Answer:
E = 326.17 N/C
Explanation:
(a) In order to calculate the magnitude of the electric field between the parallel plates you first calculate the acceleration of the proton. You use the following formula:
[tex]x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] (1)
vo: initial speed of the proton = 0m/s
t: time that the proton takes to cross the space between the plates = 3.20*10^-6 s
a: acceleration of the proton = ?
x: distance traveled by the proton = 1.60cm = 0.016m
You solve the equation (1) for a, and replace the values of all parameters:
[tex]a=\frac{2x}{t^2}=\frac{2(0.016m)}{(3.20*10^{-6}s)^2}=3.125*10^{10}\frac{m}{s^2}[/tex]
Next, you use the Newton second law for the electric force, to find the magnitude of the electric field:
[tex]F_e=qE=ma[/tex] (2)
q: charge of the proton = 1.6*10^-19C
m: mass of the proton = 1.77*10^-27kg
You solve the equation (2) for E:
[tex]E=\frac{ma}{q}=\frac{(1.67*10^{-27}kg)(3.125*10^{10}m/s^2)}{1.6*10^{-19}C}\\\\E=326.17\frac{N}{C}[/tex]
The magnitude of the electric field in between the parallel plates is 326.17N/C
The Huka Falls on the Waikato River is one of New Zealand's most visited natural tourist attractions. On average, the river has a flow rate of about 300,000 L/s. At the gorge, the river narrows to 20-m wide and averages 20-m deep.
(a) What is the average speed of the river in the gorge?
(b) What is the average speed of the water in the river downstream of the falls when it widens to 60 m and its depth increases to an average of 40 m?
Answer:
(a) V = 0.75 m/s
(b) V = 0.125 m/s
Explanation:
The speed of the flow of the river can be given by following formula:
V = Q/A
V = Q/w d
where,
V = Speed of Flow of River
Q = Volume Flow Rate of River
w = width of river
d = depth of river
A = Area of Cross-Section of River = w d
(a)
Here,
Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s
w = 20 m
d = 20 m
Therefore,
V = (300 m³/s)/(20 m)(20 m)
V = 0.75 m/s
(b)
Here,
Q = (300,000 L/s)(0.001 m³/1 L) = 300 m³/s
w = 60 m
d = 40 m
Therefore,
V = (300 m³/s)/(60 m)(40 m)
V = 0.125 m/s
Approximately what applied force is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before? Explain
Complete question:
A force F is applied to the block as shown (check attached image). With an applied force of 1.5 N, the block moves with a constant velocity.
Approximately what applied force is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before? Explain
Answer:
The applied force that is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before, is 3 N
Force is directly proportional to velocity, to keep the box moving at the double of initial constant velocity, we must also double the value of the initially applied force.
Explanation:
Given;
magnitude of applied force, F = 1.5 N
Apply Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
[tex]F = m(\frac{v}{t} )\\\\F = \frac{m}{t} v\\\\Let \ \frac{m}{t} \ be \ constant = k\\F = kv\\\\k = \frac{F}{v} \\\\\frac{F_1}{v_1} = \frac{F_2}{v_2}[/tex]
The applied force needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before;
[tex]\frac{F_1}{v_1} = \frac{F_2}{v_2} \\\\(v_2 = 2v_1, \ and \ F_1 = 1.5N)\\\\\frac{1.5}{v_1} = \frac{F_2}{2v_1} \\\\1.5 = \frac{F_2}{2}\\\\F_2 = 2*1.5\\\\F_2 = 3 N[/tex]
Therefore, the applied force that is needed to keep the box moving with a constant velocity that is twice as fast as before, is 3 N
Force is directly proportional to velocity, to keep the box moving at the double of initial constant velocity, we must also double the value of the applied force.
A hollow conducting spherical shell has radii of 0.80 m and 1.20 m, The radial component of the electric field at a point that is 0.60 m from the center is closest to
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The electric field at that point is [tex]E = 7500 \ N/C[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The radius of the inner circle is [tex]r_i = 0.80 \ m[/tex]
The radius of the outer circle is [tex]r_o = 1.20 \ m[/tex]
The charge on the spherical shell [tex]q_n = -500nC = -500*10^{-9} \ C[/tex]
The magnitude of the point charge at the center is [tex]q_c = + 300 nC = + 300 * 10^{-9} \ C[/tex]
The position we are considering is x = 0.60 m from the center
Generally the electric field at the distance x = 0.60 m from the center is mathematically represented as
[tex]E = \frac{k * q_c }{x^2}[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = \frac{k * q_c }{x^2}[/tex]
where k is the coulomb constant with value [tex]k = 9*10^{9} \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]E = \frac{9*10^9 * 300 *10^{-9}}{0.6^2}[/tex]
[tex]E = 7500 \ N/C[/tex]

