Space scientists have a large test chamber from which all the air can be evacuated and in which they can create a horizontal uni

form electric field. The electric field exerts a constant hor-izontal force on a charged object. A 15 g charged projectile is launched with a speed of 6.0 m/s at an angle 35° above the hori-zontal. It lands 2.9 m in front of the launcher. What is the magni-tude of the electric force on the projectile?

Answer:

Magnitude of electric force = 0.03345 N

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass; m = 15g = 0.015kg

Angle above horizontal; θ = 35°

Speed; v = 6 m/s

Horizontal displacement; d = 2.9m

Now formula for time of flight is given as;

time of flight; t = (2Vsinθ)/g

Thus, plugging in values, we have

t = (2 x 6.0 x sin35)/9.8

t = (12 x 0.5736)/9.8

t = 0.7024 s

Now, let's find the acceleration

The formula for horizontal displacement is given by;

d = (Vcosθ)t + (1/2)at²

Plugging in the relevant values ;

2.9 = [6(cos35) x 0.7024] + (1/2)a(0.7024)²

2.9 = (4.2144 x 0.8192) + (0.2467)a

2.9 = 3.45 + (0.2467)a

(0.2467)a = 2.9 - 3.45

a = -0.55/0.2467

a = -2.23 m/s²

Since we are looking for the magnitude of the electric force, we will take the absolute value of a. Thus, a = 2.23 m/s²

We know that F = ma

Thus,Force = 0.015kg x 2.23m/s² =

= 0.03345 N

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Valentin [98]

Answer:

0.2448 point²

Explanation:

1 gry = 1/10 line

1 line = 1/12 inch

=> 1 gry in inches = 1/10 * 1/12 = 1/120 inch

=> 1 inch = 120 gry

1 point = 1/72 inch

=> 1 inch = 72 points

Therefore,

120 gry = 72 points

=> 1 gry = 3/5 point

Therefore,

1 gry² = (3/5)² point²

1 gry² = 9/25 point²

This means that 0.68 gry² will be:

0.68 gry² = 0.68 * 9/25 point²

=> 0.68 gry² = 0.2448 point²

a ball of mass 100g moving at a velocity of 100m/s collides with another ball of mass 400g moving at 50m/s in same direction, if

klio [65]

Answer:

Velocity of the two balls after collision: $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

$100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost.

Explanation:

<h3>Velocity</h3>

Because the question asked about energy, convert all units to standard units to keep the calculation simple:

Mass of the first ball: $100\; \rm g = 0.1\; \rm kg$ .
Mass of the second ball: $400\; \rm g = 0.4 \; \rm kg$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. In other words, this collision is a perfectly inelastic collision. Kinetic energy will not be conserved. The velocity of the two balls after the collision can only be found using the conservation of momentum.

Assume that the system of the two balls is isolated. Thus, the sum of the momentum of the two balls will stay the same before and after the collision.

The momentum of an object of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is: $p = m \cdot v$ .

Momentum of the two balls before collision:

First ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.1\; \rm kg \times 100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .
Second ball: $p = m \cdot v = 0.4\; \rm kg \times 50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} = 20\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .
Sum: $10\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} + 20 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} = 30 \; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ given that the two balls are moving in the same direction.

Based on the assumptions, the sum of the momentum of the two balls after collision should also be $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ . The mass of the two balls, combined, is $0.1\; \rm kg + 0.4\; \rm kg = 0.5\; \rm kg$ . Let the velocity of the two balls after the collision $v\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . (There's only one velocity because the collision had sticked the two balls to each other.)

Momentum after the collision from $p = m \cdot v$ : $(0.5\, v)\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1$ .
Momentum after the collision from the conservation of momentum: $30\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

These two values are supposed to describe the same quantity: the sum of the momentum of the two balls after the collision. They should be equal to each other. That gives the equation about $v$ :

$0.5\, v = 30$ .

$v = 60$ .

In other words, the velocity of the two balls right after the collision should be $60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ .

<h3>Kinetic Energy</h3>

The kinetic energy of an object of mass $m$ and velocity $v$ is $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^{2}$ .

Kinetic energy before the collision:

First ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\; \rm kg \times \left(100\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .
Second ball: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.4\; \rm kg \times \left(50\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^{2} = 500\; \rm J$ .
Sum: $500\; \rm J + 500\; \rm J = 1000\; \rm J$ .

The two balls stick to each other after the collision. Therefore, consider them as a single object when calculating the sum of their kinetic energies.

Mass of the two balls, combined: $0.5\; \rm kg$ .
Velocity of the two balls right after the collision: $60\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}$ .

Sum of the kinetic energies of the two balls right after the collision:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.5\; \rm kg \times \left(60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 = 900\; \rm J$ .

Therefore, $1000\; \rm J - 900\; \rm J = 100\; \rm J$ of kinetic energy would be lost during this collision.

The potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of a square is 3.0 V when a point charge of Q is located at one of the corn

tester [92]

Answer:

12.0 V

Explanation:

Data :

Potential difference due to a single charge (+Q), E = 3.0 V

The Electric potential for the system of charges is given as:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}[\Sigma\frac{Q}{r}]$

for single charge, E = 3.0 V = $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}[\frac{Q}{r}]$ ->eq(1)

And for 4 charges:

$E=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}[4\frac{Q}{r}]$ -eq(2)

from eq(1) and (2) we have

E = 4 × 3.0 V = 12 V
