Answer:
The angle between the electric field lines and the equipotential surface is 90 degree.
Explanation:
The equipotential surfaces are the surface on which the electric potential is same. The work done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is always zero.
The electric field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.
As
[tex]dV = \overrightarrow{E} . d\overrightarrow{r}\\\\[/tex]
For equipotential surface, dV = 0 so
[tex]0 = \overrightarrow{E} . d\overrightarrow{r}\\\\[/tex]
The dot product of two non zero vectors is zero, if they are perpendicular to each other.

(a) What is the direction of the electric field?
i. opposite
ii. direction to the electron's initial velocity
iii. same direction as the electron's initial velocity
iv. not enough information to decide
(b) How far does the electron travel before coming to rest? m
(c) How long does it take the electron to come to rest? s
(d) What is the electron's speed when it returns to its starting point?
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
The force on electron acts opposite to the velocity , and direction of force on electron is always opposite to direction of electric field .
Hence direction of electric field must be in the same in which electrons travels.
Hence option iii is correct.
b )
deceleration a = force / mass
= qE / m
= 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁶ x 5.6 x 10⁵ / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹
= .98 x 10²⁰ m /s²
v² = u² - 2 a s
0 = (8.06 x 10⁶ )² - 2 x .98 x 10²⁰ s
s = 64.96 x 10¹² / 1.96 x 10²⁰
= 33.14 x 10⁻⁸ m
c ) time required
= 8.06 x 10⁶ / .98 x 10²⁰
= 8.22 x 10⁻¹² s .
d ) Its speed will be same as that in the beginning ie 8.06 x 10⁶ m/s .
Answer:
(a) Option (i)
(b) 6.6 x 10^-4 m
(c) 8.2 x 10^-11 s
Explanation:
initial velocity, u = 8 .06 x 10^6 m/s
Electric field, E = 5.6 x 10^5 N/C
(a) The direction of field is opposite.
Option (i).
(b) Let the distance is s.
Use third equation of motion
[tex]v^2 = u^2 + 2 a s \\\\0 = u^2 - 2 \times \frac{qE}{m}\times s\\\\8.06\times 10^6\times 8.06\times 10^6 = \frac {1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5.6\times 10^5}{9.1\times 10^{-31}} s\\\\s = 6.6\times 10^{-4} m[/tex]
(c) Let the time is t.
Use first equation of motion.
[tex]v = u + a t \\\\0 = u - \times \frac{qE}{m}\times t\\\\8.06\times 10^6 = \frac {1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5.6\times 10^5}{9.1\times 10^{-31}} t\\\\t = 8.2\times 10^{-11} s[/tex]
A 2090-kg test rocket is launched vertically from the launch pad. Its fuel (of negligible mass) provides a thrust force so that its vertical velocity as a function of time is given by v(t) =At+Bt^2 , where A and B are constants and time is measured from the instant the fuel is ignited. The rocket has an upward acceleration of 1.50m/s 2 at the instant of ignition and, 1.00 s later, an upward velocity of 2.00 m/s. (a) Determine A and B , including their SI units. (b) At 4.00 s after fuel ignition, what is the acceleration of the rocket, and (c) what thrust force does the burning fuel exert on it, assuming no air resistance? Express the thrust in newtons and as a multiple of the rocket’s weight. (d) What was the initial thrust due to the fuel?
Answer:
a) A = 1.50 m / s², B = 1.33 m/s³, b) a = 12.1667 m / s²,
c) I = M (1.5 t + 1.333 t²) , d) ΔI = M 2.833 N
Explanation:
In this exercise give the expression for the speed of the rocket
v (t) = A t + B t²
and the initial conditions
a = 1.50 m / s² for t = 0 s
v = 2.00 m / s for t = 1.00 s
a) it is asked to determine the constants.
Let's look for acceleration with its definition
a = [tex]\frac{dv}{dt}[/tex]
a = A + 2B t
we apply the first condition t = 0 s
a = A
A = 1.50 m / s²
we apply the second condition t = 1.00 s
v = 1.5 1 + B 1²
2 = 1.5 + B
B = 2 / 1.5
B = 1.33 m/s³
the equation remains
v = 1.50 t + 1.333 t²
b) the acceleration for t = 4.00 s
a = 1.50 + 1.333 2t
a = 1.50 + 2.666 4
a = 12.1667 m / s²
c) The thrust
I = ∫ F dt = p_f - p₀
Newton's second law
F = M a
F = M (1.5 + 2 1.333 t) dt
we replace and integrate
I = M ∫ (1.5 + 2.666 t) dt
I = 1.5 t + 2.666 t²/2
I = M (1.5 t + 1.333 t²) + cte
in general the initial rockets with velocity v = 0 for t = 0, where we can calculate the constant
cte = 0
I = M (1.5 t + 1.333 t²)
d) the initial push
For this we must assume some small time interval, for example between
t = 0 s and t = 1 s
ΔI = I_f - I₀
ΔI = M (1.5 1 + 1.333 1²)
ΔI = M 2.833 N
3. You have a variable-voltage power supply and a capacitor in the form of two metal disks of radius 0.6 m, held a distance of 1 mm apart. What is the largest voltage you can apply to the capacitor without the air becoming highly conductive
Answer:
The breakdown of air occurs at a maximum voltage of 3kV/mm.
Explanation:
The breakdown of air occurs at a maximum voltage of 3kV/mm.
At this level of voltage the air between the plates become highly ionised and breakdown occurs. Since, the distance held between the plates is 1mm , it can withstand a maximum voltage of 3 kV.
After this voltage the air will become conductive in nature and will form ions in the air between the plates and ultimately breakdown will take place with a flash.
A wheel 30 cm in diameter accelerates uniformly from 245 rpm to 380 rpm in 6.1 s . Part A How far will a point on the edge of the wheel have traveled in this time
Answer:
A point on the edge of the wheel will travel 199.563 radians at the given time.
Explanation:
Given;
initial angular velocity of the wheel; [tex]\omega _i = 245 \ rev/\min = 245\ \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi}{1\ rev} \times \frac{1 \ \min}{60 \ s} = 25.66 \ rad/s[/tex]
final angular velocity of the wheel;
[tex]\omega _f = 380 \ rev/\min = 380 \ \frac{rev}{\min} \times \frac{2\pi}{1\ rev} \times \frac{1 \ \min}{60 \ s} = 39.80 \ rad/s[/tex]
radius of the wheel, d/2 = (30 cm ) / 2 = 15 cm = 0.15 m
time of motion, t = 6.1 s
The angular distance traveled by the edge of the wheel is calculated as;
[tex]\theta = (\frac{\omega_f + \omega_i}{2} )t\\\\\theta = (\frac{39.8 + 25.66}{2} )\times 6.1\\\\\theta = 199.653 \ radian[/tex]
Therefore, a point on the edge of the wheel will travel 199.563 radians at the given time.

