Answer:

2.25 N upwards

Explanation:

Answer:

800 N/C to the right

Explanation:

The equation that relates force on a charge, electric field and charge is

F=qE

where

F is the force acting on the charge

q is the charge

E is the electric field

In this problem, we have

E=15 N/C is the electric field

q=-0.15 C is the charge

Substituting into the formula, we find the force

F=(-0.15 C)(15 N/C)=-2.25 N

Concerning the direction:

- The electric field and the force have same directions if the charge is positive

- The electric field and the force have opposite directions if the charge is negative

Here the charge is negative, so the electric field has opposite direction to the force: therefore, it must be upwards.

A pendulum has a length of 2 m and a 30 kg mass hanging on the end. What is the period of the
anastassius [24]

Answer:

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

Explanation:

Hi!

The formula that you will want to use to solve this question is:

T = 2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{L}{g}  }

T--> period

L --> length of the pendulum

g --> acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)

since we know that the mass of the bob at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period of the pendulum, we can go ahead and ignore that bit of information (unless, of course, the weight causes the pendulum to stretch)

so now we can plug in our given info into the formula above and solve!

T = 2*pi * sqrt(2/9.8)

T = 2.83701481512 seconds

*Note*

- I used 3.14 to pi, if you need to use a different value for pi (a longer version, etc) your answer will be slightly different

I hope this helped!

NARA [144]

Answer:

208.33 W

141.26626 seconds

Explanation:

E = Energy = 6\times 10^6\ J

t = Time taken = 8 h

m = Mass = 2000 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of platform = 1.5 m

Power is obtained when we divide energy by time

P=\frac{E}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{6\times 10^6}{8\times 60\times 60}\\\Rightarrow P=208.33\ W

The average useful power output of the person is 208.33 W

The energy in the next part would be the potential energy

The time taken would be

t=\frac{E}{P}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{mgh}{208.33}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{2000\times 9.81\times 1.5}{208.33}\\\Rightarrow t=141.26626\ s

The time taken to lift the load is 141.26626 seconds
