Answer

given,

Mass of the runner, M = 70 Kg

speed of the runner on the second base = 4.35 m/s

speed at the base = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity,g = 9.8 m/s²

a) magnitude of mechanical energy lost

  Mechanical energy lost is equal top gain in kinetic energy

   ME_{Lost}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

   ME_{Lost}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times 4.35^2

   ME_{Lost}=662.29\ J

b) Work done = Force x displacement

    W = F. x

     F = μ mg

    W = μ mg . x

Work done is equal to 662.29 J

  x=\dfrac{W}{\mu m g}

using the coefficient of the friction,μ = 0.7

  x=\dfrac{662.29}{ 0.7\times 70\times 9.8}

     x = 1.38 m

Hence, the runner will slide to 1.38 m.

Two 13 cm -long thin glass rods uniformly charged to +11nC are placed side by side, 4.0 cm apart. What are the electric field st
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

E1  = 10.15 * 10^4 N/C

E2 = 0

E3 = 10.15 *10^4 N/C

Explanation:

Given data:

Two 13 cm-long thin glass rods ( L ) = 0.13 m

charge (Q)  = +11nC

distance between thin glass rods   = 4 cm .

<u>Calculate the electric field strengths </u>

electric charge due to a single glass rod in the question ( E ) = \frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }

equation 1 can be used to determine E1, E2 and E3 because the points lie within the two rods hence the net electric field produced will be equal to the difference in electric fields produced

applying equation 1 to determine E1

E1 = \frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL } ( \frac{1}{0.01} - \frac{1}{0.03} )    ( distance from 1 rod is 0.01 m and from the other rod is 0.03 )

   = \frac{11*10^{-9} }{2*3.14*8.85*10^{-12}*0.13 } ( 66.67 )

   = 10.15 * 10^4 N/C

applying equation 1 to determine E2

E2 = \frac{Q}{2\pi e_{0}rL }( \frac{1}{0.02} - \frac{1}{0.02} )

therefore E2 = 0

E1 = E3

hence E3 = 10.15*10^4 N/C
