Answer:

5.791244495 KNm

Explanation:

The height h is given by, $h=42.6sin42.3^{o}$

Potential energy, PE is given by

PE=mgh where m is mass of the woman, g is acceleration due to gravity whose value is taken as $9.81 m/s^{2}$ and h is already given hence substituting 77 Kg for m we obtain

$PE=77*9.81*42.6sin42.3^{o}=21656.7095 Nm$

PE=21.6567095 KNm

We also know that Kinetic energy is given by $0.5mv^{2}$ where v is the velocity and substituting v for 20.3 we obtain

$KE=0.5*77*20.3^{2}=15865.465 Nm$

KE=15.865465 KNm

Friction work is the difference between PE and KE hence

Friction work=21.6567095 KNm-15865.465 Nm=5.791244495 KNm

An infinitely long straight wire has a uniform linear charge density of Derive the 4. equation for the electric field a distance

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Explanation:

Let the linear charge density of the charged wire is given as

$\frac{q}{L} = \lambda$

here we can use Gauss law to find the electric field at a distance r from wire

so here we will assume a Gaussian surface of cylinder shape around the wire

so we have

$\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

here we have

$E \int dA = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

so we have

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Can you solve a simple physics problem

mart [117]

Answer:

0.41

Explanation:

A 49 N block has a mass of 5 kg:

49/9.8

A horizontal force of 50 N giving it an acceleration of 6 m/s^2 means that 30 N is taken up by the acceleration

This leaves 20 N to take care for friction. so the coefficient of friction is:

20/49 = 0.41.

A resistor is connected to a 3.0 ???? battery. the power dissipated in the resistor is 4.0 ????. a second, identical resistor is

Svet_ta [14]

Power dissipated across any resistance is given by

$P = i^2 R$

now it is given that when one resistance of value 3 ohm connected the power dissipated is 4 Watt

now another identical resistance of same value is connected then the current will reduce to half of its initial value.

now power across any one resistance is given by

$P = (\frac{i}{2})^2 R$

So now we will have

$P = \frac{i^2}{4}*R$

So now the power will become 1/4 times of initial power

So now the power will be

$P = 1 Watt$

Honeybees acquire a charge while flying due to friction with the air. A 120 mg bee with a charge of + 23 pC experiences an elect

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

$\frac{F}{W}=1.95\times10^{-6}$

$51304447 \frac{N}{C}$

Upward

Explanation:

The weight of the bee is:

$W=mg=(120\times10^{-6}kg)(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})=1.18\times10^{-3}N$

with m the mass and g the gravity acceleration.

Electric force of the bee is related with the electric field of earth by:

$F_{e}=qE=(23\times10^{-12}C)(100\frac{N}{C})=2.3\times10^{-9}$

with q the charge, E the electric field and Fe the electric force.

So:

$\frac{F}{W}=\frac{2.3\times10^{-9}}{1.18\times10^{-3}}=1.95\times10^{-6}$

Because Newton's first law we should make the net force on it equals cero:

$F+F_e+W=0$

$F=-(F_e+W)=-(2.3\times10^{-9} +1.18\times10^{-3})=-1.1800023\times10^{-3}$

with W the weight, Fe the electric force on the bee due earth's electric field and F the force.

So, the applied electric field should be:

$E_a=\frac{-1.1800023\times10^{-3}}{23\times10^{-12}}=-51304447 \frac{N}{C}$

The negative sign indicates that the electric field should be opposite to earth's electric field, so it should be upward.
