Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, $F_1$ = 140 N

let the second force = $F_2$

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

$F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N$

$F_2 = 280 \ East$

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

$F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N$

$F_2 = 560 \ West$

Which statement about gravity is true?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Out of the given options, ‘it is described as a fundamental force and therefore does not depend on other forces’ is the true statement about gravity.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

As we all know that there are four fundamental forces existing in the universe- Electromagnetic force, strong forces, weak forces and the gravitational force.

These are the forces that don’t depend on any other physical force to draw a considerable impact on the physical objects. The gravitational force can be defined as,

$F=G \times \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Constant

$m_{1} , m_{2}$ = Masses of two substances under consideration

R = distance between the two substances.

Looking upon the formula of gravitational force we can easily estimate that the gravitational force relies on the mass of substances and the relative distance between them. There is no factor than the air friction that hinders the gravitational force and that too in a negligible amount.

Using the graph, describe what is happening between 4 and 6 seconds. The object is moving away from the origin at a constant vel

Hunter-Best [27]

The position in the graph between 4 - 6 seconds is the region of constant velocity.

<h3>What is constant velocity?</h3>

The term constant velocity refers to the period in the graph when the velocity is not changing with time. As such, the graph is shown to be a flat portion at such a point.

Hence, it follows that the position in the graph between 4 - 6 seconds is the region of constant velocity.

4. What is the electric field strength (E) at a distance of 0.50 m from a 1.00×10°C charge?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

3.6*10¹⁰N/C

Explanation:

The formula for Electric field strength is expressed as:

E = kQ/r²

k is the coulombs constant = 9*10^9Nm²/C²

Q is the charge = 1.00×10°C

r is the distance = 0.50m

Substitute the parameters into the formula as shown:

E = kQ/r²

E = 9*10^9(1)/0.5²

E = 9*10^9/0.25

E = 36*10^9

<em>E = 3.6*10¹⁰N/C</em>

<em>Hence the electric field strength is 3.6*10¹⁰N/C </em>

Two water jets are emerging from a vessel at a height of 50 centimeters and 100 centimeters. If their horizontal velocities at t

scoundrel [369]

Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Vertical distance of first water jet = $y_1=50 cm$

Vertical distance of second water jet = $y_2=100 cm$

Horizontal velocity of first water jet = $u_y_ 1=1 m/s$

Horizontal velocity of second water jet = $u_y_2=0.5 m/s$

Vertical distance of first water jet:

$y_1=(u_y_1)t_1+\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2$

$u_y_1=0,(u_y_1)t_1=0$

$t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2y_1}{g}}$ ...(1)

Similarly, Vertical distance of second water jet:

$y_2=(u_y_2)t_2+\frac{1}{2}gt_2^2$

$u_y_2=0,(u_y_2)t_2=0$

$t_2=\sqrt{\frac{2y_2}{g}}$ ...(2)

Horizontal distance of first water jet:

$x_1=(u_x_1)t_1+\frac{1}{2}at_1^2$

There is no acceleration in horizontal direction.

$a=0,at_1^2=0$

$x_1=(u_y_1)t_1$ ...(3)

Horizontal distance of second water jet:

$x_2=(u_x_2)t_2+\frac{1}{2}at_2^2$

$a=0,at_2^2=0$

$x_2=(u_x_2)t_2$ ...(4)

On dividing (3) and (4):

$\frac{x_1}{x_2}=\frac{(u_y_1)t_1}{(u_y_2)t_2}$

$\frac{x_1}{x_2}=\frac{u_y_1}{u_y_2}\times\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2y_1}{g}}}{\sqrt{\frac{2y_2}{g}}}}=\frac{u_y_1}{u_y_2}\sqrt{\frac{y_1}{y_2}}$

(from (1) and (2))

$\frac{x_1}{x_2}=\frac{1 m/s}{0.5 m/s}\sqrt{\frac{50 cm}{100 cm}}=1.41:1$

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
