An 8.00 kg point mass and a 15.0 kg point mass are held in place 50.0 cm apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point be

tween the two masses 20.0 cm from the 8.00 kg mass along the line connecting the two fixed masses.
Find the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle. Answer from book: 2.2 x 10^-9 m/s^2 - toward the 8.00 kg mass....

Answer:a=2.23\times 10^{-9} m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Mass of first Point mass m_1=8 kg

Mass of second Point m_2=15 kg

distance between them d=50 cm

third point mass m_3=m

Distance between m\ and\ m_1 is\ 20 cm

Distance between  m\ and\ m_2 is 30 cm

Force Due to m_1\ and\ m F_1=\frac{Gmm_1}{d_1^2}

F_1=\frac{8Gm}{(0.2)^2}

F_1=200 mG

F_2=m\frac{Gmm_2}{d_2^2}

F_1=m\frac{15Gm}{(0.3)^2}

F_2=166.67 mG

Net Force

F_{net}=F_1-F_2

=200 mG-166.67 mG

=33.33 mG

F_{net}=222.33\times 10^{-11} N

F_{net}=2.23m\times 10^{-9} N

acceleration a=\frac{2.23m\times 10^{-9}}{m}

a=2.23\times 10^{-9} m/s^2

towards 8 kg mass

This mathematical model describes the changes that occur in a sample of
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

the correct answer is B

Explanation:

The kinetic model of the movement describes that the movement of the molecules increases with the increase of their internal energy, which in a macroscopic sample is reflected in an increase in the temperature of the sample.

The sample graph shows the function of temperature over time, which is why our kinetic model establishes that there is an increase in the movement of water molecules.

Consequently the correct answer is B

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge

The time period T of a simple pendulum is given by the relation
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

T^2 \propto L

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

From this equation we can write

T\propto \sqrt{L}\\T\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{g}}

Taking the square of this equation, we get:

T^2 = (2\pi)^2 \frac{L}{g}

So we see that T^2 is proportional to L and inversely proportional to g. So, we can write:

T^2 \propto L\\T^2 \propto \frac{1}{g}

So the only correct option is

T^2 \propto L
