Answer:

a) $F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

b) $a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of raindrops, $m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

charge on the raindrops, $q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C$

horizontal distance between the raindrops, $r=0.0044\ m$

A)

<u>From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:</u>

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}$

we have:

$\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}$

<em>Now force:</em>

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}$

$F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

B)

<u>Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:</u>

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of each drop, m = 1.8 mg = 1.8 x 10^-6 kg

Charge on each drop, q = 21 pC = 21 x 10^-12 C

distance, d = 0.44 cm = 0.0044 m

(a) The formula for the electrostatic force between them is given by

$F =\frac{Kq^{2}}{d^{2}}$

$F =\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^{2}}$

F = 2.05 x 10^-7 N

Thus, the force is 2.05 x 10^-7 N .

(b) Let a be the acceleration.

a = F / m

$a = \frac{2.05\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}$

a = 0.114 m/s^2

A wheel has a radius of r = 2.0 m and it rolls down a smooth incline. The height of the incline is h = 8.0 m . What is the angul

zepelin [54]

The angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

The angular velocity (ω) of an object is the rate at which the object's angle position is changing in relation to time.

For a wheel attached to an incline angle, the angular velocity can be computed by considering the conservation of energy theorem.

As such the total kinetic energy (K.E) and rotational kinetic energy (R.K.E) at a point is equal to the total potential energy (P.E) at the other point.

i.e.

P.E = K.E + R.K.E

$\mathbf{mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}m(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times I \times \omega^2}$

$\mathbf{gh = \dfrac{1}{2}(r \times \omega)^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times r^2 \times \omega^2}$

$\mathbf{2 \times \dfrac{gh}{r^2} =\omega^2 + \omega^2}$

$\mathbf{2 \omega^2=2 \times \dfrac{9.81 \times 8 m }{2.0 ^2} }$

$\mathbf{\omega^2=\dfrac{39.24 }{2}}$

$\mathbf{\omega=\sqrt{19.62 } \ rad/sec}$

$\mathbf{\omega=4.429 \ rad/sec}$

Therefore, we can conclude that the angular velocity of the wheel at the bottom of the incline is 4.429 rad/sec

an empty density bottle weighed 23.5 and 48.4g when filled with water .The empty bottle was partially filled with sand until and

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Density of Sand is $2.653g/cm^{3}$ .

Explanation:

Given Empty Density bottle weighs 23.5gm(W=23.5gm)

Weight of bottle when completely filled water=48.4gm

So amount of water required to fill the bottle=Weight of bottle filled with water-W

Amount of water required to fill the bottle( $w_{max}$ )=48.4gm-23.5gm

$w_{max}=24.9$ g

Since we know density of water $d_{w} =1g/cm^{3}$ and $w_{max}$

We can calculate volume of empty space in the bottle(V).

$w_{max}=d_{w}$ $\times$ V

V= $\frac{w_{max} }{d_{w} }$

V= $\frac{24.9}{1}$

V=24.9 $g/cm^{3}$

Now bottle is partially filled with sand,and weight of bottle is ( $w_{s}$ )36.5gm

So,

Amount of sand added ( $m_{s}$ )=36.5-Weight of the bottle

$m_{s}$ =13g

After filling the bottle with water again,the weight of the bottle becomes ( $W_{2}$ =56.5g)

Therefore,

amount of water added to the bottle of sand in grams = $W_{2}$ -36.5gm

amount of water added =56.5g-36.5g

amount of water added =20g

As the density of water = 1g/ $cm^{3}$

Amount of water (in grams )=Volume of water occupied

20=volume of water added

Therfore volume of water added to the sand filled bottle( $V_{w}$ )=20 $cm^{3}$

As we know the total volume of the water bottle(V),

Volume of the sand occupied in the water bottle=V- $V_{w}$

$V_{s}$ =24.9g-20g

$V_{s}$ =4.9g

We know,

Density=Mass/Volume

Therefore,

density of sand = $\frac{m_{s} }{V_{s} }$

density of sand = $\frac{13}{4.9}$

density of sand = $2.653g/cm^{3}$

In a local bar, a customer slides an empty beer mug down the counter for a refill. The height of the counter is 1.42 m. The mug

telo118 [61]

Answer:

a) $V_{x}=3.72m/s$ , b) ∠=-54.83°

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must start with a drawing of the situation, this will help us visualize the problem better. (See picture attached).

a)

Now, the idea is that the beer mug has a horizontal speed and no vertical speed at initial conditions. So knowing this, we can start finding the initial velocity of the mug.

In order to do so, we need to find the time it takes for the mug to reach the ground. We can find it by using the following equation:

$y=y_{0}+V_{y0}t+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

We can see from the drawing that y and the initial velocity in y are zero, so we can simplify our formula:

$0=y_{0}+\frac{1}{2}a_{y}t^{2}$

so we can solve for t, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)y_{0}}{a}}$

so now we can substitute the known values, so we get:

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-(2)(1.42)}{-9.8}}$

which yields:

t=0.538s

So we can use this value to find the velocity in x:

$V_{x}=\frac{x}{t}$

When substituting we get:

$V_{x}=\frac{2m}{0.538s}$

which yields:

$V_{x}=3.72m/s$

b)

In order to solve part b, we need to find the y-component of the velocity, for which we can use the following formula:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{f}^{2}-V_{0}^{2}}{2a}$

We know that $V_{0}$ is zero, so we can simplify the expression:

$\Delta y=\frac{V_{yf}^{2}}{2a}$

So we can solve the equation for $V_{yf}^{2}$ so we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2\Delta y a}$

and when substituting the known values we get:

$V_{yf}=\sqrt{2(-1.42m)(-9.8m/s^{2})}$

which yields:

$V_{yf}=-5.28m/s$

Once we got the final velocity in y, we can use it together with the velocity in x to find the angle.

So we can use the following formula:

$tan \theta =\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}}$

when solving for theta we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{V_{y}}{V_{x}})$

We can substitute so we get:

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.28m/s}{3.72m/s})$

which yields:

$\theta = -54.83^{o}$
