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.

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

$F_2 = 560 \ West$

Two small conducting point charges, separated by 0.4 m, carry a total charge of 200 C. They repel one another with a force of 12

Lunna [17]

Answer:

200 C

Explanation:

Let C1 and C2 be their charges. According to Coulomb's law

$F_C = k\frac{C_1C_2}{R^2}$

where k = $8.99\times10^9 nm^2/C^2$ is the constant, R = 0.4m is the distance between them, F = 120 N is their resulting charge force

$120 = 8.99\times10^9\frac{C_1C_2}{0.4^2}$

$C_1C_2 = \frac{120*0.4^2}{8.99\times10^9} = 2.13\times10^{-9}$

Since their total charge is 200C:

$C_1 + C_2 = 200$ or $C_1 = 200 - C_2$

We can substitute the above equation

$C_1C_2 = (200 - C_2)C_2 = 2.13\times10^{-9}$

$-C_2^2 +200C_2 - 2.13\times10^{-9} = 0$

$C= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$C= \frac{-200\pm \sqrt{(200)^2 - 4*(-1)*(-0.00000000213)}}{2*(-1)}$

$C= \frac{-200\pm200}{-2}$

$C = 1.06 \times 10^{-11}$ or $C \approx 200$

So the larger charge is C = 200 C

A pilot in a small plane encounters shifting winds. He flies 26.0 km northeast, then 45.0 km due north. From this point, he flie

cluponka [151]

Answer:

a) v₃ = 19.54 km, b) 70.2º north-west

Explanation:

This is a vector exercise, the best way to solve it is finding the components of each vector and doing the addition

vector 1 moves 26 km northeast

let's use trigonometry to find its components

cos 45 = x₁ / V₁

sin 45 = y₁ / V₁

x₁ = v₁ cos 45

y₁ = v₁ sin 45

x₁ = 26 cos 45

y₁ = 26 sin 45

x₁ = 18.38 km

y₁ = 18.38 km

Vector 2 moves 45 km north

y₂ = 45 km

Unknown 3 vector

x3 =?

y3 =?

Vector Resulting 70 km north of the starting point

R_y = 70 km

we make the sum on each axis

X axis

Rₓ = x₁ + x₃

x₃ = Rₓ -x₁

x₃ = 0 - 18.38

x₃ = -18.38 km

Y Axis

R_y = y₁ + y₂ + y₃

y₃ = R_y - y₁ -y₂

y₃ = 70 -18.38 - 45

y₃ = 6.62 km

the vector of the third leg of the journey is

v₃ = (-18.38 i ^ +6.62 j^ ) km

let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length

v₃ = √ (18.38² + 6.62²)

v₃ = 19.54 km

to find the angle let's use trigonometry

tan θ = y₃ / x₃

θ = tan⁻¹ (y₃ / x₃)

θ = tan⁻¹ (6.62 / (- 18.38))

θ = -19.8º

with respect to the x axis, if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x axis it is

θ’= 180 -19.8

θ’= 160.19º

I mean the address is

θ’’ = 90-19.8

θ = 70.2º

70.2º north-west

You drive a car 1600 ft to the east, then 2500 ft to the north. The trip took 2.5 minutes. What was the magnitude of your averag

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

$Velocity=6.03m/s$

Explanation:

Given data

Time t=2.5 minutes=150 seconds

Distance A=1600 ft=487.68 m........east

Distance B=2500 ft=762m ........north

To find

Average velocity

Solution

First we need to find the resultant distance magnitude.To find that we apply Pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse

So

$A^{2}+B^{2}=C^{2}\\ C=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}}\\ C=\sqrt{(487.68m)^{2}+(762m)^{2}}\\ C=904.7m$

$Velocity=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Velocity=\frac{904.7m}{150s}\\Velocity=6.03m/s$

How to find the gradient of a velocity time graph

The area-

The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.
