Answer:

(a) a = - 201.8 m/s²

(b) s = 197.77 m

Explanation:

(a)

The acceleration can be found by using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

a = (Vf - Vi)/t

where,

a = acceleration = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since it is finally brought to rest)

Vi = Initial Velocity = (632 mi/h)(1609.34 m/ 1 mi)(1 h/ 3600 s) = 282.53 m/s

t = time = 1.4 s

Therefore,

a = (0 m/s - 282.53 m/s)/1.4 s

<u>a = - 201.8 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

(b)

For the distance traveled, we can use 2nd equation of motion:

s = Vi t + (0.5)at²

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

Therefore,

s = (282.53 m/s)(1.4 s) + (0.5)(- 201.8 m/s²)(1.4 s)²

s = 395.54 m - 197.77 m

<u>s = 197.77 m</u>

Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere with radius R.From the express

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Vb = k Q / r r <R

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²) r >R

Explanation:

The electic potential is defined by

ΔV = - ∫ E .ds

We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product

VB - VA = - ∫ E dr

Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out

r> R

Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr

-Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)

We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity

Vb = k Q / r r <R

We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us

Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr

We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R

Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)

This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity

A roulette wheel with a 1.0m radius reaches a maximum angular speed of 18 rad/s before it stops 35 revolutions ( 220 rad ) after

Alex17521 [72]

Max ang. speed(u) = 18 rad/s
final ang. speed(v) = 0
ang. displacement(s) = 220 rad

ang. acceleration = (v^2 - u^2)/2s = -18^2 / 2*220 = -0.7364 rad/s^2

v = u +at
0 = 18 - 0.7364t
t = 18/0.7364
t = 24.44 seconds

Two identical conducting small spheres are placed with their centers 0.290 m apart. One is given a charge of 12.0 nC and the oth

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Force between two identical conducting ball will be $2.65\times 10^{-5}N$

Explanation:

We have given there is two identical conducting small spheres having charge $q_1=12nC=12\times 10^{-9}C$ and $q_2=-21nC=-21\times 10^{-9}C$

Distance between centers of the ball is 0.290 m

So r = 0.290 m

We have to fond the electric force between the balls

According to Coulomb's law force between two charges is given by

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{q_1_2}{r^2}=\frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

So force $F=\frac{9\times 10^{9}\times 12\times 10^{-9}\times 21\times 10^{-9}}{0.293^2}=2.65\times 10^{-5}N$

So force between two identical conducting ball will be $2.65\times 10^{-5}N$
