Answer : The amount of power used is, 90 W

Solution :

Formula used for power :

$P=\frac{W}{t}\\\\As,W=F\times d\\\\So,P=\frac{F\times d}{t}$

where,

P = power

W = work done

F = applied force = 54 N

d = displacement = 10 m

t = time taken = 6 s

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the amount of power used.

$P=\frac{(54N)\times (10m)}{6s}=90watts=90W$

Therefore, the amount of power used is, 90 W

First, calculate the work done: 54 x 10 = 540J.
Now calculate power: 540 / 6 = 90.
The answer is 90W.

Hope this helps.

Coulomb’s law and static point charge ensembles (15 points). A test charge of 2C is located at point (3, 3, 5) in Cartesian coor

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

a) $F_{r}= -583.72MN i + 183.47MN j + 6.05GN k$

b) $E=3.04 \frac{GN}{C}$

Step-by-step explanation.

In order to solve this problem, we mus start by plotting the given points and charges. That will help us visualize the problem better and determine the direction of the forces (see attached picture).

Once we drew the points, we can start calculating the forces:

$r_{AP}^{2}=(3-0)^{2}+(3-0)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{AP}^{2}= 43 m^{2}$

(I will assume the positions are in meters)

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F=k_{e}\frac{q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}$

so we substitute the values:

$F_{AP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(1C)(2C)}{43m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{AP}=418.14 MN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{APx}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}i$

$F_{APx}=191.30 MNi$

$F_{APy}=418.14 MN*\frac{3}{\sqrt{43}}j$

$F_{APy}=191.30MN j$

$F_{APz}=418.14 MN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{43}}k$

$F_{APz}=318.83 MN k$

And we can now write them together for the first force, so we get:

$F_{AP}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{BP}^{2}=(3-1)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}+(5+0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{BP}^{2}= 33 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{BP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(4C)(2C)}{33m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{BP}=2.18 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{BPx}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}i$

$F_{BPx}=758.98 MNi$

$F_{BPy}=2.18 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{33}}j$

$F_{BPy}=758.98MN j$

$F_{BPz}=2.18 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{33}}k$

$F_{BPz}=1.897 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the second, so we get:

$F_{BP}=(758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN$

We continue with the next force. The procedure is the same so we get:

$r_{CP}^{2}=(3-5)^{2}+(3-4)^{2}+(5-0)^{2}$

which yields:

$r_{CP}^{2}= 30 m^{2}$

Next, we can make use of the force formula:

$F_{CP}=(8.99x10^{9})\frac{(7C)(2C)}{30m^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{CP}=4.20 GN$

Now we can find its components:

$F_{CPx}=4.20 GN*\frac{-2}{\sqrt{30}}i$

$F_{CPx}=-1.534 GNi$

$F_{CPy}=4.20 GN*\frac{2}{\sqrt{30}}j$

$F_{CPy}=-766.81 MN j$

$F_{CPz}=4.20 GN*\frac{5}{\sqrt{30}}k$

$F_{CPz}=3.83 GN k$

And we can now write them together for the third force, so we get:

$F_{CP}=(-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So in order to find the resultant force, we need to add the forces together:

$F_{r}=F_{AP}+F_{BP}+F_{CP}$

so we get:

$F_{r}=(191.30i+191.30j+318.83k)MN + (758.98i + 758.98j + 1897k)MN + (-1.534i - 0.76681j +3.83k)GN$

So when adding the problem together we get that:

$F_{r}=(-0.583.72i + 0.18347j +6.05k)GN$

which is the answer to part a), now let's take a look at part b).

Basically, we need to find the magnitude of the force and divide it into the test charge, so we get:

$F_{r}=\sqrt{(-0.583.72)^{2} + (0.18347)^{2} +(6.05)^{2}}$

which yields:

$F_{r}=6.08 GN$

and now we take the formula for the electric field which is:

$E=\frac{F_{r}}{q}$

so we go ahead and substitute:

$E=\frac{6.08GN}{2C}$

$E=3.04\frac{GN}{C}$

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight of the rock is W = mg = (80 kg) (10 m/s²) = 800 N.

The mechanical advantage is therefore 800 N / 200 N = 4.

When a guitar string plays the note "a," the string vibrates at 440 hz ?

Rama09 [41]

Yes, that's correct. The note "A" (which is used to tune the other strings of the guitar) corresponds to a frequency of 440 Hz.
