Answer:

A bowing ball will hit the Earth first before potatoes chips.

Explanation:

While dropping , a bag of potatoes will experience air resistance. A bowing ball also experience air resistances too but it is not affected by it because it has a bigger weight that affect air resistance than potatoes chips. Potatoes chips is affected because it's weight is light and cannot affect air resistance.

Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c

masya89 [10]

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.

There is a uniform magnetic field of magnitude B, pervading all space, perpendicular to the plane of rod and rails. The rod is r

Charra [1.4K]

The right hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The magnetic force is given by the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field.

F = q v x B

Where the bolds indicate vectors, F is the force, q the charge on the particle, v the velocity and B the magnetic field.

In the vector product, the vectors are perpendicular, which is why the right-hand rule has been established, see attached:

The thumb points in the direction of speed.

Fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field.

The palm is in the direction of the force if the charge is positive and in the opposite direction if the charge is negative.

They indicate that the bar is dropped, therefore its speed is vertical and downwards, it moves to the left therefore this is the direction of the force, we use the right hand rule, the magnetic field must be horizontal, we have two possibilities:

If the charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

If the charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is, horizontal away from us

In conclusion using the right hand rule we can find the direction of the magnetic field for a falling bar is:

The charge of the bar is negative, the magnetic field is incoming, that is horizontal away from us.

The charge is positive the magnetic field is outgoing, horizontally and towards us.

The potential energy of a pair of hydrogen atoms separated by a large distance x is given by U(x)=−C6/x6, where C6 is a positive

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be " $-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$ ". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The potential energy will be,

⇒ $U(x)= -\frac{C_{6}}{x^6}$

The expression of force will be,

⇒ $F=-\frac{dU(x)}{dx}$

⇒ $=-(C_{6}(-6)x^{-7})$

⇒ $=-\frac{6C_{6}}{x^{7}}$

Force seems to be appealing because the expression has been negative. It therefore means that the force or substance is acting laterally in on itself.