If you buy an amateur-sized reflecting telescope, say around 10 inches (25cm) aperture, it'll have something in it that sends the gathered starlight out the side of the telescope tube. What do we call this thing
Answer: objective lens
Explanation:
Light enters a refra
Light enters a telescope through a lens at the upper end, which focuses the light near the bottom of the telescope. An eyepiece then magnifies the image so that it can be viewed by the eye, or a detector like a photographic plate can be placed at the focus. The upper end of a reflecting telescope is open, and the light passes through to the mirror located at the bottom of the telescope. The mirror then focuses the light at the top end, where it can be detected. Alternatively, a second mirror may reflect the light to a position outside the telescope structure, where an observer can have easier access to it.

A wheel rotates about a fixed axis with an initial angular velocity of 13 rad/s. During a 8-s interval the angular velocity increases to 57 rad/s. Assume that the angular acceleration was constant during this time interval. How many revolutions does the wheel turn through during this time interval
Answer:
The number of revolutions is 44.6.
Explanation:
We can find the revolutions of the wheel with the following equation:
[tex]\theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2}[/tex]
Where:
[tex]\omega_{0}[/tex]: is the initial angular velocity = 13 rad/s
t: is the time = 8 s
α: is the angular acceleration
We can find the angular acceleration with the initial and final angular velocities:
[tex] \omega_{f} = \omega_{0} + \alpha t [/tex]
Where:
[tex] \omega_{f} [/tex]: is the final angular velocity = 57 rad/s
[tex] \alpha = \frac{\omega_{f} - \omega_{0}}{t} = \frac{57 rad/s - 13 rad/s}{8 s} = 5.5 rad/s^{2} [/tex]
Hence, the number of revolutions is:
[tex] \theta = \omega_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^{2} = 13 rad/s*8 s + \frac{1}{2}*5.5 rad/s^{2}*(8 s)^{2} = 280 rad*\frac{1 rev}{2\pi rad} = 44.6 rev [/tex]
Therefore, the number of revolutions is 44.6.
I hope it helps you!

