

size of the swimmer = 1.5 m x 1.5 m

velocity of swimmer = 3 m/s

Viscous force

$F = \eta A \dfrac{dv}{dx}$

for the bacteria

$F = \eta \times 10^{-6}\times 20\times 10^{-3}$

$F =2\times 10^{-8} \eta\ N$

for the swimmer

$F = \eta \times 1.5^2\times 3$

$F =6.75 \eta\ N$

from the above force calculation

In case B inertial force that represent mass is more than the inertial force in case of bacteria.

Viscous force is dominant in case of bacteria.

So, In Case A viscous force will be dominant.

If the charge that enters each meter of the axon gets distributed uniformly along it, how many coulombs of charge enter a 0.100

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon is $8.98\times 10^{-12} C$

Explanation:

Electric field E at a point due to a point charge is given by

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

where $k$ is the constant = $9.0 \times 10^9 Nm^2 / C^2$

$q$ is the magnitude of point charge and $r$ is the distance from the point charge

Charges entering one meter of axon is $5.\times 10^{11} \times (+e)$

Charges entering 0.100 mm of axon is $5.\times 10^{11} \times (+e) \times (0.1 \times 10^{-3}$

substituting the value of $+e=1.6\times 10^{-19} C$ in above equation, we get charge enter a 0.100 mm length of the axon is

$q=5.\times 10^{11} \times1.6\times 10^{-19} \times (0.1 \times 10^{-3}\\q=8.98\times 10^{-12} C$

Carts A and B are identical and are moving toward each other on a track. The speed of cart A is v, while the speed of cart B is

borishaifa [10]

Answer: k= $\frac{5mv^{2} }{2}$

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for kinetic energy is given below as

k = $\frac{mv^{2} }{2}$

where k=kinetic energy (joules), m= mass of object (kg), v= velocity of object m/s)

For cart A

$m_{a}$ = mass of cart A

$v_{a}$ = v = velocity of cart A

$K.E_{a}$ = kinetic energy of cart A

hence, $K.E_{a}$ = $\frac{m_{a}v^{2} }{2}$

For cart B

$m_{b}$ = mass of cart B

$v_{b}$ = 2v = velocity of cart B

$K.E_{b}$ = kinetic energy of cart B

hence, $K.E_{b}$ = $\frac{m_{b}(2v^{2}) }{2}$ = 2 $m_{b} v^{2}$

from the question, both cart are identical which implies they have the same mass i.e $m_{a}$ = $m_{b}$ = m which implies that

$K.E_{a}= \frac{mv^{2} }{2}$ and $K.E_{b} =2mv^{2}$

The total kinetic energy K is the sum of cart A and cart B kinetic energy

$K=K.E_{a} + K.E_{b}$

$K=\frac{mv^{2} }{2} + 2mv^{2}$

hence

$K=\frac{5mv^{2} }{2}$
