A 1.95-nC charged particle located at the origin is separated by a distance of 0.0800 m from a 3.78-nC charged particle located

farther along the positive x axis. Both particles are held at their locations by an external agent.

Answer:

(a) The electrostatic force on the 3.78-nC particle is 10.35 \times 10^{-6} N along the  

    positive x axis.

(b) The electrostatic force on the 1.95-nC particle is 10.35 \times 10^{-6} N along the  

    negative x axis.

Explanation:

a.) The electrostatic force on the 3.78 nC particle is

    F_1 = \frac{Q_1 \times Q_2}{4 \pi \epsilon_0 r^2}  \hat{i}    where Q_1 is the 1.95 nC charge at the origin, and

                                        Q_2 is the 3.78 nC  charge at 0.08 m from the origin

                                         r is the distance of 0.08 between the charges

                                         \epsilon_{0} is the relative permittivity of 8.854 × 10^{-12} F/m.

Therefore F_1 = \frac{1.95 \times 10^{-9} \times 3.78 \times 10^{-9}}{4 \times \pi \times 8.854 \time 10^{-12} \times (0.08)^2}    =  10.35 \times 10^{-6} Newton in the positive x direction.

b.) The electrostatic force on the 1.95 nC particle is the same as the electrostatic force on the 3.78 nC particle except that its direction is in the negative x- axis direction.

What provides most of the force to allow the runners to move?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

When you are running the most important force that you should understand is friction. Friction is a force that opposes movement between two objects, but for runners friction makes you faster. Friction gives you a better and more efficient way to use your energy into speed.

A ball of mass M is suspended by a thin string (of negligible mass) from the ceiling of an elevator.uploaded image
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.  T > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor. T > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor. T < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity. T = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing. T < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest. T = mg

Explanation:

To answer this question, consider all the forces acting on the elevator.

The mass of the ball acting downwards due to gravity = mg

The tension on the string depends on upward or downwards force on the ball. T = m(a+g)

where a is acceleration and increase in velocity causes increase in acceleration, and vice versa. (a = v/t)

(a) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a+g) > mg

(b) The elevator is traveling upward and its upward velocity is increasing as it begins its journey towards a higher floor.

If the upward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing.

Then, T = m(a+g) > mg

(c) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is decreasing as it nears a stop at a lower floor.

If the downward velocity is decreasing, its acceleration is also decreasing, and acceleration is not equal to Zero

T = m(a-g) < mg

(d) The elevator is traveling downward at a constant velocity

At constant velocity, acceleration is zero, because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

T = m(0+g) = mg

(e) The elevator is traveling downward and its downward velocity is increasing

If the downward velocity is increasing, its acceleration is also increasing

T = m(a-g) < mg

(f) The elevator is stationary and remains at rest.

if the elevator is at rest, its acceleration is zero

T = m(0+g) = mg
