Points A, B, and C form the vertices of a triangle in a nonuniform electrostatic field. The electrostatic work done on a particl

e of charge q as the particle travels from A to B is WAB and that done on the particle as it travels from A to C is WAC=−WAB/3.
a) How much electrostatic work is done on the particle as it travels from B to C?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let electric potential at A ,B and C be Va , Vb and Vc respectively.

Work done = charge x potential difference

Wab = q ( Va - Vb )

Wac = q ( Va - Vc )

Given

Wac = - Wab / 3

3Wac = - Wab

Now

Wbc = q ( Vb - Vc )

= q [ ( Va-Vc ) - ( Va - Vb )]

= Wac - Wab

= Wac + 3Wac

= 4Wac

Two friends, Al and Jo, have a combined mass of 195 kg. At the ice skating rink, they stand close together on skates, at rest an

ddd [48]

Answer:

Al's mass is 102.92 kg

Explanation:

As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:

$F_{net} = 0$

As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:

$F_{net} = \frac{dp_{horizontal}}{dt} = 0$

$p_{horizontal_i }= p_{horizontal_f}$

where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.

The initial momentum will be:

$p_{horizontal_}i = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_i} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_i}$

But, as they are at rest, initially

$p_{horizontal_i} = m_{Al} * 0 + m_{Jo} * 0$

$p_{horizontal_i} = 0$

So, this means:

$p_{horizontal_f} = m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + m_{Jo} \ v_{Jo_f} = 0$

We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:

$m_{total} = m_{Al} + m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg$ .

so:

$m_{Jo} = 195 \ kg - m_{Al}$ .

$m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} + (195 \ kg - m_{Al}) \ v_{Jo_f} = 0$

$m_{Al} \ v_{Al_f} - m_{Al} \ v_{Jo_f}= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}$

$m_{Al} \ (v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f})= - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f}$

$m_{Al} = \frac{ - 195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } { v_{Al_f} - v_{Jo_f} }$

$m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg \ v_{Jo_f} } { v_{Jo_f} - v_{Al_f} }$

Now, we can use the values:

$v_{Al_f}= 10.2 \frac{m}{s}$

$v_{Jo_f}= - 11.4 \frac{m}{s}$

where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions

$m_{Al} = \frac{195 \ kg ( - 11.4 \frac{m}{s} ) } { (- 11.4 \frac{m}{s}) - 10.2 \frac{m}{s} }$

$m_{Al} = 102.92 \ kg$

and this is the Al's mass.

An object starts from rest at time t = 0.00 s and moves in the +x direction with constant acceleration. The object travels 14.0

Reptile [31]

Answer:

28 m/s^2

Explanation:

distance, s = 14 m

time, t = 2 - 1 = 1 s

initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

Let a be the acceleration.

Use third equation of motion

$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

$14 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a\times 1^{2}$

a = 28 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration is 28 m/s^2.

(4%) Problem 9: A mass is connected to a spring and is allowed to move horizontally. The mass is at a position L when the spring

skad [1K]

Answer:

a) Acceleration is zero , c) Speed is cero

Explanation:

a) the equation that governs the simple harmonic motion is

x = A cos (wt +φφ)

Where A is the amplitude of the movement, w is the angular velocity and φ the initial phase determined by the initial condition

Body acceleration is

a = d²x / dt²

Let's look for the derivatives

dx / dt = - A w sin (wt + φ)

a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt + φ)

In the instant when it is not stretched x = 0

As the spring is released at maximum elongation, φ = 0

0 = A cos wt

Cos wt = 0 wt = π / 2

Acceleration is valid for this angle

a = -A w² cos π/2 = 0

Acceleration is zero

b)

c) When the spring is compressed x = A

Speed is

v = dx / dt

v = - A w sin wt

We look for time

A = A cos wt

cos wt = 1 wt = 0, π

For this time the speedy vouchers

v = -A w sin 0 = 0

Speed is cero
