Suppose a person pushes thumbtack that is 1/5 centimeter long into a bulletin board, and the force (in dynes) exerted when the d

epth of the thumbtack in the bulletin board is x centimeters is given by F(x) = 1000 (1 + 2x)2 for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 5 . Find the work W done by pushing the thumbtack all the way into the board.

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm

Electric field lines show the strength and _____ of an electric field.
Gwar [14]
So we want to know what do electric field lines show except strength of the electric field. Electric field lines are lines that show us the field strength and the DIRECTION of the electric field. If the lines point away from the charge that is producing the lines, the charge is positive, and if the lines point towards the charge that is producing them that charge is negative.

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

We know that the gravity on the surface of the moon is,

  • g'=\frac{g}{6}
  • g'=1.63\ m.s^{-2}

<u>Gravity at a height h above the surface of the moon will be given as:</u>

g'_h=\frac{G.m}{(r+h)^2} ..........................(1)

where:

G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass of the moon

r = radius of moon

We have:

  • G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.s^{-2}.kg^{-1}
  • m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg
  • r=1.74\times 10^6\ m
  • h=384.4\times 10^6\ m is the distance between the surface of the earth and the moon.

Now put the respective values in eq. (1)

g'_h=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(1.74\times 10^6+384.4\times 10^6)^2}

g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2} is the gravity on the moon the earth-surface.

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

When two equal forces act on the same object in opposite directions, what is the net force?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

Forces with equal magnitudes and opposite directions cancel each other out, so the net force is 0.
