The total electric field consists of the vector sum of two parts. One part has a magnitude of E1 = 1300 N/C and points at an ang

le θ1 = 35o above the +x axis. The other part has a magnitude of E2 = 1700 N/C and points at an angle θ2 = 55o above the +x axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the total field. Specify the directional angle relative to the x axis.

Answer:

2954.6 N/C, 46.36 degree from positive  axis

Explanation:

E1 = 1300 N/C, θ1 = 35 degree

E2 = 1700 N/C, θ2 = 55 degree

Now write the electric fields in vector form

E1 = 1300 ( Cos 35 i + Sin 35 j) = 1064.9 i + 745.6 j

E2 = 1700 ( Cos 55 i + Sin 55 j) = 975.08 i + 1392.6 j

Resultant electric field

E = E1 + E2

E =  1064.9 i + 745.6 j + 975.08 i + 1392.6 j

E = 2039.08 i + 2138.2 j

Magnitude of E

E = sqrt (2039.08^2 + 2138.2^2)

E = 2954.6 N/C

Let it makes an angle Φ from X axis

tan Φ = 2138.2 / 2039.08 = 1.049

Φ = 46.36 degree from positive X axis.

David lifts a book 1.2 meters from the floor to the top of his desk. If the book weighed 0.50 kg, what is the gravitational pote
Anika [276]

Answer:

5.886 J

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the book is, m=0.5 kg

Height of lift is, \Delta h=1.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.81 m/s²

Now, gain in gravitational potential energy is a function of change in position and is given as:

\Delta PE=mg\Delta h

Here, \Delta PE is the change in gravitational potential energy.

Plug in 0.5 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 1.2 for \Delta h. Solve for \Delta PE

\Delta PE=0.50\times 9.81\times 1.2=5.886\ J

Therefore, the gain in gravitational energy of the book is 5.886 J.

Explain why sliding friction is less than stactic friction
Alik [6]

Answer:

here it is...

Explanation:

The friction between the two surfaces is because of the interlocking of the irregularities of the two surfaces. During sliding, contact points do not get enough time to get interlocked properly. Therefore, less friction. ... This explains why sliding friction is less than static friction.

Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is totravel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measuredby a
Eva8 [605]

Answer: 0.999959 c

Explanation:  

According to the special relativity theory, time is measured differently by two observers moving one relative another, according to the Lorentz Transform Equation, as follows:

t = t’ / t=t^'/√(1-(v)2/c2 )

where t= time for the moving observer (relative to the spacecraft, fixed on Earth) = 110 years.

t’= time for the observer at rest respect from spacecraft = 1 year

v= spacecraft constant speed

c= speed of light

Solving for v, with a six decimals precision as a multiple of c, we get:

v = 0.999959 c

5) State whether the following waves are transverse, longitudinal, or both. Also, for each, identify the medium that moves as th
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

<h2>sound :</h2>

a longitudinal wave the particle displacement is parallel to the direction of wave propagation. The animation at right shows a one-dimensional longitudinal plane wave propagating down a tube. The particles do not move down the tube with the wave; they simply oscillate back and forth about their individual equilibrium positions. Pick a single particle and watch its motion. The wave is seen as the motion of the compressed region (ie, it is a pressure wave), which moves from left to right.

The second animation at right shows the difference between the oscillatory motion of individual particles and the propagation of the wave through the medium. The animation also identifies the regions of compression and rarefaction.

The P waves (Primary waves) in an earthquake are examples of Longitudinal waves. The P waves travel with the fastest velocity and are the first to arrive.

Explanation:

<h2>earthquakes :</h2>

In a transverse wave the particle displacement is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. The animation below shows a one-dimensional transverse plane wave propagating from left to right. The particles do not move along with the wave; they simply oscillate up and down about their individual equilibrium positions as the wave passes by. Pick a single particle and watch its motion.

The S waves (Secondary waves) in an earthquake are examples of Transverse waves. S waves propagate with a velocity slower than P waves, arriving several seconds later.

<h2>oceans :</h2>

Water waves are an example of waves that involve a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions. As a wave travels through the waver, the particles travel in clockwise circles. The radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases. The animation at right shows a water wave travelling from left to right in a region where the depth of the water is greater than the wavelength of the waves. I have identified two particles in orange to show that each particle indeed travels in a clockwise circle as the wave passes.
