Answer:
The magnitude of the net force is √2F.
Explanation:
Since the two particles have the same charge Q, they exert the same force on the test charge; both attractive or repulsive. So, the angle between the two forces is 90° in any case. Now, as we know the magnitude of these forces and that they form a 90° angle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the magnitude of the resultant net force:
Then, it means that the net force acting on the test charge has a magnitude of √2F.
Answer:
(a)0.531m/s
(b)0.00169
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of bullet, m=4.67 g=
1 kg =1000 g
Speed of bullet, v=357m/s
Mass of block 1,
Mass of block 2,
Velocity of block 1,
(a)
Let velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=v2
Using conservation of momentum
Initial momentum=Final momentum
Hence, the velocity of the second block after the bullet imbeds itself=0.531m/s
(b)Initial kinetic energy before collision
Final kinetic energy after collision
Now, he ratio of the total kinetic energy after the collision to that before the collision
=
=0.00169
