Object A has mass 83.0 g and hangs from an insulated thread. When object B, which has a charge of +140 nC, is held nearby, A is

attracted to it. In equilibrium, A hangs at an angle θ = 7.20° with respect to the vertical and is 5.40 cm to the left of B.
a. What is the charge on A?

Answer:

a) -238 nC  

b) 0.889 N  

Explanation:

Concepts and Principles

<u>Particle in Equilibrium:</u> If a particle maintains a constant velocity (so that a = 0), which could include a velocity of zero, the forces on the particle balance and Newton's second law reduces to:  

∑F = 0                                                                           (1)  

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> the magnitude of the electrostatic force exerted by a point charge q1 on a second point charge q2 separated by a distance r is directly proportional to the product of the two charges and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them:

F_12 = k*| q1 |*| q2 |/r^2                                                 (2)

where k = 8.99 x 10^9 N  m^2/C^2 is Coulomb constant.  

<u>Given Data  </u>

<em>mA (mass object A) = (83 g)*(1/1000g)=0.09 kg </em>

<em>qB (charge of object B) = (140 nC)*(1/10^9 nC) = 130 x 10^-9 C </em>

<em>Object A is attracted to object B. </em>

<em>Ф(angle made by object A with the vertical) = 7.2°  </em>

<em>(  r (distance between the two objects) = (5 cm) * (1 m/ 100 cm) =0.05 m  </em>

<em>Object A is in equilibrium.  </em>

Required Data

In part (a), we are asked to determine the charge qA of object A.

In part (b), we are asked to determine the tension T in the thread.  

(a) The FBD in Figure 1 shows the forms acting on object A; Fe is the electric force exerted on object A by object B, T is the tension force exerted on the thread, and m_a*g is the gravitational force exerted on object A.  

Model object A as a particle in equilibrium in the horizontal and vertical direction and apply Equation (1) to it:  

∑F_x = F_e-Tsin = 0                                   F_e=Tsin<em>Ф                </em><em>(3)</em>

∑F_y = Tcos<em>Ф - </em>m_a*g= 0                      m_a*g=Tsin<em>Ф                </em><em>(4)</em>

Divide Equation (3) by Equation (4) to eliminate T:

F_e/m_a*g=tan<em>Ф</em>

F_e=m_a*g*tan<em>Ф</em>

Substitute for  F_e by using Coulomb's law from Equation (2):

k*| q_A |*| q_B |/r = m_a*g*tan<em>Ф</em>

Solve for q_A :  

| q_A | = m_a*g*tanФ_r/k*| q_B |

Substitute numerical values from given data:

| q_A | =  238 nC  

Because object A is attracted to object B. it has an opposite negative charge. Therefore, the charge on object A is | q_A | =  -238 nC  

(b)  

Solve Equation (4) for T:  

T = m_a*g/cosФ

Substitute numerical values from given data:

T = (0.09 kg)(9.8 m/s^2) /cos 7.2°  

  = 0.889 N

If the pitched ball was traveling 77 mph before stanton's bat hit it and 120 mph after his bat hit it, by what amount did the sp
Mice21 [21]

here we will use the concept of Newton's III law

as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat

So here we will say

impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

m_1(v_f - v_i) = m_2(\Delta v)

given that

m_1 = 5 ounce

m_2 = 32 ounce

For ball the change in speed will be

v_f - v_i = (120 - 77)mph

now from above equation

5\times (120 - 77) = 32 \times \Delta v

\Delta v = 6.72 mph

so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph

An object, when pushed with a net force F, has an acceleration of 4 m/s . Now twice the force is applied to an object that has f
hjlf

Answer:

B. 2 m/s

B. Acceleration = 4.05 m/s² and Tension = 297.5 N.

Explanation:

A force is applied on a mass m whose acceleration is 4 m/s

Force = mass × acceleration

a = F/m = 4 m/s

4 m/s = F/m

F = 4 m/s (m)

If  Force of 2F is applied on a mass of 4m ; it acceleration is as follows:

2F/4 m = F/ 2m

4m/s (m) / 2m = 2 m/s

a = 2 m/s

2.

Given that

mass m_1 = 30 kg

mass m_2 = 50 kg

\mu = 0.1

From the question; we can arrive at two cases;

That :

m_{2} a _ \ {net} }= m_2g - T   ----- equation (1)

m_{1} a _ \ {net} }=  T - mg sin \theta  - F ---- equation (2)

50 a = 50 g - T

30 a = T - 30 g sin 30 - 4 × 30 g cos 30

By summation

80 a =[ 50  - 30 * \frac{1}{2} - 0.1 *30* \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}]g

80 a = 32. 4 × 10 m/s ²  (using g as 10m/s²)

80 a = 324 m/s ²

a = 324/80

a = 4.05 m/s²

From equation , replace a with 4.05

50 × 4.05 = 50 × 10 - T

T = 500 -202.5

T =297.5 N

Danny's mother believes her own fear of big dogs may have led to his phobia. This explanation is pointing to ______________.
matrenka [14]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Cynophobia

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Cynophobia originates from the Greek words that signify "dog" (cyno) and "fear" (phobis). An individual who has cynophobia encounters a dread of mutts that is both unreasonable and tenacious. It's something beyond feeling of scaredness whether a dog is barking or an individual is around dogs.

An individual who has cynophobia encounters a dread of dogs that is both silly and constant. Explicit fears, similar to cynophobia, influence somewhere in the range of 7 to 9 percent of the populace. They're regular enough that they're formally perceived in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,

Which fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck?
Irina18 [472]

Radial fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is a slight difference between radial and concentric fractures and as radial fractures are formed which extends outwards in a radial manner  from the point where the glass is struck.

Whereas concentric fractures are circular in pattern and they terminate long before radial crack. Also when a bullet is fired from a gun, a similar reaction is observed as it gets struck on the surface and fractures are formed in the same pattern.
