Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are 146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}= 2.9\mu C

Second chargeq_{2}= 2.9\mu C

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}

E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}

E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta

E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45

E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta

E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45

E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the net electric field

E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}

E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C

E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})

\theta=75.36^{\circ}

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are 146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C and 75.36°.

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 33.0° above the horizon at 15.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the soccer ball, m = 0.425 kg

Speed of the ball, u = 15 m/s

Angle with horizontal, \theta=33^{\circ}

Time for which the player's foot is in contact with it, \Delta t = 5.1\times 10^{-2}\ s

Part A,

The x component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

\Delta p_x=mv\ cos\theta

\Delta p_x=0.425\times 15\ cos(33)

p_x=5.34\ kg-m/s

The y component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

\Delta p_y=mv\ sin\theta

\Delta p_y=0.425\times 15\ sin(33)

p_y=3.47\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

What should a sailboat operator do when approaching a PWC head-on
nekit [7.7K]

<u><em>In accordance with the International Regulation for the prevention of collisions at sea</em></u><u>: </u>

<u>1.- A sailing boat has a passing preference over a motorized boat, </u><u>except when the motor boat is limited by its draft</u><u>. </u>

<u>2.- The sailboat must maintain its course and speed. </u>

<u>3.- </u><em><u>If it is evident that the PWC does not respond</u></em><u>, the sailboat must sound the warning signal, and change its course to starboard. </u>

<u>4.- </u><u><em>All actions must be taken as soon as possible</em></u><u>. </u>

<u>5.- If a sailboat is using its engine, the situation changes, and in that case, both ships must alter to starboard.</u>
