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

A 2kg mass is moving at 3m/s. What is its kinetic energy?
Illusion [34]
<h2><u>KINETIC ENERGY</u></h2>

<h3>Problem:</h3>

» A 2kg mass is moving at 3m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

<h3>Answer:</h3>
  • \color{hotpink} \bold{9 \: J} \\

— — — — — — — — — —

<h3>Formula:</h3>

To calculate the velocity of a kinetic energy, we can use formula

  • \underline{ \boxed{  \tt KE =  \frac{1}{2} m{v}^{2}  } }

where,

  • v is the velocity in m/s
  • KE is the kinetic energy in J (joules)
  • m is the mass in kg

— — —

Based on the problem, the givens are:

  • KE (Kinetic energy) = ? (unknown)
  • m (mass) = 2 kg
  • v (velocity) = 3 m/s

<h3>Solution:</h3>

To get the velocity, substitute the givens in the formula above then solve.

\:   \: \tt KE =  \frac{1}{2} m{v}^{2}   \\ \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:   \: \tt \:   KE =  \frac{1}{2} \times  2 \times {(3)}^{2}  \\ \tt  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  KE =  \frac{1}{2}  \times(2\times 9) \\ \tt  KE =  \underline{ \boxed{ \blue{ \tt9 \: J}}}

Therefore, the kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

What are the average velocity and average acceleration of the tip of a 2.4 cm long hour hand of a clock?
ra1l [238]
A circle has a revolution of 360°. Since there are 12 hour markings, each hour interval has an angle of 30°. In radians, that would be equal to π/6 radians. So, in every 1 hour that passes, it covers π/6 of an angle. So, the angular velocity denoted as ω is π/6 ÷ 1 hour = π/6 rad/h. We can compute the average linear velocity, v, from the relationship:

v = rω, where r is the radius of the circle which is the length of the hour hand
v = (2.4 cm)(π/6 rad/h)
v = 1.257 cm/hour

Therefore, the average velocity is 1.257 cm per hour.

For the average acceleration, it is equal to zero. The hands of the clock move at a constant velocity. Since acceleration is the change of velocity per unit time, there is no change of velocity because it's constant. That's why it is zero.
