Answer:

Epx= - 21.4N/C

Epy= 19.84N/C

Explanation:

Electric field theory

The electric field at a point P due to a point charge is calculated as follows:

E= k*q/r²

E= Electric field in N/C

q = charge in Newtons (N)

k= electric constant in N*m²/C²

r= distance from load q to point P in meters (m)

Equivalences

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

known data

q₁=-2.9nC=-2.9 *10⁻⁹C

q₂=5nC=5  *10⁻⁹C

r₁=0.840m

r_{2} =\sqrt{1^{2} +0.8^{2} } =\sqrt{1.64}

sin\beta =\frac{0.8}{\sqrt{1.64} } =0.6246

cos\beta =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1.64} } =0.7808

Calculation of the electric field at point P due to q1

Ep₁x=0

Ep_{1y} =\frac{k*q_{1} }{r_{1}^{2}  } =\frac{8.99*10^{9}*2.9*10^{-9}  }{0.84^{2} } =36.95\frac{N}{C}

Calculation of the electric field at point P due to q2

Ep_{2x} =-\frac{k*q_{2} *cos\beta }{r_{2}^{2}  } =-\frac{8.99*10^{9}*5*10^{-9} *0.7808 }{(\sqrt{1.64})^{2}  } =-21.4\frac{N}{C}

Ep_{2y} =-\frac{k*q_{2} *sin\beta }{r_{2}^{2}  } =-\frac{8.99*10^{9}*5*10^{-9} *0.6242 }{(\sqrt{1.64})^{2}  } =-17.11\frac{N}{C}

Calculation of the electric field at point P(0,0) due to q1 and q2

Epx= Ep₁x+ Ep₂x==0 - 21.4N/C =- 21.4N/C

Epy= Ep₁y+ Ep₂y=36.95 N/C-17.11N =19.84N/C

A spring is hung from the ceiling. When a block is attached to its end, it stretches 2.6 cm before reaching its new equilibrium
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

f = 3.09 Hz

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise where the angular velocity is

         w² = \frac{k}{m}

to find the constant (k) of the spring, we use Hooke's law with the initial data

         F = - kx

where the force is the weight of the body that is hanging

        F = W = m g

we substitute

        m g = - k x

        k = - \frac{m g}{x}

we calculate

        k = - \frac{9.8 m}{- 2.6 \ 10^{-2}}

        k = 3.769 10² m

we substitute in the first equation

       w² = \frac{ 3.769 \ 10^2 \ m }{m}

       w = 19.415 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2πf

        f = \frac{w}{2\pi }

        f = 19.415 / 2pi

        f = 3.09 Hz

A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 120.0 meters per second at an angle, θ above the horizontal. If the projectile
k0ka [10]

Answer:

θ = 62.72°

Explanation:

The projectile describes a parabolic path:

The parabolic movement results from the composition of a uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) and a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward or downward motion (vertical ).

The equation of uniform rectilinear motion (horizontal ) for the x axis is :

x = x₀+ vx*t   Formula (1)

vx = v₀x

Where:  

x: horizontal position in meters (m)

x₀: initial horizontal position in meters (m)

t : time (s)

vx: horizontal velocity  in m/s

v₀x: Initial speed in x  in m/s

The equations of uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion of upward (vertical ) for the y axis  are:

y= y₀+(v₀y)*t - (1/2)*g*t² Formula (2)

vfy= v₀y -gt Formula (3)

Where:  

y: vertical position in meters (m)  

y₀ : initial vertical position in meters (m)  

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀y: initial  vertical velocity  in m/s  

vfy: final  vertical velocity  in m/s  

g: acceleration due to gravity in m/s²

Data

v₀ = 120 m/s  , at an angle  θ above the horizontal

v₀x= 55 m/s

x-y components of the initial  velocity ( v₀)

v₀x = v₀*cosθ Equation (1)

v₀y = v₀*sinθ   Equation (2)

Calculating of the angle θ

We replace data in the  Equation (1)

55 =  120*cosθ

cosθ = 55 / 120

\theta = cos^{-1}(  \frac{55}{120} )

θ = 62.72°