You are stranded in a stationary boat. Your friend is on a dock, but the boat is just beyond his reach. There is a 5 kg anchor in the boat. You'd like to get the boat to move closer to the dock so your friend can rescue you. Select from the following list what effect each change will have on the position of the boat relative to the dock. A. The boat will move closer to the dock. B. The boat will move away from the dock. C. The position of the boat relative to the dock will not change.
Answer:
running away and launching the anchor that will give a greater speed towards the dock v₄.
Explanation:
To try to bring the boat closer to the dock, several cases can be carried out.
* move inside the ship so that the center of mass changes and since moving away you have a speed v, the ship will approach the dock at a speed v₂,
* Throw the anchor in the opposite direction to the dock so that using the conservation of the moment the boat moves towards it, it moves at a speed v₃
* A combination of the two processes running away and launching the anchor that will give a greater speed towards the dock v₄.
In all cases, the friction must be zero.
All other movements move the ship away from the dock

A water-balloon launcher with mass 2 kg fires a 0.75 kg balloon with a
velocity of 14 m/s to the west. What is the recoil velocity of the launcher?
What is the answer
Answer:
5.25 m/s to the east
Explanation:
Applying,
MV = mv.............. Equation 1
Where M = mass of the launcher, V = recoil velocity of the launcher, m = mass of the balloon, v = velocity of the balloon
make V the subject of the equation
V = mv/M............ Equation 2
From the question,
M = 2 kg, m = 0.75 kg, v = 14 m/s
Substitute these values into equation 2
V = (0.75×14)/2
V = 5.25 m/s to the east
how much amount of heat energy is required to convert 5 kg of ice at - 5° c into 100°c steam?
Assuming no heat lost to the surrounding,
-5⁰C ice → 0⁰C ice
Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.0 x 10³ J/kg/⁰C
Q = mc∆θ
Q = 5(2.0 x 10³) x (0-(-5))
Q = 50000J
0⁰C ice → 0⁰C water
Specific latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.34 x 10⁵J/kg
Q = mLf
Q = 5(3.34 x 10⁵)
Q = 1670000J
0⁰C water → 100⁰C water
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 x 10³ J/kg/⁰C
Q = mc∆θ
Q = 5(4.2 x 10³) x (100-0)
Q = 2100000J
100⁰C water → 100⁰C steam
Specific latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 10⁶ J/kg
Q = mLv
Q = 5(2.26 x 10⁶)
Q = 11300000J
Total amount of heat required
= 50000 + 1670000 + 2100000 + 11300000
= 15120000J
A cat's displacement is 15 meters to the right in 7.0 seconds. If, at the start of the 7.0 seconds, the cat was moving at a velocity of 2.0 m/s left what was its final velocity?
Answer:
6.3 m/s
Explanation:
From the given information:
The displacement (x) = 15 m
time (t) = 7.0 s
initial velocity = -2.0 m/s (since it is moving in the opposite direction)
We need to determine the acceleration then find the final velocity.
By applying the kinematics equation:
[tex]x = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
[tex]15 = (-2.0)(7.0) + \dfrac{1}{2}a(7.0)^2\\ \\ 15 = -14.0 + \dfrac{49}{2}a \\ \\ 29= 24.5a \\ \\ a= \dfrac{29}{24.5} \\ \\ a = 1.184 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Now, to determine the final velocity by using the equation:
v = u + at
v = -2 + 1.184(7.0)
v = 6.288 m/s
v ≅ 6.3 m/s

