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

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>

The gas in a balloon has T=280 K and V=0.0279 m^3. if the temperature increases to 320 K at constant pressure, what is the new v
victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.0319 m³

Explanation:

Use ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

where P is pressure, V is volume, n is amount of gas, R is the gas constant, and T is temperature.

Since P, n, and R are held constant:

n₁ R / P₁ = n₂ R₂ / P₂

Which means:

V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

Plugging in:

0.0279 m³ / 280 K = V / 320 K

V = 0.0319 m³

A sound source is located somewhere along the x-axis. Experiments show that the same wave front simultaneously reaches listeners
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the source is situated on x - axis , it must be situated in between the two listeners .

So the x coordinate of source is

(-7 + 3 )/2

= - 2 m

The equation of the wave- front will be that o a circle having centre at (-2,0)

and radius = distance between -2 and 3 , that is 5 m

equation of circle

=( x+2 )² + y² = 25

It cuts y axis when x = 0

Putting x = 0

4 + y² = 25

y² = 21

y = + √21 , or - √21
