Answer:

b)determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

Explanation:

The electric Field is a vector quantity, in other words it has a magnitude and a direction. On the other hand, the electric field follows the law of superposition. The electric field produced by two elements is equal to the sum of the electric fields produced by each element when the other element is not present. in other words, the total electric field is solved determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

A Cat is on a balcony floor (90cm below the railing), keenly eyeing a butterfly hovering 60 cm above the railing. With what spee
GenaCL600 [577]

We will have the following:

First, the equation to use is the following:

d=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Now, we transform the total distance the cat would need to travel:

90\operatorname{cm}+60\operatorname{cm}=150\operatorname{cm}\cdot\frac{1m}{100\operatorname{cm}}=1.5m

So, the cat would need to travel 1.5 meters. ("d" in the equation).

Now, using the speed given we determine the time it would take the cat to traverse the 1.5 meters:

t=\frac{1.5m\cdot1s}{0.45m}\Rightarrow t=\frac{10}{3}\Rightarrow t=3.333\ldots

So, the time it would take the cat to traverse the distance will be approximately 3.33 seconds.

Now, we know that the acceleration will be given by Earth's gravity, so:

1.5m=v_0(\frac{10}{3}s)+\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{9.8m}{s^2})(\frac{10}{3}s)^2\Rightarrow1.5m=v_0(\frac{10}{3}s)+(-\frac{490}{9}m)\Rightarrow\frac{1007}{18}m=v_0(\frac{10}{3}s)\Rightarrow v_0=\frac{1007}{60}\frac{m}{s}\Rightarrow v_0=16.78333\ldots

So, the initial vvelocity the cat must leave the floor in order to arrive at the butterfly with the optimum pouncing speed of 0.45 m/s is approximately 16.78 m/s or exactly 1007/60 m/s.

A ball is dropped from a rooftop 60m high. <br> How long is the ball in the air?
alina1380 [7]

Answer: 3.49 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equation of motion:

y=y_{o}+V_{o}t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (1)

Where:

y=0 m is the final height of the ball

y_{o}=60 m is the initial height of the ball

V_{o}=0 m/s is the initial velocity (the ball was dropped)

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleratio due gravity

t is the time

Isolating t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}} (2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (60 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (3)

Finally we find the time the ball is in the air:

t=3.49 s (4)

Which of the following is not a common property of basesp
Hatshy [7]

Explanation:

Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Indicator compounds such as litmus can be used to detect bases. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. The strength of bases is measured on the pH scale.

1). The forces inside the atom are always, totally, completely, electrostatic forces. Those are so awesomely stronger than the gravitational forces that the gravitational ones are totally ignored, and it doesn't change a thing.

Parts 2 and 3 of this question are here to show us how the forces compare.

Part-2). The electrostatic force between a proton and an electron.

The constant in the formula is 9x10^9, and the elementary charge is 1.602 x 10^-19 Coulomb ... same charge on both particles, but opposite signs.

I worked through it 3 times and got 0.000105 N every time. So the best choice is 'C', even though we disagree by a factor of ten times. You'll see in part-3 that it really doesn't make any difference.

Part-3). Gravitational force between a proton and an electron.

The constant in Newton's gravity formula is 6.67x10^-11 . You'll have to look up the masses of the proton and the electron.

I got 2.163 x 10^-55 N ... exactly choice-C. yay !

Now, after we've slaved over a hot calculator all night, the thing that really amazes us is not only that the electrostatic force is stronger than the gravitational force, but HOW MUCH stronger ... 10^51 TIMES stronger. That's a thousand trillion trillion trillion trillion times stronger !

That's why it has no effect on the measurements if we just forget all about the gravitational forces inside the atom.
