Answer:

F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

|F_T|=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

Explanation:

I attached an image below with the scheme of the system:

The total force on the charge 2Q is the sum of the contribution of the forces between 2Q and the other charges:

F_T=F_Q+F_{3Q}+F_{4Q}\\\\F_T=k\frac{(Q)(2Q)}{R_1}\hat{i}+k\frac{(3Q)(2Q)}{R_2}\hat{j}+k\frac{(4Q)(2Q)}{R_3}[cos\theta \hat{i}+sin\theta \hat{j}]

the distances R1, R2 and R3, for a square arrangement is:

R1 = L

R2 = L

R3 = (√2)L

θ = 45°

F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[cos(45\°)\hat{i}+sin(45\°)\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=k\frac{2Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+k\frac{6Q^2}{L}\hat{j}+k\frac{8Q^2}{\sqrt{2}L}[\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{i}+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\hat{j}]\\\\F_T=6k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{i}+10k\frac{Q^2}{L}\hat{j}=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}[3\hat{i}+5\hat{j}]

and the magnitude is:

|F_T|=2k\frac{Q^2}{L}\sqrt{3^2+5^2}=2\sqrt{34}k\frac{Q^2}{L}

the direction is:

\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{5}{3})=59.03\°

Sonja [21]
<span>Astronomers are able to determine facts about the composition of these moons by examining the nature of light that is reflected from their surfacy using a method called spectroscopy. This process works because different materials tend to reflect light at different wavelengths So, by observing at which wavelengths a planetary body reflects light, astronomers are able to estimate its composition.</span>

It’s the 18th century and you are responsible for artillery. Victory hangs in the balance and it all depends on you making a goo
sweet [91]

Answer:

a) You should position the cannon at 981 m from the wall.

b) You could position the cannon either at 975 m or 7.8 m (not recomended).

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a graphical description of the problem.

In a parabolic motion, the position of the flying object is given by the vector position:

r =( x0 + v0 t cos α ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)

where:

r = position vector

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = module of the initial velocity vector

α = angle of lanching

y0 = initial vertical position

t = time

g = gravity acceleration (-9.8 m/s²)

The vector "r" can be expressed as a sum of vectors:

r = rx + ry

where

rx = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; 0)

ry = (0 ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)

rx and ry are the x-component and the y-component of "r" respectively (see figure).

a) We have to find the module of r1 in the figure. Note that the y-component of r1 is null.

r1 = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²)

Knowing the the y-component is 0, we can obtain the time of flight of the cannon ball.

0 = y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²

If the origin of the reference system is located where the cannon is, the y0 and x0 = 0.

0 = v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²

0 = t (v0 sin α + 1/2 g t)         (we discard the solution t = 0)    

0 = v0 sin α + 1/2 g t

t = -2v0 sin α / g

t = -2 * 100 m/s * sin 53° / (-9.8 m/s²) = 16.3 s  

Now, we can obtain the x-component of r1 and its module will be the distance from the wall at which the cannon sould be placed:

x = x0 + v0 t cos α

x = 0 m + 100m/s * 16.3 s * cos 53

x = 981 m

The vector r1 can be written as:

r1 = (981 m ; 0)

The module of r1 will be: x = \sqrt{(981 m)^{2} + (0 m)^{2}}

<u>Then, the cannon should be placed 981 m from the wall.</u>

b) The procedure is the same as in point a) only that now the y-component of the vector r2 ( see figure) is not null:

r2y = (0 ; y0 + v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t² )

The module of this vector is 10 m, then, we can obtain the time and with that time we can calculate at which distance the cannon should be placed as in point a).

module of r2y = 10 m

10 m = v0 t sin α + 1/2 g t²

0 = 1/2 g t² + v0 t sin α - 10 m

Let´s replace with the data:

0 = 1/2 (-9.8 m/s² ) t² + 100 m/s * sin 53 * t - 10 m

0= -4.9 m/s² * t² + 79.9 m/s * t - 10 m

Solving the quadratic equation we obtain two values of "t"

t = 0.13 s and t = 16.2 s

Now, we can calculate the module of the vector r2x at each time:

r2x = ( x0 + v0 t cos α ; 0)

r2x = (0 m + 100m/s * 16.2 s * cos 53 ; 0)

r2x = (975 m; 0)

Module of r2x = 975 m

at t = 0.13 s

r2x = ( 0 m + 100m/s * 0.13 s * cos 53 ; 0)

r2x = (7.8 m ; 0)

module r2x = 7.8 m

You can place the cannon either at 975 m or at 7.8 m (see the red trajectory in the figure) although it could be dangerous to place it too close to the enemy fortress!

Planet-X has a mass of 3.42×1024 kg and a radius of 8450 km. What is the First Cosmic Speed i.e. the speed of a satellite on a l
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

First cosmic speed = 5195.74m/s

Second cosmic speed = 7346.05m/s

The raduis of the synchronous 0rbit of satellite is 2.80×10^7m

Explanation:

The first cosmic speed Is determined using the Orbital speed equation which is given by:

V = Sqrt(GM/r)

Where G = gravitational constant = 6.67 ×10^-11

M = Mass of planet

r = radius of the planet

V = Sqrt (6.67×10^-11)(3.42×10^24)/(8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt (2.28×10^14)/(8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt ( 26995739.64)

V = 5195.75m/s

The second cosmic speed is given by :

V = Sqrt(2 × GM)/r

V = Sqrt (2 × (6.67×10^-11)(3.42×10^24)/(8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt( 4.5×10^14)/ (8450×10^3)

V = Sqrt(53964497.04)

V = 7346.05m/s

The raduis of the synchronous orbit if the satellite around the planet is given by:

r = Cuberoot(T^2GM/4 pi r^2where T is the period of rotation of the planet in second

Given :

T = 17.1 hours converting to seconds

T = 17.1 ×60 ×60 = 61560 seconds

Substituting into the equation

r = Cuberoot ([(61560)^2×(6.67×10^-11)(3.42×10^24)/ (4 ×3.142×r^2)]

r = 2.80×10^7m
