A small piece of dust of mass m = 4.1 µg travels through an electric air cleaner in which the electric field is 466 N/C. The ele

ctric force on the dust particle is equal to the weight of the particle.
(a) What is the charge on the dust particle?
C

(b) If this charge is provided by an excess of electrons, how many electrons does that correspond to?
electrons

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 4.1 x 10^-6 g

Electric field, E = 466 N/C

Electric force = weight

(a) Electric force = q x E = m x g

where, q be the charge on the dust particle.

q x 466 = 4.1 x 10^-6 x 9.8

q = 8.62 x 10^-8 C

(b) Number of electron  = charge / charge of one electron

n = 8.62 x 10^-8 / (1.6 x 10^-19)

n = 5.4 x 10^11

4) A racing car undergoing constant acceleration covers 140 m in 3.6 s. (a) If it’s moving at 53 m/s at the end of this interval
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer

given,

distance = 140 m

time, t = 3.6 s

moving speed = 53 m/s

a) distance = (average velocity) x time

    D = \dfrac{v_0 + v_1}{2}\times t

    140 = \dfrac{v_0 + 53}{2}\times 3.6

       v₀ + 53 = 77.78

        v₀ = 24.78 m/s or 25 m/s

b) a = \dfrac{v-u}{t}

   a = \dfrac{53-25}{3.6}

         a = 7.8 m/s²

using equation of motion

  v₀² = v₁² + 2 a s

  53² = 0²+ 2 x 7.8 x s

  s = 180 m

N 1800kg car has an<br> of 3.8m/s? What is it<br> on the car?<br> acceleration<br> force acting
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6840 N

Explanation:

The force acting on the car can be found by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the car

m is the mass of the car

a is its acceleration

For the car in this problem,

m = 1800 kg

a=3.8 m/s^2

Substituting,

F=(1800)(3.8)=6840 N

An object has an acceleration of 6.0 m/s/s. If the net force was doubled and the mass was one-third the original value, then the
alexandr402 [8]

Hahahahaha. Okay.

So basically , force is equal to mass into acceleration.

F=ma

so when F=ma , we get acceleration=6m/s/s

Force is doubled.

Mass is 1/3 times original.

2F=1/3ma

Now , we rearrange , and we get 6F=ma

So , now for 6 times the original force , we get 6 times the initial acceleration.

So new acceleration = 6*6= 36m/s/s

The parachute on a drag racing car deploys at the end of a run. If the car has a mass of 820 kg and the car is moving 36 m/s, wh
Lelechka [254]

In order to determine the required force to stop the car, proceed as follow:

Calculate the deceleration of the car, by using the following formula:

v^2=v^2_o-2ax

where,

v: final speed = 0m/s (the car stops)

vo: initial speed = 36m/s

x: distance traveled = 980m

a: deceleration of the car= ?

Solve the equation above for a, replace the values of the other parameters and simplify:

\begin{gathered} a=\frac{v^2_o-v^2}{2x} \\ a=\frac{(36\frac{m}{s})^2-(0\frac{m}{s})^2}{2(980m)}=0.66\frac{m}{s^2} \end{gathered}

Next, consider that the formula for the force is:

F=ma

where,

m: mass of the car = 820 kg

a: deceleration of the car = 0.66m/s^2

Replace the previous values and simplify:

F=(820kg)(0.66\frac{m}{s^2})=542.20N

Hence, the required force to stop the car is 542.20N

wel

Answer:

Normal force = 8.75 N

Explanation:

given,

frictional force between the steel spatula and the Teflon frying pan=0.350 N

coefficient of friction between material =0.04

normal force = ?

using formula,

Frictional force = coefficient of friction × normal force

normal\ force = \dfrac{Frictional\ force}{coefficient\ of\ friction}

normal\ force = \dfrac{0.350}{0.04}

Normal force = 8.75 N
