Answer:

False

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The action-reaction pair act on different bodies. Thus, they do not cancel each other.

For example, in order to walk, we push the floor backwards. This is action force which the foot applies to the floor. The floor pushes the foot forward. This is the reaction force. The amount of force is equal but the direction is opposite. Also, the bodies on which action force and reaction force are acting are different.

Hence, the given statement is false.

Sometimes. If the forces are equal, they will cancel out and the net force will be zero. But if the forces are not equal, the object will move away from the stronger force because there is still a net force.

Un vas plin cu lichid cântăreşte 175kg. Ceea ce reprezintă de 5 ori masa vasului gol. Ştiind că volumul interior al vasului este

Mariana [72]

a) Density of the liquid: $823.5kg/m^3$

b) Weight of the liquid: 1372 N

Explanation:

Translation of the text:

"A full tank with liquid weighs 175kg. Which is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel. Knowing that the inside volume of the vessel is 0.17kl, calculate:

a) the density of the liquid;

b) the weight of the liquid."

We know that the full tank with liquid has a total mass of M = 175 kg. We can write the total mass as

$M=m_L + m_V$ (1)

where

$m_L$ is the mass of the liquid

$m_V$ is the mass of the vessel

We also know that the total mass M is 5 times the mass of the empty vessel, so we have:

$M=5m_V\\m_V=\frac{M}{5}=\frac{175}{5}=35 kg$

which is the mass of the empty vessel.

Therefore, we can find the mass of the liquid only using (1):

$m_L=M-m_V=175-35=140 kg$

The density of the liquid is given by

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

where

m = 140 kg (mass of the liquid)

V = 0.170 kL = 170 L = $0.170 m^3$ (volume of the liquid, which is equal to the volume of the vessel)

So we get

$d=\frac{140}{0.170}=823.5kg/m^3$

The weight of a body is given by

$F=mg$

where

m is its mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

For the liquid in this problem, we have

m = 140 kg (mass)

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration due to gravity)

Therefore, its weight is

$F=(140)(9.8)=1372 N$

Two charged point-like objects are located on the x-axis. The point-like object with charge q1 = 4.60 µC is located at x1 = 1.25

mylen [45]

Answer:

a) the total electric potential is 2282000 V

b) the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V

Explanation:

Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the image below;

a) Determine the total electric potential (in V) at the origin.

We know that; electric potential due to multiple charges is equal to sum of electric potentials due to individual charges

Electric potential at p in the diagram 1 below is;

Vp = V1 + V2

Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

we know that; Coulomb constant, k = 9 × 10⁹ C

q1 = 4.60 uC = 4.60 × 10⁻⁶ C

r1 = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m

q2 = -2.06 uC = -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ C

location x2 = −1.80 cm; so r2 = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

so we substitute

Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0125 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.018 )

Vp = (3312000) + ( -1030000 )

Vp = 3312000 -1030000

Vp = 2282000 V

Therefore, the total electric potential is 2282000 V

the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm).

As illustrated in the second image;

r1² = 0.015² + 0.0125²

r1 = √[ 0.015² + 0.0125² ]

r1 = √0.00038125

r1 = 0.0195

Also

r2² = 0.015² + 0.018²

r2 = √[ 0.015² + 0.018² ]

r2 = √0.000549

r2 = 0.0234

Now, Electric Potential at P in the second image below will be;

Vp = V1 + V2

Vp = kq1/r1 + kq2/r2

we substitute

Vp = ( 9 × 10⁹ × 4.60 × 10⁻⁶/ 0.0195 ) + ( 9 × 10⁹ × -2.06 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.0234 )

Vp = 2123076.923 + ( -762962.962 )

Vp = 2123076.923 -792307.692

Vp = 1330769.23 V

Therefore, the total electric potential (in V) at the point with coordinates (0, 1.50 cm) is 1330769.23 V
