The force (attractive if the charges are dissimilar, else repulsive) is along a line that connects the two particles.

Which of the following units would need to be converted before being used for a calculation

Andreyy89

The units which would need to be converted before being used for a calculation are cm and 0 ks.

This is referred to a standard which is used to make comparisons in the aspect of measurement.

The units cm and 0 ks aren't in their standard form which is m and s respectively.

A daring 510-N swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap. What must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the t

oee [108]

Answer:

$v_x = 1.26 m/s$

Explanation:

given,

weight of swimmer = 510 N

length of ledge, L = 1.75 m

vertical height of the cliff, h = 9 m

speed of the swimmer = ?

horizontal velocity of the swimmer should be that much it can cross the wedge.

distance = speed x time

d = v_x × t

1.75 = v_x × t ........(1)

now,time taken by the swimmer to cover 9 m

initial vertical velocity of the swimmer is zero.

using equation of motion for time calculation

$s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$9= 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2$

t² = 1.938

t = 1.39 s

same time will be taken to cover horizontal distance.

now, from equation 1

1.75 = v_x × 1.39

$v_x = 1.26 m/s$

horizontal speed of the swimmer is equal to 1.26 m/s

One horse is pulling a 755 kg sled straight ahead applying a force of 1988 N. If the acceleration of the sled is 1.36 m/s2, what

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.13

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force on it, the factor of proportionality is the mass. So, we can express that law mathematically as:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

With F the net force, m the mass and a the acceleration of the object. In our case we're interested on what's happening to the sled, then we have to analyze the forces on it, those forces are the weight and the normal force on the vertical direction and the pulling force and frictional force in the horizontal direction. So, because (1) is a vector equation we can express that in their vertical (y) and horizontal (x) components:

$F_y=ma_y$ (2)

$F_x=ma_x$ (3)

On y we have that the acceleration is zero because the sled is not moving upward or downward, remember that the net force on y is the weight (W) pointing downward and the normal force pointing upward:

$F_y=W+n=0$

Following the convention that positive is upward and negative downward, W=mg=(755)(-9.81):

$F_y=(755)(-9.81)+n=0$

$n=7406.55 N$ (4)

Now on the x direction we have the sum of the forces is the pulling force (T) and friction force (f)

$F_x=F+f=ma_x$

Choosing the direction where the horse is pulling F=1988N and the acceleration should be positive too, then:

$1988+f=m(1.36)$

$f=(755)(1.36)-1988=-961.2 N$

The negative sign means it's in the opposite direction the horse is pulling

The frictional force is related with the coefficient of kinetic friction in the next way:

$|f|=\mu_k n$

with μk the coefficient of kinetic friction, and n the normal force that we already found on (4), so we simply solve the last equation for μk:

$\mu_k=\frac{|f|}{n}=\frac{961.2}{7406.55}=0.13$

Would it be true that if you double the distance of an astronaut from a planet, the gravitational pull between them would be hal

velikii [3]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).

F = Gm1m2/r²

This is a general physical law derived from

empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.

when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.
