It can be anything from zero to 20N. It depends on the directions of the forces.

Two machines, A and B, each working at a constant rate, can complete a certain task working together in 6 days. In how many days

Vinvika [58]

your question is missing the given conditions, here is the complete question;

Two machines, A and B, each working at a constant rate, can complete a certain task working together in 6 days. In how many days, working alone, can machine A complete the task?

(1) The average time A and B can complete the task working alone is 12.5 days.

(2) It would take machine A 5 more days to complete the task alone than it would take machine B to complete the task

Answer:

Machine A, working alone, can complete the task in 15 days.

Explanation:

As the average is given as 12.5 so,

A+B=2*12.5

A+ B=25

second condition says machine A takes 5 more days to complete the task alone than B so

A=B+5........Eq1

Now from the question statement we can get that

1/A+1/B=1/6, where A is time needed for A to do the task alone and B is the time needed for B to complete the task alone

thus, simplyfing above equation we get as

AB/A+B=6; \\ putting A+B=25 we get

AB/25=6

AB=6*25

AB=150; \\ putting Eq1 we get

(B+5)B=150

B^2+5B-150=0

simplifying the quadratic equation above we get B=10

putting B=10 in Eq1, we get

A+10=25

A=15

Thus, Machine A, working alone, can complete the task in 15 days.

Two particles, each of mass 7.0 kg, are a distance 3.0 m apart. To bring a third particle, with mass 21 kg, from far away to a r

garri49 [273]

Answer: the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Explanation:

Given that;

Mass M1 = 7.0 kg

r = 3.0/2 m = 1.5 m

Mass M2 = 21 kg

we know that G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

work done by an external agent W = -2GM2M1 / r

so we substitute

W = (-2 × 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 21 × 7) / 1.5

W = -1.96098 × 10⁻⁸ / 1.5

W = -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

Therefore the external agent must do work equal to -1.3 × 10⁻⁸ J

If a 5000-kg is moving at a speed of 43 m/s, what is its momentum?

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

215000kgm/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the moving body = 5000kg

Velocity = 43m/s

Unknown:

Momentum = ?

Solution:

The momentum of a body is the amount of motion a body possess.

It is mathematically expressed as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Now:

Momentum = 5000 x 43 = 215000kgm/s

An electron is in motion at 4.0 × 106 m/s horizontally when it enters a region of space between two parallel plates, as shown, s

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

xmax = 9.5cm

Explanation:

In this case, the trajectory described by the electron, when it enters in the region between the parallel plates, is a semi parabolic trajectory.

In order to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron you first calculate the vertical acceleration of the electron.

You use the Newton second law and the electric force on the electron:

$F_e=qE=ma$ (1)

q: charge of the electron = 1.6*10^-19 C

m: mass of the electron = 9.1*10-31 kg

E: magnitude of the electric field = 4.0*10^2N/C

You solve the equation (1) for a:

$a=\frac{qE}{m}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(4.0*10^2N/C)}{9.1*10^{-31}kg}=7.03*10^{13}\frac{m}{s^2}$

Next, you use the following formula for the maximum horizontal distance reached by an object, with semi parabolic motion at a height of d:

$x_{max}=v_o\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}$ (2)

Here, the height d is the distance between the plates d = 2.0cm = 0.02m

vo: initial velocity of the electron = 4.0*10^6m/s

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (2):

$x_{max}=(4.0*10^6m/s)\sqrt{\frac{2(0.02m)}{7.03*10^{13}m/s^2}}\\\\x_{max}=0.095m=9.5cm$

The horizontal distance traveled by the electron is 9.5cm
