Answer:

The net Electric field at the mid point is 289.19 N/C

Given:

Q = + 71 nC = 71\times 10^{- 9} C

Q' = + 42 nC = 42\times 10^{- 9} C

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

\vec{E} = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E} = \frac{71\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E} = 708.03 N/C

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}

\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}

\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C

(a) A daredevil is attempting to jump his motorcycle over a line of buses parked end to end by driving up a 32º ramp at a speed
stiks02 [169]

a) 7 buses

b) 6.8 m

Explanation:

a)

The motion of the motorcycle is a projectile motion, so it consists of 2 independent motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction

The initial components of the velocity of the motorcycle are:

v_x = u cos(32^{\circ})=(40.0)(cos 32^{\circ})=33.9 m/s\\v_y = u sin(32^{\circ})=(40.0)(sin 32^{\circ})=21.2 m/s

The equation for the vertical motion of the motorcycle is

y=h+u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2

where

y is the altitude at time t

h is the initial height

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

The bus top is at the same height of the initial ramp, so we have

y=h

And therefore, we can solve the equation for t, to find the time of flight:

0=u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t(u_y-\frac{1}{2}gt)=0\\t=\frac{2u_y}{g}=\frac{2(21.2)}{9.8}=4.33 s

Now we find what is the horizontal distance covered by the motorcycle in its jump, which is given by:

d=v_x t = (33.9)(4.33)=146.8 m

And since each bus has a length of L = 20.0 m, the number of buses that the motorcycle can clear with its jump is:

n=\frac{d}{L}=\frac{146.8}{20}=7.34

So, 7 buses.

b)

In the previous problem, we saw that the total range of the motion of the motorcycle is

d=146.8 m

And we said that this corresponds to 7 buses.

Each bus has a length of

L = 20 m

So, the total length of 7 buses is

L' = 7L=7(20)=140 m

Therefore, the range of the motorcycle is greater than the length of the buses by:

\Delta x = d-L'=146.8-140 = 6.8 m

which means he will miss the last bus by 6.8 meters.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!! Is a spring force a balanced force? Please, please help!
Jobisdone [24]

Explanation:

The forces acting on a massless object (spring, hook, string or wire, if considered massless) will always balance. Balanced forces acting on an object cause it to compress or stretch. The forces acting on a mass will never cancel.
