Answer:

 F = 0.111015 N

Explanation:

For this exercise the force is given by Coulomb's law

        F = k q₁q₂ / r₂₁²

we calculate the electric force of the other two particles on the charge q1

Charges q₁ and q₂

the distance between them is

          r₁₂ = y₁ -y₂

          r₁₂ = 0.30 + 0.30

          r₁₂ = 0.60 m

let's calculate

          F₁₂ = 9 10⁹ 2 10⁻⁶ 2 10⁻⁶ / 0.60 2

          F₁₂ = 1 10⁻¹ N

directed towards the positive side of the y-axis

Charges 1 and 3

Let's find the distance using the Pythagorean Theorem

             r₁₃ = RA [(0.40-0) 2 + (0-0.30) 2]

             r₁₃ = 0.50 m

            F₁₃ = 9 10⁹ 2 10⁻⁶ 4 10⁻⁶ / 0.50²

            F₁₃ = 1.697 10⁻² N

The direction of this force is on the line that joins the two charges (1 and 3), let's use trigonometry to find the components of this force

           tan θ = y / x

           θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

          θ = tan⁻¹ 0.3 / 0.4

           tea = 36.87º

    The angle from the positive side of the x-axis is

         θ ’= 180 - θ

        θ ’= 180 - 36.87

        θ ’= 143.13º

       sin143.13 = F_13y / F₁₃

           F_13y = F₁₃ sin 143.13

           F{13y} = 1.697 10⁻² sin 143.13

           F_13y = 1.0183 10⁻² N

            cos 143.13 = F_13x / F₁₃

           F₁₃ₓ = F₁₃ cos 143.13

           F₁₃ₓ = 1.697 10⁻² cos 143.13

           F₁₃ₓ = -1.357 10-2 N

Now we can find the components of the resultant force

          Fx = F13x + F12x

          Fx = -1,357 10-2 +0

          Fx = -1.357 10-2 N

          Fy = F13y + F12y

         Fy = 1.0183 10-2 + ​​1 10-1

          Fy = 0.110183 N

We use the Pythagorean theorem to find the modulus

         F = Ra (Fx2 + Fy2)

         F = RA [(1.357 10-2) 2 + 0.110183 2]

         F = 0.111015 N

Let's use trigonometry for the angles

         tan tea = Fy / Fx

          tea = tan-1 (0.110183 / -0.01357)

          tea = 1,448 rad

to find the angle about the positive side of the + x axis

           tea '= pi - 1,448

           Tea = 1.6936 rad

When you ride a bike and make a turn, you can feel your body trying to move in the same direction the bike was going. Which of N
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Newtons second law explains this the most because for every action their is an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction of you turning, causes the reaction of your whole body to turn with the bike.

A simple harmonic oscillator completes 1550 cycles in 30 min. (a) Calculate the period. s (b) Calculate the frequency of the mot
nordsb [41]

Answer:

(a) 1.16 s

(b)0.861 Hz

Explanation:

(a) Period : The period of a simple harmonic motion is the time in seconds, required for a object undergoing oscillation to complete one cycle.

From the question,

If 1550 cycles is completed in (30×60) seconds,

1 cycle is completed in x seconds

x = 30×60/1550

x = 1.16 s

Hence the period is 1.16 seconds.

(b) Frequency : This can be defined as the number of cycles that is completed in one seconds, by an oscillating body. The S.I unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz).

Mathematically, Frequency is given as

F = 1/T ........................... Equation 1

Where F = frequency, T = period.

Given: T = 1.16 s.

Substitute into equation 1

F = 1/1.16

F = 0.862 Hz

Hence thee frequency = 0.862 Hz

A gas is placed in a storage tank at a pressure of 49.2 atm at 39.0C . As a safety device, a small metal plug in the tank is mad
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the final pressure of the system, we use the equation given by Gay-Lussac Law. This law states that pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure.

Mathematically,

\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1\text{ and }T_1 are the initial pressure and temperature of the gas.

P_2\text{ and }T_2 are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

We are given:

P_1=49.2 atm\\T_1=39.0^oC = 312.15 K\\P_2=?\\T_2=198^oC=471.15 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{49.2atm }{312.15 K}=\frac{P_2}{471.15 K}\\\\P_2=74.26 atm

The maximum pressure that will be attained in the tank before the plug melts and releases gas should be less than 74.26 atm.
