Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin

g when determining the work done on the object?
Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work.
If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done.
When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.
A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle.

Answer

(C).

When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered.


Step by step Solution

The work done by a force is defined as the product of the force and the distance traveled in the direction of motion.

The first answer "Only the component of the force perpendicular to the motion is used to calculate the work" is wrong because, the force perpendicular to motion does no work.

The second choice "If the force acts in the same direction as the motion, then no work is done" is wrong because the work in the direction of the force is W=F\times d.

Fourth answer "A force at a right angle to the motion requires the use of the sine of the angle" is wrong because the sin(90)=0 meaning that there is no work done in the direction perpendicular to the motion.

The third answer" When there is an angle between the two directions, the cosine of the angle must be considered." is correct because the work is calculated using the force in the direction of the motion. The magnitude of this force is F\times d\times \cos(\theta).

A positively charged particle 1 is at the origin of a Cartesian coordinate system, and there are no other charged objects nearby
8090 [49]

Answer:

P=(2 nm, 8mn)

Explanation:

Given :

Position of positively charged particle at origin, O=(0\ nm,0\ nm)

Position of desired magnetic field, D\equiv(1\ nm,8\ nm)

Magnitude of desired magnetic field, E=0\ N.C^{-1}

Let q be the positive charge magnitude placed at origin.

<u>We know the distance between the two Cartesian points is given as:</u>

d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}

<u>For the electric field effect to be zero at point D we need equal and opposite field at the point.</u>

\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 } =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \times \frac{q}{r^2 }

\therefore (1-0)^2+(8-0)^2=r^2

r^2=65\ nm

r=\sqrt{65}

as we know that the electric field lines emerge radially outward of a positive charge so the second charge will be at equally opposite side of the  given point.

assuming that the second charge is placed at (x,y) nano-meters.

Therefore,

x=2\times 1=2\ nm

and

y=2\times 8=16\ nm

What is work done aganist gravity?​
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.
