Answer:

$a_x = 0$

Explanation:

When projectile is in air then the force on the projectile is only due to its weight

It is vertically downwards

$F_g = mg(-\hat j)$

so here since we don't have any air drag or friction due to air so there will be no force along its tangent or along x direction

so the acceleration along x direction will be zero

$a_x = 0$

$a_y = - g$

Without air resistance, there is no horizontal force on the projectile,
so it has no horizontal acceleration. The answer is "zero".

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 3 kg ball that is 1 meter above the floor?

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

PE=mgh

M= Mass (kg)

G= Gravitational field strength (N/kg)

H= Hight (m)

PE= Gravitational Potential Energy (J)

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy is the energy stored in a object due to its position above the Earth's surface.

A 1.0-μm-diameter oil droplet (density 900 kg/m3) is negatively charged with the addition of 39 extra electrons. It is released

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$6.75\mu C/m^2$

Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter,d= $1\mu m=1\time 10^{-6} m$

$1\mu m=10^{-6} m$

Radius,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\times 10^{-6}=0.5 \times 10^{-6} m$

Density, $\rho=900kg/m^3$

Total number of electrons,n=39

Charge on electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19} C$

Total charge= $q=ne=39\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}=62.4\times 10^{-19} C$

Distance,s=2mm= $2\times 10^{-3} m$

Mass = $density\times volume=900\times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=900\times \frac{4}{3}\pi(0.5\times 10^{-6})^3=4.7\times 10^{-16} kg$

Initial velocity,u=0

Final speed,v=4.5 m/s

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$(4.5)^2-0=2a(2\times 10^{-3})$

$20.25=4a\times 10^{-3}$

$a=\frac{20.25}{4\times 10^{-3}}=5062.5m/s^2$

Force,F=ma

$qE=ma$

$q(\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0})=ma$

$\sigma=\frac{2\epsilon_0ma}{q}=\frac{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 4.7\times 10^{-16}\times 5062.5}{62.4\times 10^{-19}}$

$\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$\sigma=6.75\times 10^{-6}C/m^2=6.75\mu C/m^2$

according to newton's third law, when a horse pulls on a cart, the cart pulls back on the horse with an equal force on the horse

Debora [2.8K]

Based on Newton's principle, whenever objects A and B interact with each other, they exert forces upon each other.

When a horse pulls on a cart, the horse exerts a force only to the cart. But that force applies only to the cart, not to the horse.

The cart in turn exerts a force on the horse. But that force applies only to the horse, not the cart also.

There are two forces resulting from this interaction - a force on the horse and a force on the cart. The net force on the cart remains as it was --- a positive force in the direction of the horse's movement. Therefore, the cart begins to accelerate and move.
