Suppose we have a charge, q1=1 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=60 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 2 cm. What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? for the uncertainty of q I got 2500 N/C. I keep getting 1667.67 N/C for the uncertainty for the separation of r but that is wrong
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?
At position (5, , 2), what is the direction that the scalar function of electric field in 12 magnitude, E =z?cosp + p?sinp increase or decrease in the highest rate with space.
Suppose we have a charge, q1=1 μC. This charge makes an electric field some distance r=73 cm away from it. Now suppose our measurement of q1 is only accurate to within 0.2 μC, and our measurement of r is only accurate to within 1.5 cm. What is the uncertainty in our field calculation due only to the uncertainty in the charge separation r? Every time I do this calculation I get a different number all of which have been wrong. I have gotten 694.06, 693.097, 46.2, .69405, and 71.56. Can you please help me with this?
Find the electric field vector at the point (0cm,5cm).
Thank you, I understand why vxi and vxy are the same, and vyi=0 and vyf changes due to ay. I do not understand why the resultant vector doesn't have θ calculated as the angle made by the electron hitting the bottom plate. I found θ = tan-1 (1.7x106 /4x106 ) = 23°. Is this a misunderstanding and it should be 90°? I also don't understand where 2vxvycosθ came from?
A negatively-charged object creates an electric field which can be measured at various locations in the region about it. An electric field vector is drawn for point X. Use your understanding of the electric field - distance relationship to draw E vectors for points A - E. (The length of the arrow should be indicative of the relative strength of the E vector.)
A hot tub with a surface area of 28 ft2 is filled with water to a depth of 29 in . Hint: volume is calculated as area × height (A × h). A) What is the volume of water in the tub, in liters? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. B) How many kilojoules are needed to heat the water from 59∘F to 103 ∘F? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. C) If the hot-tub heater provides 5900 kJ/min, how long, in hours, will it take to heat the water in the hot tub from 59∘F to 103∘F? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

a) A typical small passenger electric vehicle has a range of 200 km on an electric charge of 33 kWh. Convert this number into J/km (Joules per kilometer traveled). b) A comparably sized gasoline powered vehicle to (a) is rated as 25 miles per gallon. Convert this number into J/km (Joules per kilometer traveled). c) If gasoline costs $10.00 per gallon, and electricity $0.30 per kWh what is the difference in the cost of fuel per kilometer travelled between the electric vehicle in (a) and the gasoline powered vehicle in (b)? d) Surveys of EV owners show that they charge at home 70% of the time. Let us assume that for the remaining 30% they charge at a 60 kW rated "fast-charge” station. If patterns of travel remain the same, but we swap all our gasoline vehicles for electric vehicles, what is the ratio between installation of fast charging stations to gasoline pumps retired. e) The Chicago Transit Authority has about 2700 buses that travel a total of 240,000 miles daily.

On a certain mountain, the elevation z above a point (x,y) in an xy-plane at sea level is z = 2000 −0.02x2−0.04y2, where x, y, and z are in meters. The positive x-axis points east, and the positive y-axis north. Stephie is at the point (20,5,1991). (a) If Stephie uses a compass reading to walk northeast, will she ascend or descend? At what rate?
