The force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

Explanation:

The force required to stop the car should have equal magnitude as the force required to move the car but in opposite direction. This is in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion. Since, in the present problem, we know the kinetic energy and velocity of the moving car, we can determine the mass of the car from these two parameters.

So, here v = 30 m/s and k.E. = 3.6 × 10⁵ J, then mass will be

K.E = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2}  \\\\m = \frac{2*KE}{v^{2} } = \frac{2*3.6*10^{5} }{30*30}=800 kg

Now, we know that the work done by the brake to stop the car will be equal to the product of force to stop the car with the distance travelled by the car on applying the brake.Here it is said that the car travels 95 m after the brake has been applied. So with the help of work energy theorem,

Work done = Final kinetic energy - Initial kinetic energy

Work done = Force × Displacement

So, Force × Displacement = Final kinetic energy - Initial Kinetic energy.

Force * 95 = 0-3.6*10^{5}\\ \\Force =\frac{-3.6*10^{5} }{95}=-3.79 N

Thus, the force needed to the stop the car is -3.79 N.

Assume that the position vector of A is r=i+j+k . Determine the moment about the origin O if the force F=(1)i+(0)j+(5)k . The mo
ddd [48]

Answer:

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Explanation:

Using the cross product method, the moment vector(M₀) of a force (F) is about a given point is equal to cross product of the vector A from the point (r) to anywhere on the line of action of the force itself. i.e

M₀ = r x F

From the question,

r = i + j + k

F = 1i + 0j +  5k

Therefore,

M₀ = (i + j + k) x (1i + 0j +  5k)

M₀ = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\1&1&1\\1&0&5\end{array}\right]

M₀ = i(5 - 0) -j(5 - 1) + k(0 - 1)

M₀ = i(5) - j(4) + k(-1)

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

Therefore, the moment about the origin O of the force F is

M₀ = 5i - 4j - k

A point charge is placed 100 m from a 6 uC charge generating an electric field. What is the
kvv77 [185]

The strength of the electric field is 5 N/C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field produced by a single-point charge is given by:

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}

where

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

Q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

In this problem, we have:

Q=6 \mu C = 6\cdot 10^{-6}C is the charge producing the field

r = 100 m is the distance from the charge at  which we want to calculate the field

Substituting into the equation, we find the s trength of the electric field:

E=\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(6\cdot 10^{-6})}{(100)^2}=5.4 N/C \sim 5 N/C

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.
