At one instant a bicyclist is 41.0 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 15.0 m/s. Then 27.0 s later,

the cyclist is 41.0 m due north of the flagpole, going due east with a speed of 15.0 m/s. For the cyclist in this 27.0 s interval, what are the
(a) magnitude and
(b) direction of the displacement, the
(c) magnitude and
(d) direction of the average velocity, and the
(e) magnitude and
(f) direction of the average acceleration? (Give all directions as positive angles relative to due east, where positive is meaured going counterclockwise.)

Answer:

displacement is 41√2 m and 45º; velocity is 15 √2 m/s and 315º and the acceleration is 0.786 m/s² and 315º

Explanation:

a and b) The cyclist is at a distance east and then north, we can find the displacement using the Pythagorean theorem

Xt² = X1² + X2²

Xt = √(41² + 41²)

Xt = 41 √2 m

The angle can be found by trigonometry

tan θ = X1 / X2

tan θ = 41/41 = 1

θ = 45º

c and d) the velocities are also vector magnitudes, so they can be brought in the same way as the displacements

V² = V1² + V2²

V = √ V1² + V2²

V = √[(-15)² + 15²

V = 15 √2 m/s

Tan θ = -15/15 = -1

θ = -45º

This is (270+ 45) measured from the east counterclockwise

θ = 315º

E and f) the average accelerations

Let's calculate the value of acceleration, which is also a vector

a = (Vf -Vo )/ t

The initial speed is directed south is negative and the final speed is directed east is positive

Vf = 15 m/s i^ θ = 0º

Vo = -15 m/s j^ θ = 270º

a = (15 i^ - (- 15) j^) / 27

cañculate the module

a² = (Vf² + Vo²) / t²

a = √ (15² + 15²) / 27

a = 15 √2 /27

a = 0.786 m/s²

The direction of acceleration is

tan θ = ay / ax

tan θ = -0.55 / 0.55 = -1

θ = -45º

This is (270+ 45) measured from the east counterclockwise

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

q1 = 7.6uC , -2.3 uC

q2 = 7.6uC , -2.3 uC

( q1 , q2 ) = ( 7.6 uC , -2.3 uC ) OR ( -2.3 uC , 7.6 uC )

Explanation:

Solution:-

- We have two stationary identical conducting spheres with initial charges ( q1 and q2 ). Such that the force of attraction between them was F = 0.6286 N.

- To model the electrostatic force ( F ) between two stationary charged objects we can apply the Coulomb's Law, which states:

$F = k\frac{|q_1|.|q_2|}{r^2}$

Where,

k: The coulomb's constant = 8.99*10^9

- Coulomb's law assume the objects as point charges with separation or ( r ) from center to center.

- We can apply the assumption and approximate the spheres as point charges under the basis that charge is uniformly distributed over and inside the sphere.

- Therefore, the force of attraction between the spheres would be:

$\frac{F}{k}*r^2 =| q_1|.|q_2| \\\\\frac{0.6286}{8.99*10^9}*(0.5)^2 = | q_1|.|q_2| \\\\ | q_1|.|q_2| = 1.74805 * 10^-^1^1$ ... Eq 1

- Once, we connect the two spheres with a conducting wire the charges redistribute themselves until the charges on both sphere are equal ( q' ). This is the point when the re-distribution is complete ( current stops in the wire).

- We will apply the principle of conservation of charges. As charge is neither destroyed nor created. Therefore,

$q' + q' = q_1 + q_2\\\\q' = \frac{q_1 + q_2}{2}$

- Once the conducting wire is connected. The spheres at the same distance of ( r = 0.5m) repel one another. We will again apply the Coulombs Law as follows for the force of repulsion (F = 0.2525 N ) as follows:

$\frac{F}{k}*r^2 = (\frac{q_1 + q_2}{2})^2\\\\\sqrt{\frac{0.2525}{8.99*10^9}*0.5^2} = \frac{q_1 + q_2}{2}\\\\2.64985*10^-^6 = \frac{q_1 + q_2}{2}\\\\q_1 + q_2 = 5.29969*10^-^6$ .. Eq2

- We have two equations with two unknowns. We can solve them simultaneously to solve for initial charges ( q1 and q2 ) as follows:

$-\frac{1.74805*10^-^1^1}{q_2} + q_2 = 5.29969*10^-^6 \\\\q^2_2 - (5.29969*10^-^6)q_2 - 1.74805*10^-^1^1 = 0\\\\q_2 = 0.0000075998, -0.000002300123$

$q_1 = -\frac{1.74805*10^-^1^1}{-0.0000075998} = -2.3001uC\\\\q_1 = \frac{1.74805*10^-^1^1}{0.000002300123} = 7.59982uC\\$

A spring whose stiffness is 3500 N/m is used to launch a 4 kg block straight up in the classroom. The spring is initially compre

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

the speed of the block at the given position is 21.33 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

spring constant, k = 3500 N/m

mass of the block, m = 4 kg

extension of the spring, x = 0.2 m

initial velocity of the block, u = 0

displacement of the block, d =1.3 m

The force applied to the block by the spring is calculated as;

F = ma = kx

where;

a is the acceleration of the block

$a = \frac{kx}{m} \\\\a = \frac{(3500) \times (0.2)}{4} \\\\a = 175 \ m/s^2$

The final velocity of the block at 1.3 m is calculated as;

v² = u² + 2ad

v² = 0 + 2ad

v² = 2ad

v = √2ad

v = √(2 x 175 x 1.3)

v = 21.33 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the block at the given position is 21.33 m/s.
