They can either cancel each other or add up to a resultant force with a certain direction and modulus.
Newton's second law states that F=m*a, where F is the resultant force, ie ΣF.

You wad up a piece of paper and throw it into the wastebasket. How far will
vitfil [10]

The range of the piece of paper is C) 1.4 m

Explanation:

The motion of the piece of paper is the motion of a projectile, which consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, with constant velocity

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with constant acceleration (the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2)

From the equation of motion, it is possible to find an expression for the range (the total horizontal distance covered) of a projectile, which is given by:

d=\frac{u^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

where

u is the initial velocity

\theta is the angle of projection

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the piece of paper in this problem,

u = 4.3 m/s

\theta=65^{\circ}

Substituting,

d=\frac{(4.3)^2 sin(2\cdot 65^{\circ})}{9.8}=1.45 m \sim 1.4 m

a car takes 125 ft to brake from 60 to 0 mph. Assume that the acceleration of the Prius is constant while braking. Find how long
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.84 seconds

Explanation:

t = ?

distance = 125

Velocity origianal = 60 m/hr = 88 ft/s

     AVERAGE velocity = 88/2 = 44 ft/s

44 t = 125

t = 125/44 = 2.84 s

Metal sphere A has a charge of − Q . −Q. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of + 2 Q . +2Q. The magnitude of the electric
Goshia [24]

Complete Question:

Metal sphere A has a charge of − Q . −Q. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of + 2 Q . +2Q. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere B due to sphere A is F . F. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B must be:

A. 2F

B. F/4

C. F/2

D. F

E. 4F

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

If both spheres can be treated as point charges, they must obey the Coulomb's law, that can be written as follows (in magnitude):

F =\frac{kQ*2Q}{r^{2} }

As it can be seen, this force is proportional to the product of the charges, so it must be the same for both charges.

As this force obeys also the Newton's 3rd Law, we conclude that the magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B, must be equal to the the magnitude of the force on the sphere B due to the sphere A, i.e., just F.
