Answer:

General Expression: E = kql/(l² + r²)^(3/2)

(a) 6.3 MN/C

(b) 22.8 MN/C

(c) 6.1 MN/C

(d) 0.63 MN/C

Explanation:

The general expression for electric field along axis of a uniformly charged ring is:

<u>E = kqL/(L² + r²)^(3/2)</u>

where,

E = Electric Field Strength = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q = Total Charge = 71 μC = 71 x 10⁻⁶ C

L = Distance from center on axis

r = radius of ring = 10 cm = 0.1 m

(a)

L = 1 cm = 0.01 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(0.01 m)/[(0.01 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (6390 N.m³/C)/(0.00101 m³)

<u>E = 6.3 x 10⁶ N/C = 6.3 MN/C</u>

<u></u>

(b)

L = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(0.05 m)/[(0.05 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (31950 N.m³/C)/(0.00139 m³)

<u>E = 22.8 x 10⁶ N/C = 27.4 MN/C</u>

<u></u>

(c)

L = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(0.3 m)/[(0.3 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (191700 N.m³/C)/(0.03162 m³)

<u>E = 6.1 x 10⁶ N/C = 6.1 MN/C</u>

<u></u>

(d)

L = 100 cm = 1 m

Therefore,

E = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(71 x 10⁻⁶ C)(1 m)/[(1 m)² + (0.1 m)²]^(3/2)

E = (639000 N.m³/C)/(1.015 m³)

<u>E = 0.63 x 10⁶ N/C = 0.63 MN/C</u>

This is a very valid hypothesis for many reasons. One is that solar systems form from massive amounts of dust, ice, and debris that eventually form into planets and such. This means it is very possible for this 'excess material' if you will to have moved into orbit behind Neptune.

Three forces act on a moving object. One force has a magnitude of 83.7 N and is directed due north. Another has a magnitude of 5

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N$

$\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''$

Explanation:

For an object to move with constant velocity, the acceleration of the object must be zero:

$\vec{a} = \vec{0}$ .

As the net force equals acceleration multiplied by mass , this must mean:

$\vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} = m * \vec{0} = \vec{0}$ .

So, the sum of the three forces must be zero:

$\vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 = \vec{0}$ ,

this implies:

$\vec{F}_3 = - \vec{F}_1 - \vec{F}_2$ .

To obtain this sum, its easier to work in Cartesian representation.

First we need to define an Frame of reference. Lets put the x axis unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing east, with the y axis unit vector $\hat{j}$ pointing south, so the positive angle is south of east. For this, we got for the first force:

$\vec{F}_1 = 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j})$ ,

as is pointing north, and for the second force:

$\vec{F}_2 = 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})$ ,

as is pointing west.

Now, our third force will be:

$\vec{F}_3 = - 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}) - 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})$

$\vec{F}_3 = 83.7 \ N \ \hat{j} + 59.9 \ N \ \hat{i}$

$\vec{F}_3 = (59.9 \ N , 83.7 \ N )$

But, we need the magnitude and the direction.

To find the magnitude, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$|\vec{F}_3| = \sqrt{(59.9 \ N)^2 + (83.7 \ N)^2}$

$|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N$

this is the magnitude.

To find the direction, we can use:

$\theta = arctan(\frac{F_{3_y}}{F_{3_x}})$

$\theta = arctan(\frac{83.7 \ N }{ 59.9 \ N })$

$\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''$

and this is the angle south of east.

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.
