When a third object is brought in contact with the first object (after it gains the electrons), the resulting charge on the thir

Answer:

- Contact 1 with 3 ,  initial charge of 1.8 C.

- contact 1 with 2 and then 1 with 3 , first body should have 3.6 C

Explanation:

The excess charge on a body is distributed evenly throughout the body.

We can have two different configurations:

- Contact 1 with 3

When the third body was touched with the first, the initial charge was distributed between the two, so that when each one separated, it had half the charge, in this configuration the first body should have an initial charge of 1.8 C.

- contact 1 with 2 and then 1 with 3

Another possible configuration of the exercise is that the first body touches the second and the charge decrease to the half and then touches the third where it again decreases by half, so that the first body only gives it every ¼ of its initial load.

Therefore in this configuration if the third body has a load of 0.9C the first body should have 3.6 C

A car with four passengers will have a shorter braking distance than a car with one braking distance. True or false. Why?
Valentin [98]

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement is a True statement

<u>Explanation:</u>

All cars and trucks have load capacities marked on the jamb of the driver's door, as well as the owner's manual. This is very significant for braking distance.

A heavier object will require much more braking force and distance to stop, due to New ton's law of motion. “ An object in motion will tend to stay in motion “ .A heavy object will remain in motion longer and require much more force to stop. Four wheel disc brakes are great compared to front disc and rear drum configuration, in dissipating heat, and stopping more efficiently.

A commuter airplane starts from an airport and takes theroute. The plane first flies to city A, located 175 km away in a directi
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

Explanation:

Let's place the origin of a coordinate system at city A.

The final position of the airplane is given by:

rf = ra + rb + rc    where ra, rb and rc are the vectors of the relative displacements the airplane has made. If we separate this equation into its x and y coordinates:

rfX = raX+ rbX + rcX = 175*cos(30)-150*sin(20)-190 = -89.75km

rfY = raY + rbY + rcT = 175*sin(30)+150*cos(20) = 228.45km

The module of this position is:

rf = \sqrt{rfX^2+rfY^2} = 245.45km

And the angle measure from the y-axis is:

\alpha =atan(rfX/rfY) = 21.45\°

So the answer is 245.45km in a direction 21.45° west of north from city A

Two charged objects are 1 meter apart. Calculate the magnitude of the electric force between them if the two charges are +1.0 μC
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

0.00899 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charges is given by the equation:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges

r is the distance between the two charges

And the force is:

- Repulsive if the two charges have same sign

- Attractive if the two charges have opposite sign

In this problem we have:

q_1=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 1)

q_2=1.0\mu C = 1.0\cdot 10^{6}C (charge of object 2)

r = 1 m (separation between the objects)

So, the electric force is

F=(8.99\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1.0\cdot 10^{-6})^2}{1^2}=0.00899 N

An automobile traveling on a straight, level road has an initial speed v when the brakes are applied. In coming to rest with a c
Molodets [167]

Answer:

4x

Explanation:

Use v^{2} = u^{2} +2as to do the question.

For first instance,

0 = v^{2} +2ax -------------------( 1 )

for second instance,

0 = (2v)^{2} +2as-----------------( 2 )

So by (1) and (2),

s = 4x

Two vectors of magnitudes 30 units and 70 units are added to each other. What are possible results of this addition? (section 3.
Yanka [14]

Answer:

the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.

Explanation:

given,

two vector of magnitude = 30 units and of 70 units

to calculate resultants vector = \sqrt{a^2+b^2+2 a b cos\theta}

cos θ value varies from -1 to 1

so, resultant vector

=\sqrt{a^2+b^2-2 a b cos\theta}\ to\ \sqrt{a^2+b^2+ 2 a b cos\theta}

a = 30 units    and  b = 70 units

= \sqrt{30^2+70^2-2\times 30\times 70}\ to\ \sqrt{30^2+70^2+2\times 30\times 70}

=   40 units to 100 units

hence, the correct answer is option C which is 50 units.
