1 answer:

7 0

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers

Two charges are located in the xx–yy plane. If q1=−4.10 nCq1=−4.10 nC and is located at (x=0.00 m,y=1.080 m)(x=0.00 m,y=1.080 m)

Answer:

Explanation:

Due to first charge , electric field at origin will be oriented towards - ve of y axis.

magnitude

Ey = -8.99 x 10⁹ x 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.08² j

= - 31.6 j N/C

Due to second charge electric field at origin

= 8.99 x 10⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.2²+ .6²

= 8.99 x 10⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.8

= 18 N/C

It is making angle θ where

Tanθ = .6 / 1.2

= 26.55°

this field in vector form

= - 18 cos 26.55 i - 18 sin26.55 j

= - 16.10 i - 8.04 j

Total field

= - 16.10 i - 8.04 j + ( - 31.6 j )

= -16.1 i - 39.64 j .

Ex = - 16.1 i

Ey = - 39.64 j .

Will the velocity of the book change as it moves across the surface with NO friction? Explain your answer.

MakcuM [25]

No velocity will not be changed

Why?

According to Newtons 1st law the velocity of a moving object remains unchanged unless a external force affect that.

Which dog has the most kinetic energy

Blababa [14]

The formula to find the kinetic energy is:

Ek= 1/2 × m × v^2

1. Ek= 1/2×15×3^2
= 67.5 J

2.Ek= 1/2×8×4^2
=64 J

3.Ek= 1/2×12×5^2
= 150 J

4.Ek= 1/2×10×6^2
= 180 J

So the fourth dog has the most kinetic energy.

An electron accelerated from rest through a voltage of 780 v enters a region of constant magnetic field. part a part complete if

maxonik [38]

The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of $\Delta V=780 V$ , so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = e \Delta V$
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2 e \Delta V}{m} } = \sqrt{ \frac{2(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(780 V)}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg} }=1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s$

Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
$evB=m \frac{v^2}{r}$
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
$B= \frac{mv}{er}= \frac{(9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg)(1.66 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}{(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(0.25 m)} =3.8 \cdot 10^{-4} T$

g We saw in class that in a pendulum the string does no work. We also saw that the normal force does no work on an object slidin

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

From question (a) and (b) the pendulum motion is perpendicular to the force so the normal force will do no work and the tension in the string of the pendulum will not work

$i.e Normal \ Force(N) = mg cos \theta$

And $\theta = 90$ so

$N = 0$

An example will be a where a stone is attached to the end of a string and is made to move in a circular motion while keeping the other end of the string in a fixed position

A dog walking along a surface which has friction, here the frictional force would acting in the direction of the motion and this would do positive work
