In BPC

tan\theta =a/b = 3/4

\theta = tan^-1(0.75)

\theta = 36.87 deg

BP = sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = sqrt((3)^2 + (4)^2) = 5 m

Eb = k Q/BP^2 = (9 x 10^9) (16 x 10^-9)/5^2 = 5.76 N/C

Ea = k Q/AP^2 = (9 x 10^9) (16 x 10^-9)/4^2 = 9 N/C

Ec = k Q/CP^2 = (9 x 10^9) (16 x 10^-9)/3^2 = 16 N/C

Net electric field along X-direction is given as

Ex = Ea + Eb Cos36.87 = (9) + (5.76) Cos36.87 = 13.6 N/C

Net electric field along X-direction is given as

Ey = Ec + Eb Sin36.87 = (16) + (5.76) Sin36.87 = 19.5 N/C

Net electric field is given as

E = sqrt(Ex^2 + Ey^2) = sqrt((13.6)^2 + (19.5)^2) = 23.8 N/C

Two different liquids are poured into a jar until it is half full. The jar is then sealed shut and shaken. The liquids undergo a
Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.

A cyclist starts at rest and accelerates at 0.5 m/s2 south for 20 s. What is the cyclist’s final velocity
inn [45]

The cyclist's final velocity is 10 m/s.

From the question,

We are to determine the cyclist's final velocity.

<h3>Linear motion</h3>

From one of the equations of motion for linear motion, we have

v=u+at

Where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

and t is the time

From the given information,

The cyclist starts at rest, this means the initial velocity is 0 m/s

That is,

u = 0 m/s

Also

a = 0.5 m/s²

and t = 20 s

Putting the parameters into the equation, we get

v = 0 + 0.5 \times 20

v = 0 + 10

v = 10 \ m/s

Hence, the cyclist's final velocity is 10 m/s.

How do you explain newton’s second law
lana [24]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Explanation:

Hope you get it right!
