Answer:

F = 852 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law to the trailer :

F = m*a Formula (1)

F : net force exerted by the truck on the trailer Newtons (N)

m : mass of the trailer in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration of the trailer in meters over second square (m/s²)

Data

a=1.20 m/s² : acceleration of the trailer

m=710 kg : mass of the trailer

We replace data in the Formula (1) to calculate the net force exerted by the truck on the trailer

F = (710 kg)*(1.20 m/s²)

F = 852 N

A 0.25 kg ball is suspended from a light 0.65 m string as shown. The string makes an angle of 31° with the vertical. Let U = 0 w

steposvetlana [31]

Explanation:

a) The height of the ball h with respect to the reference line is

$h = L - L\cos{31°} = L(1 - \cos{31°})$

so its initial gravitational potential energy $U_0$ is

$U = mgh = mgL(1 - \cos{31°})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=(0.25\:\text{kg})(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31})$

$\:\:\:\:\:=0.23\:\text{J}$

b) To find the speed of the ball at the reference point, let's use the conservation law of energy:

$\Delta{K} + \Delta{U} = 0 \Rightarrow K_0 + U_0 = K + U$

We know that the initial kinetic energy $K_0,$ as well as its final gravitational potential energy $U$ are zero so we can write the conservation law as

$mgL(1 - \cos{31°}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Note that the mass gets cancelled out and then we solve for the velocity v as

$v = \sqrt{2gL(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= \sqrt{2(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)(0.65\:\text{m})(1 - \cos{31°})}$

$\:\:\:\:\:= 1.3\:\text{m/s}$

A charged particle is moving perpendicular to a magnetic field in a circle with a radius r. An identical charge particle enters

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

<em>The second particle will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle</em>

Explanation:

For a charged particle, the force on the particle is given as

$F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

also recall that work is force times the distance traveled

work = F x d

so, the work on the particle = F x d,

where the distance traveled by the particle in one revolution = $2\pi r$

Work on a particle = 2πrF = $2\pi mv^{2}$

This work is proportional to the energy of the particle.

And the work is also proportional to the radius of travel of the particles.

Since the second particle has a bigger speed v, when compared to the speed of the first particle, then, the the second particle has more energy, and thus will move through the field with a radius greater that the radius of the first particle.

A 55.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300. What h

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

161.86 N

Explanation:

mass of box m= 55.0 kg

weight of the box, mg= 55×9.81

g here is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/sec^2

coefficient of friction between the box and the surface μ= 0.3

the friction force F_s= μmg= 0.3×55×9.81

=161.86 N

to move the ball horizontal force required is 161.86 N

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu

lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F$

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}$

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F$

So the force has increased by a factor 6.
