Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 4.99 × 10⁻⁴ N b. 1.46 × 10⁻³ N c. 4.83 nC

Explanation:

(a) Find the magnitude of the electric force acting on each ball.

The tension in the string, T is resolved into horizontal and vertical components Tsin20° and Tcos20° respectively, since the string makes an angle of 20° with the vertical.

Let F = electric force and W = mg be the weight of the ball where m = mass of ball = 0.14 g = 0.14 × 10⁻³ kg and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

The electric force acts in the opposite direction to the horizontal component of the tension in each string. Since the masses are in equilibrium,

Tsin20° = F (1)

Also, the weight of the ball acts downwards, opposite to the direction of the vertical component of the tension in the string. Since the masses are in equilibrium,

Tcos20° = W = mg

Tcos20° = mg (2)

Dividing (1) by (2), we have

Tsin20°/Tcos20° = F/mg

tan20° = F/mg

F = mgtan20°

So, F = 0.14 × 10⁻³ kg × 9.8 m/s²× tan20°

F = 0.4994 × 10⁻³ N

F = 4.994 × 10⁻⁴ N

F ≅ 4.99 × 10⁻⁴ N

(b) Find the tension in each of the threads.

Since  Tsin20° = F

T = F/sin20°

=  4.99 × 10⁻⁴ N/sin20°

= 4.99 × 10⁻⁴ N/0.3420

= 14.59 × 10⁻⁴ N

= 1.459 × 10⁻³ N

≅ 1.46 × 10⁻³ N

(c) Find the magnitude of the charge on the balls.

From Coulomb's law, the electric force between the masses of charge q and separated by a distance r = 2.05 cm = 2.05 × 10⁻² m

F = kq²/r² where k = 9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q² = Fr²/k

q = √(Fr²/k)

q = [√(F/k)]r

Thus,  

q = [√(F/k)]r

q = [√( 4.99 × 10⁻⁴ N/9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²)]2.05 × 10⁻² m

q = [√(0.5544 × 10⁻¹³ C²/m²)]2.05 × 10⁻² m

q = [√(5.544 × 10⁻¹⁴ C²/m²)]2.05 × 10⁻² m

q = [2.355 × 10⁻⁷ C/m]2.05 × 10⁻² m

q = 4.83 × 10⁻⁹ C

q = 4.83 nC

Where is the most and the least KENETIC ENERGY

Answers

Answer:

Where is kinetic energy the least?, and most?

Explanation:

Least : When the Moon is farthest from Earth in its nearly elliptical orbit, its speed is least. Its kinetic energy has become least, and its potential energy is greatest.

Further : Kinetic energy, form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.

What is the velocity of an 80 kg person skating across the ice with a kinetic energy of 16, 000 joules?

Answers

Answer:

V = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 80kg

Kinetic energy = 16,000 joules

To find the velocity;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

[tex] K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}[/tex]

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

16000 = ½*80*V²

16000 = 40V²

V² = 16000/40

V² = 400

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

V = 20 m/s

(3)

Answers

Answer:

To calculate anything - speed, acceleration, all that - we need data. The more data we have, and the more accurate that data is, the more accurate our calculations will be. To collect that data, we need to measure it somehow. To measure anything, we need tools and a method. Speed is a measure of distance over time, so we'll need tools for measuring time and distance, and a method for measuring each.

Conveniently, the lamp posts in this problem are equally spaced, and we can treat that spacing as our measuring stick. To measure speed, we'll need to bring time in somehow too, and that's where the stopwatch comes in. A good method might go like this:

Press start on the stopwatch right as you pass a lamp postEach time you pass another lamp post, press the lap button on the stopwatchPress stop after however many lamp posts you'd like, making sure to hit stop right as you pass the last lamp postRecord your dataCalculate the time intervals for passing each lamp post using the lap dataCalculate the average of all those invervals and divide by 40 m - this will give you an approximate average speed

Of course, you'll never find an *exact* amount, but the more data points you have, the better your approximation will become.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

a). Vertical component of vector B = Bsin(45)

                                                     = 40sin(45°)

                                                     = 28.28 units

Horizontal component of vector B = Bcos(45°)

                                                         = 40cos(45°)

                                                         = 28.28 units

Vertical component of vector C = Csin(45°)

                                                     = 30sin(45°)

                                                     = 21.21 units

Horizontal component of vector C = Ccos(45°)

                                                         = 30cos(45°)

                                                         = 21.21 units

Vertical forces = A + Bsin(45°) - Csin(45°)

                       = 20 + 28.28 - 21.21

                       = 27.07

Horizontal forces = Bcos(45°) + Ccos(45°)

                             = 28.28 + 21.21

                             = 49.49 units

b). Magnitude of resultant force = [tex]\sqrt{(27.07)^2+(49.49)^2}[/tex]

                                                = [tex]\sqrt{3182.045}[/tex]

                                                = 56.41 units

c). Direction of the resultant force → Along vector B (at an angle of 45° from the horizontal line)

Solution:

La energía cinética es la energía contenida en un objeto en movimiento. La energía cinética se puede definir como la cantidad de energía necesaria para que un objeto se acelere desde el reposo hasta su velocidad final.

La energía cinética (KE) viene dada por:

KE = (1/2) * masa * velocidad²

Podemos ver que la energía cinética depende de la masa del objeto y la velocidad del objeto.

El tren de alta velocidad posee energía cinética debido a la velocidad del tren.

A ball is launched horizontally at a speed of 4.0m/s from the top of a cliff that is 24.6 meters high. Where in the ball's trajectory is the horizontal speed a maximum? Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

The horizontal speed of the ball is constant where there is little resistance from the air

Explanation:

From the given parameters of the ball, we have;

The horizontal speed of the ball = 4.0 m/s

The height of the cliff from which the ball is launched = 24.6 meters

The direction in which the ball is launched = Horizontally

The components of the forces acting on the ball are;

The vertical force = The Earth's gravitational attraction

The horizontal force = 0 N (There are no horizontal forces acting on the ball)

According to Newton's first law of motion, the ball will continue in its uniform motion or in its rest state unless acted upon by a force

Therefore, given that there are no horizontal forces component acting on the ball, (little air resistance) the ball will continue with the initial horizontal velocity, such that the horizontal velocity of the ball remains constant.
