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

A Thomson's gazelle can run at very high speeds, but its acceleration is relatively modest. A reasonable model for the sprint of
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = 4.2 m/s²

Time = 6.5 s

Suppose we need to find the gazelles top speed

The speed is equal to the product of acceleration and time.

We need to calculate the gazelles top speed

Using formula of speed

v=at

Where, v = speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=4.2\times6.5

v=27.3\ m/s

Hence, The gazelles top speed is 27.3 m/s.

uppose two train cars are moving toward one another, the first with a mass of 150,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s; the second
kondaur [170]

The value was determined to be 0.122 m/s. The velocity of a body or object determines its direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quantity in its most fundamental form.

Velocity is essentially a vector quantity. It is the rate of change in distance. The initial speed of the first train, which has a mass of 150,000 kg, is 0.3 m/s. The second train has an initial speed of -0.120 m/s and a mass of 110,000 kg.

Let v represent the post-collision speed of the connected mass.

Utilize the idea of momentum.

The speed of the trains is constant both before and after a collision.

150.000 + 110.000v 45.000 - 13200 = 260.000 v 31800 = 260.000 v v = 0.122 m/s 150000 x 0.3 - 110000 x 0.120

After colliding, they move at a speed of 0.122 m/s towards the direction of the right.
