kirill [66]3 years ago

3 0

Answer:

0 N

Explanation:

Net force = mass × acceleration

∑F = ma

The velocity is constant, so the acceleration is 0. Therefore, the net force is 0.

An isolated charged point particle produces an electric field with magnitude E at a point 2 m away. At a point 1 m from the part

guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The electric field at a distance r from the charged particle is given by :

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

k is electrostatic constant

if r = 2 m, electric field is given by :

$E_1=\dfrac{kq}{(2)^2}\\\\=\dfrac{kq}{4}\ .....(1)$

If r = 1 m, electric field is given by :

$E_2=\dfrac{kq}{r_2^2}\\\\=\dfrac{kq}{1}\ ....(2)$

Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :

$\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kq}{4}}{kq}\\\\\dfrac{E_1}{E_2}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\E_2=4\times E_1$

So, at a point 1 m from the particle, the electric field is 4 times of the electric field at a point 2 m.

21) A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest

zlopas [31]

Answer:

-22,150 N

Explanation:

When the youngster jumps off the platform, during the fall her initial potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, according to the law of conservation of energy. Therefore, we can write:

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where the term on the left is the potential energy while the term on the right is the kinetic energy, and where

m = 50.0 kg is the mass of the youngster

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 1.00 m is the heigth of the platform

u is the speed of the youngster as she reaches the floor

Solving for u,

$u=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.00)}=4.43 m/s$

Then, when the youngster hits the floor, the force exerted on her during the deceleration is given by:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}=\frac{m(v-u)}{\Delta t}$

where $\Delta p$ is her change in momentum, and where

m is the mass

v = 0 is the final velocity (she comes to a stop)

u = 4.43 m/s is the initial velocity

$\Delta t=10.0 ms =0.010 s$ is the duration of the collision

Substituting,

$F=\frac{(50.0)(0-4.43)}{0.010}=-22150 N$

And the negative sign means the direction of the force is opposite to the motion (so, upward).

What selective pressures favored an increase in brain size in hominid primates?

Viktor [21]

The colossal brains of people are to a great extent because of one segment the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the focal point of dialect, rationale, critical thinking, and data preparing. A high bent in these territories would be exceptionally favorable to primitive seekers.

Answer :First part is what you learned so write what you learned then the other parts is The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.

You want to estimate the height of the Empire State Building. You start at its base and walk 15 m away. Then you approximate the

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

429 m

Explanation:

In this exercise you are suppose to simulate a right triangle, the catheti are the distance you walked and the height of the empire state building.

tan(88) = (height) /(distance you walked)

28.64 = height / 15

height = 429 m
