A positive point charge (q = +8.65 x 10-8 C) is surrounded by an equipotential surface A, which has a radius of rA = 2.97 m. A p

ella [17]

Answer:

$r_B = 1.88 m$

Explanation:

As we know that work done by electric force is given as

$W_e = -q\Delta V$

so here we know that charge is moving from

$r_A = 2.97 m$

to another position

so we will have

$W_{AB} = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_A} - \frac{kq_1q_2}{r_B}$

$-6.95\times 10^{-9} = (9\times 10^9)(8.65\times 10^{-8})(4.56\times 10^{-11})(\frac{1}{2.97} - \frac{1}{r_B})$

$-0.196 = (\frac{1}{2.97} - \frac{1}{r_B})$

$r_B = 1.88 m$

If you push any floating object down from equilibrium and release it, it bobs up and down. That looks like an oscillation, so le

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

$F_{y}$ = ( ρ_fluid g A) y

Explanation:

This exercise can be solved in two parts, the first finding the equilibrium force and the second finding the oscillating force

for the first part, let's write Newton's equilibrium equation

B₀ - W = 0

B₀ = W

ρ_fluid g V_fluid = W

the volume of the fluid is the area of the cube times the height it is submerged

V_fluid = A y

For the second part, the body introduces a quantity and below this equilibrium point, the equation is

B - W = m a

ρ_fluid g A (y₀ + y) - W = m a

ρ_fluid g A y + (ρ_fluid g A y₀ -W) = m a

ρ_fluid g A y + (B₀-W) = ma

the part in parentheses is zero since it is the force when it is in equilibrium

ρ_fluid g A y = m a

this equation the net force is

$F_{y}$ = ( ρ_fluid g A) y

we can see that this force varies linearly the distance and measured from the equilibrium position

Three beads are placed on the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side d = 3.4cm. The first bead of mass m1=140gis placed on

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Xcm = 1.95 cm and Ycm = 1.76 cm

Explanation:

The very useful concept of mass center is

R cm = 1/M ∑ $m_{i}$ $r_{i}$

Where ri, mi are the mass positions of the bodies from some reference point by selecting and M is the total mass of the body.

Let's look for the total mass

M = m₁ + m₂ + m₃

M = 140 + 45 + 85

M = 270 g

Let's look for the position of each point

Point 1. top vertex, if the triangle has as side d

R₁ = d / 2 i ^ + d j ^

R₁ = (1.7 cm i ^ + 3.4 j ^) cm

Point 2. left vertex. What is the origin of the system?

R₂ = 0

Point 3. Right vertex

R₃ = d i ^

R₃ = 3.4 i ^ cm

a) The x component of the massage center

Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ x₁ + m₂ x₂ + m₃ x₃)

Xcm = 1 / M (m₁ d / 2 + 0 + m₃ d)

Xcm = d / M (m₁ / 2 + m₃)

b) Let's write the mass center component x

Xcm = 1/270 (1.7 140 + 0 + 3.4 85)

Xcm = 238/270

Xcm = 1.95 cm

c) let's find the component and center of mass

Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ y₁ + m₂ y₂ + m₃ y₃)

Ycm = 1 / M (m₁ d + 0 + 0)

Ycm = m₁ / M d

d) let's calculate

Y cm = 1/270 (140 3.4 + 0 + 0)

Ycm = 1.76 cm
