Answer:

Scientists apply a similar reasonable process every time.

Explanation:

Scientific methods are mathematical and experimental procedures that are used to solve scientific problems. In the scientific method, events are observed and a background research is conducted. Series of hypotheses are created and later tested. Then, the results are analysed and a conclusion is drawn. In most cases, the results or findings are shared with the public and other researchers. Therefore, scientist generally apply the same reasonable process every time to solve the different scientific problems encountered .

An archer shoots an arrow with a mass of 45.0 grams from bow pulled

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The force the archer need to pull in order to achieve the height is approximately 101.8 N

Explanation:

By energy conservation principle, puling an elastic bow with a force, for a given distance, performs work which is converted to the potential energy of the arrow at height

The given parameters are;

The mass of the arrow, m = 45.0 grams = 0.045 kg

The distance the elastic bow is pulled, d = 65.0 cm = 0.65 m

The height at which the arrow is reaches, h = 150.0 meters

Let 'F', represent the force the archer need to pull in order to achieve the height

Work done, W = Force × Distance moved in the direction of the force

Therefore;

The work done in pulling the arrow, W = F × d

By energy conservation, we have;

The work done in pulling the arrow, W = The potential energy gained by the arrow, P.E.

W = P.E.

The potential energy gained by the arrow, P.E. = m·g·h

Where;

m = The mass of the arrow

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height the arrow reaches

∴ by plugging in the values, P.E. = 0.045 kg ×9.8 m/s² × 150 m = 66.15 J

W = F × d = F × 0.065 m

Also, W = P.E. = 66.15 J

∴ W = F × 0.065 m = 66.15 J

F × 0.065 m = 66.15 J

F = 66.15 J/(0.65 m) = 1323/13 N ≈ 101.8 N

The force the archer need to pull in order to achieve the height, F ≈ 101.8 N.

An electron moves at 0.130 c as shown in the figure (Figure 1). There are points: A, B, C, and D 2.10 μm from the electron.

Olegator [25]

Hi there!

We can use Biot-Savart's Law for a moving particle:
$B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v}\times \vec{r}}{r^2 }$

B = Magnetic field strength (T)
v = velocity of electron (0.130c = 3.9 × 10⁷ m/s)

q = charge of particle (1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C)

μ₀ = Permeability of free space (4π × 10⁻⁷ Tm/A)

r = distance from particle (2.10 μm)

There is a cross product between the velocity vector and the radius vector (not a quantity, but specifies a direction). We can write this as:

$B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }$

Where 'θ' is the angle between the velocity and radius vectors.

a)
To find the angle between the velocity and radius vector, we find the complementary angle:

θ = 90° - 60° = 30°

Plugging 'θ' into the equation along with our other values:

$B= \frac{\mu_0 }{4\pi}\frac{q\vec{v} \vec{r}sin\theta}{r^2 }\\\\B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(30)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 }$

$B = \boxed{7.07 *10^{-10} T}$

b)
Repeat the same process. The angle between the velocity and radius vector is 150°, and its sine value is the same as that of sin(30°). So, the particle's produced field will be the same as that of part A.

In this instance, the radius vector and the velocity vector are perpendicular so

'θ' = 90°.

$B= \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})}{4\pi}\frac{(1.6*10^{-19})(3.9*10^{7}) \vec{r}sin(90)}{(2.1*10^{-5})^2 } = \boxed{1.415 * 10^{-9}T}$

d)
This point is ALONG the velocity vector, so there is no magnetic field produced at this point.

Aka, the radius and velocity vectors are parallel, and since sin(0) = 0, there is no magnetic field at this point.

$\boxed{B = 0 T}$

A 150 kg safe on frictionless casters is being raised at 1.20m to the bed of a truck using planks 4m long. The force needed to p

Vesnalui [34]

The only thing you need to know in order to solve this task is that <span>plank length (which is force x), should equal the increase in potential energy, so what we have now : (mass)* g * (height).
It has to look like that: </span>
<span>F * 3.0 = 150 x 9.81 x 1.20
Then solve for F, the result should be in newtones = 588N

Do hope it makes sense.</span>

The earth has a vertical electric field at the surface, pointing down, that averages 100 N/C. This field is maintained by variou

zlopas [31]

Answer:

q = 3.6 10⁵ C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise, let's use one of the consequences of Gauss's law, that all the charge on a body can be considered at its center, therefore we calculate the electric field on the surface of a sphere with the radius of the Earth

r = 6 , 37 106 m

E = k q / r²

q = E r² / k

q = $\frac{100 \ (6.37 \ 10^6)^2}{9 \ 10^9}$

q = 4.5 10⁵ C

Now let's calculate the charge on the planet with E = 222 N / c and radius

r = 0.6 r_ Earth

r = 0.6 6.37 10⁶ = 3.822 10⁶ m

E = k q / r²

q = E r² / k

q = $\frac{222 (3.822 \ 10^6)^2}{ 9 \ 10^9}$

q = 3.6 10⁵ C
