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

Two identical stones are thrown from the top of a tall building. Stone 1 is thrown vertically downward with an initial speed v,
Molodets [167]

If the resistance of the Air is ignored, we can use the theory given by Galileo in which he warned that the thermal velocity of a body in free fall was given by

v= \frac{1}{2}gt

Where

g = Gravitational acceleration

t = time

As we can see the speed of objects in free fall is indifferent to the position that is launched (as long as the resistance of the air is ignored) or its mass.

Both bodies will end with the same thermal speed.

A person is riding a motorized tricycle. They weigh 180kg and are moving at 3 m/s over a distance of 300 m. How much work is don
agasfer [191]

If I am to understand this question correctly this is what asks you:

If a person is riding a motorized tricycle how much work do they do?

You may ask yourself, why did I only use part of the question. Simple, the rest is not relevant to what is being asked. The weight, speed, and distance wont affect the person riding any <em><u>motorized vehicle</u></em> other than the time it takes to get from one place to another.

So to answer this question I would say:

Not much, all they really have to do is to steer and set the motorized tricycle to cruise control. Just like any rode certified vehicle.

If you have any questions about my answer please let me know and I will be happy to clarify any misunderstandings. Thanks and have a great day!

An optical disk drive in your computer can spin a disk up to 10,000 rpm (about 1045 rad/s 1045 rad/s ). If a particular disk is
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the disk is 4139.74\ rad/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, \omega_i=968.7\ rad/s

The disk comes to rest, \omega_i=0

Time, t = 0.234 s

We need to find the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the disk. It is given by change in angular velocity per unit time. So,

\alpha =\dfrac{\omega f}{t}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{968.7\ rad/s}{0.234\ s}\\\\\alpha =4139.74\ rad/s^2

So, the magnitude of the average angular acceleration of the disk is 4139.74\ rad/s^2.

How does mass affect density? How does volume affect density?
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Here's the Density Formula:  D = M/V

Q: How does mass affect density?

A: <em>Mass is a factor in density, the density is proportional to the mass. So as the mass increases, so does the density, provided the volume remains constant.</em>

Q: How does volume affect density?

A:<em> If an object has a larger mass than its volume it has a high density, if an object has a smaller mass than its volume it has a lower density.</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>I really Hope this Helps!!</u></em>
