The charges Q1=Q and Q2=4Q that are a distance d apart, repel each other with a force of 1.60 N. What would be the force between

gladu [14]

Answer:

50.4 N

Explanation:

Q1 = Q

Q2 = 4 Q

Distance = d

The force is given by

$F = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}$

$1.60 = \frac{4KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}$ .... (1)

Now,

Q3 = 2 Q

Q4 = 7 Q

distance = d/3

$F' = \frac{9KQ_{3}Q_{4}}{d^{2}}$

$F' = \frac{126KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}$ .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

F' / 1.60 = 126 / 4

F' = 50.4 N

Thus, the force is 50.4 N.

The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train $(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s$

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}$

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore $a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{a_cr}$

$v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}$

$v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s$

A Ferris wheel has diameter of 10 m. It rotates at a uniform rate and makes one revolution in 8.0 seconds. A person weighing 670

Nikolay [14]

Answer: 459.14 N

Explanation:

from the question, we have

diameter = 10 m

radius (r) = 5 m

weight (Fw) = 670 N

time (t) = 8 seconds

Circular motion has centripetal force and acceleration pointing perpendicular and inwards of the path, therefore we apply the equation below

∑ F = F c = F w − Fn ..............equation 1

Fn = Fw − Fc = mg − (mv^2 / r) ...................equation 2

substituting the value of v as (2πr / T) we now have

Fn = mg − (m(2πr / T )^2) / r

Fn= mg − (4(π^2)mr / T^2) ..........equation 3

Fw (mass of the person) = mg

therefore m = Fw / g

m = 670 / 9.8 = 68.367 kg

now substituting our values into equation 3

Fn = 670 - ( (4 x (π^2) x 68.367 x 5 ) / 8^2)

Fn = 670 - 210.86

Fn = 459.14 N
