How does Newton's second law apply to an "Egg Drop" experiment?

Because an object in rest stays in rest until an unequal force pushes it so gravity is pushing on the egg making it drop

The equation r (t )=(2t + 4)⋅i + (√ 7 )t⋅ j + 3t ²⋅k the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the v

velikii [3]

Answer:

$\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}$

Explanation:

We should first find the velocity and acceleration functions. The velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time, and the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time.

$\vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}(t)}{dt} = (2)\^i + (\sqrt{7})\^j + (6t)\^k$

Similarly,

$\vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}(t)}{dt} = (6)\^k$

Now, the angle between velocity and acceleration vectors can be found.

The angle between any two vectors can be found by scalar product of them:

$\vec{A}.\vec{B} = |\vec{A}|.|\vec{B}|.\cos(\theta)$

So,

$\vec{v}(t).\vec{a}(t) = |\vec{v}(t)|.|\vec{a}(t)|.\cos(\theta)\\36t = \sqrt{4 + 7 + 36t^2}.6.\cos(\theta)$

At time t = 0, this equation becomes

$0 = 6\sqrt{11}\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta) = 0\\\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}$

Will the positioning of your Slinky along the east-west, north-south, or some other orientation affect your readings? Why?

Oxana [17]

Positioning your Slinky along any direction different from its initial position will affect your reading, because there will be change in the magnetic field.

<h3>Effect of magnet on Slinky</h3>

If the Slinky is made of an iron alloy, it can be magnetized by itself. Moving the Slinky around can cause a change in the magnetic field, even if no current is flowing.

When there is a change in the magnetic field, the reading changes.

At any point, you change the orientation of the Slinky, you will need to zero the reading or adjust the Slinky back to its initial position, even if the sensor does not move.

Thus, Positioning your Slinky along any direction that is different to its initial position will affect your reading because there will be change in the magnetic field.

What is the wavelength of a radar signal that has a frequency of 27 GHz? The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. Answer in units of m

marusya05 [52]

Explanation:

speed of light= c

wave length= L

frequency= f

c=Lf → L= c/f → L= 3 × 10⁸/ 27 × 10⁹ → L = 1/90 ≈ 0.011 m

There are two parallel conductive plates separated by a distance d and zero potential. Calculate the potential and electric fiel

taurus [48]

Answer:

The total electric potential at mid way due to 'q' is $\frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

The net Electric field at midway due to 'q' is 0.

Solution:

According to the question, the separation between two parallel plates, plate A and plate B (say) = d

The electric potential at a distance d due to 'Q' is:

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d}$

Now, for the Electric potential for the two plates A and B at midway between the plates due to 'q':

For plate A,

$V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Similar is the case with plate B:

$V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{\frac{d}{2}}$

Since the electric potential is a scalar quantity, the net or total potential is given as the sum of the potential for the two plates:

$V_{total} = V_{A} + V_{B} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.q(\frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}} + \frac{1}{\frac{d}{2}}$

$V_{total} = \frac{q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}d}$

Now,

The Electric field due to charge Q at a distance is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{Q}{d^{2}}$

Now, if the charge q is mid way between the field, then distance is $\frac{d}{2}$ .

Electric Field at plate A, $\vec{E_{A}}$ at midway due to charge q:

$\vec{E_{A}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Similarly, for plate B:

$\vec{E_{B}} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}}.\frac{q}{(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

Both the fields for plate A and B are due to charge 'q' and as such will be equal in magnitude with direction of fields opposite to each other and hence cancels out making net Electric field zero.
