on it with a 76 N horizontal force. Part A How much work does Paige do on the crate as it slides 4.0 m down the ramp? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

Hence, work done= 287.54 J

Explanation:

Given data:

angle of ramp with the ground θ =20°

force applied = 76 N

work done on the crate to slide down 4 m down the ramp

W= F×d cosθ ( only the cos component of the force will slide the crate down)

W= 76×4×cos20= 287.54 J

Is it possible to have a charge of 5 x 10-20 C? Why?
ruslelena [56]

1) No

2) Yes

3) No

4) Equal and opposite

5) 32400 N

6) Repulsive

7) The electric force is 2.3\cdot 10^{39} times bigger than the gravitational force

Explanation:

1)

In nature, the minimum possible charge that an object can have is the charge of the electron, which is called fundamental charge:

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

Electrons are indivisible particles (they cannot be separated), this means that an object can have at least the charge equal to the charge of one electron (in fact, it cannot have a charge less than e, because it would meant that the object has a "fractional number" of electrons).

In this problem, the object has a charge of

Q=5\cdot 10^{-20}C

If we compare this value to e, we notice that Q, so no object can have a charge of Q.

2)

As we said in part 1), an object should have an integer number of electrons in order to be charged.

This means that the charge of an object must be an integer multiple of the fundamental charge, so we can write it as:

Q=ne

where

Q is the charge of the object

n is an integer multiple

e is the fundamental charge

Here we have

Q=2.4\cdot 10^{-18}C

Substituting the value of e, we find n:

n=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.4\cdot 10^{-18}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=15

n is integer, so this value of the charge is possible.

3)

We now do the same procedure for the new object in this part, which has a charge of

Q=2.0\cdot 10^{-19}C

Again, the charge on this object can be written as

Q=ne

where

n is the number of electrons in the object

Using the value of the fundamental charge,

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

We find:

n=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{2.0\cdot 10^{-19}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.25

n is not integer, so this value of charge is not possible, since an object cannot have a fractional number of electrons.

4)

To solve this part, we use Newton's third law of motion, which states that:

"When an object A exerts a force on an object B (Action force), then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (reaction force)".

In this problem, we have two objects:

- A charge Q

- A charge 5Q

Charge Q exerts an electric force on charge 5Q, and we can call this action force. At the same time, charge 5Q exerts an electric force on charge Q (reaction force), and according to Newton's 3rd law, the two forces are equal and opposite.

5)

The magnitude of the electric force between two single-point charges is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem we have:

q_1=+4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C is charge 1

q_2=+7.2\cdot 10^{-6}C is charge 2

r = 0.30 cm = 0.003 m is the separation

So, the electric force  between the two charges is

F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(4.5\cdot 10^{-6})(7.2\cdot 10^{-6})}{(0.003)^2}=32400 N

6)

The electric force between two charged objects has direction as follows:

- If the two objects have charges of opposite signs (+ and -), the force between them is attractive

- If the two objects have charges of same sign (++ or --), the force between them is repulsive

In this problem, the two charges are:

q_1=+4.5\cdot 10^{-6}C is charge 1

q_2=+7.2\cdot 10^{-6}C is charge 2

We see that the two charges have same sign: therefore, the force between them is repulsive.

7)

The electric force between the proton and the electron in the atom can be written as

F_E=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

q_1 = q_2 = e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C is the magnitude of the charge of the proton and of the electron

r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m is the separation between them

So the force can be rewritten as

F_E=\frac{ke^2}{r^2}

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron can be written as

F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m_p = 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg is the proton mass

m_e=9.11\cdot 10^{-27}kg is the electron mass

Comparing the 2 forces,

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{ke^2}{Gm_p m_e}=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(1.67\cdot 10^{-27})(9.11\cdot 10^{-31})}=2.3\cdot 10^{39}

Find the resistance of wire of<br>0.65m Radius 0.25<br>and<br>resistivity 3x10-6 OHM<br>​
densk [106]

Complete Question:

Find the resistance of a wire of length 0.65 m, radius 0.25 mm and resistivity 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

Answer:

Resistance = 9.95 Ohms

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Length = 0.65 m

Radius = 0.25 mm to meters = 0.00025 m

Resistivity = 3 * 10^{-6} ohm-metre.

To find the resistance of the wire;

Mathematically, resistance is given by the formula;

Resistance = P \frac {L}{A}

Where;

  • P is the resistivity of the material.
  • L is the length of the material.
  • A is the cross-sectional area of the material.

First of all, we would find the cross-sectional area of the wire.

Area of circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area  = 3.142 * (0.00025)²

Area = 3.142 * 6.25 * 10^{-8}

Area = 1.96 * 10^{-7} m²

Now, to find the resistance of the wire;

Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * \frac {0.65}{1.96 * 10^{-7}}

Resistance = 3 * 10^{-6} * 3316326.531

<em>Resistance = 9.95 Ohms </em>

Heat transfer between two substances is affected by specific heat and the
IgorLugansk [536]

The correct answer is D. Amount of time and area of physical contact between the substances.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the flow of thermal energy or heat between two or more objects. This process involves multiple factors and implies heat from the hottest object goes to the coldest one until there is an equilibrium. To begin, heat transfer depends on the amount of thermal energy in the objects because objects must have a different amount of thermal energy for heat to flow.

Besides this, the amount of energy that flows depends on the time and the contact between the substances of objects. Indeed, objects need to be in contact or close to each other for heat to transfer, and the time needs to be enough for the process to occur. For example, if you place a pot over the fire just for a few seconds it is likely the heat transferred is minimal, which does not occur if you leave the pot more time. At the same time if the pot is in close contact with fire more heat will be transferred.-

An observer sees a flower pot sail up and then back down past a window 2.45 m high. If the total time the pot is in the sight is
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer: 2.55meter

Explanation: Using the second equation of motion.

S{hieght} = U*t + {g*t²}/2

Where U is initial velocity =0m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity 10m/s²

t is time 1secs

So we have,

hieght = 0 + {g*t²}/2

hieght = {10*(1)²}/2

Total hieght travelled is 10/2

Which is 5 meter.

But we are asked to find the hieght above the window which as a hieght of 2.45meter.

So,

hieght above window would be

{5 - 2.45}meter

Which is 2.55 meter.

Answer:

Explanation 118 = (1/2) * 0.15 * v² 118 = 0.075 * v² v² = 1573.33 m/s ... since KE = m/2*V^2 , then : V = √2KE/m = √20*118/1.5 = 39.67 m//sec ( 142.8 km/h ; 88.75 mph).:
