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

Because of interstellar dust, astronomers can see at most about 5 kpc into the disk of the galaxy at visual wavelengths. What pe
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

96%

Explanation

Let A the total area of the galaxy, is modeled as a disc:

A = πR^2 = π (25 kpc)^2

And let a be the area that astronomers are able to see:

a = πr^2 = π(5 kpc)^2

The percentage that can be seen is equal to 100 times the ratio of the areas, of the galaxy and the "visible" part:

P = 100 a/A = (5/25)^2 = 100/25 = 4%

Therefore, the percentage of the galaxy not included, i.e. not seen is:

(100-4)% = 96%

A woman of mass 50 kg is swimming with a velocity of 1.6 m/s. If she stops stroking and glides to a stop in the water, what is t
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Impulse of force = -80 Ns

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass = 50kg

Initial velocity = 1.6m/s

Since she glides to a stop, her final velocity equals to zero (0).

Now, we would find the change in velocity.

Change \; in \; velocity = final \; velocity - initial \; velocity

Substituting into the equation above;

Change in velocity = 0 - 1.6 = 1.6m/s

Impulse \; of \; force = mass * change \; in \; velocity

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse \; of \; force = 50 * -1.6

<em>Impulse of force = -80 Ns</em>

<em>Therefore, the impulse of the force that stops her is -80 Newton-seconds and it has a negative value because it is working in an opposite direction, thus, bringing her to a stop. </em>

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time (\Delta t)

I=F \Delta t

Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):

I=(ma) \Delta t

However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity (\Delta v) and the contact time (\Delta t): a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, so the previous equation becomes

I=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t

And by simplifying \Delta t,

I=m \Delta v

which corresponds to the change in momentum of the object.
