Why is it important to select a coordinate system when studying motion?

1 answer:

5 0

Motion is detected when an object changes its position with respect to a reference point. Coordinate system is basically used to represent motion. A coordinate system uses numbers or coordinates which represent position of the reference points on a two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. The trajectory of a point or line can be studied on a coordinate system which describes various aspects of motion like velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement etc. Coordinate system is important because it helps to choose a starting point and the direction (which will be positive).

the positive particle has a charge of 31.7 mC and the particles are 2.80 mm apart, what is the electric field at point A located

vichka [17]

Answer:

the electric field at point A is

E = 5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Explanation:

given

electrostatics constant k = 9.0×10⁹

charge q = 31.7mC= 31.7×10⁻³C

distance r = 2.80mm

distance from midpoint to point A = 2.00mm

attached is the diagram of the solution, describing the position of the charge

note x = r/2, where x is the distance from midpoint of r to the particle

using Pythagoras theorem as in the attachment, x = 2.44mm= 2.44×10⁻³m

the electric field at point A is given as

vector <em>E </em>= 2E×cos θ( -x direction)

recall E =kq/x²

where k is the electrostatics constant = 1/4πε₀

where ε₀ is permittivity of free space

therefore using E =2{kq/x²}cosθ

∴cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse

cosθ=1.40/2.44

E =2 {(9.0×10⁹ × 31.7×10⁻³) ÷ (2.44×10⁻³)²}×(1.40/2.44)(-x)

E=2{4.79×10¹³}×(0.574)(-x)

E = 2×2.75 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

Vector <em>E= </em>5.5 ×10¹³N/C(-x direction)

According to Archimede's principle, a physical object experiences an upthrust due to a difference in pressure between upper and lower surfaces.

<h3>What is an upthrust?</h3>

An upthrust is also referred to as buoyancy and it can be defined as an upward force which is exerted by a fluid (liquid or gas), so as to oppose the weight of a partially or fully immersed physical object that is floating in it.

Based on scientific information, a physical object experiences an upthrust when it is immersed in a fluid due to a difference in height and pressure between upper (top) and lower (bottom) surfaces.

According to Archimede's principle, there is a higher pressure at the bottom of the physical object due to height, and a lower pressure at the top of the physical object.

The wing of an airplane experiences the forces as depicted in the vector diagram to the right. Using both one and two dimensiona

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

A.) 3605.6 N

B.) 33.7 degree

Explanation:

To find the result force acting on the wing of the airplane, we need to resolve the forces into x and y components

Resolving into x component :

Sum of forces = 3500 - 500 = 3000N

Resolving into y component:

Sum of forces = 2000N

Resultant force Fr = sqrt ( Fx^2 + Fy^2)

Fr = sqrt ( 3000^2 + 2000^2 )

Fr = sqrt ( 9000000 + 4000000 )

Fr = sqrt ( 13000000)

Fr = 3605.6 N

Therefore, resultant force acting on the wing is 3605.6 N

The direction of the vector will be:

Tan Ø = Fy / Fx

Substitute Fx and Fy into the formula

Tan Ø = 2000 / 3000

Tan Ø = 0.66666

Ø = tan^-1(0. 66666)

Ø = 33.7 degree.
