Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

At one instant,

Center of mass is at 2m

Xcm = 2m

And velocity =5•i m/s

One of the particle is at the origin

M1=? X1 =0

The other has a mass M2=0.1kg

And it is at rest at position X2= 8m

a. Center of mass is given as

Xcm = (M1•X1 + M2•X2) / (M1+M2)

2 = (M1×0 + 0.1×8) /(M1 + 0.1)

2 = (0+ 0.8) /(M1 + 0.1)

Cross multiply

2(M1+0.1) = 0.8

2M1 + 0.2 =0.8

2M1 = 0.8-0.2

2M1 = 0.6

M1 = 0.6/2

M1 = 0.3kg

b. Total momentum, this is an inelastic collision and it momentum after collision is given as

P= (M1+M2)V

P = (0.3+0.1)×5•i

P = 0.4 × 5•i

P = 2 •i kgm/s

c. Velocity of particle at origin

Using conversation of momentum

Momentum before collision is equal to momentum after collision

P(before) = M1 • V1 + M2 • V2

We are told that M2 is initially at rest, then, V2=0

So, P(before) = 0.3V1

We already got P(after) = 2 •i kgm/s in part b of the question

Then,

P(before) = P(after)

0.3V1 = 2 •i

V1 = 2/0.3 •i

V1 = 6 ⅔ •i m/s

V1 = 6.667 •i m/s

Based on the attached image:

  • The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
  • The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
  • The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
  • Longitude 120° is B
  • Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
  • The location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

<h3>What are lines of longitude?</h3>

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines which run along the earth from the North pole. to the South pole.

Longitude lines divide the earth into semi-circles.

Longitude lines are known as meridians and each meridian measures one arc degree of longitude.

Considering the attached image:

  • The name of the longitude line that passes through point A is the International Date Line
  • The longitude 180° is experiencing solar noon because the rays of the sun are parallel to it.
  • The longitude for 6 pm is 90° W, 12 midnight is 0°, and 6 am is 90° E
  • Longitude 120° is B
  • Solar time at Point B is 4 pm
  • the location will correspond to any point on the same latitude as A

In conclusion, longitude lines are imaginary lines and run from North to South on the earth.

Recall this kinematic equation:

a = \frac{Vi+Vf}{Δt}

This equation gives the acceleration of the object assuming it IS constant (the velocity changes at a uniform rate).

a is the acceleration.

Vi is the initial velocity.

Vf is the final velocity.

Δt is the amount of elapsed time.


Given values:

Vi = 0 m/s (the car starts at rest).

Vf = 25 m/s.

Δt = 10 s


Substitute the terms in the equation with the given values and solve for a:

a = \frac{0+25}{10}

<h3>a = 2.5 m/s²</h3>

A 5.0-nC point charge is embedded at the center of a nonconducting sphere (radius = 2.0 cm) which has a charge of -8.0 nC distri
Blababa [14]

Answer:

3.6 × 10⁵ N/C = 360 kN/C

Explanation:

Let R = 2.0 cm be the radius of the sphere and q = -8.0 nC be the charge in it. Let q₁ be the charge at radius r = 1.0 cm. Since the charge is uniformly distributed, the volume charge density is constant. So, q/4πR³ = q₁/4πr³

q₁ = q(r/R)³. The electric field due to q₁ at r is E₁ = kq₁/r² = kq(r/R)³/r² = kqr/R³

The electric field due to the point charge q₂ = 5.0 nC is E₂ = kq₂/r².

So, the magnitude of the total electric field at r = 1.0 cm is

E = E₁ + E₂ = kqr/R³ + kq₂/r² = k(qr/R³ + q₂/r²)

E = 9 × 10⁹(-8 × 10⁻⁹ C × 1 × 10⁻² m/(2 × 10⁻² m)³ + 5 × 10⁻⁹ C/(1 × 10⁻² m)²)

E = 9 × 10⁹(-1 × 10⁻⁵ + 5 × 10⁻⁵)

E = 9 × 10⁹(4 × 10⁻⁵)

E = 36 × 10⁴ N/C = 3.6 × 10⁵ N/C = 360 kN/C
