poorly secured load falls off! Immediately after losing the load, the truck begins to accelerate at 1.5 m/s2. Part A What was the mass of the load? Ignore rolling friction.

Answer:

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

Explanation:

Step 1 : Data given

Mass of the truck = 7100 kg

Angle = 15°

velocity = 15m/s

Acceleration = 1.5 m/s²

Mass of truck = m1 kg

Mass of load = m2 kg

Thrust from engine = T

Step 2:

⇒ Before the load falls off, thrust (T) balances the component of total weight downhill:

T = (m1+m2)*g*sinθ

⇒ After the load falls off, thrust (T) remains the same but downhill component of weight becomes  m1*gsinθ .

Resultant force on truck is F = T – m1*gsinθ  

F causes the acceleration of the truck: F= m*a

This gives the equation:

T – m1*gsinθ = m1*a  

T = m1(a + gsinθ)

Combining both equations gives:

(m1+m2)*g*sinθ = m1*(a + gsinθ)

m1*g*sinθ + m2*g*sinθ =m1*a + m1*g*sinθ

m2*g*sinθ = m1*a

Since m1+m2 = 7100kg, m1= 7100 – m2. This we can plug into the previous equation:

m2*g*sinθ = (7100 – m2)*a

m2*g*sinθ = 7100a – m2a

m2*gsinθ + m2*a = 7100a

m2* (gsinθ + a) = 7100a

m2 = 7100a/(gsinθ  + a)

m2 = (7100 * 1.5) / (9.8sin(15°) + 1.5)

m2 = 2636.8 kg

The load has a mass of 2636.8 kg

An object with charge q = −6.00×10−9 C is placed in a region of uniform electric field and is released from rest at point A. Aft
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a) 80 V

b) The magnitude of the electric field is 100 N/C and the direction of the electric field is from point B to point A where the electric field is toward the negative charge

Explanation:

<u>Given :</u>

We are given an object with charge q = -6.00 x I0^-9 C starts moving from the rest at point A, which means its kinetic energy at point A is zero ( K_{A}= 0) to the point B at distance l = 0.500m where its kinetic energy is (  K_{B}= 5.00 x 10^-7J) . Also, the electric potential of q at point A is VA = + 30.0 v.

<u>Required :</u>

<em>(a) We are asked to find the electric potential VB </em>

<em>(b) We want to determine the magnitude and the direction of the electric field E. </em>

<u> Solution </u>

(a) We are given the values for VA,K_{B} and q so we want to find a relationship between these three parameters and VB to get the value of VB.

As we have two states, at points A and B , where the charge moved from A to B due to the applied electric field. The mechanical energy of the object is conservative during this travel, and we can apply eq(1) in this situation:

                                   K_{A} +U_{A} =K_{B} +U_{B} .........................................(1)                                          

Where K_{A}= 0 and the potential energy U of the charge is given by U = q V

where V is the electric potential.  So, equation (1) will be in the form :

                                  0+qVA=K_{B} +qVB                      (Divide by q)

                                         VA=K_{B} /q + VB                  (solve for VB)

                                         VB=VA- K_{B}/q .......................................(2)

We get the relation between VB, VA and K_{B}, now we can plug our values for VA, K_{B} and q into equation (2) to get VB

                                         VB=VA- K_{B}/q

                                              =30V-(5.00 x 10^-7J)/(-6.00 x I0^-9)

                                              =80 V

(b) After we calculated VB we can use equation a to get the electric field E that applied to the charge q, where the potential difference between the two points equals the integration of the electric field multiplied by the distance l between the two points

                                   VA-VB =\int\limits^1_0 {E} \, dl...................................(a)

                                               =E\int\limits^1_0 {} \, dl

                                   VA-VB=El                      (solve for E)

                                            E= VA-VB/l..................................(3)

Now let us plug our values for VA, Vs and l into equation (3) to get the electric field E

                                            E= VA-VB/l

                                              =-100 N/C

The magnitude of the electric field is 100 N/C and the direction of the electric field is from point B to point A where the electric field is toward the negative charge

A student walks 50 meters east, 40 meters north, 35 meters east, and then 20 m south. What is the magnitude and direction of the
Nuetrik [128]

Answer: A student walks 50 meters east, 40 meters north, 35 meters east, and then 20 m south. Then the magnitude and direction of the student's total displacement will be 87.32 m along the direction of AD or in east-south direction.

Explanation: To find the correct answer, we need to know about the Displacement of a body in motion.

<h3>What is displacement of a body in motion?</h3>
  • The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final positions of a body.
  • It's a vector quantity, and can positive, negative, or zero.
  • The magnitude of displacement is less than or equal to the distance travelled.
<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>
  • At first, we can draw a diagram showing the motion of the body.
  • From the diagram, the displacement of the body will be equal to the distance between point A and D.
  • To solve this, we can use Pythagoras theorem.

AD=AC+CD\\AC^{2} =50^{2} +11^2\\AC=51.19 m\\Similarly,\\CD^2=35^2+9^2\\CD=36.13 m\\thus, \\AD=51.19+36.13=87.32 m

Thus, from the above calculations, we can conclude that, the displacement of the body will be equal to 87.32 m along the direction of AD or in east-south direction.