Suppose the pucks start spinning after the collision, whereas they were not before. Will this affect your momentum conservation results
Answer:
No, it will not affect the results.
Explanation:
For elastic collisions in an isolated system, when a collision occurs, it means that the systems objects total momentum will be conserved under the condition that there will be no net external forces that act upon the objects.
What that means is that if the pucks start spinning after the collision, we are not told that there was any net external force acting on the puck and thus momentum will be conserved because momentum before collision will be equal to the momentum after the collision.
A block of mass M is connected by a string and pulley to a hanging mass m.
The coefficient of kinetic friction between block M and the table is 0.2, and also, M = 20 kg, m = 10 kg.
b. Find the acceleration of the system and tensions on the string.
c. How far will block m drop in the first seconds after the system is released?
d. How long will block M move during the above time?
e. At the time, calculate the velocity of block M
f. Find out the deceleration of block M if the connection string is removal by cutting after the first second. Then, calculate the time taken to contact block M and pulley
How far will block m drop in the first seconds after the system is released?
(b) Use Newton's second law. The net forces on block M are
• ∑ F (horizontal) = T - f = Ma … … … [1]
• ∑ F (vertical) = n - Mg = 0 … … … [2]
where T is the magnitude of the tension, f is the mag. of kinetic friction between block M and the table, a is the acceleration of block M (but since both blocks are moving together, the smaller block m also shares this acceleration), and n is the mag. of the normal force between the block and the table.
Right away, we see n = Mg, and so f = µn = 0.2Mg.
The net force on block m is
• ∑ F = mg - T = ma … … … [3]
You can eliminate T and solve for a by adding [1] to [3] :
(T - 0.2Mg) + (mg - T ) = Ma + ma
(m - 0.2M) g = (M + m) a
a = (10 kg - 0.2 (20 kg)) (9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 20 kg)
a = 1.96 m/s²
We can get the tension from [3] :
T = m (g - a)
T = (10 kg) (9.8 m/s² - 1.96 m/s²)
T = 78.4 N
(c/d) No time duration seems to be specified, so I'll just assume some time t before block M reaches the edge of the table (whatever that time might be), after which either block would move the same distance of
1/2 (1.96 m/s²) t
(e) Assuming block M starts from rest, its velocity at time t is
(1.96 m/s²) t
(f) After t = 1 s, block M reaches a speed of 1.96 m/s. When the string is cut, the tension force vanishes and the block slows down due to friction. By Newton's second law, we have
∑ F = -f = Ma
The effect of friction is constant, so that f = 0.2Mg as before, and
-0.2Mg = Ma
a = -0.2g
a = -1.96 m/s²
Then block M slides a distance x such that
0² - (1.96 m/s²) = 2 (-1.96 m/s²) x
x = (1.96 m/s²) / (2 (1.96 m/s²))
x = 0.5 m
(I don't quite understand what is being asked by the part that says "calculate the time taken to contact block M and pulley" …)
Meanwhile, block m would be in free fall, so after 1 s it would fall a distance
x = 1/2 (-9.8 m/s²) (1 s)
x = 4.9 m
A pilot flies her route in two straight-line segments. The displacement vector A for the first segment has a magnitude of 243 km and a direction 30.0o north of east. The displacement vector for the second segment has a magnitude of 178 km and a direction due west. The resultant displacement vector is R = A + B and makes an angle ? with the direction due east. Using the component method, find (a) the magnitude of R and (b) the directional angle ?.
(a) R = km
(b) ? = degrees
Answer:
a) [tex]R=126Km[/tex]
b) [tex]\theta=74.6\textdegree[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
1st segment
243km at Angle=30
2nd segment
178km West
Resolving to the X axis
[tex]F_x=243cos30+178[/tex]
[tex]F_x=33.44Km[/tex]
Resolving to the Y axis
[tex]F_y=243sin30+178sin0[/tex]
[tex]R=\sqrt{F_y^2+F_x^2}[/tex]
[tex]F_y=121.5Km[/tex]
Therefore
Generally the equation for Directional Angle is mathematically given by
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{F_y}{F_x}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=tan^{-1}\frac{121.5}{33.44}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=74.6\textdegree[/tex]
Generally the equation for Magnitude is mathematically given by
[tex]R=\sqrt{F_y^2+F_x^2}[/tex]
[tex]R=\sqrt{33.44^2+121.5^2}[/tex]
[tex]R=126Km[/tex]
A body of mass 2kg is released from from a point 100m above the ground level. calculate kinetic energy 80m from the point of released.
Answer:
1568J
Explanation:
Since the problem states 80 m from the point of drop, the height relative to the ground will be 100-80=20m.
Use conservation of Energy
ΔUg+ΔKE=0
ΔUg= mgΔh=2*9.8*(20-100)=-1568J
ΔKE-1568J=0
ΔKE=1568J
since KEi= 0 since the object is at rest 100m up, the kinetic energy 20meters above the ground is 1568J
An object with mass m is located halfway between an object of mass M and an object of mass 3M that are separated by a distance d. What is the magnitude of the force on the object with mass m?A) 8GMm/d^2B) GMm/(4d^2)C) 4GMm/d^2D) GMm/(2d^2)E) 3GMm/2d^2
Answer:
A) 8GMm/d^2
Explanation:
We are given that
[tex]m_1=M[/tex]
[tex]m_2=3M[/tex]
[tex]m_3=m[/tex]
Distance between m1 and m2=d
Distance of object of mass m from m1 and m2=d/2
Gravitational force formula
[tex]F=\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}[/tex]
Using the formula
Force acting between m and M is given by
[tex]F_1=\frac{GmM}{d^2/4}[/tex]
Force acting between m and 3M is given by
[tex]F_2=\frac{Gm(3M)}{d^2/4}[/tex]
Now, net force acting on object of mass is given by
[tex]F=F_2-F_1[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{Gm(3M)}{d^2/4}-\frac{GmM}{d^2/4}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{12GmM}{d^2}-\frac{4GmM}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{12GmM-4GmM}{d^2}[/tex]
[tex]F=\frac{8GmM}{d^2}[/tex]
Hence, the magnitude of the force on the object with mass m=[tex]\frac{8GmM}{d^2}[/tex]
Option A is correct.
An electron in a hydrogen atom is in a p state. Which of the following statements is true?
a.
The electron’s wavefunction has at least one node (i.e., at least one place in space where it goes to zero).
b.
The electron has an energy of -13.6 eV.
c.
The electron has a total angular momentum of ħ.
d.
The electron has a z-component of angular momentum equal to sqrt(2)* ħ.
Answer:
The electron’s wavefunction has at least one node (i.e., at least one place in space where it goes to zero).
Explanation:
We know that the p-orbitals have nodes. A node is a region where the probability of finding an electron goes down to zero.
P orbitals are oriented along the x,y,z Cartesian axes and are known to have angular nodes along the axes.
Hence, if an electron in a hydrogen atom is in a p state, the electron’s wavefunction has at least one node

