Answer:

B. the force of on the truck due to the collision is exactly equal to the force on the car.

Explanation:

At the time of collision between two objects of unequal or equal masses two forces emerge at the point of collision .They are called action and reaction force . According to third law of Newton , they are equal . So in the instant case of collision between car and truck , force on both of them will be equal.

What help in reversing direction of current of current

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

<em>To reverse the direction of an electric current, we simply reverse the voltage either automatically with the help of some switching circuitry or manually by changing the voltage source terminals connection. </em>

Explanation:

For electric current to flow, there must be a potential difference, usually referred to as the voltage. The electric current flow is analogous to the flow of water under the action of a pump, through a series of pipe connections. The voltage is similar to the driving action of the pump, and current flows the same way water flows. The resistance due to drag on the pipe wall is equivalent to electric resistance. For current to flow in the reverse direction, the voltage or rather, the potential difference is changed, causing the current to flow in the opposite direction. This can be done by switching the terminals of the voltage source, or by automatic means. The automatic switching can be done with a transistor based circuitry.

Find the time t2 that it would take the charge of the capacitor to reach 99.99% of its maximum value given that r=12.0ω and c=50

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

R = 12 ohms

C = 500μf.

Time t =? When the charge reaches 99.99% of maximum

The charge on a RC circuit is given as

A discharging circuit

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

Where RC is the time constant

τ = RC = 12 × 500 ×10^-6

τ = 0.006 sec

The maximum charge is Qo,

Therefore Q = 99.99% of Qo

Then, Q = 99.99/100 × Qo

Q = 0.9999Qo

So, substituting this into the equation above

Q = Qo•exp(-t/RC)

0.9999Qo = Qo•exp(-t / 0.006)

Divide both side by Qo

0.9999 = exp(-t / 0.006)

Take In of both sodes

In(0.9999) = In(exp(-t / 0.006))

-1 × 10^-4 = -t / 0.006

t = -1 × 10^-4 × - 0.006

t = 6 × 10^-7 second

So it will take 6 × 10^-7 a for charge to reached 99.99% of it's maximum charge

What is the weight of a 48 kg girl on Earth? Rounded to the nearest whole number

Levart [38]

Answer:

471 N

Explanation:

Weight is just another word for the force of gravity.

Weight is a force that acts at all times on all objects near Earth. The Earth pulls on all objects with a force of gravity downward toward the center of the Earth (g-9.81 m/s2)

so we can simply say

weight =mass * gravitaitonal acceleraition

= 48 * 9.81

=470.88 N

= 471 N

butalik [34]

Answer:

(a) F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j with magnitude |F| = 0.00856N

(b) E = -42846.7 N/C

Explanation:

The diagram attached below explains some parameters.

Parameters given:

Charge Q1 = +50 nC at point (0, 0)

Charge Q2 = -50 nC at point (0.1, 0)

Charge Q3 = +150 nC at point (0.1, 0.08)

* The distances are in meters.

(a) The total electric force on the charge Q3 due to Q1 and Q2 is the vector sum of the forces due to Q1 and Q2. Mathematically,

F = F1 + F2

FORCE DUE TO Q1 i.e. F(Q1, Q3)

We have to find the x and y components.

From the diagram, we can find θ using SOHCAHTOA:

θ = tan⁻¹ (0.08/0.1)

θ = 38.66⁰

The distance between Q1 and Q3 can be found using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = 0.08² + 0.1²

x = 0.128 m

F1 = Fx(Q1, Q3)i + Fy(Q1, Q3)j

F1 = iF(Q1, Q3)cosθ + jF(Q1, Q3)sinθ

F(Q1, Q3) = (k * Q1 * Q3) / r²

k = Coulombs constant

F(Q1, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.128)²

F(Q1, Q3) = 0.00412N

F1 = i0.00412 * cos38.66 + j0. 00412 * sin38.66

F1 = 0.00322i + 0.00257j N

FORCE DUE TO Q2 i.e. F(Q2, Q3)

We have to find the x and y components.

F2 = Fx(Q2, Q3)i + Fy(Q2, Q3)j

F2 = iF(Q2, Q3)cos90 + jF(Q2, Q3)cos0

F(Q2, Q3) = (k * Q2 * Q3) / r²

F(Q2, Q3) = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹ * 150 * 10⁻⁹) /(0.08)²

F(Q2, Q3) = -0.0105N

F2 = -i0.0105 * cos90 - j0.0105 * cos0

F2 = - 0.0105j N

Hence, the total force will be

F = F1 + F2

F = 0.00322i + 0.00257j - 0.0105j

F = 0.00322i - 0.00793j N

The magnitude of this force is:

|F| = √(0.00322² + (-0.00793²)

|F| = 0.00856N

(b) The electric field at charge Q3 is the sum of the electric fields due to Q1 and Q2:

E = E1 + E2

E1, electric field due to Q1 = kQ1/r²

E1 = (9 * 10⁹ * 50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.128²)

E1 = 27465.8 N/C

E2, electric field due to Q2 = (9 * 10⁹ * -50 * 10⁻⁹) / (0.08²)

E1 = -70312.5N/C

The total electric field:

E = E1 + E2

E = 27465.8 - 70312.5

E = -42846.7 N/C
