Answer:

x coordinate = -1.66 m

y coordinate is = -0.825m

Explanation:

Suppose z be the distance form the first charge and z + sqrt(1^2 +.5^2) be the distance from the second So z + sqrt(1+.25) = z + 1.12

We have k*2.0x10^-6/s^2 = k*6x10^-6/(s+1.12)^2

0.0356s^2 -0.019s-0.0897=0  

s=1.876m

The angle of the line between the two charges is arctan(.5/1) = 26.6o

x coordinate = -1.876*cos(26.6) = -1.66m

y coordinate is -1.876*sin(26.6) = -0.825m

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a. ac = 1844.66 m/s²

b. Fc = 265.63 N

Explanation:

a.

The centripetal acceleration of the ball is given as follows:

ac = v²/r

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = speed of ball = (87 mph)(1 h/ 3600 s)(1609.34 m / 1 mile) = 38.9 m/s

r = radius of path = 82 cm = 0.82 m

Therefore,

ac = (38.9 m/s)²/0.82 m  

<u>ac = 1844.66 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

b.

The centripetal force is given as:

Fc = (m)(ac)

Fc = (0.144 kg)(1844.66 m/s²)

<u>Fc = 265.63 N</u>

the half-life of iodine-131 is 8.1 days. how much time had passed if i only have one-fourth of the original sample?​
morpeh [17]

Answer:

16.2 days

Explanation:

Find the number of halflives:

1/2   *  1/2 =  1/4     so <u>two</u>   halflives have passed

   2 * 8.1 days = 16.2 days

HELPPP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
marishachu [46]

Explanation:

Thermal energy is basically the energy derived from heat when there is a temperature change in a body.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

Potential energy is the energy at rest or due to the position of a body.

  • Thermal energy is highly related to kinetic and potential energy.
  • Thermal energy is a type of kinetic energy because it causes the motion of the particles in a body.
  • An increase in thermal energy gives the particles more energy to move and then, their kinetic energy increases.
  • Kinetic energy is directly related to thermal energy.
  • A low thermal energy increases the potential energy in a body.
  • A body at rest will exert its maximum potential energy.

If 0.600 mol of a nonvolatile nonelectrolyte are dissolved in 3.70 mol of water, what is the vapor pressure ph2o of the resultin
fredd [130]

To get the vapor pressure of the resulting solution, we use the Raoult’s Law:

Psolution = (χsolvent) (P°solvent)

 

1st: Calculate the mol fraction of the solvent. In this case, water is the solvent.

χsolvent = 3.7 mol / (3.7 mol + 0.6 mol)

χsolvent = 0.86

<span>2nd: Calculate the vapor pressure.</span>

Psolution = (0.86) (23.8 torr)

Psolution<span> = 20.48 torr</span>

A point charge of -4.28 pC is fixed on the y-axis, 2.79 mm from the origin. What is the electric field produced by this charge a
makkiz [27]

Answer:

E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C

magnitude E = 3.75N/C

Explanation:

In order to calculate the electric field at the point P, you use the following formula, which takes into account the components of the electric field vector:

\vec{E}=-k\frac{q}{r^2}cos\theta\ \hat{i}+k\frac{q}{r^2}sin\theta\ \hat{j}\\\\\vec{E}=k\frac{q^2}{r}[-cos\theta\ \hat{i}+sin\theta\ \hat{j}]              (1)

Where the minus sign means that the electric field point to the charge.

k: Coulomb's constant = 8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2

q = -4.28 pC = -4.28*10^-12C

r: distance to the charge from the point P

The point P is at the point (0,9.83mm)

θ: angle between the electric field vector and the x-axis

The angle is calculated as follow:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{2.79mm}{9.83mm})=74.15\°

The distance r is:

r=\sqrt{(2.79mm)^2+(9.83mm)^2}=10.21mm=10.21*10^{-3}m

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\vec{E}=(8.98*10^9Nm^2/C^2)\frac{4.28*10^{-12}C}{(10.21*10^{-3}m)}[-cos(15.84\°)\hat{i}+sin(15.84\°)\hat{j}]\\\\\vec{E}=(-3.61\hat{i}+1.02\hat{j})\frac{N}{C}\\\\|\vec{E}|=\sqrt{(3.61)^2+(1.02)^2}\frac{N}{C}=3.75\frac{N}{C}

The electric field is E = (-3.61^i+1.02^j) N/C with a a magnitude of 3.75N/C
