Answer:

a. There are three potential energy interaction. b. 2.16 m/s c. 2.16 m/s d. 0 m/s

Explanation:

a. There are three potential energy interaction.

Let the charges be q₁ = +40 nC, q₂ = +250 nC and q₃ = + 40 nC and the distances between them be q₁ and q₂ is r, the distance between q₂ and q₃ is r  and the distance between q₁ and q₃ is  r₁ = 2r respectively. So, the potential energies are

U₁ = kq₁q₂/r, U₂ = kq₁q₃/2r and U₃ = kq₂q₃/r

U = U₁ + U₂ + U₃ = kq₁q₂/r +  kq₁q₃/2r + kq₂q₃/r (q₁ = q₃ = q and q₂ = Q)

U = kqQ/r +  kq²/2r + kqQ/r = qk/r(2Q + q/2)

b. To calculate the final speed of the left 2.0 g button, the potential energy = kinetic energy change of the particle.

ΔU = -ΔK

0 - qk(2Q + q/2)/r = -(1/2mv² - 0). Since the final potential at infinity equals zero and the initial kinetic energy is zero.

So qk(2Q + q/2)/r = -1/2mv²

v = √[2qk(2Q + q/2)/mr] where m = 2.0 g r = 2.0 cm

substituting the values for the variables,

v = √[2 × 40 × 10⁻⁹ × 9 × 10⁹(2 × 250 × 10⁻⁹ + 40 × 10⁻⁹/2)/2 × 10⁻³ × 2 × 10⁻²]

v = √[360(500 × 10⁻⁹ + 20 × 10⁻⁹)/2 × 10⁻⁵]

v = √[720(520 × 10⁻⁹)/4 × 10⁻⁵] = 2.16 m/s

c. The final speed of the right 2.0 g button is also 2.16 m/s since we have the same potential energy in the system

d.

Since the net force on the 5.0 g mass is zero due to the mutual repulsion of the charges on the two 2.0 g masses, its acceleration a = 0. Since it starts from rests u = 0, its velocity v = u + at.

Hence,

v = u + at = 0 + 0t = 0 m/s

if the angular momentum of a rigid body is changing, does that mean that there must be a net torque acting on the body?
masha68 [24]

The attribute of any rotating object determined by the product of the moment of inertia and the angular velocity is known as angular momentum.

<h3>What is Angular Momentum?</h3>
  • Without a kickstand, attempting to balance while getting on a bicycle will definitely result in you falling off. However, these wheels gain angular momentum once you begin pedaling. They're going to be resistant to change, which will make balance simpler.
  • The definition of angular momentum is:  any rotating object's characteristic determined by moment of inertia times angular velocity.
  • It is a characteristic of rotating bodies determined by the sum of their moment of inertia and angular velocity. Since it is a vector quantity, the direction must also be taken into account in addition to the magnitude.
  • Angular Momentum Examples : We encounter this property frequently, whether knowingly or unknowingly.
  • The following provides some examples : Ice-skater
  • In order to begin a spin, an ice skater starts with her hands and legs spread widely from the center of her body. She moves her hands and leg closer to her body when she needs to spin with more angular velocity, though.
  • As a result, she conserves angular momentum and spins faster.

Two forces, one of 100 ponds and the other 150 pounds act on the same object, at angles of 20°and 60°, respectively, withthe pos
soldi70 [24.7K]
<h2>Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.</h2>

Explanation:

Forces are 100 pound and 150 pound and angles with x axis are 20°and 60°.

That is force 1 is 100 pound with x axis at 20°

           F₁ = 100 cos 20 i  +  100 sin 20 j

           F₁ = 93.97 i  +  34.20 j          

That is force 2 is 150 pound with x axis at 60°

           F₂ = 150 cos 60 i  +  150 sin 60 j

           F₂ = 75 i  +  129.90 j  

F₁ +  F₂ =  93.97 i  +  34.20 j + 75 i  +  129.90 j

F₁ +  F₂ =  168.97 i  +  164.10 j

\texttt{Magnitude = }\sqrt{168.97^2+164.10^2}\\\\\texttt{Magnitude = }235.54pounds\\\\\texttt{Angle = }tan^{-1}\left ( \frac{164.10}{168.97}\right )\\\\\texttt{Angle = }44.16^0

Resultant is 235.54 pounds at an angle 44.16° to X axis.
