Answer:

c) 4.2*10^{-5}C

Explanation:

Coulomb's law says that the force exerted between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them, and is given by the expression:

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}

where k is a proportionality constant with the value k=9*10^{9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}

In this case q_{1}=q_{2}=q, so we have:

F=\frac{kq^{2}}{r^{2}}

Solving the equation for q, we have:

kq^{2}=Fr^{2}

q^{2}=\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}

q=\sqrt{\frac{Fr^{2}}{k}}

Replacing the given values:

q=\sqrt{\frac{4.0N*(2.0m)^{2}}{9*10^{-9}\frac{Nm^{2}}{C^{2}}}}

q=4.2*10^{-5}C

Julie throws a ball to her friend Sarah. The ball leaves Julie's hand a distance 1.5 meters above the ground with an initial spe
Lisa [10]

Answer:

1) v₀x = 13.76 m/s

2) v₀y = 19.66 m/s

3) ymax = 21.199 m

4) X = 55.1746 m

5) and 6) y = 18.4 m

Explanation:

1) v₀x = v₀*Cos α = 24 m/s* Cos 55° = 13.76 m/s

2) v₀y = v₀*Sin α = 24 m/s* Sin 55° = 19.66 m/s

3) ymax = y₀ + (v₀y²/(2g)) = 1.5 m + ((19.66 m/s)²/(2*9.81 m/s²)) = 21.199 m

4) We can use this equation

y = y₀ + (tan α)*x – (g / (2* v₀x²))*x²

where y = y₀ = 1.5 m

then

1.5 = 1.5 + tan (55°)*x - (9.81 / (2* (13.76)²))*x²

⇒   0.02588 x² - 1.42815 x = 0

Solving this equation we get

x₁ = 0     and    x₂ = 55.1746 m

The distance between the two girls is 55.1746 m

5) and 6) If   v₀x = 15 m/s = vx   and   ymax = 24 m

y = ?   when x = (xmax/2)

ymax = y₀ + (v₀y²/(2g)) ⇒ v₀y = √(2g*(ymax - y₀))

⇒ v₀y = √(2(9.81 m/s²)(24 m - 1.5 m)) = 21.01 m/s

then we get α' as follows

α' = tan⁻¹(v₀y/v₀x) = tan⁻¹(21.01 m/s/15 m/s) = 54.47°

v₀ = √(v₀x² + v₀y²) = √((15 m/s)² + (21.01 m/s)²) = 25.81 m/s

Now we can apply the equation of the path

y = ymax - ((gx²)/(2v₀²))

⇒  y = 24m - ((9.81)(55.1746/2)²/(2*25.81²))

⇒  y = 18.4 m

A 50 Kg box sits at rest on a 30 degree ramp where the coef of static friction is 0.5773. If your push was directed at an angle
emmasim [6.3K]

<u>Given data:</u>

m= 50 Kg,

W= m×g = 50 × 9.81 = 490.5 N

ramp angle (α) = 30 degrees,

coefficient of friction (μs) = 0.5773,

Push at an angle (Θ) = 40 degrees,

Determine: Push to get box move up (P)=?

From the figure,

Resolving the forces along the plane

W sinα + μs.R = P cos Θ       --------------------- (i)

Resolving the forces perpendicular to the inclined plane

W cosα = R+Psin Θ  =>  R= W cosα - Psin Θ -------------- (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) and keeping <em>μs = tan Φ, Φ = Θ </em>

<em>Pmin = W sin( α +Θ  )</em>

<em>          = W[ sin α.Cos Θ + cos α.sin Θ]</em>

<em>           = 490.5 [ (sin 30.cos40) + (cos30.sin 40)]</em>

<em>           = 460.9 N</em>

<em>Minimum push required to move the box up the ramp is 460.9 N</em>
