Two forces, 80N and 100N acting at an angle of 60 degrees with each other, pull on an object. What single force would replace th
KIM [24]

We use the law of Cosines, resultant force

F =\sqrt{(F_{1})^2 + (F_{2})^2 + 2 F_{1} F_{2} cos  \theta   }

Here, (F_{1}) and (F_{2}) are forces acting at angle \theta with each other.

Given F_{1} = 80 N, F_{2} = 100 N and \theta = 60^0.

Substituting these given values in above formula we get

F =\sqrt{(80)^2 + (100)^2 + 2 \times 80 \times 100 \ cos 60^0     } = 156. 20 \ N.

Thus, the resultant force is 156 N.

Suppose you are helping Galileo measure the acceleration due to gravity by dropping a canon ball from the tower of Pisa, You mea
Anni [7]

It is given that the height of the tower is

h=183 ft.

The uncertainty the measurement of this height is

\Delta h=0.2 ft

Drop time is measured as:

t=3.5s

The uncertainty in measurement of time is:

\Delta t=0.5 s

Using the equation of motion: h=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2 where, h is the distance covered, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

u=0 (because canon ball is in free fall). we need to calculate the value of a=g.

\Rightarrow h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2

\Rightarrow g=\frac{2h}{t^2}\\ \Rightarrow g=\frac{2\times 183ft}{(3.5s)^2}=29.87 ft/s^2

The uncertainty in this value is given by:

\Delta g=g\sqrt{(\frac{\Delta h}{h})^2+(\frac{2\Delta t}{t})^2}

Substitute the values:

\Delta g=29.87\sqrt{(\frac{0.2 }{183})^2+(\frac{2\times 0.5}{3.5})^2}=29.87\sqrt{1.19\times 10^{-6}+0.08}=29.87\times \sqrt{0.08}=29.87\times 0.28=8.44 ft/s^2

A particle with charge −5 µC is located on
Nataly [62]

Answer:

36.25 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law:

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

where:

k=9\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the magnitude of the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

Moreover:

- The force is repulsive if the two  charges have same sign

- The force is attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem, we have 3 charges:

q_1=-5\mu C = -5\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge located at x=+10 cm = +0.10 m

q_2=+6\mu C=+6\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge located at x=-8 cm =-0.08 m

q_3=+2\mu C=+2\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge located at x=-2 cm=-0.02 m

The force between charge 1 and charge 3 is:

F_{13}=\frac{kq_1 q_3}{(x_1-x_3)^2}=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(5\cdot 10^{-6})(2\cdot 10^{-6})}{(0.10-(-0.02))^2}=6.25 N

And since the two charges have opposite sign, the force is attractive, so the force on charge 3 is to the right (towards charge 1).

The force between charge 2 and charge 3 is:

F_{23}=\frac{kq_2 q_3}{(x_2-x_3)^2}=\frac{(9\cdot 10^9)(6\cdot 10^{-6})(2\cdot 10^{-6})}{(-0.08-(-0.02))^2}=30.0 N

And since the two charges have same sign, the force is repulsive, so the force on charge 3 is to the right (away from charge 2).

So the two forces on charge 3 have same direction (to the right), so the net force is the sum of the two forces:

F=F_{13}+F_{23}=6.25+30.0=36.25 N
