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

The patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20 deg angle 3 cm from the axis of rotation at the knee. If the force generated i
gregori [183]

Answer:

the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

force generated in the patellar tendon F = 400 N

patellar tendon attaches to the tibia at a 20° angle 3 cm( 0.03 m ) from the axis of rotation at the knee.

so Torque produced by the knee will be;

T = F × d⊥

T = 400 N × 0.03 m × sin( 20° )

T = 400 N × 0.03 m × 0.342

T = 4.104 N.m

Now, we determine the moment of inertia of the knee

I = mk²

given that; the lower leg and foot have a combined mass of 4.2kg and a given radius of gyration of 25 cm ( 0.25 m )

we substitute

I = 4.2 kg × ( 0.25 m )²

I = 4.2 kg × 0.0626 m²

I = 0.2625 kg.m²

So from the relation of Moment of inertia, Torque and angular acceleration;

T = I∝

we make angular acceleration ∝, subject of the formula

∝ = T / I

we substitute

∝ = 4.104 / 0.2625

∝ = 15.65 rad/s²

Therefore, the resulting angular acceleration is 15.65 rad/s²

Should the shape of an object be considered a property of the material?

No
For example a rock was broken into one big and one little piece. The properties of these 2 pieces are still the same even though they have different shapes.

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)

If two stars are the same size and one is twice the temperature of the other, how much more luminous is the hotter one? quizlit
Dmitriy789 [7]
The hotter star will be 16 times more luminous  - luminosity depends on two things  - the size of the star and the temperature of the star. The hotter a star is, the more energy it will give out. This will give rise to greater luminosity.
