a) c = 1.85

b) c = 0.8

c) c = 2.33

Explanation:

a)

The displacement of the particle is given by

$d=2.2i+cj$

While the force applied on the particle is

$F=3.2i-3.8 j$

So we have a problem in 2-dimensions.

The work done on the particle is given by the scalar product between force and displacement:

$W=F\cdot d$ (1)

Here the work done on the particle is zero, so

W = 0

Therefore from eq(1) we find:

$0=(3.2i-3.8j)\cdot (2.2i+cj)=7.04-3.8c\\3.8c=7.04\\c=\frac{7.04}{3.8}=1.85$

b)

In this problem, the work done on the particle is

$W=4.0 J$

The force and displacement are still

$d=2.2i+cj$ (displacement)

$F=3.2i-3.8 j$ (force)

Therefore, by calculting the scalar product between force and displacement and equating it to the work done (4.0 J), we find:

$W=F\cdot d$

$4.0 =(3.2i-3.8j)\cdot (2.2i+cj)=7.04-3.8c\\3.8c=3.04\\c=\frac{3.04}{3.8}=0.8$

c)

In this problem instead, the work done on the particle is negative:

$W=-1.8 J$

As before, the force and displacement are

$d=2.2i+cj$ (displacement)

$F=3.2i-3.8 j$ (force)

And so again, we calculate the scalar product between force and displacement and we equate it to the work done on the particle, -1.8 J.

Doing so, we find:

$W=F\cdot d$

$-1.8=(3.2i-3.8j)\cdot (2.2i+c)=7.04-3.8c\\3.8c=8.84\\c=\frac{8.84}{3.8}=2.33$

What is the change in position relative to a reference point?

djyliett [7]

Explanation:

A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion. An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point

A stone is thrown horizontally from the top of a cliff and eventually hits the ground below. A second stone is dropped from rest

xeze [42]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the question:

When the stone is thrown from the cliff top and hits the ground below eventually:

R = $v_{o}\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

where

$v_{o}$ = initial velocity

H = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

R = horizontal Range

Now,

(a) Displacement of the stone is given by the horizontal range:

R = $v_{o}\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}$

where

$v_{o}$ = initial velocity

H = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

R = horizontal Range

(b) Speed just prior to the impact is given by the third equation of motion:

$v = \sqrt{v_{o}^{2} + 2gH}$

where

v = final velocity

(c) Time of flight is given by the second eqn of motion where the initial velocity is considered to be 0 then:

$H = v_{o}T + \frac{1}{2}gT^{2}$

$H = 0.T + \frac{1}{2}gT^{2}$

T = $\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}$

A can of sardines is made to move along an x axis from x = 0.47 m to x = 1.20 m by a force with a magnitude given by F = exp(–8x

sattari [20]

If the force were constant or increasing, we could guess that the speed of the sardines is increasing. Since the force is decreasing but staying in contact with the can, we know that the can is slowing down, so there must be friction involved.
Work is the integral of (force x distance) over the distance, which is just the area under the distance/force graph.
The integral of exp(-8x) dx that we need is (-1/8)exp(-8x) evaluated from 0.47 to 1.20 .

I get 0.00291 of a Joule ... seems like a very suspicious solution, but for an exponential integral at a cost of 5 measly points, what can you expect. On the other hand, it's not really too unreasonable. The force is only 0.023 Newton at the beginning, and 0.000067 newton at the end, and the distance is only about 0.7 meter, so there certainly isn't a lot of work going on. The main question we're left with after all of this is: Why sardines ? ?

A parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a dielectric slab with κ = 1.5 inserted between the plates. The area of each plat

maksim [4K]

Answer:

The value is $V = 4.533 \ V$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The dielectric constant is k = 1.5

The area of each plate is $A = 5 \ cm^2 = 0.0005 m^2$

The distance between the plates is $d= 1 \ mm = 0.001 \ m$

The charge on the capacitor is $Q = 6*10^{-11} \ C$

Generally the electric field in a vacuum is mathematically represented as

$E_o = \frac{V_o}{d}$

Generally $V_o$ is the voltage of the capacitor which is mathematically represented as

$V_o = \frac{Q}{C_o}$

Here $C_o$ is the capacitance of the capacitor in a vacuum which is mathematically represented as

$C_o = \frac{\epsilon_o * A}{d}$

Here $epsilon_o$ is a constant with value $epsilon_o= 8.85*10^{-12} C^2 \cdot N^{-1} \cdot m^{-2}$

=> $C_o = \frac{8.85*10^{-12} * 0.0005 }{0.001}$

=> $C_o = 4.425 *10^{-12} \ F$

So

$V_o = \frac{6*10^{-11} }{ 4.425 *10^{-12}}$

$V_o = 13.6 \ V$

So

$E_o = \frac{ 13.6}{0.001}$

=> $E_o = 13600 \ V/m$

The electric field when the dielectric slab is inserted is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{E_o}{k}$

=> $E = \frac{13600}{1.5}$

=> $E =9067 \ V/m$

Generally the electric field between the plates is mathematically evaluated as

$E_{N} = E_o - E$

=> $E_{N} = 13600- 9067$

=> $E_{N} = 4533 \ V/m$

Generally the potential difference between the plates is

$V = 4533 * 0.001$

=> $V = 4.533 \ V$
