In which situation is the maximum possible work done?

Physics
1 answer:
ExtremeBDS [4]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Answer is A.

Explanation:

Remember the equation for work:

W = F d cos θ

Math explanation: When θ = 0, cos θ = 1, so Fd is a maximum. For any other value of θ up to 90 degrees, cos θ < 1 so Fd will be smaller. For θ = 180, you're pushing away from the direction of displacement so you're actually doing negative work.

Intuitive explanation: you have the most success pushing an object when you apply the force directly against it compared to if the force was directed at an angle.

galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2 is the area of the plates

d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}

Since we know the energy

U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

The displacement vector A and B when added together , give the resultant vector R so that R= A+B use the data in the drawing and
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The addition of vectors involve both magnitude and direction. In this case, we make use of a triangle to visualize the problem. The length of two sides were given while the measure of the angle between the two sides can be derived. We then assign variables for each of the given quantities.

Let:

b = length of one side = 8 m
c = length of one side = 6 m
A = angle between b and c = 90°-25° = 75°

We then use the cosine law to find the length of the unknown side. The cosine law results to the formula: a^2 = b^2 + c^2 -2*b*c*cos(A). Substituting the values, we then have: a = sqrt[(8)^2 + (6)^2 -2(8)(6)cos(75°)]. Finally, we have a = 8.6691 m.

Next, we make use of the sine law to get the angle, B, which is opposite to the side B. The sine law results to the formula: sin(A)/a = sin(B)/b and consequently, sin(75)/8.6691 = sin(B)/8. We then get B = 63.0464°. However, the direction of the resultant vector is given by the angle Θ which is Θ = 90° - 63.0464° = 26.9536°.

In summary, the resultant vector has a magnitude of 8.6691 m and it makes an angle equal to 26.9536° with the x-axis.
