The tralational equilibrium condition allows finding that the electric potential is   V = 4.8 10¹¹ V

Given parameter

  • The mass m = 1.5 g = 1.15 10-3 kg
  • The charge on the sphere q = 8.9 10-16 C
  • Plate spacing d = 5 cm = 5.00 10-2 m

To find

  • The potential difference

Newton's second law states that the force is proportional to the mass and the acceleration of the bodies, in the special case that the acceleration is zero, it establishes the condition for the equilibrium of the bodies

          ∑ F = 0

Where the bold indicate vector and F is the force

To use this equation we must fix a reference system with respect to which to carry out the decomposition and measurements of the forces; let's fix a system with the horizontal x axis and the vertical y axis, in the attachment I could see a free body diagram.

x- axis

     Fe - Tₓ = 0

     Fe = Tₓ

y-axis

     T_y - W = 0

     W = T_y

     mg = T_y

The electric force is

      Fe = q E = q V / d

let's use trigonometry to decompose the stress

     cos 30 =  T_y / T

     sin 30 = Tₓ / T

      T_y = T cos 30

      Tₓ = T sin 30

We substitute

        q V / d = T sin 30

        mg = T cos 30

It's solve the system of equations

         \frac{q \ V}{d \ m g} = tan 30

         V = \frac{d \ mg }{ q}\ tan \  30

It's calculate

         V = \frac{5.00 \ 10^{-2} 1.5 \ 10^{-3} \ 9.8}{ 8.9 10^{-16} } \ tan \ 30

         V = 4.768 10¹¹ V

In conclusion, using the equilibrium condition, we could find that the electric potential is V = 4.8 10¹¹ V

Two ropes are attached to either side of a 100.0 kg wagon as shown below. The rope on the right is pulled at an angle 40.0° rela
NikAS [45]

The acceleration of the wagon is found by applying Newton's Second Law of motion.

1. The responses for question 1 are;

  • x-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately <u>91.93 N</u>
  • y-component of the tension in the rope on the right is approximately <u>71.135 N</u>
  • x-component of the tension in the rope on the left is -80.0 N
  • y-component of the tension in the rope on the left is 0

2. The net force in the x-direction is approximately <u>11.93 N</u>

3. The net acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction is approximately <u>0.1193 m/s²</u>.

Reasons:

The given parameters are;

Mass of the wagon, m = 100.0 kg

Angle of inclination to the horizontal of the rope to the right, θ = 40.0°

Tension in the rope on the right = 120.0 N

Direction in which the rope on the left is pulled = To the west

Tension in the rope on the left = 80.0 N

1. The <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> component of the tension in the rope on the right are;

x-component = 120.0 N × cos(40.0°) ≈ <u>91.93 N</u>

y-component = 120.0 N × sin(40.0°) ≈ <u>77.135 N</u>

The <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> component of the tension in the rope on the left are;

x-component = 80.0 N × cos(180°) = <u>-80.0 N</u>

y-component = 80.0 N × sin(180°) = <u>0.0 N</u>

2. The net force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ, is found as follows;

Fₓ = The x-component of the rope on the left + The x-component of the rope on the right

Which gives;

Fₓ = 91.93 N - 80.0 N = <u>11.93 N</u>

3. The net acceleration of the block is given as follows;

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, we have;

Force in the horizontal direction, Fₓ = Mass of wagon, m × Acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ

Fₓ = m × aₓ

Therefore;

\displaystyle a_x = \frac{F_x}{m}  \approx \frac{11.93 \, N}{100.0 \, kg} = \mathbf{0.1193 \ m/s^2}

  • The acceleration of the wagon in the horizontal direction, aₓ ≈ <u>0.1193 m/s²</u>.

Hello guys! Can u please help me with physics. I translated it in English. Can yall help me please how much u can!!
DedPeter [7]

1. Since the body is thrown vertically upward, the only force acting on it as it rises and falls is gravity, which causes a constant downward acceleration with magnitude g = 9.8 m/s². Because this acceleration is constant, we can use the formula

v² - u² = 2a ∆x

where

u = initial speed

v = final speed

a = acceleration

∆x = displacement

At its maximum height, some distance y above the point where the body is launched, the body has zero velocity, so

0² - (20 m/s)² = 2 (-9.8 m/s²) y

Solve for y :

y = (20 m/s)² / (2 (9.8 m/s²)) ≈ 20.4 m

2. Relative to the ground, the body's maximum height is 60 m + 20.4 m ≈ 80.4 m.

3. At any time t ≥ 0, the body's vertical velocity is given by

v = 20 m/s - gt

At the highest point, we have

0 = 20 m/s - (9.8 m/s²) t

and solving for t gives

t = (20 m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) ≈ 2.04 s

4. The body's height y above the ground at any time t ≥ 0 is given by

y = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 gt²

Solve for t when y = 0 :

0 = 60 m + (20 m/s) t - 1/2 (9.8 m/s²) t²

Using the quadratic formula,

t = (-b + √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)

(and omitting the negative root, which gives a negative solution) where a = -1/2 (9.8 m/s²), b = 20 m/s, and c = 60 m. You should end up with

t ≈ 6.09 s

5. At the time found in (4), the body's velocity is

v = 20 m/s - g (6.09 s) ≈ -39.7 m/s

Speed is the magnitude of velocity, so the speed in question is 39.7 m/s.

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W
Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>W = 0.49 N</u>

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

<u>τ = 0.4851 Nm</u>

The pivot exerts a  <u>FORCE </u>on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.
