Answer:

1. Reduce the charge on second object by half or

2. Increase the distance between the two charges by a factor of 1.41 (√2).

Explanation:

Lets assume,

Charge on first object = Q

Charge on second object = q

Distance between them = r

Force between the two charges = F

According to Coulomb's law,

$F = k \frac{Qq}{r^{2}}$

where, k = Coulomb constant

New value of charge on first object = 2Q. Thus the new force(F') will be

$F' = k \frac{2Qq}{r^{2}}$

$F' = 2F$

So, to bring the value of force(F') to original value, there are two options:

1. Reduce the charge on second object by half or

2. Increase the distance between the two charges by a factor of 1.41 (√2).

Vector c has a magnitude 24.6 m and is in the direction of the negative y-axis. vectors a and b are at angles Î± = 41.4Â° and Î²

storchak [24]

The vector c has a magnitude of 24.6m and it is in the negative y direction. Therefore
$\vec{c} = - 24.6 \hat{j}$

The vector b is 41.4° up from the x-axis. Therefore
$\vec{b} = b[cos(41.4^{o}) \hat{i} + sin(41.4^{o}) \hat{j} ] =b(0.75\hat{i} + 0.6613 \hat{j})$

The vector a is 27.7° up from the x-axis. Therefore
$\vec{a} = a[cos(22.7^{o})\hat{i} + sin(27.7^{o})\hat{j}] = a(0.8854\hat{i} + 0.4648\hat{j})$

Because $\vec{a} +\vec{b} + \vec{c} = 0$ , the sum of the x and y components should be zero. Therefore,
For the x-component,
0.8854a + 0.75b = 0
or
a + 0.847b = 0 (1)
For the y-component,
0.4648a + 0.6613b - 24.6 = 0
or
a + 1.4228b = 52.926 (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
0.5758b = 52.926
b = 91.917
a = -0.847b = -77.854

Answer:
The magnitude of vector a is -77.85 m
The magnitude of vector b is 91.92 m

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?

Delvig [45]

With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet

Two boats leave the same port at the same time, with boat A traveling north at 15 knots (nautical miles per hour) and boat B tra

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The chance in distance is 25 knots

Explanation:

The distance between the two particles is given by:

$s^2 = (x_A - x_B)^2+(y_A - y_B)^2$ (1)

Since A is traveling north and B is traveling east we can say that their displacement vector are perpendicular and therefore (1) transformed as:

$s^2 = x_B^2+y_A^2$ (2)

Taking the differential with respect to time:

$\displaystyle{2s\frac{ds}{dt}= 2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt}}$ (3)

where $\displaystyle{\frac{dx_B}{dt}}=v_B$ and $\displaystyle{\frac{dx_A}{dt}}=v_A$ are the respective given velocities of the boats. To find $s$ and $x_B$ we make use of the given position for A, $y_A=30$ , the Pythagoras theorem and the relation between distance and velocity for a movement with constant velocity.

$\displaystyle{y_A = v_A\cdot t\rightarrow t = \frac{y_A}{v_A}=\frac{30}{15}=2 h$

with this time, we know can now calculate the distance at which B is:

$\displaystyle{x_B = v_B\cdot t= 20 \cdot 2 = 40\ nmi$

and applying Pythagoras:

$\displaystyle{s = \sqrt{x_B^2+y_A^2}=\sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50}$

Now substituting all the values in (3) and solving for $\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} }$ we get:

$\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{1}{2s}(2x_B\frac{dx_B}{dt}+2y_A\frac{dy_A}{dt})}\\\displaystyle{\frac{ds}{dt} = 25 \ knots}$

A car travels initially at 24 m/s, until it enters the highway. If the car accelerates at 4 m/s^2 for a 96 meters, what is the c

marishachu [46]

initial velocity=u=24m/s
Acceleration=a=4m/s^2
Distance=s=96m
Final velocity=v

Using 3rd equation of kinematics

$\boxed{\Large{\sf v^2-u^2=2as}}$

$\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=u^2+2as$

$\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=24^2+2(4)(96)$

$\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=576+768$

$\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v^2=1344$

$\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v=\sqrt{1344}$

$\\ \Large\sf\longmapsto v=36.6m/s$
