mario62 [17]

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

f an arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h(t)=35t−0.83t

inysia [295]

Answer:

The velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

An arrow is shot upward on the moon with velocity of 35 m/s, its height after t seconds is given by the equation:

$h(t)=35t-0.83t^2$

We know that the rate of change of displacement is equal to the velocity of an object.

$v(t)=\dfrac{dh(t)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=\dfrac{d(35t-0.83t^2)}{dt}\\\\v(t)=35-1.66t$

Velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds will be :

$v(t)=35-1.66t\\\\v(t)=35-1.66(3)\\\\v(t)=30.02\ m/s$

So, the velocity of the arrow after 3 seconds is 30.02 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What are the two requirements of a circuit so that current will flow?

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

-The battery-the power source

-Closed conducting loop

Explanation:

-To produce an electric current, the following requirements must be met:

-A battery-This is the energy source than will do work on the charge thus moving from a low energy location to high energy location.

-Closed Conducting Loop-The loop is usually made of copper wires due to their high electric conductivity.

Two identical conducting spheres are placed 80.0 cm apart. One is given a charge of 5.8 C and the other is given a charge of 6.4

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: $5.214(10)^{11} N$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".
