Answer:

Potential energy

Explanation:

As the man throws a ball, the ball gains some kinetic energy. As the ball goes up the velocity of ball goes on decreasing and the height goes on increasing. It means the it loses kinetic energy and gaining potential energy.

Two charges (q1 = 3.8*10-6C, q2 = 3.2*10-6C) are separated by a distance of d = 3.25 m. Consider q1 to be located at the origin.

Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The distance is 1.69 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}= 3.8\times10^{-6}\ C$

Second charge $q_{2}=3.2\times10^{-6}\ C$

Distance = 3.25 m

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of electric field

$E_{1}=E_{2}$

$\dfrac{kq_{1}}{x^2}=\dfrac{kq_{2}}{(d-x)^2}$

$\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}=\dfrac{(x)^2}{(d-x)^2}$

$\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}=\dfrac{x}{d-x}$

$x=(d-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{q_{1}}{q_{2}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$x=(3.25-x)\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}$

$x+x\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}$

$x(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})=3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}$

$x=\dfrac{3.25\times\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}}}{(1+\sqrt{\dfrac{3.8\times10^{-6}}{3.2\times10^{-6}}})}$

$x=1.69\ m$

Hence, The distance is 1.69 m.

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

13.37 rev/min

Explanation:

acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s², centripetal acceleration ( $a_c$ ) = 1.8 * g = 1.8 * 9.8 m/s² = 17.64 m/s².

r = 9 m

Centripetal acceleration ( $a_c$ ) is given by:

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r} \\\\v=\sqrt{a_c*r} \\\\v=\sqrt{17.64\ m/s^2*9\ m}\\\\v=12.6\ m/s$

The velocity (v) is given by:

v = ωr; where ω is the angular velocity

Hence:

ω = v/r = 12.6 / 9

ω = 1.4 rad/s

ω = 2πN

N = ω/2π = 1.4 / 2π

N = 0.2228 rev/s

N = 13.37 rev/min

A child on a swing sweeps out a distance of 45 ft on the first pass. If she is allowed to continue swinging until she stops, an

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

Here in each swing the distance sweeps by the swing is half of the initial distance that it will move

So here we can say that total distance in whole motion is given as

$d = 45 + \frac{45}{2} + \frac{45}{4} + \frac{45}{8}..........$

since it is half of the distance that it will move in each swing so it would be a geometric progression with common ratio of 1/2

so sum of such GP is given by the formula

$S = \frac{a}{1 - r}$

$d = \frac{45}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}$

$d = 90 ft$
