A student is swimming south applying a force of 256 N. The water exerts a westward force of 104 N. If the student has a mass of
95.3 kg, what is the acceleration of the student? Hint: the weight of the student is balanced with the water buoyant force, therefore those are the only forces affecting the resultant force.

Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>
The second Newton's Law relates the net force acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.
According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of the resulting force is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle
The acceleration can be obtained from the formula
Note we are using only magnitudes here

Answer:
The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is
The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.
Solution:
According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say) = d
The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:
Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':
For plate A,
Similar is the case with plate B:
Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:
Now,
The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:
Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is .
Electric Field at plate A, at midway due to charge q:
Similarly, for plate B:
Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.
Let us consider two bodies having masses m and m' respectively.
Let they are separated by a distance of r from each other.
As per the Newtons law of gravitation ,the gravitational force between two bodies is given as - where G is the gravitational force constant.
From the above we see that F ∝ mm' and
Let the orbital radius of planet A is = r and mass of planet is
.
Let the mass of central star is m .
Hence the gravitational force for planet A is
For planet B the orbital radius and mass
Hence the gravitational force
Hence the ratio is
