How do I ship a pringle in the mail without it breaking? This is a physics project.

Assuming you want it to be as small and lightweight as possible :

Cut a solid box roughly twice as big as the pringle. Put the pringle inside the box, and fill the remaining space with cotton, that will cushion the impacts. Be sure to apply the mention <em>FRAGILE</em> to the box, so that they'll take care of it properly.

Find the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a

34kurt

Answer:

E= $\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on ring= Q

Radius of ring=a

We have to find the magnitude of electric filed on the axis at distance a from the ring's center.

We know that the electric field at distance x from the center of ring of radius R is given by

$E=\frac{kQx}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Substitute x=a and R=a

Then, we get

$E=\frac{KQa}{(a^2+a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=\frac{KQa}{(2a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=\frac{KQa}{2\sqrt 2a^3}$

$E=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Where K= $9\times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

Hence, the magnitude of the electric filed due to charged ring on the axis of ring at distance a from the ring's center= $\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

A runner moves 2.88 m/s north. She accelerates at 0.350 m/s^2 at a -52.0 angle. At the point in the motion where she is running

MrRissso [65]

The runner has initial velocity vector

$\vec v_0=\left(2.88\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\,\vec\jmath$

and acceleration vector

$\vec a=\left(0.350\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(\cos(-52.0^\circ)\,\vec\imath+\sin(-52.0^\circ)\,\vec\jmath)$

so that her velocity at time $t$ is

$\vec v=\vec v_0+\vec at$

She runs directly east when the vertical component of $\vec v$ is 0:

$2.88\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}+\left(0.350\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin(-52.0^\circ)\,t=0\implies t=10.4\,\rm s$

It's not clear what you're supposed to find at this particular time... possibly her position vector? In that case, assuming she starts at the origin, her position at time $t$ would be

$\vec x=\vec v_0t+\dfrac12\vec at^2$
