The net force on the sled is 300 N

Explanation:

First of all, we start by finding the acceleration of the bobsled, by using the suvat equation:

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where:

v = 6.0 m/s is the final velocity of the sled

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s = 4.5 m is the displacement of the sled

Solving for a, we find

$a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}=\frac{6.0^2-0}{2(4.5)}=4 m/s^2$

Now we can find the net force on the sled by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force

m = 75 kg is the mass of the sled

$a=4 m/s^2$ is the acceleration

Solving the equation, we find the net force:

$F=(75)(4)=300 N$

Who is most likely to benefit from use of lithium?

Alexxx [7]

I think that the people who are most likely to benefit from lithium is people with bipolar disorder. Because there have been tests that recently show that they use it for patients with that disease.

A tiny 0.0250 -microgram oil drop containing 15 excess electrons is suspended between to horizontally closely-spaced metal plate

qaws [65]

Answer:

(a) 12 × 10⁻³ C = 12 mC (b) The lower plate

Explanation:

Given

mass of oil drop, m = 0.025 μg = 0.025 × 10⁻⁶

radius of plates, r = 6.50 cm = 6.5 × 10⁻² m

k = 1/4πε₀ = 9.0 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

electric charge, e= 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

charge on oil drop, q = 15e

charge on plates, Q = ?

First, we find the charge density of the plates, D = Q/A where Q = charge on plates and A = area of plates. Since the plates are circular, the area is given by A=πr² where r = radius of plates. D=Q/πr²

Also, the electric field, E between the plates is given by E = D/ε =Q/Aε = Q/ε₀πr².

The force on the oil drop due to the electric field between the plates is given by F = qE = qQ/ε₀πr².

Since the oil drop is suspended between the plates, it means that the electric force due to the field on the oil drop balances the weight of the oil drop. So, since weight of oil drop W = mg where g = 9.8 m/s². F =W (for oil drop suspension).

So, qQ/ε₀πr²=mg

So, Q=mgε₀πr²/q

From k = 1/4πε₀, ε₀=1/4πk

So, Q = mgπr²/4πkq = mgr²/4kq = (0.025 × 10⁻⁶ × 9.8 × (6.5 × 10⁻²)²)÷(4 × 9 × 10⁹ × 15 × 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹)= 0.012 C = 12 mC

(b) The lower plate must be positive because, the direction of the electric field must be upwards, so as to balance out the weight of the oil drop so as to suspend it.

Identify and sketch all the external forces acting on the chair. because the chair can be represented as a point particle of mas

SOVA2 [1]

There are two external force acts on the chair.

1. The force due to earth gravity, acts in the downward direction.

2. Reaction force of the gravity, which acts in the Upward direction (Normal Force).

On every object, there is a force acts due to gravity of earth, which pulls the object towards the centre of earth, known as gravity force, always acts in the downward direction. Mathematically it's given as

F=mg

here, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.

To balance this gravity force, a counter force acts in the opposite direction, whose magnitude is equal to the force of gravity