In a ballistic pendulum experiment, a small marble is fired into a cup attached to the end of a pendulum. If the mass of the marble is 0.0215 kg and the mass of the pendulum is 0.250 kg, how high h will the pendulum swing if the marble has an initial speed of 5.15 m/s? Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at its end so that linear momentum is conserved during this collision.
Answer:
h = 8.48*10^-3m
Explanation:
In order to calculate the height reached by the pendulum with the marble, you first take into account the momentum conservation law, to calculate the speed of both pendulum and marble just after the collision.
The total momentum of the system before the collision is equal to the total momentum after:
[tex]m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v[/tex] (1)
Here you used the fact that the pendulum has its total mass concentrated at the end of the pendulum.
m1: mass of the marble = 0.0215kg
m2: mass of the pendulum concentrated at its end = 0.250kg
v1: horizontal speed of the arble before the collision = 5.15m/s
v2: horizontal speed of the pendulum before the collision = 0m/s
v: horizontal speed of both marble and pendulum after the collision = ?
You solve the equation (1) for v, and replace the values of the other parameters:
[tex]v=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}\\\\v=\frac{(0.0215kg)(5.15m/s)+(0.250kg)(0m/s)}{0.0215kg+0.250kg}=0.40\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
Next, you use the energy conservation law. In this case the kinetic energy of both marble and pendulum (just after the collision) is equal to the potential energy of the system when both marble and pendulum reache a height h:
[tex]U=K\\\\(m_1+m_2)gh=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2\\\\h=\frac{v^2}{2g}[/tex]
v = 0.40m/s
g: gravitational acceleration = 9,8m/s^2
[tex]h=\frac{(0.40m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)}=8.48*10^{-3}m[/tex]
Then, the height reached by marble and pendulum is 8.48*10^-3m

A d'Arsonal meter with an internal resistance of 1 kohm requires 10 mA to produce full-scale deflection. Calculate thew value of a series
A d’Arsonval meter with an internal resistance of 1 kΩ requires 10 mA to produce full-scale deflection. Calculate the value of a series resistance needed to measure 50 V of full scale.
Answer:4kΩ
Explanation:Given;
internal resistance, r = 1kΩ
current, I = 10mA = 0.01A
Voltage of full scale, V = 50V
Since there is full scale voltage of 50V, then the combined or total resistance (R) of the circuit is given as follows;
From Ohm's law
V = IR
R = [tex]\frac{V}{I}[/tex] [substitute the values of V and I]
R = [tex]\frac{50}{0.01}[/tex]
R = 5000Ω = 5kΩ
The combined resistance (R) is actually the total resistance of the series arrangement of the series resistance([tex]R_{S}[/tex]) and the internal resistance (r) in the circuit. i.e
R = [tex]R_{S}[/tex] + r
[tex]R_{S}[/tex] = R - r [Substitute the values of R and r]
[tex]R_{S}[/tex] = 5kΩ - 1kΩ
[tex]R_{S}[/tex] = 4kΩ
Therefore the series resistance is 4kΩ

