Answer:

a) 0 b) 29.9 N c) 21.7 N d) -17.4 N e) -13.0 N f) -17.4 N  g) 16.9 N

h) 24.3 N θ = 44.2º

Explanation:

a) As the electric force is exerted along the line that joins the charges, due to any of the charges A or C has non-zero x-coordinates, the force has no x components either.

So, Fcax = 0

b) Similarly, as Fx = 0, the entire force is directed along the y-axis, and is going upward, due both charges repel each other.

Fyca = k*qa*qc / rac² = (9.10⁹ N*m²/C²*(2.79)*(1.07)*10⁻⁸ C²) / 9.00 m²

Fyca = 29. 9 N

c) In order to get the magnitude of the force exerted by B on C, we need to know first the distance between both charges:

rbc² = (3.00 m)² + (4.00m)² = 25.0 m²

⇒ Fbc = k*qb*qc / rbc² = (9.10⁹ N*m²/C²*(5.64)*(1.07)*10⁻⁸ C²) / 25.0 m²

⇒ Fbc = 21.7 N

d) In order to get the x component of Fbc, we need to get the projection of Fcb over the x axis, taking into account that the force on particle C is attractive, as follows:

Fbcₓ = Fbc * cos (-θ) where θ, is the angle that makes the line of action of the force, with the x-axis, so we can write:

cos θ = x/r = 4.00 / 5.00 m =

Fcbx = 21.7*(-0.8) = -17.4 N

e) The  y component can be calculated in the same way, projecting the force over the y-axis, as follows:

Fcby = Fcb* sin (-θ) = 21.7* (-3.00/5.00) = -13.0 N

f) The sum of both x components gives :

Fcx = 0 + (-17.4 N) = -17.4 N

g) The sum of both y components gives :

Fcy = 29.9 N + (-13.0 N) = 16.9 N

h) The magnitude of the resultant electric force acting on C, can be found just applying Pythagorean Theorem, as follows:

Fc = √(Fcx)²+(Fcy)² = (17.4)² + (16.9)²\sqrt{((17.4)^{2} +(16.9)^{2}} = 24.3 N

The angle from the horizontal can be found as follows:

Ф = arc tg (16.9 / 17.4) = 44.2º

A bucket of mass M (when empty) initially at rest and containing a mass of water is being pulled up a well by a rope exerting a
Naily [24]

Answer:

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

Explanation:

Given that

Constant rate of leak =R

Mass at time T ,m=RT

At any time t

The mass = Rt

So the total mass in downward direction=(M+Rt)

Now force equation

(M+Rt) a =P- (M+Rt) g

a=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

We know that

a=\dfrac{dV}{dt}

\dfrac{dV}{dt}=\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g

\int_{0}^{V}V=\int_0^T \left(\dfrac{P}{M+Rt}-g\right)dt

V=\dfrac{P}{R}\ ln\dfrac{M+RT}{M}-gT

V=\dfrac{PT}{m}\ ln\dfrac{M+m}{M}-gT

This is the velocity of bucket at the instance when it become empty.

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium? What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitation
JulijaS [17]

Question:

What two forces are balanced in what we call gravitational equilibrium?

A) the electromagnetic force and gravity

B) outward pressure and the strong force

C) outward pressure and inward gravity

D) the strong force and gravity

E) the strong force and kinetic energy

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Outward Pressure and Inward gravity                                                        

Explanation:

Gravitational equilibrium is a balance between the inward pull of gravity and the outward push of internal gas pressure. It also refers to the condition of a star in which the weight of overlying layers at each point is balanced by the total pressure at that point.

As the weight increases in the lower layers of the sun, the pressure also increases to maintain this balance.   So you find that the outward push of pressure balances the inward pull of gravity thus creating an equilibrium.

Why is gravitational equilibrium important?

The simple answer is <u>balance. </u> If for instance the sun as a stable star (which has gravitational equilibrium) loses it's balance, it becomes highly unstable and prone to violent outbursts. These outbursts are caused by the very high radiation pressure at the star's upper layers, which blows significant portions of the matter at the "surface" into space during eruptions that may rage for several years. Of course such a condition is adverse to the existence and support of life.

Cheers!

how can there be so many different substances in the world if there are only a few elements that are common? 
LuckyWell [14K]
-- If there are only  <em>10</em>  elements in the universe that can make compound molecules, and a compound molecule can be formed by combining  1,  2,  3, or  4  different elements, then that's already the possibility of  at least 400 different molecules.

-- There are many more than  10  elements that can combine to form compound molecules.

-- Every single "<em>organic</em>" molecule, of which there are thousands, is the combination of <em>carbon</em> with other elements.

-- Most all of the substances that can be distilled out of oil, including the paraffin waxes, the alcohols, gasoline, kerosene, butane, propane, octane, and natural gas, are made of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, only with different numbers of each one. 

-- Plastics, drugs, rubber, and DNA are examples of molecules that are made of <em>hundreds</em> of atoms.

An object of 4 kg has a speed of 6 m/s and moves a distance of 8 m. What is its kinetic energy in joules.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ke = 72 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on the speed of and object and its mass.

Data

mass = m = 4 kg

speed = v = 6 m/s

distance = d =  8 m

Kinetic energy = ke = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2) mv²

Substitution

Ke = (1/2) (4)(6)²

Simplification

Ke = (1/2)(4)(36)

Ke = (1/2)(144)

Ke = 72 Joules

Result

Ke = 72 J
