A student (with a "rubbed" nail in her hand) sees another nail floating in a pan of water and decides to test to see whether is "rubbed" also. She holds the tip of the "rubbed" nail to the tip of the floating nail (as shown in the diagram) and sees that there is an attraction between them. What can she conclude from just this observation? O The floating nail has definitely not been rubbed O The floating nail has definitely been "rubbed" O It is not possible to say whether the floating nail has been rubbed or not.

A simple and common technique for accelerating electrons is shown in the figure, which depicts a uniform electric field between two plates. Electrons are released, usually from a hot filament, near the negative plate, and there is a small hole in the positive plate that allows the electrons to pass through. Randomized Variables E = 2.7 × 104 N/C Calculate the horizontal component of the electron's acceleration if the field strength is 2.7 × 104 N/C. Express your answer in meters per second squared, and assume the electric field is pointing in the negative x-direction as shown in the figure.

Suppose we have a charge, q1=3 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=69 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.1 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1 cm. a)If we were to calculate the electric field made by that charge at the indicated distance, what would be the uncertainty in our calculation due only to the uncertainty in the size of q1? b)What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? c)What is the total uncertainty in our electric field calculation due to the uncertainty in the size of q1 and the uncertainty in the charge separation r?

You are an astronaut, living for a long time interval in the International Space Station (ISS). During your off-duty hours, you have run out of books to read and video games to play. So, your mind wanders to your hobby of music. The last book you read discussed Gauss's law, and you get an inspiration. You plan to attach two nonconducting spheres of radius r = 1.50 cm together using a light insulating string of length L and linear mass density μ = 5.00 x 10-3 kg/m, with the string attached at the surface of each sphere. Then, using the electrical system on the ISS, you will be able to electrify each sphere to a charge of Q = 75.0 μC, uniformly spread over the surface of the sphere. The combination will then be allowed to float freely in the ISS. The spheres will repel, creating a tension in the string. When you pluck the string, you wish it to play a perfect middle C, at 262 Hz. Determine the length of the string (in cm) that you need. (Assume the frequency of 262 Hz is the fundamental…

1 a) Question 1 part a (first part of question 1) Consider a simple pendulum with known mass m and unknown length I and charge q. Assume that you can measure time, but charge, cannot. You want to find an expression for q by measuring periods for the cases where electric field E switched off (To) and on (TE). For this purpose, a) Electric field is off. Consider you have measured To, i.e. you know its numerical value. Find I in terms of To and g. b) Electric field is switched on. Write the electric force on the charge F and find the downward acceleration (a). Do not forget to consider the directions; c) Consider you have measured TE. Find q in terms of TO, TE and other quantities. 1 Option 3 g 41²To 1 = Tog 4π² 1 Option 2 = 1 = T2 g 4π² g² 4π2Το (+q
