A flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.09 ✕ 10−5 N straight down on the ground. A breeze blowing on the flea parallel to the grou

nd exerts a force of 0.340 ✕ 10−6 N on the flea. Find the direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea if its mass is 6.10 ✕ 10−7 kg. Do not neglect the gravitational force. (Assume that the breeze blows in the +x-direction and that the +y-direction is up.)

Answer:

a= 17.877 m/s² : Magnitude of the acceleration of the flea

β = 88.21°  :  Direction  of the acceleration of the flea

Explanation:

Conceptual analysis

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Problem development

Look at the flea free body diagram in the attached graphic

The acceleration is presented in the direction of the resultant force (R) applied over the flea .

R= \sqrt{(F_{x})^{2} + (F_{y})^{2} }

R= \sqrt{(10.9)^{2}+(0.340)^{2}  } *10^{-6} N

R= 10.905*10⁻⁶ N

We apply the formula (1) to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the flea

∑F = m*a   m = 6.1 * 10⁻⁷ kg

R = m*a

a= R/m

a= (10.905*10⁻⁶) /  (6.1 * 10⁻⁷ )

a= 17.877 m/s²

β: Direction and magnitude of the acceleration of the flea

\beta = tan^{-1} (\frac{F_{y} }{F_{x} } )

\beta = tan^{-1} (\frac{10.9*10^{-6} }{0.340*10^{-6} } )

β = 88.21°

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?
Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 99.4 MHz?
raketka [301]

Answer:

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Explanation:

We have given the frequency of the broadcast f=99.4MHz=99.4\times 10^4Hz

The speed of light c=3\times 10^8m/sec

The distance of the antenna to receive a minimum signal from the station is given by d=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{99.4\times 10^6}=3.018m

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m
