Take the potential of the negative plate to be zero. If the potential halfway between the plates is then +5.0 V, what is the electric field (in V/m) in the region between the plates?
(a) Find the electric field (in N/C) at the position of the electron. (b) What is the potential difference in volts between the plates?
To qualify for the finals in a racing event, a race car must achieve an average speed of 250 km/h on a track with a total length of 1,600 m. If a particular car covers the first half of the track at
A person takes a trip, driving with a constant speed of 95.5 km/h except for a 22.0-min rest stop. The person's average speed is 76.6 km/h. (a) How much time is spent on the trip?
A patient is going to be prescribed bifocals which will be 2.50 cm from the eye. The prescribed powers (in diopters) for the bifocals are +1.60 and -0.40, and these bifocals give the patient normal
Find the amount of work W done on the gas during the entire process. Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables p and V.
A tortoise can run with a speed of 0.15 m/s, and a hare can run 20 times as fast. In a race, they both start at the same time, but the hare stops to rest for 1.0 minutes. The tortoise wins by a shel
a) Determine the capacitance of two concentric spherical shells of radii R1 and R2. b) Show that when the radii are nearly equal, your expression reduces to the capacitance for a single-plate capaci
How long will it take you to travel from the gate to baggage claim if you walk while riding on the moving sidewalk?
Determine the component of the friction force perpendicular to the direction of motion.
A bat emits a sound whose frequency is 88.1 kHz. The speed of sound in air at 20.0 oC is 343 m/s. However, the air temperature is 42.0 oC, so the speed of sound is not 343 m/s. Assume that air behav
The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the ball. Determine the acceleration due to gravity.
A patient has a far point of 29.2 cm and a near point of 24.2 cm. What power (in diopters) should be prescribed to correct the patient's vision using: (b) glasses which are worn 0.5 cm away from the
When the plates are then moved 0.4cm further apart, the voltage between the plates increases by 100 V. a) What is the charge on the positive plate capacitor?
There is a magnetic field of magnitude B directed perpendicular to the wire, and the magnetic force on the wire is just strong enough to "levitate" the wire ( the magnetic force on the wire is equal
If the hoop is 3.05 m above the ground by what horizontal distance does I miss the center of the hoop?
Four point charges of magnitude 2µC are at the corners of a square with sides 4m. If this configuration was assembled from charges initially very far apart (at infinity) find the change in ele
The rocket attains its launch speed in a negligibly short period of time, after which its engines shut down and the rocket coasts. By how much does the rocket clear the top of the wall?
After the RCS thruster is turned off, find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of the vehicle's velocity relative to the space station. Express the direction as an angle (in degrees) measured fr
It rises to its maximum height and then falls down to the green. Ignoring air resistance, find the speed of the ball just before it lands.
How far downstream will the swimmer be upon reaching the other side of the river?
The speed of a transverse wave on a string is 581 m/s, while the wavelength is 0.268 m. The amplitude of the wave is 2.60 mm. How much time is required for a particle of the string to move through a
