<h2>Well Formatted Question:</h2>

The electric potential at points in an xy plane is given by V = (2.0 V/m²)x² - (3.5 V/m²)y². What are:

(a) the magnitude of the electric field at the point (4.1 m, 2.8 m) and;

(b) the angle that the field there makes with the positive x direction.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 25.56 V/m

(b) 129.92°

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

Write the electric potential in vector form as follows;

V = (2.0)x² i  - (3.5)y² j              ------------------(i)

Where;

i and j are unit vectors in the x and y direction respectively

The electric field (E) is given as the negative derivative of electric potential (V) with respect to x and y as follows;

E = - derivative [V]

E = - ([2 * 2.0x] i - [2 * 3.5 y] j )

E = - (4.0x i - 7.0y j )

E = - 4.0x i + 7.0y j        -----------------------------(ii)

Now to get the electric field at point (4.1m, 2.8m), substitute the values of x = 4.1m and y = 2.8m into equation (ii) as follows;

E = -4.0(4.1) i + 7.0(2.8) j

E = - 16.4i + 19.6j        ---------------------(iii)

The magnitude of E ( | E |) is calculated as follows;

| E | = \sqrt{(-16.4)^2 + (19.6)^2}

| E | = \sqrt{(268.96 + 384.16)}

| E | = \sqrt{(653.12)}

| E | = 25.56V/m

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is 25.56V/m

(b) The direction, θ, of the electric field is given as

tan θ = (-19.6 / 16.4)

tan θ = - 1.195

θ = tan⁻¹ (-1.195)

θ = -50.08°

The negative sign shows that it is measured with respect to the -x axis.

To get the equivalent as measured with respect to the +ve axis, note that from equation (iii), it is evident that the electric field is at -i and +j counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

Therefore, add 180° to -50.08° to measure the direction counterclockwise from the positive x direction as follows;

true angle = 180°  - 50.08° = 129.92°

Therefore the angle that the field makes with the positive x axis is 129.92°

A slingshot can project a pebble at a speed as high as 38.0 m/s. (a) If air resistance can be ignored, how high (in m) would a p
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

73.67 m

Explanation:

If projected straight up, we can work in 1 dimension, and we can use the following kinematic equations:

y(t) = y_0 + V_0 * t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2

V(t) = V_0 + a * t,

Where y_0 its our initial height, V_0  our initial speed, a the acceleration and t the time that has passed.

For our problem, the initial height its 0 meters, our initial speed its 38.0 m/s, the acceleration its the gravitational one ( g = 9.8 m/s^2), and the time its uknown.

We can plug this values in our equations, to obtain:

y(t) =  38 \frac{m}{s} * t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2

V(t) = 38 \frac{m}{s} - g * t

note that the acceleration point downwards, hence the minus sign.

Now, in the highest point, velocity must be zero, so, we can grab our second equation, and write:

0 m = 38 \frac{m}{s} - g * t

and obtain:

t = 38 \frac{m}{s} / g

t = 38 \frac{m}{s} / 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2}

t = 3.9 s

Plugin this time on our first equation we find:

y = 38 \frac{m}{s} * 3.9 s - \frac{1}{2} 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} (3.9 s)^2

y=73.67 m

Knowing that a 0.90-kg object weighs 9.0 N , find the acceleration of a 0.90-kg stone in free fall . Express your answer to two
sasho [114]

Answer:

The value of acceleration of a stone in free fall is 10\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the object, m = 0.9 kg

Weight of the object, W = 9 N

We need to find the acceleration of a stone in free fall. The weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is the acceleration of the stone in free fall

So, g=\dfrac{W}{m}

g=\dfrac{9\ N}{0.9\ kg}

g=10\ m/s^2

So, the value of acceleration of a stone in free fall is 10\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
