I think free fall means due to the force of gravity a downwards movement occurs

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?

oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

A point charge (–5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = 4.0 cm, and a second charge (+5.0 µC) is placed on the x axis at x = –4.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric force is $7.2\times10^{-3} N$

Explanation:

Coulomb's Law:

The force of attraction or repletion is

directly proportional to the products of charges i.e $F\propto q_1q_2$

inversely proportional to the square of distance i.e $F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$

$\therefore F\propto \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

$\Rightarrow F=k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$ [ k is proportional constant=9×10⁹N m²/C²]

There are two types of force applied on Q=+2.5 μC=2.5×10⁻⁶ C

Let F₁ force be applied on Q =+2.5 μC by q₁= -5.0 μC = - 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

and F₂ force be applied on Q=+2.5 μC by q₂= 5.0 μC= 5.0×10⁻⁶ C

Since the magnitude of F₁ and F₂ are same. Therefore their y component cancel.

If we draw a line from q₁ to Q .

The it forms a triangle whose base = 4.0 cm and altitude =3.0 cm.

Let hypotenuse = r

Therefore, $r=\sqrt{altitude^2+base^2} =\sqrt{3^2+4^2} =5$

we know,

$cos \theta = \frac{base }{hypotenuse}$

$\Rightarrow cos \theta = \frac{4 }{r}$

Total force $F_Q = 2.F_1 cos\theta \hat{i}$

$=2k\frac{Qq_1}{r^2} cos\theta \hat i$

$=2\ \frac{9\times1 0^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{r^2} \frac{4}{r} \hat i$

$=8\ \frac{9\times10^9\times2.5 \times 5\times 10^{-12}}{5^3} \hat i$ [ r=5]

$=7.2\times10^{-3}\hat i$ N

The magnitude of electric force is $7.2\times10^{-3} N$

A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$|P_3|=21.242m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=200g=0.2$

Speed $v=82.0m/s$

Mass $M_2=300g=0.3kg$

Speed $V_2=45.0m/s$

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

$P_1+P_2+P_3=0$

$|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|$

Where

$P_1=m_1v_1$

$P_1=0.2*82$

$P_1=16.4kgm/s$

And

$P_2=0.3*45$

$P_2=13.5kgm/s$

Therefore

$|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}$

$|P_3|=21.242m/s$

What are the similarities & differences between a thermistor and a light dependent resistor in physics?

viva [34]

An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.
