Answer:

float

Explanation:

a less dense material will float when placed in a material that is more dense than itself. The reverse is also true, that a denser material will sink when placed into into a less dense material.

If the only forces acting on a 2.0kg mass are F1 = (3i-8j)N and F2 = (5i+3j)N, what is the magnitude of the acceleration of the
belka [17]

Answer: 4.7m/s²

Explanation:

According to newton's first law,

Force = mass × acceleration

Since we are given more the one force, we will take the resultant of the two vectors.

Mass = 2.0kg

F1+F2 = (3i-8j)+(5i+3j)

Adding component wise, we have;

F1+F2 = 3i+5i-8j+3j

F1+F2 = 8i-5j

Resultant of the sum of the forces will be;

R² = (8i)²+(-5j)²

Since i.i = j.j = 1

R² = 8²+5²

R² = 64+25

R² = 89

R = √89

R = 9.4N

Our resultant force = 9.4N

Substituting in the formula

F = ma

9.4 = 2a

a = 9.4/2

a = 4.7m/s²

Therefore, magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is 4.7m/s²

The dragster has a mass of 1.3 Mg and a center of mass at G. A parachute is attached at C provides a horizontal braking force of
adell [148]

Answer:

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is  16.33 m/s²

Explanation:

The additional information to the question is embedded in the diagram attached below:

The height between the dragster and ground is considered to be 0.35 m since is not given ; thus in addition win 0.75 m between the dragster and the parachute; we have: (0.75 + 0.35) m = 1.1 m

Balancing the equilibrium about point A;

F(1.1) - mg (1.25) = ma_a (0.35)

1.8v^2(1.1) - 1200(9.8)(1.25) = 1200a(0.35)

1.8v^2(1.1) - 14700 = 420 a   ------- equation (1)

F_x = ma_x \\ \\ = 1.8v^2 = 1200 \ a             --------- equation (2)

Replacing equation 2 into equation 1 ; we have :

{1.1 * 1200 \ a} - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a - 14700 = 420 a

1320 a -  420 a =14700

900 a = 14700

a = 14700/900

a = 16.33 m/s²

The deceleration of the dragster upon releasing the parachute such that the wheels at B are on the verge of leaving the ground is  16.33 m/s²

Calculate the potential energy of a +1.0μC point charge sitting 0.1m from a -5.0μC point charge.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

P.E.      =   -0.449 J

Explanation:

Potential energy of a charge particle in any electrostatic field is defined as the amount of work done ( in negative ) to bring that charge particle from any position to a new position r.

Now Potential energy is defined by this formula,

P.E. = k q₁ q₂/ r

where P.E. is the potential energy.

k = 1/( 4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ C²/ ( Nm²)

q₁ = charge of one particle = +1.0μC

q₂ = charge of another particle = -5.0μC

r = distance = 0.1 m

Now , P.E. = 8.99 × 10⁹C²/ ( Nm²) * ( -5.0 × 10⁻⁶ C ) × ( 1 × 10⁻⁶ C ) / 0.1 m

          P.E.      =  -0.449 J
