Answer: X

Explanation:

In the given diagram, air moves as a result of convection currents. The air at the bottom, near the space heater gets heated up. As temperature rises, the density of air reduces. It becomes less dense and rises up. The least dense is at W. As the air rises, it gets cooled and becomes more dense and heavier and thus, sinks down. The highest density of air would be at X.

Hot air rises = it's less dense than cold air = falls

two point charges of magnitude 4.0 μc and -4.0 μc are situated along the x-axis at x1 = 2.0 m and x2 = -2.0 m, respectively. wha

user100 [1]

The electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

<h3>What is the electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge is E = kq/r² where

k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
q = 4.0 μC = 4.0 × 10 C and
r = distance of charge from origin = x₁ - 0 = 2.0 m - 0 m = 2.0 m

<h3>What is the electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge is E = kq'/r² where

k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
q' = -4.0 μC = -4.0 × 10 C and
r = distance of charge from origin = 0 - x₂ = 0 - (-2.0 m) = 0 m + 2.0 m = 2.0 m

Since both electric fields are equal in magnitude and directed along the negative x-axis, the net electric field at the origin is

E" = E + E'

= -2E

= -2kq/r²

<h3>What is the electric potential at the origin?</h3>

So, the electric potential at the origin is V = -∫₂⁰E".dr

= -∫₂⁰-2kq/r².dr

Since E and dr = dx are parallel and r = x, we have

= -∫₂⁰-2kqdxcos0/x²

= 2kq∫₂⁰dx/x²

= 2kq[-1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/0 - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞ - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞]

= -∞

So, the electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

John ( body mass= 65 kg) is taking off for a long jump . Horizontal accerleration ax is 5m/s^2 and vertical acceleration ay is 0

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

(a) The horizontal ground reaction force $F_{g,x}=325\, N$

(b) The vertical ground reaction force $F_{g,y}=696\, N$

(c) The resultant ground reaction force $F_g=768\, N$

Explanation:

Given

John mass , m = 65 kg

Horizontal acceleration , $a_x= 5.0 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Vertical acceleration , $a_y=0.9 \frac{m}{s^{2}}$

(a) Using Newton's 2nd law in horizontal direction

$F_{g,x}=ma_x$

=> $F_{g,x}=65\times 5\, N=325\, N$

Thus the horizontal ground reaction force $F_{g,x}=325\, N$

(b) Using Newton's 2nd law in vertical direction

$F_{g,y}-mg=ma_y$

=> $F_{g,y}=mg+ma_y$

=> $F_{g,y}=65\times (9.81+0.9)\, N=696\, N$

Thus the vertical ground reaction force $F_{g,y}=696\, N$

$F_g=(F_{g,x}^{2}+F_{g,y}^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}$

=> $F_g=(325^{2}+696^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\, N=768\, N$

=> $F_g=768\, N$

Thus the resultant ground reaction force $F_g=768\, N$
