Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the net force acting on an object is equal to the product between the object's mass and its acceleration:

F = ma

For the hockey puck, there are no forces acting on it during its motion, since ice friction and air resistance are negligible. This means that the net force is zero:

F = 0

But this means that the acceleration is also zero:

a = 0

So the hockey puck is moving already at constant velocity. Therefore, there is no need for additional forces.

When a slice of buttered toast is accidentally pushed over the edge of a counter, it rotates as it falls. If the distance to the
Serjik [45]

Answer:

a) 5.61 rad/s

b) 16.83 rad/s

Explanation:

Distance to the floor = 79cm = 0.79m

Rotation is <1 revolution

The toast will rotate at an angular speed that is constant while it falls. The toast will also be falling with constant acceleration due to gravity. Using equation of motion, which is

S = ut + 1/2gt²

S = 0 + 1/2gt²

S = gt², where, S = d

0.79 = 9.81t²

t² = 0.79/9.81

t² = 0.081

t = 0.28s

As the toast is accidentally pushed, it rotates as it falls. It will be landing on its edges when and if it hits the ground. The smallest angle here would then be 1/4 of the revolution. This is also the smallest angular speed.

ω(min) = ΔΦ revolution /Δt

ω(min) = 1/4 * 2π / 0.28

ω(min) = 0.5π/0.28

ω(min) = 5.61 rad/s

Since 1/4 of revolution is the minimum angle, the remaining(3/4), is the maximum angle. Thus

ω(max) = 3/4 * 2π / 0.28

ω(max) = 0.75 * 2π / 0.28

ω(max) = 16.83 rad/s

A 4.89 μC test charge is placed 4.10 cm away from a large, flat, uniformly charged nonconducting surface. The force on the charg
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The new force on the test charge is 145.02N

Explanation:

Force on a unit positive charge can be calculated using coulomb's law.

F =Kq²/r²

Where

F is the force on the charge = 321 N

K is a constant = 8.99 X10⁹ Nm²/C²

q is a test charge = 4.89 μC  = 4.89 X10⁻⁶ C

r is the distance between the charge and the surface = 4.1cm

F ∝1/r²

Force on the charge is inversely proportional the square of distance between the charge and the surface.

Fr² = constant

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²

F₂ = F₁r₁²/r₂²

If the charge is then moved 2.00 cm farther away from the surface;

The new distance becomes 4.10 cm + 2.00 cm = 6.1 cm

Therefore, r₂ = 6.1 cm, r₁ = 4.1 cm, F₁ =321 N

F₂ = (321 X4.1²)/(6.1²)

F₂ = 145.02N

Therefore, The new force on the test charge is 145.02N
