You walk 60m east and then 20m at 20 degrees south of west. What is your displacement?

1 answer:

5 0

Let north and east be posetive
Y=20sin20
=6.840402867 south
X=20cos20
18.79385243 west
Net horizontal components=60+(-18.79)
=41.20614758m
Net vertical=-6.84040267
X^2=41.20614758^2+(-6.684040267)^2
√x^2 =√1744.73771m
x=41.77m

One end of a 7-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 5.4 kg mass is hung from the other end, the spring is stretched

mash [69]

Answer:

2.63 cm

Explanation:

Hooke's law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

Making c the subject of the formula then

$c=\frac {F}{y}$

Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

$c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930$

By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

$y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm$

An alpha particle (charge +2e) and an electron move in opposite directions from the same point, each with the speed of 2.80×10^5

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnetic field due to moving charge =

$B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \times \frac{qv}{r^2}$

q is charge moving with velocity v and r is distance from point at which field is calculated .

For alpha particle

$B_1=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \times \frac{2\times 1.6\times10^{-19}\times 2.8\times 10^5}{(8.25\times 10^{-9})^2}$

= 0.1316 x 10⁻³ T

For electron

$B_2=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \times \frac{ 1.6\times10^{-19}\times 2.8\times 10^5}{(8.25\times 10^{-9})^2}$

= .0658 x 10⁻³ T .

Both these magnetic field will be same in direction because direction of equivalent current is same for both the particles .

Hence

Total magnetic field

= B₁ + B₂ = .1974 x 10⁻³

= 1.974 x 10⁻⁴ T .
