Y - yo = Vo*t - g * (t^2) / 2

Vo = - 9.0 m/s
t = 0.50 s

=> y - yo = -9.0 m/s * 0.5 s - 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.5s)^2 / 2 = - 4.5m - 1.225m = - 5.725 m.

Answer: option c) - 5.7

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

$E_1 = E_2$

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

$\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}$

now we will have

$\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}$

now square root both sides

$\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}$

now we have

$\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1$

so we have

$r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})$

Neon atoms at 245 K pass through a fan that gives each mole of neon gas an additional kinetic energy of 16.0 J. Part A What is t

hjlf

Answer:

246.28 K

Explanation:

The total energy of one mole of gas molecules can be calculated by the formula given below

E = $\frac{3}{2}\times R\times T$

Where R is gas constant and T is absolute temperature.

Put the value of R as 8.314 and temperature as 245 , we get

E = $\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times 245$

= 3055.4 J

Add 16 j to it

Total energy of gas molecules = 3055.4 + 16 = 3071.4 J.

If T be the temperature after addition of energy then

$\frac{3}{2}\times 8.314\times T$ = 3071.4

T = $\frac{2\times 3071.4}{3\times 8.314}$

T = 246.28 K

A force in the +x-direction with magnitude ????(x) = 18.0 N − (0.530 N/m)x is applied to a 6.00 kg box that is sitting on the ho

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

$v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

First, we calculate the work done by this force after the box traveled 14 m, which is given by:

$W=\int\limits^{x_f}_{x_0} {F(x)} \, dx \\W=\int\limits^{14}_{0} ({18N-0.530\frac{N}{m}x}) \, dx\\W=[(18N)x-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{x^2}{2}]^{14}_{0}\\W=(18N)14m-(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{(14m)^2}{2}-(18N)0+(0.530\frac{N}{m})\frac{0^2}{2}\\W=252N\cdot m-52N\cdot m\\W=200N\cdot m$

Since we have a frictionless surface, according to the the work–energy principle, the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle, that is:

$W=\Delta K\\W=K_f-K_i\\W=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}-\frac{mv_i^2}{2}$

The box is initially at rest, so $v_i=0$ . Solving for $v_f$ :

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2W}{m}}\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2(200N\cdot m)}{6kg}}\\v_f=\sqrt{66.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}\\v_f=8.17\frac{m}{s}$

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti

-BARSIC- [3]

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

$\sum F = ma$ (1)

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

$a=1.50 m/s^2$

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

The forward force of pushing, F
The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

$\sum F = F -R$

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

$F-R=ma$

And solving for F,

$F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N$
