<span>When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block. work = m g h work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = 52.92 joules The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block. work = - (force) (h) work = - m g h work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = -52.92 joules The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).</span>

A 16-cm-long straight line connects the center of a turntable to its edge. The turntable rotates counter-clockwise at 45 rpm. A
Bond [772]

Answer:

\mathbf{V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}

\mathbf{V_y = 1.29\ cm/s}

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the table r = 16 cm  = 0.16 m

The angular velocity = 45 rpm

= 45 \times \dfrac{1}{60}(2 \pi)

= 4.71 rad/s

However, the relative velocity of the bug with turntable is:

v = 3.5 cm/s = 0.035 m/s

Thus, the time taken to reach the bug to the end is:

t = \dfrac{r}{v}

t = \dfrac{0.16}{0.035}

t = 4.571s

So the angle made by the radius r  with the horizontal during the time the bug gets to the end is:

\theta = \omega t

\theta = 4.712 \times 4.571

\theta = 21.54^0

Now, the velocity components of the bug with respect to the table is:

V_x = Vcos \theta

V_x = 0.035 \times cos (21.54^0)

V_x = 0.0325 \ m/s

\text {V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}\mathbf{V_x = 3.25 \ cm/s}

Also, for the vertical component of the velocity V_y

V_y = V sin \theta

V_y = 0.035 \times sin (21.54^0)

V_y = 0.0129\ m/s

\mathbf{V_y = 1.29\ cm/s}

A point charge Q is held at a distance r from the center of a dipole that consists of two charges ±q separated by a distance s.
marishachu [46]

Answer:

a) the magnitude of the force is

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3}) and where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b)  the magnitude of the torque on the dipole

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²

Explanation:

from coulomb's law

E = \frac{kq}{r^{2} }

where k = 1/4πε₀

the expression of the electric field due to dipole at a distance r is

E(r) = \frac{kp}{r^{3} } , where p = q × s

E(r) = \frac{kqs}{r^{3} } where r>>s

a) find the magnitude of force due to the dipole

F=QE

F= Q(\frac{kqs}{r^3})

where k = 1/4πε₀

F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

b) b) magnitude of the torque(τ) on the dipole is dependent on the perpendicular forces

τ = F sinθ × s

θ = 90°

note: sin90° = 1

τ = F × r

recall  F = Qqs/4πε₀r³

∴ τ = (Qqs/4πε₀r³) × r

τ = Qqs/4πε₀r²
