Tom is positioned at x = 600 m. Two simultaneous explosions occur. One at the origin...
1. Suppose that charge #1 is positioned at the origin (x 0 m, y = 0 m) and has a charge of 5.2 pC and that charge #2 is positioned on the y-axis at y = 0.23 m and has a charge of +8.2 μC. Find the x-and y components of the electric field on the x-axis at x-0.42 m. Also, find the x- and y-components of the force on a charge of-3.4 μC placed at this point (x-0.42 m)
Light of wavelength 600 nm is incident upon a single slit with width 3.0 x 10 m. The figure below shows the pattern observed on a screen positioned 2 m from the slits. Determine the distance s. O 0.008 m O 0.002 m O 0.003 m O 0.004 m O 0.006 m
The figure shows a two-ended “rocket” that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M = 6.10 kg) and blocks L and R (each of mass m = 2.70 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At...
The figure shows a two-ended “rocket” that is initially stationary on a frictionless floor, with its center at the origin of an x axis. The rocket consists of a central block C (of mass M = 6.70 kg) and blocks L and R (each of mass m = 1.50 kg) on the left and right sides. Small explosions can shoot either of the side blocks away from block C and along the x axis. Here is the sequence: (1) At time t =...
Two trees are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them and your lab partner is at the base of tree 1. Lightning strikes both trees. Your lab partner, based on measurements he makes, determines that the two lightning strikes were simultaneous. What did you see? Did you see the lightning hit tree 1 first, hit tree 2 first, or hit them both at the same instant of time? Your lab partner, based on measurements he makes, determines...
Two charges, each 1 mu C, are on the x axis, one at the origin and the other at x = 8 m. Find the electric field on the x axis at each of the following locations. X = -2 m N/C i x = 2 m N/C x = 6 m N/C i x = 10 m N/C At what point on the x axis is the electric field zero? m
Three spheres are arranged in a line and connected to one another by a rigid rod. The masses of the spheres are M, 2M, and 3M, and they are positioned at t x = 2L, respectively. he origin, x L and 2M 3M 1. If the mass of each connecting rod is negligible, what is the moment of inetia about an axis perpendicular to the paper and passing through the central, 2M, mass? Show a symbolic solution below. 2. What...
In a double-slit interference experiment the slit separation is 8.40 x 10-6 m and the slits are 2.80 m from the screen. Each slit has a width of 1.20 x 10-6 m. a) An interference pattern is formed when light with a wavelength of 450 nm is shined on the slits. How far (in meters) from the center of the interference pattern on the screen do the third order (m = 3) bright fringes occur? (1.5 pts) b) If a...
I.(20p) Fill the following spaces with or circle the appropriate answers (can be more than one!). I.1. In Tom's frame of reference, two events A and B take place at different locations along the x axis but are observed by Tom to be simultaneous. Which of the following statements is true? (1) No observers moving relative to Tom will find A and B to be simultaneous, but some may see A before B and others B before A. (2) No...
The speed of light, by the u symbol c, has a value, to two significant figures, of 3.0 x 108 m/s. (a) How long does it take for light to travel from the Sun to Earth, a distance of 1.5 x 10!1 m? (b) How Jong does it take light to travel from the moon to Earth, a distance of 3.8 x 108 m? 1.0 In free light travels in a straight line at constant speed, c g along a...
