Calculate the force needed to bring a 950-kg car to rest from a speed of 90.0 km/h in a distance of 120 m (a fairly typical dist

ance for a non-panic stop). (b) Suppose instead the car hits a concrete abutment at full speed and is brought to a stop in 2.00 m.

Answer:

a)

2474 N

b)

148438 N

Explanation:

(a)

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance for the car = 120 m

F = force needed to bring the car to rest

m = mass of the car = 950 kg

Using Work-change in kinetic energy theorem

F d Cos180 = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

F (120) (-1) = (0.5) (950) (0² - 25²)

F = 2474 N

b)

v₀ = initial velocity of the car = 90 km/h = 25 m/s

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s

d = stopping distance for the car = 2 m

F = force needed to bring the car to rest

m = mass of the car = 950 kg

Using Work-change in kinetic energy theorem

F d Cos180 = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

F (2) (-1) = (0.5) (950) (0² - 25²)

F = 148438 N

A charge is divided q1 and (q-q1)what will be the ratio of q/q1 so that force between the two parts placed at a given distance i

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$q / q_{1} = 2$ , assuming that $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ are point charges.

Explanation:

Let $k$ denote the coulomb constant. Let $r$ denote the distance between the two point charges. In this question, neither $k$ and $r$ depend on the value of $q_{1}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force between $q_{1}$ and $(q - q_{1})$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k\, q_{1}\, (q - q_{1})}{r^{2}} \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\end{aligned}$ .

Find the first and second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ . (Note that $0 < q_{1} < q$ .)

First derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d}{d q_{1}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q\, q_{1} - {q_{1}}^{2})\right] \\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, \left[\frac{d}{d q_{1}} [q\, q_{1}] - \frac{d}{d q_{1}}[{q_{1}}^{2}]\right]\\ &= \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\end{aligned}$ .

Second derivative:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{d^{2}}{{d q_{1}}^{2}}[F] &= \frac{d}{d q_{1}} \left[\frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1})\right] \\ &= \frac{(-2)\, k}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

The value of the coulomb constant $k$ is greater than $0$ . Thus, the value of the second derivative of $F$ with respect to $q_{1}$ would be negative for all real $r$ . $F\!$ would be convex over all $q_{1}$ .

By the convexity of $\! F$ with respect to $\! q_{1} \!$ , there would be a unique $q_{1}$ that globally maximizes $F$ . The first derivative of $F\!$ with respect to $q_{1}\!$ should be $0$ for that particular $\! q_{1}$ . In other words:

$\displaystyle \frac{k}{r^{2}}\, (q - 2\, q_{1}) = 0$ <em>.</em>

$2\, q_{1} = q$ .

$q_{1} = q / 2$ .

In other words, the force between the two point charges would be maximized when the charge is evenly split:

$\begin{aligned} \frac{q}{q_{1}} &= \frac{q}{q / 2} = 2\end{aligned}$ .