What is the relationship between the magnitudes of the collision forces of two vehicles, if one of them travels at a higher speed?
Explanation:
The collision forces are equal and opposite. Therefore, the magnitudes are equal.
Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standing 3.00 m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the line joining the speakers, and hears a maximum in the intensity of the sound. Part A What is the lowest possible frequency of sound for which this is possible
Answer:
1089.74 Hz
Explanation:
Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find the distance from the point to the second speaker.
Thus;
d2 = √(3² + 2.3²)
d2 = √(9 + 5.29)
d2 = √14.29
d2 = 3.78 m
Then, the path distance which is the extra distance travelled would be;
Δd = d2 - d1
Δd = 3.78 - 3
Δd = 0.78 m
Now, the destructive interference condition is given by the formula;
Δd = (m + ½)λ
λ is the wavelength
m is a non - negative integer.
In this case, m = 2
Thus;
0.78 = (2 + ½)λ
λ = 0.78/(2½)
λ = 0.312 m
Now the formula for frequency of a wave is given by;
f = v/λ
Where v is speed of sound.
Thus;
f = 340/0.312
f = 1089.74 Hz
When moving to a new apartment, you rent a truck and create a ramp with a 244 cm long piece of plywood. The top of the moving ramp lies on the edge of the truck bed at a height of 115 cm. You load your textbooks into a wooden box at the bottom of the ramp (the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and ramp is = 0.2). Then you and a few friends give the box a quick push and it starts to slide up the ramp. A) What angle is made by the ramp and the ground?B) Unfortunately, after letting go, the box only tables 80cm up the ramp before it starts coming back down! What speed was the box initially traveling with just after you stopped pushing it?
Answer:
A) θ = 28.1º , B) v = 2.47 m / s
Explanation:
A) The angle of the ramp can be found using trigonometry
sin θ = y / L
Φ = sin⁻¹ y / L
θ = sin⁻¹ (115/244)
θ = 28.1º
B) For this pate we can use the relationship between work and kinetic energy
W =ΔK
where the work is
W = -fr x
the negative sign is due to the fact that the friction force closes against the movement
Lavariacion of energy cineta is
ΔEm = ½ m v² - mgh
-fr x = ½ m v² - m gh
the friction force has the equation
fr = very N
at the highest part there is no speed and we take the origin from the lowest part of the ramp
To find the friction force we use Newton's second law. Where one axis is parallel to the ramp and the other is perpendicular
Axis y . perpendicular
N- Wy = 0
cos tea = Wy / W
Wy = W cos treaa
N = mg cos tea

v2 = m (gh- very g cos tea x)
let's calculate
v = Ra (9.8 0.80 - 0.2 9.8 0.0 cos 28.1)

For the last part of the lab, you should have found the mass of the meter stick. So if a mass of 85 g was placed at the 2 cm MARK and the pivot point was moved to the 38.6 cm MARK, what would have been the mass of the meter stick
Answer:
272.89g
Explanation:
Find the diagram to the question in the attachment below;.
Using the principle of moment to solve the question which states that the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment.
Moment = Force * Perpendicular distance
Taking the moment of force about the pivot.
Anticlockwise moment:
The 85g mass will move in the anticlockwise
Moment of 85g mass = 85×36.6
= 3111gcm
Clockwise moment.
The mass of the metre stick M situated at the centre (50cm from each end) will move in the clockwise direction towards the pivot.
CW moment = 11.4×M = 11.4M
Equating CW moment to the ACW moment we will have;
11.4M = 3111
M = 3111/11.4
M = 272.89g
The mass of the metre stick is 272.89g

describe the relation among density, temperature, and volume when the pressure is constant, and explain the blackbody radiation curve
Answer:
in all cases with increasing temperature the density should decrease.
Black body radiation is a construction that maintains a constant temperature and a hole is opened, this hole is called a black body,
Explanation:
Let's start for ya dream gas
PV = nRT
Since it indicates that the pressure is constant, we see that the volume is directly proportional to the temperature.
The density of is defined by
ρ = m / V
As we saw that volume increases with temperature, this is also true for solid materials, using linear expansion. Therefore in all cases with increasing temperature the density should decrease.
Black body radiation is a construction that maintains a constant temperature and a hole is opened, this hole is called a black body, since all the radiation that falls on it is absorbed or emitted.
This type of construction has a characteristic curve where the maximum of the curve is dependent on the tempera, but independent of the material with which it is built, to explain the behavior of this curve Planck proposed that the diaconate in the cavity was not continuous but discrete whose energy is given by the relationship

