inside a space shuttle there are two identical boxes, but different content: one containts metal tools and the other foam for in

sulation. How can the astronaut know which is the one with the tools without opening it?

Use a metal detector ;)

A charge q1 = +5.00 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge q2 = -2.00 nC is placed on the positive

Answer:

a

The x- and y-components of the total force exerted is

$F_{31 +32} = (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}$

b

The magnitude of the force is

$|F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N$

The direction of the force is

$\theta =327.43 ^o$ Clockwise from x-axis

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the first charge is $q_1 = +5.00nC = 5.00*10^{-9}C$

The magnitude of the second charge is $q_2 = -2.00nC = -2.00*10^{-9}C$

The position of the second charge from the first one is $d_{12} = 4.00i \ cm = \frac{4.00i}{100} = 4.00i *10^{-2} m$

The magnitude of the third charge is $q_3 = +6.00nC = 6.00*10^{-9}C$

The position of the third charge from the first one is $\= d_{31} = (4i + 3j) cm = \frac{ (4i + 3j)}{100} = (4i + 3j) *10^{-2}m$

$|d_{31}| =(\sqrt{4 ^2 + 3^2}) *10^{-2} m$

$|d_{31}| =5 *10^{-2} m$

The position of the third charge from the second one is

$\= d_{32} = 3j cm = 3j *10^{-2}m$

$|d_{32}| =(\sqrt{ 3^2}) *10^{-2} m$

$|d_{32}| =3 *10^{-2} m$

The force acting on the third charge due to the first and second charge is mathematically represented as

$F_{31 +32} = \frac{kq_3 q_1}{|d_{31}| ^3} *\= d_{31} + \frac{kq_3 q_2}{|d_{32}| ^3} *\= d_{32}$

Substituting values

$F_{31 +32} = \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * 5*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3} * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2} \\ \ + \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{9 *10^9 * 6 *10^{-9} * -2*10^{-9} }{(5*10^{-2}) ^3} * (4i + 3j ) *10^{-2}$

$F_{31 +32} = 2.16 *10^{-5} (4i + 3j) - 12*10^{-5} j$

$F_{31 +32} = (8.64i - 5.52 j) *10^{-5}$

The magnitude of $F_{31 +32}$ is mathematically evaluated as

$|F_{31 +32}| = \sqrt{(8.64^2 + 5.52 ^2) } *10^{-5}$

$|F_{31 +32}| = 10.25 *10^{-5} N$

The direction is obtained as

$tan \theta = \frac{-5.52 *10^{-5}}{8.64 *10^{-5}}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [-0.63889]$

$\theta = - 32.57 ^o$

$\theta = 360 - 32.57$

$\theta =327.43 ^o$

A ball of mass 0.35 kg hangs straight down on a string of length 13 cm. It is then swung upward, keeping the string taut, until

Anni [7]

Answer:

PE=0.29J

Explanation:

According to the description, there is a angle and in point swung upward of 70°

So,

$Y=13*10^{-2}*cos(70) \\Y=0.0444m$

Appling the equation of Potential Energy we have,

$PE=mgh\\PE=(0.35)(9.8)(0.13-0.0444)\\PE=0.29J$
