Answer:

q = 7.88μC

Explanation:

In the diagram attached, you can visualize the situation. Separation distance between the 2 charges is:

D = 2*L*sin θ = 0.1532m

From a sum of forces on the X-axis:

T*sin \theta = Fe

And on the y-axis:

T*cos \theta = m*g   Solving for T and replacing its value on the X-axis equation we get:

m*g*tan \theta = Fe  Since Fe = \frac{K*q^2}{D^2}

m*g*tan \theta = \frac{K*q^2}{D^2}  Solving for q we get:

q = 7.88μC

A particle is projected with velocity v0 directly up a slope which makes an angle α with the horizontal. Assume frictionless mot
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

a)T total = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

b)α = 0º ,  T total≅∞ (the particle, goes away horizontally indefinitely)

α = 90º,  T total=2*Voy/g

Explanation:

  • Velocity in the Y axis:

Voy=Vo*sinα

  • Time to reach the maximal height :

Kinematics equation: Vfy=Voy-at

a=g*sinα ;  g is gravity

if Vfy=0 ⇒ t=T ; time to reach the maximal height

so:

0=Voy-g*sin( α )*T

T=Voy/(g*sin( α ))

  • Time required to return to the starting point:

After the object reaches its maximum height, the object descends to the starting point, the time it descends is the same as the time it rises.

So T total= 2T = 2*Voy/(g*sin( α ))

  • α = 0º , sinα=0

The particle goes totally horizontal, goes away indefinitely

T total= 2*Voy/(g*sin( α )) ≅∞

  • α = 90º, sinα=1

T total=2*Voy/g

How can energy be converted from one form to another?
Ket [755]
By heat or change in matter,
there can be different reactions that create heat (like exothermic or endothermic reactions)
or movement can give off energy too,
energy is basically just heat

With what tension must a rope with length 3.00 mm and mass 0.105 kgkg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 HzHz t
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

the tension of the rope is 34.95 N

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 3 m

mass of the rope, m = 0.105 kg

frequency of the wave, f = 40 Hz

wavelength of the wave, λ = 0.79 m

Let the tension of the rope = T

The speed of the wave is given as;

v = f\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\where;\\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length\\\\\mu  = \frac{0.105}{3} = 0.035 \ kg/m\\\\v = f\lambda = 40 \times 0.79 = 31.6 \ m/s\\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\T = v^2 \mu\\\\T = (31.6^2)(0.035)\\\\T = 34.95 \ N

Therefore, the tension of the rope is 34.95 N