A ballast is dropped from a stationary hot-air balloon that is at an altitude of 576 ft. Find (a) an expression for the altitude of the ballast after t seconds, (b) the time when it strikes the ground, and (c) its velocity when it strikes the ground. (Disregard air resistance and take ft/sec2.)
Answer:
a) [tex]S = \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\[/tex]b) 6secsc) 192ftExplanation:
If a ball dropped from a stationary hot-air balloon that is at an altitude of 576 ft, an expression for the altitude of the ballast after t seconds can be expressed using the equation of motion;
[tex]S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}[/tex]
S is the altitude of the ballest
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration of the body
t is the time taken to strike the ground
Since the body is dropped from a stationary air balloon, the initial velocity u will be zero i.e u = 0m/s
Also, since the ballast is dropped from a stationary hot-air balloon, the body is under the influence of gravity, the acceleration will become acceleration due to gravity i.e a = +g
Substituting this values into the equation of the motion;
[tex]S = 0 + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\ S = \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\[/tex]
a) An expression for the altitude of the ballast after t seconds is therefore
[tex]S = \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\[/tex]
b) Given S = 576ft and g = 32ft/s², substituting this into the formula in (a);
[tex]576 = \frac{1}{2}(32)t^2\\\\\\576*2 = 32t^2\\1152 = 32t^2\\t^2 = \frac{1152}{32} \\t^2 = 36\\t = \sqrt{36}\\ t = 6.0secs[/tex]
This means that the ballast strikes the ground after 6secs
c) To get the velocity when it strikes the ground, we will use the equation of motion v = u + gt.
v = 0 + 32(6)
v = 192ft
5. Sandor fills a bucket with water and whirls it in a vertical circle to demonstrate that the
water will not spill from the bucket at the top of the loop. If the length of the rope from his
hand to the centre of the bucket is 1.24 m, what is the minimum tension in the rope (at the
top of the swing)? How slow can he swing the bucket? Explain your answer.
Given that,
radius = 1.24 m
According to question,
The rope cannot push outwards. It must always have some slight tension or the bucket will fall.
We need to calculate the tension in the rope
At the top the force of gravity is
[tex]F=mg[/tex]
The force needed to move the bucket in a circle is centripetal force.
So, if mg is ever greater than centripetal force then the bucket and the contents will start to fall.
The rope have a tension of less than zero.
We need to calculate the velocity of swing bucket
Using centripetal force
[tex]F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
[tex]mg=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}[/tex]
[tex]g=\dfrac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
[tex]v^2=gr[/tex]
[tex]v=\sqrt{gr}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]v=\sqrt{9.8\times1.24}[/tex]
[tex]v=3.49\ m/s[/tex]
Hence, The minimum tension in the rope is less than zero .
The bucket swings with the velocity of 3.49 m/s.

A wheel starts from rest and rotates with constant angular acceleration to reach an angular speed of 12.9 rad/s in 2.98 s.
(a) Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the wheel.
(b) Find the angle in radians through which it rotates in this time interval.
Explanation:
(a) Find the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the wheel.
angular acceleration = angular speed /timeangular acceleration = 12.9/2.98 = 4.329rad/s²(b) Find the angle in radians through which it rotates in this time interval.
angular speed = 2x3.14xf12.9rad = 2 x3.14rad = 6.28/12.9rad = 0.487Now we convert rad to angle
1 rad = 57.296°0.487 = unknown angleunknown angle =57.296 x 0.487 = 27.9°The angle in radians = 27.9°
You illuminate a slit with a width of 77.7 μm with a light of wavelength 721 nm and observe the resulting diffraction pattern on a screen that is situated 2.83 m from the slit. What is the width, in centimeters, of the pattern's central maximum
Answer:
The width is [tex]Z = 0.0424 \ m[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The width of the slit is [tex]d = 77.7 \mu m = 77.7 *10^{-6} \ m[/tex]
The wavelength of the light is [tex]\lambda = 721 \ nm[/tex]
The position of the screen is [tex]D = 2.83 \ m[/tex]
Generally angle at which the first minimum of the interference pattern the light occurs is mathematically represented as
[tex]\theta = sin ^{-1}[\frac{m \lambda}{d} ][/tex]
Where m which is the order of the interference is 1
substituting values
[tex]\theta = sin ^{-1}[\frac{1 *721*10^{-9}}{ 77.7*10^{-6}} ][/tex]
[tex]\theta = 0.5317 ^o[/tex]
Now the width of first minimum of the interference pattern is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]Y = D sin \theta[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]Y = 2.283 * sin (0.5317)[/tex]
[tex]Y = 0.02 12 \ m[/tex]
Now the width of the pattern's central maximum is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]Z = 2 * Y[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]Z = 2 * 0.0212[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.0424 \ m[/tex]

