Explanation:

10. As a spaceship is moving toward Earth, an Earthling measures its length to be 325 m, while the captain on board radios that her spaceship's length is 1150 m. (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s) (a) How fast is the rocket moving relative to Earth? (b) What is the TOTAL energy of a 75.0-kg crewman as measured by (i) the captain in the rocket and (ii) the Earthling?

A point charge q1 = 1.0 µC is at the origin and a point charge q2 = 6.0 µC is on the x axis at x = 1 m.
iris [78.8K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Electrostatic Force given by Coulomb's law. This force can be mathematically described as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

Here

k = Coulomb's Constant

q_{1,2} = Charge of each object

d = Distance

Our values are given as,

q_1 = 1 \mu C

q_2 = 6 \mu C

d = 1 m

k =  9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2

a) The electric force on charge q_2 is

F_{12} = \frac{ (9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^2}

F_{12} = 54 mN

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

b) As the force exerted on q_2 will be equal to that act on q_1,

F_{21} = F_{12}

F_{21} = 54 mN

Force is positive i.e. repulsive

c) If q_2 = -6 \mu C, a negative sign will be introduced into the expression above i.e.

F_{12} = \frac{(9*10^9 Nm^2/C^2)(1*10^{-6} C)(-6*10^{-6} C)}{(1 m)^{2}}

F_{12} = F_{21} = -54 mN

Force is negative i.e. attractive

When you jump straight up as high as you can, what is the order of magnitude of the maximum recoil speed that you give to the Ea
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

Explanation:

If i assume i can jump as high as h = 2 m, my initial velocity is gotten from v² = u² + 2gh. Since my final velocity v = 0, u = √2gh = √(2 × 9.8 × 2) = √39.2 m/s = 6.26 m/s.

Since initial momentum = final momentum,

mv₁ + MV₁ = mv₂ + MV₂ where m, M, v₁, V₁, v₂ and V₂ are my mass, mass of earth, my initial velocity, earth's initial velocity, my final velocity and earth's final velocity respectively.

My mass m = 54 kg, M = 5.972 × 10²⁴ kg, v₁ = 6.26 m/s, V₁ = 0, v₂ = 0 and V₂ = ?

So mv₁ + M × 0 = m × 0 + MV₂

mv₁ = MV₂

V₂ = mv₁/M =  54kg × 6.26 m/s/5.972 × 10²⁴ kg = 338.093/5.972 × 10²⁴ = 56.61 × 10⁻²⁴ m/s = 5.661 × 10⁻²³ m/s ≅ 5.66 × 10⁻²³ m/s

A 5-kg concrete block is lowered with a downward acceleration of 2.8 m/s2 by means of a rope. The force of the block on the Eart
maksim [4K]

When the body touches the ground two types of Forces will be generated. The Force product of the weight and the Normal Force. This is basically explained in Newton's third law in which we have that for every action there must also be a reaction. If the Force of the weight is pointing towards the earth, the reaction Force of the block will be opposite, that is, upwards and will be equivalent to its weight:

F = mg

Where,

m = mass

g = Gravitational acceleration

F = 5*9.8

F = 49N

Therefore the correct answer is E.

Precision is how close a series of measurements are to ______
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Accuracy is how close a measured value is to an accepted value. <u>Precision is how close measurements are to one another.</u> To make measurements, you have to evaluate both the accuracy and the precision to get a correct value.
