Answer:

B. 25 m/s/s

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is the square of the tangential velocity divided by the radius of curvature.

a = v² / r

Given v = 10 m/s and r = 4 m:

a = (10 m/s)² / 4 m

a = 25 m/s²

A ball of radius R and mass m is magically put inside a thin shell of the same mass and radius 2R. The system is at rest on a ho

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius $= 2R$

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

$xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x$

$x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Therefore the enclosing layer moves $x =\frac{-R}{2}$

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: $F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

$F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}$

where $L\sqrt{2}=$ Distance between the two charges

$F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

$F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}$

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of $90^{\circ}$

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

$F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

$F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

A baseball hit just above the ground leaves the bat 27 m/s at 45° above the horizontal. A) How far away does the ball strike the

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

A) The ball hits the ground 74.45 m far from the hitting position.

B) Maximum height of the ball = 18.57 m

Explanation:

There are two types of motion in this horizontal and vertical motion.

We have velocity = 27 m/s at 45° above the horizontal

Horizontal velocity = 27cos45 = 19.09 m/s

Vertical velocity = 27sin45 = 19.09 m/s

Time to reach maximum height,

v = u + at

0 = 19.09 - 9.81 t

t = 1.95 s

So total time of flight = 2 x 1.95 = 3.90 s

A) So the ball travels at 19.09 m/s for 3.90 seconds.

Horizontal distance traveled = 19.09 x 3.90 = 74.45 m

So the ball hits the ground 74.45 m far from the hitting position.

B) We have vertical displacement

S = ut + 0.5 at²

H = 19.09 x 1.95 - 0.5 x 9.81 x 1.95² = 18.57 m

Maximum height of the ball = 18.57 m

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is r

Charra [1.4K]

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

The thumb points in the direction of speed.

Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.

The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.
