Answer:

Efficiency of the pulley system is 66.7 %

Explanation:

It is given that,

Input force, $F_{in}=500\ lb$

Distance, d₁ = 2 feet

Output force, $F_{out}=50\ lb$

Distance, d₂ = 30 feet

The efficiency of pulley system is defined as ratio of output work done to the input work done i.e.

$\eta=\dfrac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}$

$\eta=\dfrac{500\times 2}{50\times 30}\times 100$

$\eta=66.7\%$

Hence, the efficiency of the pulley system is 66.7 %

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.

The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}$

1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is $\sqrt2 L/2 = 0.035m$

$V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} = 0$

The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.

2) $V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}$

$r_1 = 0.05\sqrt2m\\r_2 = 0.05m$

$V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05\sqrt2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.05}\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05} (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-1)\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (4\times 10^{-5})(-0.29)\\V_b = (-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})[tex]3) The work done on q3 by q1 and q2 is equal to the difference between energies. This is the work-energy theorem. So,[tex]W = U_b - U_a$

$U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_3}{r} = Vq_3$

$W = q_3(V_b - V_a) = q_3(V_b - 0)\\W = (-2\times10^{-6})(-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})\\W = \frac{5.8\times10^{-12}}{\pi\epsilon_0}$

I dnt know how to do it

NNADVOKAT [17]

Here's what you need to know about waves:

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Now ... The question gives you the speed and the frequency,
but they're stated in unusual ways, with complicated numbers.

Frequency: How many each second ?
The thing that's making the waves is vibrating 47 times in 26.9 seconds.
Frequency = (47) / (46.9 s) = 1.747... per second. (1.747... Hz)

Speed: How far a point on a wave travels in 1 second.
The crest of one wave travels 4.16 meters in 13.7 seconds.
Speed = (4.16 m / 13.7 sec) = 0.304... m/s

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Wavelength = (0.304 m/s) / (1.747 Hz) = 0.174 meter per second

Two particles, one with charge -5.45 × 10^-6 C and one with charge 4.39 × 10^-6 C, are 0.0209 meters apart. What is the magnitud

Levart [38]

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge 1, $q_1=-5.45\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Charge 2, $q_2=4.39\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Distance between charges, r = 0.0209 m

1. The electric force is given by :

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{r^2}$

$F=9\times 10^9\times \dfrac{-5.45\times 10^{-6}\times 4.39\times 10^{-6}}{(0.0209)^2}$

F = -492.95 N

2. Distance between two identical charges, $r=0.0209\ m$

Electric force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kq_3^2}{r^2}$

$q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q_3=\sqrt{\dfrac{492.95\times (0.0209)^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q_3=4.89\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Hence, this is the required solution.
