Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -34 μC at y1 = +0.18 m and a positive point charge q2 ar

t y2 = +0.33 m. A third point charge q = +8.1 μC is fixed at the origin. The net electrostatic force exerted on the charge q by the other two charges has a magnitude of 31 N and points in the +y direction. Determine the magnitude of q2.

Answer:

Explanation:

Field by negative charge will be more as net force due to both the charges is in positive y - direction.

field by negative charge at origin

= 9 x 10⁹ x 34 x 10⁻⁶ / .18²

= 9.45 x 10⁶ N /C

field by positive charge at origin

= 9 x 10⁹ x Q / .33²

= 82644.63 x 10⁶ Q N /C

Net field

= 9.45 x 10⁶ - 82644.63 x 10⁶ Q

force on charge 8.1 x 10⁻⁶ C

( 9.45 x 10⁶ - 82644.63 x 10⁶ Q ) X 8.1 x 10⁻⁶ = 31

76.545 - 669421.5 Q = 31

669421.5 Q = 45.545

Q = 45.545 / 669421.5

= 68 X 10⁻⁶ C

= 68 μC

You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 19 m

posledela

Explanation:

first, find the circumference of the wheel by using the formula 2(pi)(r):

2(pi)(19) = 119.380521

divide by 25 secs

119.380521/25 = 4.77522083

round to the nearest tenth is 4.8, so the speed is 4.8mm/sec

A baseball is thrown straight up. the drag force is proportional to v2. part a in terms of g, what is the y-component of the bal

steposvetlana [31]

At the position of terminal speed the net acceleration of the ball will become zero

As we know that terminal speed will always reach when net force on the ball is zero and its speed will become constant.

So here at this position we can say

$F_d = F_g$

$kv^2 = mg$

$v =\sqrt{\frac{mg}{k}}$

now when ball is moving at half of the terminal speed in upward direction then net force on the ball in downwards direction will be

$F_{net} = mg + F_d$

$F_{net} = mg + kv^2$

here speed of the ball is half of the terminal speed

$v = \frac{1}{2}*\sqrt{\frac{mg}{k}}$

then we have

$F_{net} = mg + k*\frac{mg}{4k}$

$F_{net} = \frac{5mg}{4}$

now acceleration will be given as

$a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}$

now we have

$a = \frac{5g}{4}$

$a = 12.25 m/s^2$ downwards

A 63-kg hiker is climbing the 828-m-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai. If the efficiency of converting the energy content of the bars i

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$T_f=5854.76$ °C

Explanation:

Given:

mass of hiker, m= 63 kg

height to be climbed, h= 828 m

energy produced by an energy bar, $E= 1.10\times 10^6 J$

heat capacity of the hiker, $c=75.3 J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}= 4.184 J.kg^{-1}.K^{-1}$

initial body temperature of hiker, $T_i=36.6 \degree C$

<em>The efficiency of converting the energy content of the bars into the work of climbing is 25%, the remaining 75% of the energy released through metabolism is heat released to her body.</em>

We find the energy required for climbing 828 m height:

W=m.g.h

$W=63\times 9.8\times 828$

W= 511207.2 J

∵Hike eats 2 energy bars= $2\times 1.1\times 10^{6} J$

Energy produced $= 2.2\times 10^{6} J$

Now, according to her efficiency:

Total energy required for producing the work of W= 511207.2 J which is required to climb the given height will be (say, E):

$25\% of E= 511207.2$

$\Rightarrow E= 511207.2\times \frac{100}{25}$

$E=2044828.8 J$

&

Amount of total energy (E) converted into heat(Q) is:

$Q=2044828.8-511207.2\\Q=1533621.6J$

As we know that:

heat, $Q=m.c. (T_f-T_i)$ .................(1)

where:

$T_f$ is the final temperature

Putting respective values in the eq. (1)

$1533621.6= 63\times 4.184\times (T_f-36.6)$

$(T_f-36.6)\approx 5818.16$

$T_f\approx 5854.76$ °C

Find the shear stress and the thickness of the boundary layer (a) at the center and (b) at the trailing edge of a smooth flat pl

melomori [17]

Answer:

a) The shear stress is 0.012

b) The shear stress is 0.0082

c) The total friction drag is 0.329 lbf

Explanation:

Given by the problem:

Length y plate = 2 ft

Width y plate = 10 ft

p = density = 1.938 slug/ft³

v = kinematic viscosity = 1.217x10⁻⁵ft²/s

Absolute viscosity = 2.359x10⁻⁵lbfs/ft²

a) The Reynold number is equal to:

$Re=\frac{1*3}{1.217x10^{-5} } =246507, laminar$

The boundary layer thickness is equal to:

$\delta=\frac{4.91*1}{Re^{0.5} } =\frac{4.91*1}{246507^{0.5} } =0.0098$ ft

The shear stress is equal to:

$\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{1} )(246507)^{0.5} =0.012$

b) If the railing edge is 2 ft, the Reynold number is:

$Re=\frac{2*3}{1.215x10^{-5} } =493015.6,laminar$

The boundary layer is equal to:

$\delta=\frac{4.91*2}{493015.6^{0.5} } =0.000019ft$

The sear stress is equal to:

$\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{2} )(493015.6^{0.5} )=0.0082$

c) The drag coefficient is equal to:

$C=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re} } =\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{493015.6} } ==0.0019$

The friction drag is equal to:

$F=Cp\frac{v^{2} }{2} wL=0.0019*1.938*(\frac{3^{2} }{2} )(10*2)=0.329lbf$
