Homework Statement
I have a list of data, positions and measured voltages at each position. As part of my lab analysis I have to find the electric field at each position. I know that the slope of a potential versus distance plot is the electric field, but I have no clue how to find not the...
Homework Statement
Two horizontal parallel conducting rods are connected such that a conducting crossbar free to slide along them has a constant current I running through it (Figure 1) . The rods are separated by a distance ℓ and are in an external uniform magnetic field of magnitude B directed...
Homework Statement
A positively charged particle initially at rest on the ground accelerates upward to 200m/s in 2.60s. The particle has a charge-to-mass ratio of 0.100 C/kg and the electric field in this region is constant and uniform.
What are the magnitude and direction of the electric...
Homework Statement
An electron traveling horizontally east passes between two horizontal, oppositely charged plates and is deflected downward.
Part A: Passing through the same space between the plates, in what direction (if any) a proton traveling horizontally east would be deflected?
Part B...
Reworked and got E= [-GmmE(Re+h)+Re(GmmE)]/Re(Re+h)=GmmEh/Re(Re+h)
Doing the algebra correctly, is the answer right? Is my reasoning sound? Sorry for forgetting elementary school, and thanks for your help.
E=(-GmmE+h/Re+h)+(GmmE/Re+h)
Can't believe I did that. Can I add +h to the numerator and denominator of the first term? Is that finding a common denominator? Then I get E=h/(Re+h).
Homework Statement
Part A:
Derive an expression for the energy needed to launch an object from the surface of Earth to a height h above the surface.
Part B:
Ignoring Earth's rotation, how much energy is needed to get the same object into orbit at height h?
Express your answer in terms of...
Homework Statement
A spherical air bubble in a lake expands as it rises slowly to the surface. At the point it starts to rise, the pressure is 2.00 atm, the temperature of the water is 10.0 ∘C, and the radius of the bubble is 5.00 × 10^−3 m. At the surface, the pressure is 1.00 atm and the...
