Answer: minimum speed of launch must be 7.45m/s

Explanation:

Given the following:

Height or distance (s) = 2.83m

The final velocity(Vf) at maximum height = 0

Upward motion, acceleration due to gravity(g) us negative = -9.8m/s^2

From the 3rd equation of motion:

V^2 = u^2 - 2gs

Where V = final velocity

u = initial velocity

Therefore, u = Vi

u = √Vf^2 - 2gs

u = √0^2 - 2(-9.8)(2.83)

u = √0 + 55.468

u = √55.468

u = 7.4476 m/s

u = 7.45m/s

Uniformly charged ring with 180 nC/m and radius R= 58 cm. Find the magnitude of the electric field in KN/C at a point P on the a
raketka [301]

Answer:

3.135 kN/C

Explanation:

The electric field on the axis of a charged ring with radius R and distance z from the axis is E = qz/{4πε₀[√(z² + R²)]³}

Given that R = 58 cm = 0.58 m, z = 116 cm = 1.16m, q = total charge on ring = λl where λ = charge density on ring = 180 nC/m = 180 × 10⁻⁹ C/m and l = length of ring = 2πR. So q = λl = λ2πR = 180 × 10⁻⁹ C/m × 2π(0.58 m) = 208.8π × 10⁻⁹ C and ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m

So, E = qz/{4πε₀[√(z² + R²)]³}

E = 208.8π × 10⁻⁹ C × 1.16 m/{4π8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m[√((1.16 m)² + (0.58 m)²)]³}

E = 242.208 × 10⁻⁹ Cm/{35.416 × 10⁻¹² F/m[√(1.3456 m² + 0.3364 m²)]³}

E = 242.208 × 10⁻⁹ Cm/35.416 × 10⁻¹² F/m[√(1.682 m²)]³}

E = 6.839 × 10³ Cm²/[1.297 m]³F

E = 6.839 × 10³ Cm²/2.182 m³F

E = 3.135 × 10³ V/m

E = 3.135 × 10³ N/C

E = 3.135 kN/C
