An 80 kilogram skier slides on waxed skis along a horizontal surface of snow at a constant velocity while pushing with his poles

. What is the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward?

From Newton's First law, if velocity is constant than the net force on the body is zero; or net force in horizontal direction is zero and net force in vertical direction is also zero.

If we assume that the there is negligible friction between waxed skies and snow, than there will be no frictional force on skies in horizontal direction and as net force in horizontal direction is zero, hence the horizontal component of the force pushing him forward is also zero.

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

q / q_{1} = 2, assuming that q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) are point charges.

Explanation:

Let k denote the coulomb constant. Let r denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither k and r depend on the value of q_{1}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between q_{1} and (q - q_{1}) would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}.

Find the first and second derivative of F with respect to q_{1}. (Note that 0 < q_{1} < q.)

First derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}.

Second derivative:

\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

The value of the coulomb constant k is greater than 0. Thus, the value of the second derivative of F with respect to q_{1} would be negative for all real r. F\! would be convex over all q_{1}.

By the convexity of \! F with respect to \! q_{1} \!, there would be a unique q_{1} that globally maximizes F. The first derivative of F\! with respect to q_{1}\! should be 0 for that particular \! q_{1}. In other words:

\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0<em>.</em>

2\, q_{1} = q.

q_{1} = q / 2.

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}.

A tennis ball is a hollow sphere with a thin wall. It is set rolling without slipping at 4.03 m/s on the horizontal section of a
seraphim [82]

Answer:

2.38 m/s, 4.31 m/s, lower

Explanation:

a)

Initial energy = final energy

½ m v₀² + ½ I ω₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ½ I ω₁²

Since the ball is rolling without slipping, ω = v / r.

For a hollow sphere, I = ⅔ m r².

½ m v₀² + ½ (⅔ m r²) (v₀ / r)² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ½ (⅔ m r²) (v₁ / r)²

½ m v₀² + ⅓ m v₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁² + ⅓ m v₁²

⅚ m v₀² = mgh + ⅚ m v₁²

⅚ v₀² = gh + ⅚ v₁²

v₀² = 1.2gh + v₁²

v₁ = √(v₀² − 1.2gh)

Given v₀ = 4.03 m/s, g = 9.80 m/s, h = 0.900 m:

v₁ = √((4.03)² − 1.2 (9.80) (0.900))

v₁ ≈ 2.38 m/s

At the top of the loop, the sum of the forces in the radial direction is:

∑F = ma

W + N = m v² / R

N = m v² / R - mg

N = m (v² / R - g)

Given v = 2.38 m/s, R = 0.450 m, and g = 9.80 m/s²:

N = m ((2.38)² / 0.450 - 9.80)

N = 2.77m

N ≥ 0, so the ball stays on the track.

b)

Initial energy = final energy

Borrowing from part a):

v₂ = √(v₀² − 1.2gh)

This time, h = -0.200 m:

v₂ = √((4.03)² − 1.2 (9.80) (-0.200))

v₂ ≈ 4.31 m/s

c)

Without the rotational energy:

½ m v₀² = mgh + ½ m v₁²

½ v₀² = gh + ½ v₁²

v₀² = 2gh + v₁²

v₁ = √(v₀² - 2gh)

This is less than v₁ we calculated earlier.

The velocity of the transverse waves produced by an earthquake is 5.05 km/s, while that of the longitudinal waves is 8.585 km/s.
sattari [20]

Answer:

d=691.71km

Explanation:

The time lag between the arrival of transverse waves and the arrival of the longitudinal waves is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{v_t}-\frac{d}{v_l}

Here d is the distance at which the earthquake take place and v_t, v_l is the velocity of the transverse waves and longitudinal waves respectively. Solving for d:

t=d(\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l})\\d=\frac{t}{\frac{1}{v_t}-\frac{1}{v_l}}\\d=\frac{56.4s}{\frac{1}{5.05\frac{km}{s}}-\frac{1}{8.585\frac{km}{s}}}\\d=691.71km

Do you think there might be a point in space between Earth and the Moon where the gravity of each would pull on an object equall
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Assuming Earth and Moon are isolated is space, it is possible to have a point where Earth and Moon will pull at an object with equal force.

That point will be closer to the Moon than the Earth because Moon's gravitational field strength is weaker than Earth's gravitational field strength.
