Superman throws a boulder of weight 3800 n at an adversary on the surface of the earth, where the magnitude of the acceleration

due to gravity, g = 9.80 m/s2 . what horizontal force must superman apply to the boulder to give it a horizontal acceleration of 12.8 m/s2 ?

The weight of the boulder is 3800 N, therefore its mass i s
3800/9.8 = 387.755 kg

If the horizontal acceleration is 12.8 m/s², then the horizontal force applied is
F = (387.755 kg)*(12.8 m/s²) = 4.963 x 10³ n = 4.963 kN

Answer: 4.963 kN

An electric dipole is formed from ± 5.0 nC point charges spaced 3.0 mm apart. The dipole is centered at the origin, oriented alo
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm) is =<u>16321.0769 N/C</u>

The electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm) is =<u>35321.58999 N/C</u>

Explanation:

Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = ( 20 mm ,0cm)?

Answer:

The electric field at any given point of the dipole is given as:

E= (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

Where:

K = 9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2 (coloumb constant)

P = (0.003) (5x10^-9c) which is the movement of the dipole

(0.003) is arrived at when mm is converted to m. 3.0 mm space apart was converted to a meter.

r= the point, in the question above is 20mm = 0.02m

Now, the electric field, E can be calculated by putting the values in the formula above:

E = (KP) ÷ (r^2 + a^2)^3/2

= (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [ (0.02m)^2 + (0.003)^2]^3/2

= 0.135 ÷ (8.271513x10^-6)

=<u>16321.0769 N/C</u>

 Question: What is the electric field strength at point (x,y) = (0cm, 20 mm )?

Answer:

Here, the electric field, E= 2krp ÷ (r^2 - a^2)^2

E= 2 (9x10^9 Nm^2/c^2) (0.02m) (0.003 m) (5x10^-9c) ÷ [(0.02m)^2 - (0.003)^2]^2

= 0.0054 ÷  0.000000152881

=<u>35321.58999 N/C</u>

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution
givi [52]
With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π 

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
   = (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
   = 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5  revolutions per second.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x &amp; y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

A paper clip that has a mass of 1.5 grams is thrown into the air and initially has a kinetic energy
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

v = 4.2 \ m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of the paper clip, m = 1.5 \ g = 0.0015 \ kg

Kinetic energy, K = 0.013 \ \rm J

Let the velocity of the paper clip when it is thrown be <em>v</em>.

Thus,

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

0.013 = 0.5 \times 0.0015 \times v^{2}

\Rightarrow \ v = 4.16 \ m/s

v = 4.2 \ m/s.  (rounding to nearest tenth)
