Two identical small charged spheres hang in equilibrium with equal masses (0.02kg). The length of the strings is equal (0.18m) a

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The value is $q = 3.4 *10^{-6} \ C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of each sphere is $m_1 = m_2 = m = 0.020 \ kg$

The length of the string is $l = 0.18 \ m$

The angle of with the vertical is $\theta = 7^o$

The acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$

Generally the force acting between the forces is mathematically represented as

$F = T cos \theta = \frac{k* q^2}{ r^2}$

=> $T cos \theta = \frac{k* q^2}{ r^2}$

Generally from Pythagoras theorem the radius of the circular curve created by the force is

$r = 2 L sin (\theta )$

=> $r = 2* 0.180 sin (7)$

=> $r = 0.043 \ m$

=> $q = tan \theta * \frac{m * g * r^2 }{k}$

=> $q = tan(7)* \frac{ 0.02 * 9.8 * 0.043^2 }{9*10^{9}}$

=> $q = 3.4 *10^{-6} \ C$

An acorn with a mass of 0.300 kilograms falls from a tree. What is its kinetic energy when it reaches a velocity of 5.oo m/s?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer: 3.75 joules

Explanation:

Given that:

Mass of acorn = 0.300 kilograms

velocity = 5.oo m/s

Kinetic energy = ?

Since, kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, its value depends on the mass M and velocity V of the acorn.

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 0.300kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.5 x 0.3kg x (5.00m/s)^2

= 0.15 x (5.00m/s)^2

= 3.75 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the falling acorn is 3.75 joules

A particle starts from the origin at t = 0 with an initial velocity of 4.8 m/s along the positive x axis.If the acceleration is

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Part a)

Velocity = 6.9 m/s

Part b)

Position = (3.6 m, 5.175 m)

Explanation:

Initial position of the particle is ORIGIN

also it initial speed is along +X direction given as

$v_x = 4.8 m/s$

now the acceleration is given as

$\vec a = -3.2 \hat i + 4.6 \hat j$

when particle reaches to its maximum x coordinate then its velocity in x direction will become zero

so we will have

$v_f = v_i + at$

$0 = 4.8 - 3.2 t$

$t = 1.5 s$

Part a)

the velocity of the particle at this moment in Y direction is given as

$v_f_y = v_i + at$

$v_f_y = 0 + 4.6(1.5)$

$v_f_y = 6.9 m/s$

Part b)

X coordinate of the particle at this time

$x = v_x t + \frac{1}{2}a_x t^2$

$x = 4.8(1.5) - \frac{1}{2}(3.2)(1.5^2)$

$x = 3.6 m$

Y coordinate of the particle at this time

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2}a_y t^2$

$y = 0(1.5) + \frac{1}{2}(4.6)(1.5^2)$

$y = +5.175 m$

so position is given as (3.6 m, 5.175 m)
