(0.25 m, 0); sphere C with mass 0.20 kg is located in the first quadrant 0.20 m from A and 0.15 m from B. In unit-vector notation, what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Answer:

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N  

Explanation:

Given:-

- The masses and the position coordinates from ( 0 , 0 ) are:

       Sphere A : ma = 80 kg , ( 0 , 0 )

       Sphere B : ma = 60 kg , ( 0.25 , 0 )

       Sphere C : ma = 0.2 kg , ra = 0.2 m , rb = 0.15

- The gravitational constant G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Find:-

what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Solution:-

- The gravitational force between spheres is given by:

                       F = G*m1*m2 / r^2

Where, r : The distance between two bodies (sphere).

- The vector (rac and rbc) denote the position of sphere C from spheres A and B:-

 Determine the angle (α) between vectors rac and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{rab^2 + rac^2 - rbc^2}{2*rab*rac} \\\\cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.2^2 - 0.15^2}{2*0.25*0.2}\\\\cos ( \alpha ) = 0.8\\\\\alpha = 36.87^{\circ \:}

 Determine the angle (β) between vectors rbc and rab using cosine rule:

                   cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{rab^2 + rbc^2 - rac^2}{2*rab*rbc} \\\\cos ( \beta  ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.15^2 - 0.2^2}{2*0.25*0.15}\\\\cos ( \beta  ) = 0.6\\\\\beta  = 53.13^{\circ \:}

- Now determine the scalar gravitational forces due to sphere A and B on C:

       Between sphere A and C:

                  Fac = G*ma*mc / rac^2

                  Fac = (6.674×10−11)*80*0.2 / 0.2^2  

                  Fac = 2.67*10^-8 N

                  vector Fac = Fac* [ - cos (α) i + - sin (α) j ]

                  vector Fac = 2.67*10^-8* [ - cos (36.87°) i + -sin (36.87°) j ]

                  vector Fac = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 N

       Between sphere B and C:

                  Fbc = G*mb*mc / rbc^2

                  Fbc = (6.674×10−11)*60*0.2 / 0.15^2  

                  Fbc = 3.56*10^-8 N

                  vector Fbc = Fbc* [ cos (β) i - sin (β) j ]

                  vector Fbc = 3.56*10^-8* [ cos (53.13°) i - sin (53.13°) j ]

                  vector Fbc = [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8 N

- The Net gravitational force can now be determined from vector additon of Fac and Fbc:

                  Fc = vector Fac + vector Fbc

                  Fc = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8  + [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8

                  Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N

A student drops an egg from the roof of their house onto a trampoline. The egg feels a change in momentum of 2.2 kg^ * m/s in 1.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

F = m a = m v / t       where v is the change in velocity in time t

F = p / t       since m v is equal to p

F = 2.2 (kg m / s) / 1.1 s = 2 kg-m / s^2 = 2 N

Or you can use the impulse equation

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are 146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C and 75.36°.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge q_{1}= 2.9\mu C

Second chargeq_{2}= 2.9\mu C

Distance between two corners r= 50 cm

We need to calculate the electric field due to other charges at one corner

For E₁

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r'^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\sqrt{2}\times10^{-2})^2}

E_{1}=52200=52.2\times10^{3}\ N/C

For E₂,

Using formula of electric field

E_{1}=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{2}=\dfrac{9\times10^{9}\times2.9\times10^{-6}}{(50\times10^{-2})^2}

E_{2}=104400=104.4\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the horizontal electric field

E_{x}=E_{1}\cos\theta

E_{x}=52.2\times10^{3}\times\cos45

E_{x}=36910.97=36.9\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the vertical electric field

E_{y}=E_{2}+E_{1}\sin\theta

E_{y}=104.4\times10^{3}+52.2\times10^{3}\sin45

E_{y}=141310.97=141.3\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the net electric field

E_{net}=\sqrt{E_{x}^2+E_{y}^2}

Put the value into the formula

E_{net}=\sqrt{(36.9\times10^{3})^2+(141.3\times10^{3})^2}

E_{net}=146038.69\ N/C

E_{net}=146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C

We need to calculate the direction of electric field

Using formula of direction

\tan\theta=\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}}

\theta=\tan^{-1}(\dfrac{141.3\times10^{3}}{36.9\times10^{3}})

\theta=75.36^{\circ}

Hence, The magnitude of the electric field and direction of electric field are 146.03\times10^{3}\ N/C and 75.36°.

In magazine car tests an important indicator of performance is the zero to 60 mph (0 to 96.6 km/h) acceleration time. A time bel
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

2.73414 seconds

467622.66798 J

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

v=60\times \dfrac{1609.34}{3600}=26.822\ m/s

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{26.822^2}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=36.66766\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 36.66766=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{36.66766\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s

or

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{26.822-0}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow t=2.73414\ s

The time taken is 2.73414 seconds

The potential energy is given by

U=mgh\\\Rightarrow U=1300\times 9.81\times 36.66766\\\Rightarrow U=467622.66798\ J

The change in potential energy is 467622.66798 J

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

¹/₃₈₇ second

Explanation:

<em>The period of a wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.</em>

So, simply, the frequency is ¹/₃₈₇ second(s), as that is the reciprocal of the frequency, 387 Hz.
