You venture out on a cold winter morning to warm up your vehicle. You have layers of cotton/polyester blend clothes on and from

walking on carpeting you have accumulated a net negative charge. Your car is considered a neutral conductor. As you place your hand near the door handle (without touching it) what happens to the charges of your car?
A. There is a localization of positive charge near the door handle.
B. Nothing, since your hand is not touching the car it cannot transfer any charge.
C. Nothing, the charges are too cold to deliver any response.
D. There is a localization of negative charge near the door handle.

Answer:

A. There is a localization of positive charge near the door handle.

Explanation:

When on a cold morning a person wearing cotton/ polyester cloth walking on the carpet moves toward his car then due to friction between the feet and the carpet there are transfer of electrons from the carpet to our feet, and since our body is a good conductor of electricity the charges spread throughout on the surface of or body.

When the person brings his hands close to the neutral conducting door of the car it gets induced with equal intensity of opposite charge to our hands thus having a concentration of positive charges near to the hand on the car's door is developed as a result of polarization within the conductor.

A car traveling at 23 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?

kykrilka [37]

We could determine the acceleration using this formula
$\boxed{a= \dfrac{v_{1}-v_{0}}{t} }$

Given from the question v₀ = 23 m/s, v₁ = 0 (the car stops), t = 5 s
plug in the numbers
$a= \dfrac{v_{1}-v_{0}}{t}$
$a= \dfrac{0-23}{5}$
$a= \dfrac{-23}{5}$
a = -4.6
The acceleration is -4.6 m/s²

Three forces act on a moving object. One force has a magnitude of 83.7 N and is directed due north. Another has a magnitude of 5

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

$|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N$

$\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''$

Explanation:

For an object to move with constant velocity, the acceleration of the object must be zero:

$\vec{a} = \vec{0}$ .

As the net force equals acceleration multiplied by mass , this must mean:

$\vec{F}_{net} = m \vec{a} = m * \vec{0} = \vec{0}$ .

So, the sum of the three forces must be zero:

$\vec{F}_1 + \vec{F}_2 + \vec{F}_3 = \vec{0}$ ,

this implies:

$\vec{F}_3 = - \vec{F}_1 - \vec{F}_2$ .

To obtain this sum, its easier to work in Cartesian representation.

First we need to define an Frame of reference. Lets put the x axis unit vector $\hat{i}$ pointing east, with the y axis unit vector $\hat{j}$ pointing south, so the positive angle is south of east. For this, we got for the first force:

$\vec{F}_1 = 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j})$ ,

as is pointing north, and for the second force:

$\vec{F}_2 = 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})$ ,

as is pointing west.

Now, our third force will be:

$\vec{F}_3 = - 83.7 \ N \ (-\hat{j}) - 59.9 \ N \ (-\hat{i})$

$\vec{F}_3 = 83.7 \ N \ \hat{j} + 59.9 \ N \ \hat{i}$

$\vec{F}_3 = (59.9 \ N , 83.7 \ N )$

But, we need the magnitude and the direction.

To find the magnitude, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

$|\vec{R}| = \sqrt{R_x^2 + R_y^2}$

$|\vec{F}_3| = \sqrt{(59.9 \ N)^2 + (83.7 \ N)^2}$

$|\vec{F}_3| = 102.92 \ N$

this is the magnitude.

To find the direction, we can use:

$\theta = arctan(\frac{F_{3_y}}{F_{3_x}})$

$\theta = arctan(\frac{83.7 \ N }{ 59.9 \ N })$

$\theta = 57 \° 24 ' 48''$

and this is the angle south of east.
