Yes for an object moving on a horizontal plane, R = mg (where mg = weight). therefore, for an object moving on a horizontal plane: F = μmg

A point charge of -4.28 pC is fixed on the y-axis, 2.79 mm from the origin. What is the electric field produced by this charge a
makkiz [27]

Answer:

E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C

magnitude E = 3.75N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field at the point P, you use the following formula, which takes into account the components of the electric field vector:

\vec{E}=-k\frac{q}{r^2}cos\theta\ \hat{i}+k\frac{q}{r^2}sin\theta\ \hat{j}\\\\\vec{E}=k\frac{q^2}{r}[-cos\theta\ \hat{i}+sin\theta\ \hat{j}]              (1)

Where the minus sign means that the electric field point to the charge.

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q = -4.28 pC = -4.28*10^-12C

r: distance to the charge from the point P

The point P is at the point (0,9.83mm)

θ: angle between the electric field vector and the x-axis

The angle is calculated as follow:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2.79mm}{9.83mm})=74.15\°

The distance r is:

r=\sqrt{(2.79mm)^2+(9.83mm)^2}=10.21mm=10.21*10^{-3}m

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\vec{E}=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{4.28*10^{-12}C}{(10.21*10^{-3}m)}[-cos(15.84\°)\hat{i}+sin(15.84\°)\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{E}=(-3.61\hat{i}+1.02\hat{j})\frac{N}{C}\\\\|\vec{E}|=\sqrt{(3.61)^2+(1.02)^2}\frac{N}{C}=3.75\frac{N}{C}

The electric field is E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C with a a magnitude of 3.75N/C

A 10 m long uniform beam weighing 100 N is supported by two ropes at the ends. If a 400 N person sits at 2.0 m from one end of t
Naddik [55]

Answer:

T1 = 130N, T2 = 370N

Explanation:

In order for the system to be at rest, the sum of all forces must be zero and the torque around a point on the beam must be zero.

1. forces:

Let tension in rope 1 be T1 and in rope 2 be T2:

ma = T1 + T2 - 100N - 400N = 0

(1) T1 + T2 = 500N

2. torque around the center point of the beam:

τ = r x F = 5*T1 + 3*400N - 5*T2 = 0

(2) T1 - T2 = -240N

Solving both equations:

T1 = 130N

T2 = 370N

A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

There will be conservation of momentum along horizontal plane because no force acts along horizontal plane.

momentum of first piece = .320 kg x 2 m/s

= 0.64 kg m/s along x -axis.

momentum of second piece = .355 kg x 1.5 m/s

= 0.5325 kg m/s along y- axis .

Let the velocity of third piece be v and it is making angle of θ with x -axis .

Horizontal component of its velocity = .100 kg x v cosθ = .1 v cosθ

vertical  component of its velocity = .100 kg x v sinθ = .1 v sinθ

For making total momentum in the plane zero

.1 v cosθ = 0.64 kg m/s

.1 v sinθ = 0.5325 kg m/s

Dividing

Tanθ = .5325 / .64 = .83

θ = 40⁰.

The angle will be actually 180 + 40 = 220 ⁰ from positive x -axis.

A soccer ball is kicked At 8m/s. It lands on the ground after being in the air for .85 seconds. At what angle is it kicked?
SpyIntel [72]

If ball remains in air for total time T = 0.85 s

this is also known as time of flight

In order to find the time of flight we can use kinematics

\Delta Y = v_y*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

so for complete motion its displacement in y direction will be zero

0 = v_y* 0.85 + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(0.85^2)

0 = v_y*0.85 - 3.54

v_y = 4.165 m/s

now we know that net velocity of the ball is 8 m/s

while is y direction component we got is vy = 4.165 m/s

now by component method we can say

v_y = v sin\theta

4.165 = 8 sin\theta

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{4.165}{8}

\theta = 31.4^0

so it is projected at an angle of 31.4 degree above horizontal
