A positive charge Q is placed at the origin. Four other positive charges are placed on a circle in the x-y plane centered on Q a

s shown. The top charge is located on the y axis and has a magnitude of 3q. The three bottom charges are symmetric about the y axis as shown and each has magnitude q.
1) Which of the following statements best describes FX, the x component of the net force on the charge at the origin
FX > 0
FX = 0
FX < 0

3) For the collection of charges shown in the above problem, which of the following statements best describes FY, the y component of the net force on the charge at the origin
FY > 0
FY = 0
FY < 0

1. <span>FX = 0 since the bottom charges are symmetrical about the y axis and the top charge is aligned with the y-axis
3. </span><span>FY > 0 since the bottom charges do not equate the top charge. The bottom charges have horizontal components which is less than q and adding them all, will not result to 3q.</span>

The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) can be determined by the following equation:

 IMA= Input distance/Output distance

 The Input distance and Output distance are:

 Input distance=220 meters

 Output distance=110 meters

 When you substitute in the equation of the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA), you obtain:

 IMA= Input distance/Output distance

 IMA= 220 meters/110 meters

 IMA=2

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. Complete the following statemen
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4

Explanation:

A ball is whirled on the end of a string in a horizontal circle of radius R at constant speed v. The centripetal acceleration is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{R}

We need to find how the "centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4"

It can be done by keeping the speed fixed and decreasing the radius by a factor of 4 such that,

R' = R/4

New centripetal acceleration will be,

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R'}

a'=\dfrac{v^2}{R/4}

a'=4\times \dfrac{v^2}{R}

a'=4\times a

So, the centripetal acceleration of the ball can be increased by a factor of 4.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

M_c = 100.8 Nm

Explanation:

Given:

F_a = 2.5 KN

Find:

Determine the moment of this force about C for the two cases shown.

Solution:

- Draw horizontal and vertical vectors at point A.

- Take moments about point C as follows:

                        M_c = F_a*( 42 / 150 ) *144

                        M_c = 2.5*( 42 / 150 ) *144

                        M_c = 100.8 Nm

- We see that the vertical component of force at point A passes through C.

Hence, its moment about C is zero.
