Answer: r^-1

Explanation:

V = (k × Q) / r, where V is electric potential, k is constant and r is distance from charge.

Since Q will not change, it can be considered a constant too.

So, we can write V ∝ 1/r

which is same as V ∝ r^-1

A 15.5 kg block is pulled by two forces. The first is 11.8N at a 53.7 angle and the second is 22.9 N at a -15.8 angle. What is t

anygoal [31]

Answer:

α = 6.43° (Angle respect to the horizontal axis-x)

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Since we have two forces and we know their magnitudes and their directions, we can sum these into their X & y components, in this way we can find the resulting force and apply it in Newton's second law.

F1x = 11.8*cos(53.7) = 6.98 [N]

F1y = 11.8*sin(53.7) = 9.5 [N]

Now with the second force:

F2x = 22.9*cos (15.8) = 22.03 [N]

F2y = - 22.9*sin (15.8) = - 6.23 [N]

Now we sum the forces in the x and y axes:

Fx = F1x + F2x = 6.98 + 22.03 = 29.01 [N]

Fy = F1y + F2y = 9.5 - 6.23 = 3.27 [N]

Now using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the resulting force.

F = √(Fx² + Fy²)

F = √ (29.01)² + (3.27)²

F = 29.19 [N]

Using Newton's second law, we have:

F = m*a

where:

F = force = 29.19 [N]

m = mass = 15.5 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

a = 29.19/15.5

a = 1.88 [m/s²]

The direction of the acceleration is the same direction of the force, therefore we need to find the angle.

tan(α) = Fy/Fx

tan(α) = 3.27/29.01

α = tan⁻¹(0.1127)

α = 6.43° (Angle respect to the horizontal axis-x)

Concept map for kinetic energy, work and power

Helen [10]

Kinetic energy: the energy of motion

Work: the change in kinetic energy

Power: the rate of work done

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its motion. Mathematically, it is given by:

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

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

The work done an object is the amount of energy transferred; according to the energy-work theorem, it is equal to the change in kinetic energy of an object:

$W=K_f - K_i$
