A charge -353e is uniformly distributed along a circular arc of radius 5.30 cm, which subtends an angle of 48°. What is the line
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

- 1.3 x 10⁻¹⁵ C/m

Explanation:

Q = Total charge on the circular arc = - 353 e = - 353 (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) C = - 564.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

r = Radius of the arc = 5.30 cm = 0.053 m

θ = Angle subtended by the arc = 48° deg = 48 x 0.0175 rad = 0.84 rad        (Since 1 deg = 0.0175 rad)

L = length of the arc

length of the arc is given as

L = r θ

L = (0.053) (0.84)

L = 0.045 m

λ = Linear charge density

Linear charge density is given as

\lambda =\frac{Q}{L}

Inserting the values

\lambda =\frac{-564.8\times 10^{-19}}{0.045}

λ = - 1.3 x 10⁻¹⁵ C/m

4. A family leaves from New York City and is flying to Los Angles which is 2800mi away. It takes
Blizzard [7]

The average speed of the whole travel is equal to <u>400 mph</u>.

Why?

From the statement, we know that whole travel is divided into three parts. For the first part (traveling from New York to Chicago), we have that it was 3.25 hours and the covered distance was half of the total distance (1400mi). For the second part, we have that it was 1 hour (layover time), and the covered no distance. For the third part (traveling from Chicago to Los Angeles), we have that it was 2.75 hours, and it took the other half of the total distance (1400mi).

We can calculate the average speed of the whol travel using the following formula:

AverageSpeed=\frac{distance_{1}+distance_{2}+distance_{3}}{time_{1}+time{2}+time_{3}}

Now, substituting and calculating, we have:

AverageSpeed=\frac{1400mi+0mi+1400mi}{3.25h+1h+2.75h}

AverageSpeed=\frac{2800mi}{7h}=400mph

Hence, we have the average speed of the whole travel is equal to 400 mph.

Have a nice day!

An object is thrown directly upwards from the ground at a velocity of 9ms. Recalling that the acceleration due to gravity is −gm
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Object is thrown with a velocity of u=9\ m/s

Acceleration due to gravity is -g (i.e. acting downward)

Vertical distance traveled by object is given by

v^2-u^2=2as  

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

at maximum height final velocity is zero

0-(9)^2=2\times (-g)\times (s)

s=\frac{81}{2g}=\frac{40.5}{g}\ m

time taken to reach maximum height

using

v=u+at

0=9-gt

t=\frac{9}{g}\ s

A chair of mass 15.0 kg is sitting on the horizontal floor; the floor is not frictionless. You push on the chair with a force of
Neko [114]

Answer: 185.5672566

Explanation:  The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.
