The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.

what is the magnitude of the electric force between charges of 0.25 C and 0.11 C at a separation of 0.88 m? if the separation be

leonid [27]

$F = k \cdot \frac{q_1 q_2}{d} = 9 \cdot 10^{9} \cdot \frac{0.25 \cdot 0.11}{0.88} = 144 \cdot 5^{9} \ N.$

If the separation between the charges is increased then the magnitude of the force will increase in fact how the distance is being used in that formula.

One event occurs at the origin at t equal to zero, and a second events occurs at the point x=5m along the x-axis at time with ct

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The separation will be spacelike.

The first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

Explanation:

We can define the separation between two events (using the + - - - signature) as :

$(\Delta s )^2 = (ct_2 - c t_1 )^2 - (x_2 - x_1)^2$

where the separation will be lightlike if is equal to zero, timelike if is positive and spacelike if is negative.

For our problem

$c t_1 = 0$

$x_1 = 0$

$ct_2 = 4 \ m$

$x_2 = 5 \ m$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m - 0 )^2 - ( 5 \ m - 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m )^2 - ( 5 \ m 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = 16 \ m^ 2 - 25 \ m^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = - 9\ m^2$

So the separation will be spacelike, and the first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.
