$Given:\\ \alpha =55^\circ\\p=20kg\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\v_v=40 \frac{m}{s} \\\\Find:\\m=?\\\\Solution:\\\\p_v=mv_v\Rightarrow m= \frac{p_v}{v_v} \\\\ \frac{p_v}{p} =\cos \alpha \Rightarrow p_v=p\cos \alpha \\\\m= \frac{p\cos \alpha }{v_v} \\\\m= \frac{20kg\cdot \frac{m}{s} \cdot \cos 55^\circ }{40 \frac{m}{s} } \approx 0.287kg=287g$

Two boxes are connected to each other by a string as shown in the figure. The 10-n box slides without friction on the horizontal

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

T=7.4 N hence T<30 N

Explanation:

The figure is likely to be similar to the one attached. Writing the equation for forces we have

F-T=Fa/g where F is the force, T is tension, a is acceleration and g is acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the figures we have the first equation as

30 N - T = (30/9.81)a

Also, we know that T=F*a/g and substituting 10N for F we obtain the second equation as

T = (10/9.81)a

Adding the first and second equations we obtain

30 = 4.077471967

a Hence

$a=\frac {30}{4.077471967}=7.3575 m/s^{2}$

and T=a hence

T is approximately 7.4 N

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface

salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

R = 2r

= $2 \times 0.1 m$

= 0.2 m

where, R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

U = $\frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}$

= $\frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}$

= 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, $\frac{U}{2}$ .
