Q = magnitude of charge at each of the three locations A, B and C = 2 x 10⁻⁶ C
r₁ = distance of charge at origin from charge at B = 50 - 0 = 50 cm = 0.50 m
r₂ = distance of charge at origin from charge at C = 100 - 0 = 100 cm = 1 m
F₁ = magnitude of force by charge at B on charge at origin
F₂ = magnitude of force by charge at C on charge at origin
Magnitude of force by charge at B on charge at origin
inserting the values
F₁ = 0.144 N
Magnitude of force by charge at C on charge at origin
inserting the values
F₂ = 0.036 N
Net force on the charge at the origin is given as
F = F₁ + F₂
F = 0.144 + 0.036
F = 0.18 N
from the diagram , direction of net force is towards left or negative x-direction.
The car is moving with velocity 1m/s
This is because of conservation of linear momentum.
The distance the lower spring is stretched from its equilibrium length is 45cm because the weight is 3x as much as the reference spring and the spring constant is the same.
<span>2) The force the bottom spring exerts on the mass is its weight (=mg) PLUS 10.8kg x 3.8m/s^2 = 133N </span>
<span>3) The distance the upper spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 15cm </span>
<span>4) Rank the distances the springs are extended from their unstretched lengths: </span>
<span>c) x1 < x2 < x3 </span>
<span>5) The distance the MIDDLE spring is extended from its unstretched length when not accelerated is 45cm </span>
<span>6) Finally, the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -3.4 m/s and also accelerating downward at an acceleration of a = -2.1 m/s2. </span>
<span>a)speeding up </span>
<span>because the v and a are in the same direction</span>
Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.
Explanation:
The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.
Mathematically
If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.
If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.
