(Serway 9th ed., 6-27) The mass of a sports car is 1200 kg. The shape of the body is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient

is 0.250 and the frontal area is 2.20 m2. Ignoring all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration the car has if it has been traveling at 100 km/hr and is now shifted into neutral and allowed to coast. (Ans. 0.212 m/s2, opposite the velocity vector)

Answer:

a = - 0.248 m/s²

Explanation:

Frictional drag force

F = ½ *(ρ* v² * A * α)

ρ = density of air , ρ = 1.295 kg/m^3

α = drag coef , α = 0.250

v = 100 km/h x 1000m / 3600s

v = 27.77 m/s

A = 2.20m^2

So replacing numeric in the initial equation

F = ½ (1.295kg/m^3)(27.77m/s)²(2.30m^2)(0.26)

F = 298.6 N

Now knowing the force can find the acceleration

a = - F / m

a = - 298.6 N / 1200 kg

a = - 0.248 m/s²

Three charged particles are placed at each of three corners of an equilateral triangle whose sides are of length 3.3 cm . Two of

Answer:

$1.44\times 10^{-3}$ N

Explanation:

We are given that three charged particle are placed at each corner of equilateral triangle.

$q_1=-8.2 nC,q_2=-16.4 nC,q_3=8.0nC$

$q_1=-8.2\times 10^{-9} C$

$q_2=-16.4\times 10^{-9} C$

$q_3=8.0\times 10^{-9} C$

Side of equilateral triangle =3.3 cm= $\frac{3.3}{100}=0.033m$

We know that each angle of equilateral angle= $60^{\circ}$

Net force=F = $\sum\frac{kQq }{d^2}$

Where k= $9\times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

If we bisect the angle at $q_3$ then we have 30 degrees from there to either charge.

Direction of vertical force due to charge $q_1$ and $q_2$

Therefore, force will be added

Vertical force= $9\times 10^9\times q_3(q_1+q_2)\frac{cos30}{(0.033)^2})$

Vertical net force= $9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-9}(-8.2-16.4)\times 10^{-9}\times 10^6\times\frac{\sqrt3}{2\times 1089}$

Vertical force = $9\times 8(-24.6)\times 10^{-9}\times 10^6\times 1.732\times \frac{1}{2178}$

Vertical force= $-1.41\times 10^{-3}N$ (towards $q_1}$

Horizontal component are opposite in direction then will b subtracted

Horizontal force= $9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-9}(-8.2+16.4) \times 10^{-9}\times \frac{sin30}{(0.033)^2}$

Horizontal force= $0.27\times 10^-3}$ N(towards $q_2$

Net electric force acting on particle 3 due to particle = $\sqrt{F^2_x+F^2_y}$

Net force= $\sqrt{(-1.41\times 10^{-3})^2+(0.27\times 10^{-3})^2}$

Net force= $1.44\times 10^{-3}$ N
