A car transports its passengers between 3 buildings. It moves from the first building to the second building, 4.76km away, in a

direction 37° north of east. It then moves from second building to the third building in a direction 69° west of north. Finally, it returns to the first building, sailing in a direction 28° east of south. Calculate the distance between (a) the second and third buildings and (b) the first and third buildings.​

Answer:

1) a = 6.14 km

2) b = 4.69 km

Explanation:

Let the first building be A, second building be B and third building be C.

Now, bearing of A = 4.76 km in a direction 37° north of east

Bearing of B = 69° west of north

Bearing of C = 28° east of south

Thus if this 3 points form a triangle, we will have the following angles;

Angle at point A = 28 + (90 - 37) = 81°

Angle at point B = 28 + (90 - 69) = 49°

Angle at point C = 180 - (81 + 49) = 50°

Now, the distance between second and third building is "a" which is represented by BC in the triangle attached while the given distance of 4.76 represents side AB. Thus;

Using sine rule, we can find "a".

a/sin 81 = 4.76/sin 50

a = 6.14 km

B) distance between first and third building is AB in the triangle depicted by "b".

Similar to the first problem, we will use sine rule again.

b/sin49 = 4.76/sin 50

b = 4.69 km

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Heat flows from hot to cold to lower the temperature of hot areas and increase temperature of cold areas. The end result is that the 2 areas have the same temperature, thus increasing entropy.

Two identical small metal spheres with q1 > 0 and |q1| > |q2| attract each other with a force of magnitude 72.1 mN when se
Brrunno [24]

1) +2.19\mu C

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

When the two spheres are brought in contact with each other, the charge equally redistribute among the two spheres, such that each sphere will have a charge of

\frac{Q}{2}

where Q is the total charge between the two spheres.

So we can actually rewrite the force as

F=k\frac{(\frac{Q}{2})^2}{r^2}

And since we know that

r = 1.41 m (distance between the spheres)

F= 21.63 mN = 0.02163 N

(the sign is positive since the charges repel each other)

We can solve the equation for Q:

Q=2\sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{k}}=2\sqrt{\frac{(0.02163)(1.41)^2}{8.98755\cdot 10^9}}}=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C

So, the final charge on the sphere on the right is

\frac{Q}{2}=\frac{4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C}{2}=2.19\cdot 10^{-6}C=+2.19\mu C

2) q_1 = +6.70 \mu C

Now we know the total charge initially on the two spheres. Moreover, at the beginning we know that

F = -72.1 mN = -0.0721 N (we put a negative sign since the force is attractive, which means that the charges have opposite signs)

r = 1.41 m is the separation between the charges

And also,

q_2 = Q-q_1

So we can rewrite eq.(1) as

F=k \frac{q_1 (Q-q_1)}{r^2}

Solving for q1,

Fr^2=k (q_1 Q-q_1^2})\\kq_1^2 -kQ q_1 +Fr^2 = 0

Since Q=4.37\cdot 10^{-6} C, we can substituting all numbers into the equation:

8.98755\cdot 10^9 q_1^2 -3.93\cdot 10^4 q_1 -0.141 = 0

which gives two solutions:

q_1 = 6.70\cdot 10^{-6} C\\q_2 = -2.34\cdot 10^{-6} C

Which correspond to the values of the two charges. Therefore, the initial charge q1 on the first sphere is

q_1 = +6.70 \mu C
