Answer:

a) 24.5*10⁻² N b) θ = -11.3º c) x=108 m d) y=-21.6 m

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the block can be treated as a point charge, the electrostatic force on it, must be equal to the product of the electric field, times the value of  the charge.

At the same time, this force must obey Newton's 2nd law, as follows:

F = m*a = q*E

As this is a vector equation, and  we have the value of the x and y components of the electric field, we can decompose it in two algebraic equations, as follows:

Fₓ = m*aₓ = q*Eₓ

Fy = m*ay = q*Ey

In order to find the magnitude of the force F, we can find the magnitude of E, as follows:

E =\sqrt{Ex^{2} +Ey^{2}} =\sqrt{3000N/C^{2} +(-600N/C)^{2}} =3.06e3 N/C

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the block is:

F = q*E = 8.00*10⁻⁵ C * 3.06*10³ N/C =24.5*10⁻² N

b) The direction of the force, as the charge is positive, by convention, is the same as the electric field.

The angle of the electric field with the positive x-axis, can be calculated from the values of Eₓ and Ey, as follows:

θ = tg⁻¹ (Ey/Ex) = tg⁻1 (-600/3000) = tg⁻1 (-.2) = -11.3º (11.3º below horizontal)

c) and d)

As the electric field is uniform, we can get the displacement due to the electrostatic force, applying kinematic equations, to the x and y directions, as they are independent each other due they are perpendicular each other.

As we have already told, we have the following algebraic equations:

Fₓ = m*aₓ = q* Eₓ

Fy = m*ay = q*Ey

As we have the values of Ex, Ey, and m, we can find aₓ and  ay, as follows:

ax = \frac{q*Ex}{m } = \frac{8e-5C*3e3N/C}{1e-2kg} = 24 m/s2

ay = \frac{q*Ey}{m } = \frac{8e-5C*(-6e2N/C}{1e-2kg} = -4.8 m/s2

We can find the horizontal and vertical displacements from the origin (the position coordinates at the time t), as follows:

x =\frac{1}{2}*ax*t^{2}  =\frac{1}{2} * 24 m/s2*3.00s^{2} = 108 m

y =\frac{1}{2}*ay*t^{2}  =\frac{1}{2} * (-4.8 m/s2)*3.00s^{2} = -21.6 m

⇒ x, y = 108.0 m, -21.6 m

An engine pulls a train of 20 freight cars, each having a mass of 4.900 × 104 kg, with a constant force. The cars move from rest
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The force with which the tenth car pulls the eleventh one is called tension and is equal to:

T=119715.91 N

Explanation:

The force (F) with which the tenth car pulls the eleventh one is called tension and its direction is the X-direction or horizontal. According to Newton's Second Law of motion:  

\sum F=ma

That is, the force of the car is equal to the acceleration (a) times its mass (m). The acceleration is the change in the velocity divided by the time (i is for initial and f is for final).

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_f}

Using Newton's second law:  

To find the forces, you have to solve the equilibrium in X-direction:

\sum F_x=T=ma_x

Now you can substitute the accelertion in terms of velocity and time:

\sumF_x=T=ma_x=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}

Solve the equation using the data from the problem, remember that the mass of the object is 10 times the mass of one car because the 10th car has to pull all the other cars:

T=m\frac{v_f-v_i}{t_f-t_i}=(10)*(4.900 \times 10^4 kg)(\frac{4.3 m/s}{17.60s})\\T=119715.91 N

Determjne the density of liquid whose relative density is 1.25 given that the density is 1000kgm-3​
nlexa [21]

Explanation:

Relative density=density of liquid÷density of water

1.25=x ÷ 1000

x=1.25 × 1000

x=1250kgm^-3
