Answer:

F_net = 26.512 N

Explanation:

Given:

Q_a = 3.06 * 10^(-4 ) C

Q_b = -5.7 * 10^(-4 ) C

Q_c = 1.08 * 10^(-4 ) C

R_ac = 3 m

R_bc = sqrt (3^2 + 4^2) = 5m

k = 8.99 * 10^9

Coulomb's Law:

F_i = k * Q_i * Q_j / R_ij^2

Compute F_ac and F_bc :

F_ac = k * Q_a * Q_c / R^2_ac

F_ac =  8.99 * 10^9* ( 3.06 * 10^(-4 ))* (1.08 * 10^(-4 )) / 3^2

F_ac = 33.01128 N

F_bc = k * Q_b * Q_c / R^2_bc

F_bc =  8.99 * 10^9* ( 5.7 * 10^(-4 ))* (1.08 * 10^(-4 )) / 5^2  

F_bc = - 22.137 N

Angle a is subtended between F_bc and y axis @ C

cos(a) = 3 / 5

sin (a) = 4 / 5

Compute F_net:

F_net = sqrt (F_x ^2 + F_y ^2)

F_x = sum of forces in x direction:

F_x = F_bc*sin(a) = 22.137*(4/5) = 17.71 N

F_y = sum of forces in y direction:

F_y = - F_bc*cos(a) + F_ac = - 22.137*(3/5) + 33.01128 = 19.72908 N

F_net = sqrt (17.71 ^2 + 19.72908 ^2) = 26.5119 N

Answer: F_net = 26.512 N

Why does the cyclist have less kinetic energy at position A than at position B?
Semmy [17]
Suppose that the cyclist begins his journey from the rest from the top of a wedge with a slope of a degree above the horizontal.
 At point A (where it starts its journey), the energy is:
 Ea = m * g * h
 In other words, energy is only potential.
 At point B (located at the bottom of the wedge), the energy is:
 Eb = (1/2) * (m) * (v ^ 2)
 In other words, the energy is only kinetic.
 For energy conservation we have:
 Ea = Eb
 That is, we have that all potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy.
 Which means that the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.
 answer:
 the cyclist has less kinetic energy at point A because that's where he has more potential energy.

Saturn moves in an orbit around the Sun with radius 10 AU. How many degrees does it move on the Celestial in one year? (Hint: Ca
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

B. About 12 degrees

Explanation:

The orbital period is calculated using the following expression:

T = 2π*(\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm}})

Where r is the distance of the planet to the sun, G is the gravitational constant and m is the mass of the sun.

Now, we don't actually need to solve the values of the constants, since we now that the distance from the sun to Saturn is 10 times the distance from the sun to the earth. We now this because 1 AU is the distance from the earth to the sun.

Now, we divide the expression used to calculate the orbital period of Saturn by the expression used to calculate the orbital period of the earth. Notice that the constants will cancel and we will get the rate of orbital periods in terms of the distances to the sun:

\frac{Tsaturn}{Tearth} = \sqrt{\frac{rSaturn^3}{rEarth^3} } = \sqrt{10^3}}

Knowing that the orbital period of the earth is 1 year, the orbital period of Saturn will be \sqrt{10^3}} years, or 31.62 years.

We find the amount of degrees it moves in 1 year:

1year * \frac{360degrees}{31.62years} = 11.38 degrees

or about 12 degrees.