When an apple falls towards the earth,the earth moves up to meet the apple. Is this true?If yes, why is the earth's motion not noticeable?
Answer:
Yes, when an apple falls towards the earth, the apple gets accelerated and comes down due to the gravitational force of attraction used by the earth. The apple also exerts an equal and opposite force on the earth but the earth does not move because the mass of the apple is very small, due to which the gravitational force produces a large acceleration in it (a = F/m) but the mass of the earth is very large, the same gravitational force produces very small acceleration in the earth and we don't see the earth rising towards the apple.

The velocity-time graph of a body is given. What quantities are represented by (a) slope of the graph and (b) area under the graph?
Answer:
a) acceleration
b) displacement
Explanation:
The velocity-time graph is a graph of velocity versus time. The velocity (m/s) would be on the Y-axis while time (s) would be on the X-axis.
a) The slope of a graph is given by: change in Y-axis/change in X-axis = ΔY/ΔX
In a velocity-time graph, ΔY = change in velocity and ΔX = change in time.
Hence, the slope of a velocity-time graph becomes: change in velocity/change in time.
Also, acceleration = change in velocity/change in time.
Hence, the slope of a velocity-time graph = acceleration.
b) Assuming that the area under a velocity-time graph is a rectangle, the area is given as:
Area of a rectangle = length x breadth
= velocity x time (m/s x s)
Also, displacement = velocity x time (m)
Hence, the area under a velocity-time graph of a body would give the displacement of the body.

The potential (relative to infinity) due to a point charge is V at a distance R from this charge. So,
[tex]\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}[/tex]
Put all the values,
[tex]\dfrac{V}{2V}=\dfrac{r_2}{R}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{r_2}{R}\\\\r_2=\dfrac{R}{2}[/tex]
So, the distance at which the potential (relative to infinity) is 2V is R/2.A tank is full of water. Find the work (in J) required to pump the water out of the spout. (Use 9.8 m/s2 for g. Use 1,000 kg/m3 as the density of water. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
