Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble with this one. The answer I got to was 407.91 but I'm not confident in it.

Answer:

6.20×10⁴ V/m

Explanation:

The magnitude of electric field is:

E = √(Eₓ² + Eᵧ²)

where Eₓ = ∂φ/∂x and Eᵧ = ∂φ/∂y.

φ = 1.11 (x² + y²)^-½ − 429x

Eₓ = -0.555 (x² + y²)^-(³/₂) (2x) − 429

Eᵧ = -0.555 (x² + y²)^-(³/₂) (2y)

Evaluating at (0.003, 0.003):

Eₓ = -44034 V/m

Eᵧ = -43605 V/m

The magnitude is:

E = 61971 V/m

Rounded to three significant figures, the strength of the electric field is 6.20×10⁴ V/m.

What is the mass of a baseball thrown at 25 m/s resulting in a momentum of 10 kg·m/s?

Tresset [83]

Answer: m = 0.4 kg

Explanation: Momentum is the product of mass and velocity also expressed in this equation:

p = m x v

Derive to find m

m = p / v

= 10 kg•m/s / 25 m/s

= 0.4 kg

A roller coaster has a vertical loop with radius 25.7 m. With what minimum speed should the roller-coaster car be moving at the

gogolik [260]

Answer:

15.88m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the roller coaster you will have three forces acting on the roller-coaster. See the image below. Fc is the centripetal force (for an object in circular motion), Fg is the gravitational force, and Fn is the normal force. To achieve the minimum speed we assume the roller-coaster is barely touching the vertical loop and so the normal force is zero. This leaves two acting forces.

$F_g = F_c\\mg = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{9.81 \times 25.7} = 15.88 m/s$
