Answer:

a)The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

Explanation:

a) Consider the vertical motion of plane,

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Displacement, s = 192 m

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

192 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²

t = 6.26 seconds

Now we need to find horizontal distance traveled in 6.26 seconds by the package.

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 41 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 41 x 6.26 + 0.5 x 0 x 6.26²

s = 256.52 m

The package strikes 256.2 m in the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

b) The horizontal component will not change it remains same as 41 m/s

c) We have equation of motion, v = u+ at

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Time, t = 6.26 s

Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²

Substituting

v = u+ at

v = 0 + 9.81 x 6.26 = 61.41 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = 61.41 m/s

Two charged objects separated by some distance attract each other. If the charges on both objects are doubled with no change in

beks73 [17]

Answer:

a. the force between them quadruples

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

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

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, the charges on both objects are doubled, so

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

While the distance does not change, so the new force will be

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

so, the force will quadruple.

How many coulombs of charge do 50 * 10^31 electrons possess

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Quantity of Charge , Q = ne
Where n = number of electrons
e = charge on one electron = -1.6 * 10 ^-19 C.
n = 50 * 10^31 electrons

Q = (50 * 10^31)*( -1.6 * 10 ^-19 ) = -8 * 10^13 C.

Note that the minus sign indicates that the charge is a negative charge.

A solenoid of length 18 cm consists of closely spaced coils of wire wrapped tightly around a wooden core. The magnetic field str

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$B_2 = 1.71 mT$

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field near the center of solenoid is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{L}$

now we know that initially the length of the solenoid is L = 18 cm and N number of turns are wounded on it

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2 mT

now we pulled the coils apart and the length of solenoid is increased as L = 21 cm

so we have

$\frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{L_2}{L_1}$

now plug in all values in it

$\frac{2.0 mT}{B_2} = \frac{21}{18}$

$B_2 = 1.71 mT$
