Answer:

a)  E = -4 10² N / C , b) x = 0.093 m, c)     a = 10.31 m / s², θ=-71.9⁰

Explanation:

For that exercise we use Newton's second Law, in the attached we can see a free body diagram of the ball

X axis

             F_{e} - T_{x} = m a

Axis y

            T_{y} - W = 0

Initially the system is in equilibrium, so zero acceleration

            Fe = T_{x}  

            T_{y} = W

Let us search with trigonometry the components of the tendency

            cos θ = T_{y} / T

            sin θ = T_{x}  / T

           T_{y} = cos θ

           T_{x}  = T sin θ

We replace

            q E = T sin θ

            mg = T cosθ

             

a) the electric force is

                F_{e} = q E

                E = F_{e} / q

                E = -0.032 / 80 10⁻⁶

                E = -4 10² N / C

b) the distance to this point can be found by dividing the two equations

                q E / mg = tan θ

                θ = tan⁻¹ qE / mg

Let's calculate

              θ = tan⁻¹ (80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01 9.8)

              θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3265

               θ = 18 ⁰

               sin 18 = x/0.30

               x =0.30 sin 18

               x = 0.093 m

c) The rope is cut, two forces remain acting on the ball, on the x-axis the electric force and on the axis and the force gravitations

X axis

           F_{e} = m aₓ

            aₓ = q E / m

           aₓ = 80 10⁻⁶ 4 10² / 0.01

           aₓ = 3.2 m / s²

Axis y

           W = m a_{y}

           a_{y} = g

           a_{y} = 9.8 m/s²

The total acceleration is can be found using Pythagoras' theorem

             a = √ aₓ² + a_{y}²

             a = √ 3.2² + 9.8²

             a = 10.31 m / s²

The Angle meet him with trigonometry

               tan θ = a_{y} / aₓ

               θ = tan⁻¹ a_{y} / aₓ

               θ = tan⁻¹ (-9.8) / 3.2

               θ = -71.9⁰

Movement is two-dimensional type with acceleration in both axes

An object with a mass of 20 kg has a net force of 80 N acting on it. What is the acceleration of the object?
alexdok [17]
Newton's 2nd law of motion says

                   Net force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Plug in the things you know, and you have

                   80 N  =  (20 kg) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (20 kg) :

                  80N / 20kg  =  acceleration

                   acceleration  =  4 m/s²

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

Both trailer sway control, hill assist and hill descent controls are additional featires that enhance stability of electronics and their control systems. Majorly, these features track and reduce skidding in electronics, therfore, enhancing electronic system stability. During the process, these newly added features help to automatically apply brakes and direct the sytem where the controller wants to take it.
