A train at a constant 60.0 km/h moves east for 40.0 min, then in a direction 50.0 degrees east of due north for 20.0 min, and th

en west for 50.0 min. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle for of its average velocity during this trip?

Answer:

Part a)

v = 7.57 km/h

Part b)

\theta = 67.5 degreeNorth of East

Explanation:

Speed of train towards East = 60 km/h

displacement towards East is given as

d_1 = 40 km

now it turns towards 50 degree East of North

so its distance is given as

d_2 = 20 km(sin50 \hat i + cos50\hat j)

d_2 = 15.3 \hat i + 12.8 \hat j

then finally it moves towards west for 50 min

d_3 = -50 \hat i

Now the total displacement of the train is given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = (40 + 15.3 - 50)\hat i + 12.8 \hat j

d = 5.3\hat i + 12.8 \hat j

now total time duration of the motion is given as

T = 40 min + 20 min + 50 min

T = 1.83 h

now average velocity is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{5.3\hat i + 12.8\hat j}{1.83}

v_{avg} = 2.89\hat i + 6.99\hat j

Part a)

magnitude of the average velocity is given as

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{2.89^2 + 6.99^2}

v = 7.57 km/h

Part b)

Direction of the velocity is given as

tan\theta = \frac{v_y}{v_x}

tan\theta = \frac{6.99}{2.89}

\theta = 67.5 degreeNorth of East

1. What did you observe about the magnitudes of the forces on the two charges? Were they the same or different? Does your answer
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

Its strength from both charges is equivalent or identical. The power is equal. And it is passed down

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

Therefore, the extent doesn't rely on the fact that charges are the same or different. Newton's third law complies with Electrostatic Charges due to a couple of charges. They are similar in magnitude, and they're in the other way.

|F_{12}| = |F_{21}|
