Two small spherical insulators separated by 2.5 cm, which is much greater than either of their diameters. Both carry positive ch

arge, one +60.0 microCoulombs and the other +6.66 microCoulombs. A third positive charge remains at rest between the two spheres and along the line joining them. What is the position of this charged sphere?

Answer:

The third charge is placed at a distance of 1.88 cm  from the centre of 60 micro coulombs charge to the right of it.

Explanation:

Given:

Distance between the centre of insulators=d=2.5 cm

Charge on insulator(1`)= 60 \rm \mu C

Charge on insulator(2`)= 6.66 \rm \mu C

Let third charge be placed at a distance of x xm from the centre of 60 \rm \mu C charge.

Now according to coulombs law the force between tow charges placed at distance r is given by

F=\dfrac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

  • where Q_1, Q_2 are the magnitude of the charges.
  • r is the radial distance between their centres.

Let magnitude of third charge be q and it placed at a distance of x from  higher magnitude charge. According to question the net force on third charge is zero so we have

\dfrac{kQ_1q}{x^2}-\dfrac{kQ_2q}{(d-x)^2}=0\\\dfrac{k\times 60 q}{x^2}-\dfrac{k6.66q}{(2.5-x)^2}=0\\\\x=0.75\times d\\\\x=0.75\times 2.5\\\\x=1.88\ \rm cm.

Hence the position of third charge is calculated in order to be rest.

Answer:

4611.58 ft/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s²

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 32.174\times 516+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=182.218\ ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-182.218^2}{2\times 3.6}\\\Rightarrow a=-4611.58\ ft/s^2

Magnitude of acceleration while stopping is 4611.58 ft/s²

An object moves with velocity v(t)=t^2-8t+7
solong [7]
<span>a) write a polynomial expression for the position of the particle at any time t greater or equal to zero. 
</span>Position is found by integrating velocity: 

<span>s(t) = (t^3)/3 - 4t^2 + 7t + c 
</span>where c is a constant corresponding to the position at t=0. <span>

b) at what time(s) is the particle changing direction
</span>the particle changes direction whenever the velocity is zero; the velocity function equals 

<span>(t-1)(t-7) a difference of squares so the zeros are 1 and 7, it changes direction at 1 second and 7 seconds. </span><span>

c) find the total distance traveled by the particle from t=0 and t=4
</span><span>s(0) = c
s(1) = 8/3 + c
s(4) = 64/3 - 64 + 28 + c. 
</span>
from 0 to 1 the particle travels 8/3 units. From 1 to 4 it travels -(64/3 - 36 - 8/3) = (-(56/3 - 108/3)) 
<span>=-(-52/3) = 52/3 units 
</span>
<span>so in total it travels 52/3 + 8/3 =20 units</span>

The work done in holding a 30kg of bricks to a height of 20m is
ella [17]
The work done to "HOLD" a load of bricks at any height is zero.
Work is done only when force acts through a DISTANCE.

The work done to LIFT 30 kg of anything to 20m higher than
it already is, is

(force) · (vertical distance)

= (mass) · (gravity) · (vertical distance)

= (30 kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (20 m)

= 5,880 joules

An object is in uniform circular motion, tracing an angel at 30 degrees every 0.010 seconds. What's the period of this motion an
Neko [114]
Here's the rule you need to know
in order to answer this question:

                     1 full circle ==> 360 degrees .

Got that ?

Now you could set up a proportion:

     (30 degrees) / (0.01 second)  =  (360 degrees) / (time for full period)

Cross-multiply the proportion:

     (30°) · (period)  =  (360°) · (0.01 sec)

Divide each side by (30°) :    Period = (360° · 0.01 sec) / (30°)

                                                     =  (3.6° · sec) / (30°)

                                                     =  (3.6 / 30)  sec

                                                     =      0.12  sec .
___________________________________

Another way to look at it:

30°        takes    0.01 second
60°        takes    0.02 second
90°        takes    0.03 second
120°      takes    0.04 second
150°      takes    0.05 second
180°      takes    0.06 second
210°      takes    0.07 second
240°      takes    0.08 second
270°      takes    0.09 second
300°      takes    0.10 second
330°      takes    0.11 second
360°      takes   0.12 second
