A +13.4 nC charge is located at (0,9.4) cm and a -4.23 nC charge is located (4.99, 0) cm. Where would a -14.23 nC charge need to

be located in order that the electric field at the origin be zero? Express your answer, in cm, as the magnitude of the distance of q3 from the origin.

In order to solve this problem, we will first need to find the electric field at the origin without the 3rd charge

E1 = (9x10^9)(13.4x10^-9)/(9.4x10^-2)^2 = 13648.7 V/m towards the negative y-axis

E2 = (9x10^9)(4.23x10^-9)/(4.99x10^-2)^2 = 15289.1 V/m towards the positive x-axis

The red arrow shows the direction of which the electric field points.

To make the electric field at the origin 0, we must find a location where q3 = the magnitude of q1 and q2

Etotal = sqrt(E1+E2) = 20494.97 V/m

E3 = 20494.97 = (9x10^9)(14.23x10^-9)/(d)^2

d = 0.079 m = 7.9 cm

Answer:

The extension is directly proportional to the force applied.

ex: if the force is doubled, the extension doubles. This works until the limit of proportionality is exceeded.

A swift blow with the hand can break a pine board. As the hand hits the board, the kinetic energy of the hand is transformed int
Stells [14]

Answer:

A. The hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand = 1025 N

Explanation:

A.To determine the speed the hand must move with to break the board, the force workdone in breaking the board is found first.

Workdone = force × distance

Minimum force required = 870 N;

Distance moved by board/Deflection in order to break = 1.4 cm = 0.014 M

Workd done = 870 N × 0.014 m = 12.18 Nm or 12.18 J

This work done = Kinetic energy of the hand

Kinetic energy = mv²/2 ; where m is mass and v is velocity

Mass of hand = 0.50 Kg, velocity = ?, K.E. = 12.18 J

v² = 2 KE/m

v = √2KE/m

v = √(2 × 12.18/0.50)

v = 6.98 m/s

Therefore, the hand must move with a velocity of 6.98 m/s to break the board.

B. Average force on the hand

This can be determined using the equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as to find acceleration, since force = mass × acceleration

From the equation of motion, a = v² - u²/2s

At rest, v = 0, u = 6.98, s = 1.2 cm = 0.012 m

a = 0² - 6.98²/ 2 × 0.012

a = -2030 m/s²

Force = 2030 m/s² × 0. 50 kg = 1015 N

Therefore, Average force on the hand = 1025 N

11) A man is on a 1/4 on a bridge. A train is coming the same direction he is going. The man can run across the bridge in the sa
lesya692 [45]

15mph

If the man turns and runs toward point A, he will cover

3/8 of the length of the bridge in the time that it takes

the train to reach A.

If the man runs forward toward point B, what part of the bridge

will he cover before the train reaches A? Well, he will cover

3/8 of the bridge, only heading forward toward B. This will put

him 3/8 + 3/8 = 6/8 = 3/4 of the way across the bridge by the

time the train reaches A.

since we know that the man and the train will meet at B, this

means that in the time it takes the man to run the remaining

1/4 of the bridge, the train will cover the entire length of

the bridge.

If it takes the man the same time to cover 1/4 of the bridge

that it takes the train to cover the whole bridge, then the train

must be going four times as fast as the man. Another way of saying

this is that the man runs at 1/4 the speed of the train.  

Since the train's speed is known to be 60 mph, this means that

the man runs at (1/4) 60 = 15 mph.

Predict changes in state according to change in particle motion. Know the vocabulary used to describe changes of state.
ziro4ka [17]

The change in the state of matter causes change in the motion of the particles of the matter. The gaseous state of matter has the greatest speed while the solid state has the least speed.

The change in state of every matter is accompanied by lost or gained of energy.

Example is water.

The solid state of water is ice. The motion of particles of the water is relatively zero because the molecules are held at a fixed position.

The liquid state of water occurs when the temperature of the ice is increased above zero degree Celsius. The speed of the particles of water in liquid state is greater than solid state.

The gaseous state of water occurs when the temperature of the liquid water is increased beyond 100 degree Celsius. The speed of water in gaseous state is greater than liquid state.

You are watching a magic show. For one trick the magician rolls a ball down a hill. Suddenly the ball stops moving down the hill
poizon [28]
The forces (what causes the ball to accelerate) are gravity, friction, and the normal force. In this case, gravity is a downward force caused by the gigantic mass of the Earth and the mass of the ball. Keep in mind that a force is acceleration. Acceleration is a change in velocity. The ball speeds up. Than it stops speeding up at a certain point where the frictional force (along with air friction) equals the parallel component of gravity. 




Newton's Second Law States- The greater mass of an object, the more force it will take to accelerate the object.
