Near the surface of Earth an electric field points radially downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 N/C. What charge (

magnitude and sign) would have to be placed on a penny that has a mass of 3g to cause it to rise into the air with an upqard acceleration of 0.19 m/s^2

Answer:

q=2.997\times 10^{-4}C

Sign-Negative

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field =E=100NC^{-1} (Radially downward)

Acceleration=0.19 ms^{-2}(Upward)

Mass of charge=3 g=3\times 10^{-3}kg

1kg=1000g

We have to find the magnitude and sign of  charge would have to be placed on a penny .

By newton's second law

\sum F_y=ma

\sum F_y=qE-mg

Substitute the values then we get

qE-mg=ma

Substitute the values then we get

q(100)-3\times 10^{-3}(9.8)=3\times 10^{-3}(0.19)

100q-29.4\times 10^{-3}=0.57\times 10^{-3}

100q=0.57\times 10^{-3}+29.4\times 10^{-3}=29.97\times 10^{-3}

q=\frac{29.97\times 10^{-3}}{100}

q=2.997\times 10^{-4}C

Sign of charge =Negative

Because electric force acting  in opposite direction of electric field therefore,charge on penny will be negative.

Mary has a mass of 40 kg and sprints at 1 m/s. How much kinetic energy does she have?
Sav [38]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is given as half of the product of mass and the square of velocity of an object:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = mass = 40 kg

v = velocity = 1 m/s

Hence, Mary's kinetic energy is:

KE = \frac{1}{2} * 40 * 1^2

KE = 20 * 1 = 20 J

She has a kinetic energy of 20 J.

a spiral spring of natural length 10.0cm has a scale pan hanging freely in its tower ends . When an object of mass of 20g is pla
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

There seems to be a typo in the problem statement.  It says the spring stretches to a shorter length after more mass is added.  Please check the problem statement.  I'm going to do the calculations assuming that the first length should be 11.80 cm and the second length should be 12.05 cm.

Hooke's law states that the force needed to compress or extend a linear spring is:

F = kΔx, where k is the stiffness and Δx is the displacement.

When a 20g object is placed in the pan, the spring stretches to a length of 11.80 cm.  The force of the spring is counteracting the weight of both the pan and the object. Therefore:

(m + 0.020) g = k (0.1180 - 0.100)

And when another 30g object is placed in the pan, the spring stretches to a length of 12.05 cm.

(m + 0.020 + 0.030) g = k (0.1205 - 0.100)

We now have two equations and two variables.  If we divide the second equation by the first equation:

(m + 0.050) / (m + 0.020) = (0.1205 - 0.100) / (0.1180 - 0.100)

(m + 0.050) / (m + 0.020) = 0.02050 / 0.0180

0.0180 (m + 0.050) = 0.02050 (m + 0.020)

0.0180 m + 0.0009 = 0.02050 m + 0.00041

0.00049 = 0.0025 m

m = 0.196

The pan has a mass of 0.196 kg, or 196 g.

A research submarine has a 30-cm-diameter window that is 8.1 cm thick. The manufacturer says the window can withstand forces up
malfutka [58]

The pressure at a certain depth underwater is:

P = ρgh

P = pressure, ρ = sea water density, g = gravitational acceleration near Earth, h = depth

The pressure exerted on the submarine window is:

P = F/A

P = pressure, F = force, A = area

The area of the circular submarine window is:

A = π(d/2)²

A = area, d = diameter

Set the expressions for the pressure equal to each other:

F/A = ρgh

Substitute A:

F/(π(d/2)²) = ρgh

Isolate h:

h = F/(ρgπ(d/2)²)

Given values:

F = 1.1×10⁶N

ρ = 1030kg/m³ (pulled from a Google search)

g = 9.81m/s²

d = 30×10⁻²m

Plug in and solve for h:

h = 1.1×10⁶/(1030(9.81)π(30×10⁻²/2)²)

h = 1540m

Find the acceleration a body whose velocity increases from 11m/s to 33m/s in 10 seconds
solong [7]

Answer:

1.1 m/(s)^2

Explanation:

u=11 m/s

v=33 m/s

t=10s

v=u+at

=> 33=22+(a)(10)

=> 33-22=10a

=> 10a=11

=> a=11/10=1.1 m/(s)^2