Speed = 513.75 mile/hour
Speed = (513.75 mi/hr) x (1609.344 meter/mi) x (1 hr / 3600 sec)
Speed = (513.75 x 1609.344 / 3600) (mile-meter-hour/hour-mile-second)
Speed = 229.7 meter/second
The resonance tube used in this experiment produced only one resonance tone. What length of tube would be required to produce a second tone under the same experimental conditions? Explain your answer.
Answer:
the length that would produce a sound tone under the same experimental contditions must be increased by Δl = [tex]\frac{v}{2f}[/tex]
Explanation:
Recall
V = f ×λ
where λ is ⁴/₃l₂ for second resonance
f = [tex]\frac{3v}{4l_{2} }[/tex]
l₂ = [tex]\frac{3v}{4f}[/tex]
where λ is 4l₁ for 1st resonance
f = [tex]\frac{v}{4l_{1} }[/tex]
l₁ = [tex]\frac{v}{4f}[/tex]
∴ Δl = l₂ - l₁ = [tex]\frac{3v}{4f}[/tex] ⁻ [tex]\frac{v}{4f}[/tex]
Δl= [tex]\frac{2v}{4f}[/tex]
Δl = [tex]\frac{v}{2f}[/tex]
Therefore, the length should increase by [tex]\frac{v}{2f}[/tex]

When the charges in the rod are in equilibrium, what is the magnitude of the electric field within the rod?
Answer: If we have equilibrium, the magnitude must be zero.
Explanation:
If the charges are in equilibrium, this means that the total charge is equal to zero.
And as the charges must be homogeneously distributed in the rod, we can conclude that the electric field within the rod must be zero, so the magnitude of the electric field must be zero

Welllll, first of all, it would take incredible muscular development and control to be able to do that, and I don't believe it's actually humanly possible.
But for Math and Physics problems, that's OK. We don't mind suspending our disbelief, accepting a temporary alternate reality, and working with the hand that is dealt.
The speed of a wave doesn't depend on how the wave is created. A puppy wagging its tail, a fly batting its wings, or a person shaking her hand up and down, are moving the air. The wave that travels away from the vibration is a sound wave in air. Its speed depends only on the characteristics of the air it travels through.
For some typical combination of temperature, pressure, and humidity, this speed (of sound) is taken to be 343 meters per second.
Notice that the 'sound' of shaking her hand up and down will not be 'heard' by anyone, no matter how close she stands to them. 12 Hz (12 per second) is not a fast-enough wiggle to be sensed as sound by human ears. If the person senses the wave at all, it will only be as some kind of pulsating breeze.
Based on what you know about electricity, hypothesize about how series resistors would affect current flow. What would you expect the effective resistance of two equal resistors in series to be, compared to the resistance of a single resistor?
Answer:
Effective resistance of two equal resistors in series is twice that of a single resistor and in essence will reduce the amount of current flowing in the circuit.
Explanation:
When two resistors are connected in series, their effective resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. For example, given two resistors of resistance values R₁ and R₂, their effective resistance, Rₓ is given by;
Rₓ = R₁ + R₂ --------------(1)
If these resistors have equal resistance values, say R, then equation 1 becomes;
Rₓ = R + R
Rₓ = 2R
This means that their effective resistance is twice of their individual resistances. In other words, when two equal resistors are in series, their effective resistance is twice the resistance of each single one of those resistors.
Now, according to Ohm's law, voltage(V) is the product of current (I) and resistance (R). i.e
V = IR
I = [tex]\frac{V}{R}[/tex]
We can deduce that current increases as resistance decreases and vice-versa.
So, if the two equal resistors described above are connected in series, the amount of current flowing will be reduced compared to having just a single resistor.
