Answer:

-1.09m/sec^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= (Vf-Vi)/Time

=12-54.8

= -42.8

= -42.8/39

=-1.09

-ve sign is due to recoil of train

as it suddenly hits brakes.

Answer:1.097 m/s^2

Explanation:

a=(final velocity- initial velocity )/time

=(54.8-12)/39

=1.097 m/s^2

Answer:

$c=71.4m/s$

$\theta=8.54\textdegree$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Initial velocity of 60 m/s

Wind speed $V_w= 15 m/s \angle 45 \textdegree$

Generally Resolving vector mathematically

$sin(45\textdegree)15=10.6\\cos(45\textdegree)15=10.6$

Generally the equation Pythagoras theorem is given mathematically by

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

$c^2=10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2$

$c=\sqrt{10.6^2 +(10.6+60)^2}$

Therefore Resultant velocity (m/s)

$c=71.4m/s$

b)Resultant direction

Generally the equation for solving Resultant direction

$\theta=tan^-1(\frac{y}{x})$

Therefore

$\theta=tan^-1(\frac{10.6}{70.6})$

$\theta=8.54\textdegree$

A small drop of water is suspended motionless in air by a uniform electric field that is directed upward and has a magnitude of

Gennadij [26K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the electric field such as the smelting of the Force and the load (In this case the force is equivalent to the weight). Later we will apply the ratio of the total charge as a function of the multiplication of the number of electrons and their individual charge.

$E = \frac{mg}{q}$

Here,

m = mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity

Rearranging to find the charge,

$q = \frac{mg}{E}$

Replacing,

$q = \frac{(3.37*10^{-9})(9.8)}{11000}$

$q = 3.002*10^{-12}C$

Since the field is acting upwards the charge on the drop should be negative to balance it in air. The equation to find the number of electrons then is

$q = ne$

Here,

n = Number of electrons

e = Charge of each electron

$n = \frac{q}{e}$

Replacing,

$n = \frac{3.002*10^{-12}}{1.6*10^{-19}}$

$n = 2.44*10^7$

Therefore the number of electrons that reside on the drop is $2.44*10^7$

What is the overall moment?

Setler79 [48]

A moment causes a rotation about or axis. If the moment is to be taken about a point due to a force F, then in order for a moment to develop, the line of action cannot pass through that point...... the total moment was zero because the moment arm was zero as well
