How does a bed exert force on you

1 answer:

8 0

For every force, there is an equal and opposite reactionary force.

So when your weight acts on the bed, in order for the bed to not collapse, it must be able to exert an equal and opposite force back on you.

Two point charges, q1 = 2.0 × 10−7 C and q2 = −6.0 × 10−8 C, are held 25.0 cm apart. (a) What is the electric field at a point 5

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

a) $432000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}$

b) $-6.92\times10^{-14}N\hat{i}$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field generated by a charged particle at a distance r is:

$E= k\frac{|Q|}{r^{2}}$

With Q the charge of the particle and k the constant ()

So, the electric field generated by q1 knowing that the point 5.0 cm apart the negative charge is $25.0cm-5.0cm=20.0 cm=0.2m$ apart the positive charge is:

$E_1= k\frac{|q1|}{r_1^{2}} =(9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}})\frac{|2.0\times10^{-7}|}{(0.2)^{2}}$

$E_1= 45000\frac{N}{C}$

and the electric field generated by q2:

$E_2= k\frac{|q2|}{r_2^{2}} =(9.0\times10^{9}\,\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}})\frac{|-6.0\times10^{-8}|}{(0.05)^{2}}$

$E_2=216000\frac{N}{C}$

Those are the magnitudes of the electric field, but electric field is a vector quantity, so the direction is important. Electric field generated by negative particles points towards the charge and electric field generated by positive particles points away the particle. So, if we define positive direction towards negative particle (x-axis):

$\overrightarrow{E_2}=+216000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}$

$\overrightarrow{E_1}= +45000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}$

Vector quantities satisfy superposition principle, this is $\overrightarrow{E}=\overrightarrow{E_1}+\overrightarrow{E_2}$ , with E the total electric field.

$\overrightarrow{E}=(216000+45000)\hat{i}=432000\frac{N}{C}\hat{i}$

b) The force is:

$\overrightarrow{F}=e*\overrightarrow{E}$ ,

with q the charge of an electron

$\overrightarrow{F}=(-1.61\times10^{-19})*(432000)\hat{i}=-6.92\times10^{-14}N\hat{i}$

How does the kinetic energy of particles vary with temperature

Bezzdna [24]

When the average kinetic energy of the molecules go up ( a rise in temperature) the average speed of the molecules increases, the molecules now on average have more kinetic energy .

The Moon orbits the Earth in an approximately circular path. The position of the moon as a function of time is given by: x(t) =

Aleks [24]

Answer: Average Velocity = - 643.42 i + 512.66 j m/s

Magnitude = 822.7 m/s

Direction = 141.45°

Explanation:

r = 3.84 x 10^8 m

w = 2.46 x 10^-6 rad/s

Formula for Average velocity = displacement / time

at t = 0

x(0) = r

y(0) = 0

at t = 8.45 days

= 8.45 x 24 x 3600 s =730080 sec

w t = 2.46 x 10^-6 x 730080 = 1.80 rad Or 102.90°

xf = r cos(w t) = - 0.2233r

yf = r sin(w t) = 0.9747r

Displacement = (xf - x0)i + (yf - y0)j = -1.2233r i + 0.9747r j

<v> = dispalcement / t = (-1.2233r i + 0.9747r j ) / (730080 s )

= - 643.42 i + 512.66 j m/s

Magnitude

= sqrt(643.42^2 + 512.66^2)

= 822.7 m/s

Direction

= 180 - tan^-1(512.66 / 643.42)

= 141.45°

Answer:

B. fjords

explanation :

Fjords were created by glaciers. In the Earth's last ice age, glaciers covered just about everything. Glaciers move very slowly over time, and can greatly alter the landscape once they have moved through an area. This process is called glaciation.The fjords are one of the glaciers that existed in the past. They are one of the many glacial relief forms that can give us a insight into the size and power of the glaciers.

A girl attempts to drink a large glass of water without stopping. when she finishes, she gasps for air as she was unable to brea

katrin [286]

The behaviour that has just been displayed by the girl is an example of a learned behavior.

<h3>What is learned behaviour?</h3>

The term learned behaviour has to do with those behaviour that the individual acquires by practise and are not innate in the organism. The ability to drink a large amount of water without breathing is not inate in man.

Hence, the behaviour that has just been displayed by the girl is an example of a learned behavior.
