Answer:

(B) Vertically upward

Explanation:

r = Side of triangle = 14 cm

q = Charge = -2.5 nC

Electrical force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times (2.5\times 10^{-9})^2}{0.14^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.86671\times 10^{-6}\ N

For the top charge

Net force on both charges is given by

F_n=2Fcos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_n=2\times 2.86671\times 10^{-6}\times cos30\\\Rightarrow F_n=4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

The net force acting on the top charge is 4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

Here the forces are symmetrical hence, the net force is along +y axis i.e., upward

Air bags are designed to deploy in 10 ms. Given that the air bags expand 20 cm as they deploy, estimate the acceleration of the
joja [24]

As it is given that the air bag deploy in time

t = 10 ms = 0.010 s

total distance moved by the front face of the bag

d = 20 cm = 0.20 m

Now we will use kinematics to find the acceleration

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

0.20 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a*0.010^2

0.20 = 5 * 10^{-5}* a

a = 4000 m/s^2

now as we know that

g = 10 m/s^2

so we have

a = 400g

so the acceleration is 400g for the front surface of balloon

Which statement is true regarding flexibility? A. joint's range of motion cannot be maintained with age. b.A joint's range of mo
Alex777 [14]
<span>the statement that is true regarding flexibility is : b. a joint's range of motion will be lost if the joint is not used regularly. Our body is like a machine. If we not constantly heat it up, our body will be more prone to injury. We can see that the old people who lived within the tribe in the middle of the mountain are far stronger than the one who lived in the city.</span>

A 5kg bag falls a verticle height of 10m before hitting the ground.
g100num [7]

Answer:

u = 7m {s}^{ - 1}

Explanation:

We know that when we don't have air friction on a free fall the mechanical energy (I will symbololize it with ME) is equal everywhere. So we have:

me(1) = me(2)

where me(1) is mechanical energy while on h=10m

and me(2) is mechanical energy while on the ground

Ek(1) + DynamicE(1) = Ek(2) + DynamicE(2)

Ek(1) is equal to zero since an object that has reached its max height has a speed equal to zero.

DynamicE(2) is equal to zero since it's touching the ground

Using that info we have

m \times g \times h   =   \frac{1}{2}  \times m \times u {}^{2} \\

we divide both sides of the equation with mass to make the math easier.

9.8 \times 10 =  \frac{1}{2}  \times u {}^{2}  \\  \frac{98}{2}  = u {}^{2}  \\ u { }^{2} = 49 \\ u = 7
