In a certain region of space, the potential is given by v=2x−5x2y 3yz2. How much is the magnitude of the electric field at point (-2, 2, 0)?

Answers

The magnitude of the electric field at the point (-2, 2, 0) is 46.52 V/m

How to calculate the electric field?

Since in a certain region of space, the potential is given by v = 2x − 5x²y 3yz²,

The electric field, E = -grad(V) where grad(V) = (dV/dx)i + (dV/dy)j + (dV/dz)k

Since V = 2x − 5x²y + 3yz²

dV/dx = d(2x − 5x²y + 3yz²)/dx

= d2x/dx - d5x²y/dx + d3yz²/dx

= 2 - 10xy + 0

= 2 - 10xy

dV/dy = d(2x − 5x²y + 3yz²)/dy

= d2x/dy - d5x²y/dy + d3yz²/dy

= 0 - 5x² + 3z²

=  - 5x² + 3z²

dV/dz = d(2x − 5x²y + 3yz²)/dz

= d2x/dz - d5x²y/dz + d3yz²/dz

= 0 - 0 + 6z

=  6z

The electric field

So, E = -grad(V)

= -[(dV/dx)i + (dV/dy)j + (dV/dz)k]

= -[(2 - 10xy)i + (- 5x² + 3z²)j + (6z)k]

So, the electric field at (-2, 2, 0) is

E = -[(2 - 10xy)i + (- 5x² + 3z²)j + (6z)k]

E = -[(2 - 10(-2)(2))i + (- 5(2)² + 3(0)²)j + (6(0))k]

E = -[(2 + 40)i + (- 5(4) + 0)j + (0)k]

E = -[42i + (-20 + 0)j + (0)k]

E = -[42i - 20j + 0k]

E = -42i + 20j - 0k

The magnitude of the electric field

So, the magnitude of E at (-2, 2, 0) is

|E| = √[(-42)² + 20² + 0²]

=  √[1764 + 400 + 0]

= √2164

= 46.52 V/m

So, the magnitude of the electric field at the point (-2, 2, 0) is 46.52 V/m

50
55
125

Answers

According to the computations, this rhombus's value of x is equal to 55°.

How can we calculate x's value?

The total of all the angles in a rhombus should be 360 ° because the opposing angles in a rhombus are always identical.

We may infer the preceding information from the rhombus's picture:

Neighboring angles= 2x+ 20 & 50°

Opposite angles=2x+ 20 & 50°

Combining the angles results in:

2x+20+50+2x+20+50=360

⇒4x+140= 360

⇒4x=360-140

⇒4x=220

⇒x=220/4

⇒x=55°

Hence, it is concluded that the value of x is (b) 55°.

Step-by-step explanation:

the picture and its text explain it actually already.

each block (or square) on each side represents a fraction.

the whole block is 1. the colored parts are the fraction of that whole (1).

we see the example 2/3 × 3/4

the left block with 2 out of 3 strips marked in pink shows us 2/3 (2/3 of the block is pink).

the right block with 3 out of 4 strips marked in purple shows us 3/4 (3/4 of the block is purple).

it is essential for this method to orient the strips in one block to be at a right angle with the strips of the other block.

now, to do the multiplication you overlay the strips of both blocks.

you see this creates a chess board pattern. the total number of little squares or rectangles is the denominator (bottom part) of the result. in this case 12.

the number of little squares or rectangles that are in both original strips is the numerator (the top part) of the result. in this case 6.

so, yes, 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12, which can then be refined to 1/2.

now, you have to do the same thing with the actual examples (I cannot draw here, sorry) :

1/4 × 3/5 = 3/20

the left block with 4 strips (one in pink, or whatever color you want), the right block with 5 strips (and 3 marked in e.g. purple).

and then the result block with 4 columns and 5 rows creating 20 little squares or rectangles, and 3 of them are in all original strips.

3/5 × 2/3 = 6/15 = 2/5

Weiming receives a weekly pocket money of $28. If he decides to save 20% of it, find his saving in a year and spendings in a year

Answers

Welming's spending is $1164.8 and his savings is $291.2

How to determine the savings and the spending?

The given parameters are:

Weekly pocket = $28

Save = 20%

There are 52 weeks in a year.

So, the yearly pocket is:

Yearly pocket = $28 * 52

Evaluate

Yearly pocket = $1456

He saves 20%.

So, we have:

Savings = 20% * $1456

Evaluate

Savings = $291.2

His spending is then calculated as:

Spending = $1456 - $291.2

Evaluate

Spending = $1164.8

Hence, Welming's spending is $1164.8 and his savings is $291.2

Answers

It takes 16,064 years for the 500g of radium to decay to 5g.

How long will it take for 500g of radium to decay to 5g?

Here we have the decay equation:

[tex]Q(t) = Q_0*e^{-k*t}[/tex]

Where Q₀ is the initial amount, and k is the decay constant.

We know that:

Q₀ = 500g

k = 0.00043

And we want to find the value of t such that Q(t) = 5g, so we need to solve:

[tex]5 = 500*e^{-0.00043*t}\\\\5/500 = e^{-0.00043*t}\\\\0.001 = e^{-0.00043*t}[/tex]

Now we can apply the natural logarithm in both sides:

[tex]ln(0.001) = ln(e^{-0.00043*t})\\\\ln(0.001) = -0.00043*t\\\\\frac{ln(0.001)}{-0.00043} = t = 16,064.5[/tex]
