Answer:
a)
two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign. both charges are positive(+) or Negative (-)
b)
both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Explanation:
Given that;
L = 0.26 m
k = 180 N/m
x = 0.039 m
a)
we know that two like charges always repel each other while two unlike charges attract each other. Since the spring stretches by 0.039 m, the charges have the same sign.
b)
Spring force F = kx
F = 180 × 0.039
F = 7.02 N
Now, Electrostatic force F = Keq²/r²
where r = L + x = ( 0.26 + 0.039 )
we know that proportionality constant in electrostatics equations Ke = 9×10⁹ kg⋅m3⋅s−2⋅C−2
so from the equation; F = Keq²/r²
Fr² = Keq²
q = √ ( Fr² / Ke )
we substitute
q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )
q = √ ( 7.02 N × ( 0.26 + 0.039 )² / 9×10⁹ )
q = √ (0.627595 / 9×10⁹)
q = √(6.97 × 10⁻¹¹)
q = 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Therefore both q1 and q1 are 8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C or -8.35 × 10⁻⁶ C
Answer:
the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.537m/s and 66.52⁰ below horizontal
Explanation:
initial veetical speed V₀y=0
Horizontal speed Vx = Vx₀= 3.80m/s
Vertical drop height= 3.90m
Let Vy = vertical speed when it got to the water downward.
g= 9.81m/s² = acceleration due to gravity
From kinematics equation of motion for vertical drop
Vy²= V₀y² +2 gh
Vy²= 0 + ( 2× 9.8 × 3.90)
Vy= √76.518
Vy=8.747457
Then we can calculate the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water using Resultant speed formula below
V= √Vy² + Vx²
V=√3.80² + 8.747457²
V=9.537m/s
The angle can also be calculated as
θ=tan⁻¹(Vy/Vx)
tan⁻¹( 8.747457/3.80)
=66.52⁰
the velocity of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water is 9.537m/s and 66.52⁰ below horizontal
Answer:
(a) the force is 8.876 N
(b) the magnitude of each charge is 4.085 μC
Explanation:
Part (a)
Given;
coulomb's constant, K = 8.99 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²
distance between two charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m
force between the two charges, F = 15 N
when the distance between the charges changes to 13 cm (0.13 m)
force between the two charges, F = ?
Apply Coulomb's law;
Part (b)
the magnitude of each charge, if they have equal magnitude
where;
F is the force between the charges
K is Coulomb's constant
Q is the charge
r is the distance between the charges
Answer:
1. Acceleration
Explanation:
Newtons Second law gives the measure of acceleration
Answer:
a) If we apply pressure to a fluid in a sealed container, the pressure will be felt undiminished at every point in the fluid and on the walls of the container.
Explanation:
Pascal´s Principle can be applied in the hydraulic press:
If we apply a small force (F1) on a small area piston A1, then, a pressure (P) is generated that is transmitted equally to all the particles of the liquid until it reaches a larger area piston and therefore a force (F2) can be exerted that is proportional to the area(A2) of the piston.
P=F/A
P1=P2
F1/ A1= F2/ A2
F2= F1* A2/ A1
The pressure acting on one side is transmitted to all the molecules of the liquid because the liquid is incompressible.
In an incompressible liquid, the volume and amount of mass does not vary when pressure is applied.
